Hi Rui,
I'm having a couple of issues with qtractor and qjackctl with an install on a new machine. I'll post the qjackctl issue separately in its section of the forum following this.
When opening the fluidsynth-dssi gui via the Mixer, it's displayed correctly and I can load a soundfont and change options. The soundfont also plays correctly. However, when I re-open the gui all information has been reset to default - no soundfont loaded, default options. Even so, the audio still plays correctly - it's just the gui that's been reset. Something similar happened a couple of years ago.
When reloading the project via File > Open Recent, the audio is still OK (but gui still reset to defaults, as before). However, after making an arbitrary change (e.g. solo/unsolo a track), saving, then reloading via File > Open Recent, no audio will play. i.e. Qtractor/fluidsynth-dssi seem to remain in the "audio playing" state only until the session is altered and re-saved/re-loaded.
FYI, when closing the GUI I get the below in Qtractor's messages, but I've had this for ages so I imagine it may not be relevant to this:
(FluidSynth-DSSI_gtk:6310): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 7 was not found when attempting to remove it
I've attached 2 simple qtz files:
1) fluidTest_pre.qtz: after initially loading the soundfont/changing options
2) fluidTest_post.qtz: after making a change in the session and resaving the session
You'll see that, in fluidTest_post.qtz, the configs area (at least) has the patch etc. info missing.
I got the packages from your https://www.rncbc.org/archive/:
libfluidsynth-devel-2.0.3-15.rncbc.suse.x86_64.rpm
fluidsynth-dssi-1.1.0-4.rncbc.suse.x86_64.rpm
fluidsynth-2.0.3-15.rncbc.suse.x86_64.rpm
I also have a libfludsynth1 (1.1.11-lp150.1.1) installed, which was pulled in by YaST (I'm on opensuse like you) when I installed lv2-calf. Is there any problem with having both this and your libfluidsynth2? I tried temporarily uninstalling it but it made no difference to the above problem.
I'm running the latest git version of qtractor.
Thanks as ever.
RE: ...I'll post the qjackctl issue separately
You can ignore this bit. It seems it's fine now after resetting QjackCtl.conf :-)
re. fluidsynth-dssi not restoring after session save/load
oops!
this seems a bad move in the latest v0.9.4 indeed! v0.9.3 seems not to be suffering from this issue.
have to run git bisect on this :(
byee
[UPDATE:] Maybe fixed on qtractor-0.9.4.2git.3bc6f2. thanks.
re. fluidsynth-dssi not restoring after session save/load
Looks fixed - thanks :-)
BTW, is it OK to have both libfluidsynth1/2 installed? I haven't seen any ill effects with this, but don't think I've ever needed it before.
re. is it OK to have both libfluidsynth1/2 installed?
yes, as long you have no dependencies on libfluidsynth1 you can get rid of it.
cheers
re. is it OK to have both libfluidsynth1/2 installed?
OK, thanks. It seems lv2-calf needs it so I'll keep things as they are if it's no problem to have.
