Decent Notation and MIDI `piano roll' editor
|
|
|
|
MIDI: Rosegarden development is focused on ALSA. This release can use
|
|
MIDI on non-ALSA systems, via aRts; sequencer playback, recording, and
|
|
step-recording in the notation and matrix editors are all usable, with
|
|
these caveats: (1) the OSS support in aRts uses only the raw MIDI nodes,
|
|
not the in-kernel sequencer, so its timing precision is limited by
|
|
scheduling of the artsd user process, and involves frequent IPC among 3
|
|
user processes; the surprise is it works at all, but on a lightly loaded
|
|
system it is listenable. (2) at present only one playback client gets
|
|
registered with the aRts MIDI manager, limiting playback to 16 MIDI
|
|
channels. (3) the matrix and notation editors give audible feedback of
|
|
chosen notes over MIDI output, but Note Off is not sent; be sure to choose
|
|
a patch without sustain for the echo voice.
|
|
|
|
Audio: the developers support ALSA and JACK. There is aRts audio code
|
|
in this release and it compiles, but I have tested nothing.
|
|
|
|
Note that this release of rosegarden is not considered to be fully stable.
