02 - Freebee.mid in https://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/images/6/68/DX-Ball_%28W32%29.zip .
Because https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxaudio/comments/1ae3nx1/anyone_know_what_t… so I installed realtime-privileges , sudo usermod -aG realtime a then reboot.
This .mid sounds correct by vsthost.exe (by Proton) with SCVA, but not by Qtractor & yabridge with SCVA: at least 1 track is played intermittently, why? Is it a Qtractor bug?
re. Qtractor with SCVA work not well...
sorry to tell, support to non-native linux plugins, whatever their type, is not really a top priority here :S
also, yabridge, which is a dang PITA to work with in every other winehq update, is way out of scope here too--if not none at all.
so sorry again.
Well ok, I can use VSTHost…
Well ok, I can use VSTHost to play my .mid, but:
https://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/2805 , https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/User:Jebez/How-tos_about_MIDI_%26_SCVA… , now the question is: how to route the EDuke32 MIDI output to the SCVA input, using VSTHost, or other, Carla https://kx.studio/Applications:Carla ? Carla has Linux & Window$ version, since SCVA is a Window$ software, so maybe better a Window$ VST host, to avoid the issue?
I know it's not your softwares, about VSTHost I found not in the manual https://www.hermannseib.com/documents/VSTHost.pdf (in https://www.hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm ), I tried without success (EDuke32: MIDI driver: ALSA MIDI, Device: no devices found), if you know not I'll try https://forum.hermannseib.com/ .
Big update: Qtractor General…
Big update:
Qtractor
General MIDI LV2 Synth https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gmsynth.lv2/
02 - Freebee.mid (has lot of tracks: 10)
same issue, 1 track is played intermittently! Here only Linux, no Window$.
So what to do? Is it a Qtractor bug? Or some settings?
re. track is played intermittently...
may you explain what you mean with intermittently ?
and how and where you're inserting the plugin? you should know that for multi-timbral instrument plugins like gmsynth.lv2 you'll have to insert it on an MIDI output bus, don't you?
seeya
intermittently: not…
intermittently: not continuously, sometimes the track is played, sometimes no.
Like I wrote in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/User:Jebez/How-tos_about_MIDI_%26_SCVA… :
Qtractor, View, Buses..., Master - MIDI bus, Output Plugins, Add..., General MIDI Synth, OK, close General MIDI Synth - Master Out, close Buses, Track, Import Tracks, MIDI..., a .mid file.
An other big update:
Play 02 - Freebee.mid fine
Route the EDuke32 MIDI output to the SCVA input
Route the DOSBox with Duke Nukem 3D MIDI output to the SCVA input https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=71282
success by Carla ! I prefer Carla now...
Qtractor is older than Carla, why 2 softwares? Would it have been better if the developers joined Qtractor instead of creating Carla?
