#50 send Note-Off on Stop for midi-out handling

Have you tried clicking the exclamation mark button on the upper right? Doesn't this stop the sound either?

send Note-Off on Stop for midi-out handling

Simon — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 10:18:48 -0000

Hello,
i am using frinika to send looped midi data to a midi-cv interface to drive an analouge synth. if i click 'Stop' while a note is active, this note will stay until until note-off is sent manually (using the left border of piano roll, which sends new note-on and note-off). I'm not if bug or feature (with some "more natural" midi-synths, it might be charming to hear the reverbant sounds as with real instruments?).
but i would like to get note-off an all active notes, so that 'stop' means 'stop' :-)
Another Error that i get is, that if two notes are legato, i.e. note-off and next note-on are at the same time, next note is not played (i guess, only one command is sent in this case).

Helper to get sound working easily

Daniel Clemente — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 11:34:16 -0000

At the program startup, a dialog may offer to play sound on some channels and systems until the user can hear a tone. If the user cannot hear the tone, Frinika can help them diagnose the problem.

This is important because there are lots of setup problems which cause sound not to work: permissions, selecting other device, wrong transport (alsa, oss, jackd, …), having volume too down, channel muted, wrong connections in jack, … And you want nevertheless to cause the user a good first impression.

A couple observations, objections, and suggestions

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 01:41:08 -0000

I've been using Frinika for a while, but I have a few things I'd like to say. I have a small, widescreen laptop monitor. In order to edit music properly without excessive scrolling in the piano roll, I need to zoom out vertically and maximize the piano roll. A few things annoy me about this:

1) The default zoom level on the piano roll is way too big to do anything with, as I can barely fit an octave on my screen in the initial layout of the panes. Meanwhile, the zoom level just smaller than the default is impractically small to work with notes. I would like to see an intermediate step.

2) When I maximize the piano roll, the tab strip at the bottom becomes hidden. In order to switch to, say, the tracker, I need to unmaximize the piano roll, click the tracker, and maximize that pane again. Maybe it would be a good idea to maximize the frame that the piano roll, tracker, etc. are in, not each particular panel. I'm not married to this idea; I realize that there may be unreconcilable technicalities which render this idea impossible to implement.

3) Though the tracker LOOKS like a spreadsheet, it hardly operates like one. Try, for instance, to go down a list of notes and change all their velocities from 100 to 75. If this was Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice.org, I would copy-and-paste each value, or I could simply click on a cell and begin to type. Instead, I must manually delete the digits in a cell before I begin to type the new value. It's time-consuming and frustrating.

4) I experience a similar phenomenon in the time signature list.

5) Editing existing notes' velocities in the piano roll is time-consuming as well. I cannot select multiple notes and set their velocities all at once; the combo box above changes only the first note's velocity.

6) Since I use a laptop (and hate using touchpads), I value being able to switch tools using in GIMP or Inkscape using the keyboard. However, the piano roll and measure editor are both missing keyboard shorcuts for their tools. I'd like to be able to press S for select, P for pencil (or D for draw, since D is on the left side of the keyboard), E for eraser, etc.

insert & delete time

Anonymous — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:16:28 -0000

Hi Guys just tried Frinika and think its a great little program. Some ideas for future development would be to have insert and delete time within the track and piano roll window. Also a couple of other suggestion that would be to multi sequences within a file and then an global arrangement window to organise sequences together. (similiar to opcode's studio vision) Also the ability to view and edit audio waveform within the piano roll window but more as a wave form editor rather then midi piano roll although have noticed you can do that in the track window already. Also the ability to set loop and punchin/out editing by highlighting the wanted region with the cursour on the time/beat line ruler thing. (like audio logic) and if you can get vst/dsp plugins (like Cubase) working on the audio later on down the track that would be really cool. Keep up the great work and wish you all the best.

'R' selected by default when create a new audio track

skinhat — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 04:18:00 -0000

When create a new audio track, 'R' should be selected by default so that when you press record the wav file is recorded. Otherwise when you hit record nothing is recorded.

End time set to last recorded track

skinhat — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 04:15:25 -0000

If the user doesn't set the end time then when 'export audio' it should assume the audio is the last recorded track. Otherwise you get a wav file that is 0 seconds long.

Remember saved path cf always mydocuments

Would be good if remembered the path you last saved a file. Always goes to mydocuments in windows. Have to always browse the path.

Export as MP3

Nice if could export MP3's.
