wish: Jack Transport about frescobaldi HOT 11 OPEN

Currently the MIDI player just serves the proof-listening need, and should work on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Is Jack available on other platforms besides Linux? However it would be a nice idea, probably fitting with the other MIDI goal: real-time music entry.

Yes, the MIDI-Player works fine. I work often with it. Jack is available for Windows, too, bit I don´t know as it´s that good like on Linux. It´s crossplattform: http://jackaudio.org/download

Today and tomorrow I will try to work on this setup: Frescobaldi -> Renoise (works with Jack Transport) -> LinuxSampler. So, I wouldn´t use Renoise for this Setup if the build-in MIDI-Player would have Jack-Transport. With Jack-Transport you can press play for all MIDI-Players, Sequencers, Samplers ... that have Jack-Transport. E.g.: Frescobaldi for orchestral work, Renoise for Electronics. This would be a very fine and nice setup for compsing not only with notation. I think, it´s a little special, bit I will need it ...

For me it would be very useful because I often use Frescobaldi along with Stretchplayer, which requires Jack. When Jack is running, I can't play any midi in Frescobaldi (even using timidity... which works on terminal).

UPDATE: It seems that you can redirect ALSA output to PulseAudio and then JACK, but I could not make it work yet.

With regard to crossplatform issue... MuseScore can use JACK on Windows, according to this guide:

(I am aware that this is some kind of developer question, but I don't know anything about Jack...)

Will using the python bindings to RtMidi (which can use Linux/Alsa and Linux/Jack backends) make using Jack possible like described here?

You better ask this on the jack-devel mailinglist:

@wbsoft Did you ever asked to those mailing lists? I'm sure that you would get some help.

From jackaudio applications list there are two projects mentioned as python bindings:

• jackclient-python
• pyjack

Frescobaldi uses Alsa for midi, right?

I'm doing a few experiments to let Pulseaudio and Jack use the same sound card, that is routing the audio of some applications (rhythmbox, firefox) to jack. There's a module called pulseaudio-module-jack in Fedora which allows this.

When I start Frescobaldi, I see that in the preferences that qjackctl is picked automatically. This is great, but the sound doesn't work. It doesn't work the other option (Midi Through Port-0) neither.

I guess that I should route Alsa to Jack, right?
This is more complicate though. I'll make a try.

For the records, it seems that PipeWire may be the future of multimedia (on Linux only).
