Hi, I believe jack_transport, JOQ's new implementation, is a standard part of jackd--doesn't require compile time flags. Jackd does not require runtime flags to detect clients that include jack_transport capabilities. Consequently, if either Ardour or Rosegarden included the transport functionality, issuing transport commands from either will cause the other to respond in sync. Very user friendly. The old jack transport sync capability is still working, I think, but deprecated. Ardour supports the old sync and JAMin supports the new implementation. So I suspect you could sync Ardour and JAMin. Might be worth trying just to see it. ron --- Aaron Trumm <aaron@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > hi all - I'm trying to understand the concept of > Jack Transport, so I can > understand what's not working, and what I'm just > missing... > > here's an example I crossing my fingers on, but > figured wouldn't work: run > jack, run ardour, run rosegarden. set ardour to > "jack transport master" and > rosegarden to "jack transport slave" - play ardour, > hope that rosegarden > starts up - of course this didn't happen, but I can > hope! :) > > I knew it wouldn't happen, because the sync > capabilities in both programs > aren't done, I know that part - but I was curious if > it would try at least, > or what > > but then it occurred to me that even with everything > working, there may be > something more to do, perhaps with Jack (what?
