This looks interesting. It built OK, but when I run it, the GUI image never appears - just an empty window.
I had the same problem to start with, until I figured out that it was halting due to an inability to open the sound device that it was trying to open:
... spawning audio thread bristolAudioOpen(plughw:0,0, 44100, 256, 1200008) audioOpen(b7f9a200, 0, 1024): plughw:0,0 opening device plughw:0,0, flags 0000000d open playback on plughw:0,0, pre 8 Could not configure playback period size period size is -1208655184 Problem opening audio device plughw:0,0, exiting audio thread ...
On my system, audio "device" 0 is a virtual MIDI device (for some reason which escapes me at the moment). I have audio output devices (soundcards, the first built-in, and the second an add-on card) at "1,0" and "2,0". For some reason I'm not able to get Bristol to use the add-on card at 2,0, though other audio applications (some through JACK, others not) are able to. Bristol is working for me if I add "-audiodev plughw:1,0", though its output isn't very loud (compared to other audio applications), which I worry about because I would ideally like to use it in lieu of hardware synthesizers, and I'm as yet unable to get any MIDI control of it. :-( I hope I've helped ... Can anyone help me control Bristol via MIDI? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Robitaille syl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Major in Electroacoustic Studies Concordia University Faculty of Fine Arts / Music Department Montreal, Quebec, Canada ----------------------------------------------------------------------
