But what about a vanilla Distro user? Won't Qtractor fail to work unless the User specifies "pw-jack qtractor" if jackd is not present?

should be the same as any or all jack applications out there; qtractor is no special in that regard (ie. demand jackd to be installed)

So in Debian world this should please everyone...?

Code: Select all

jackd | pipewire-jack

in the control file

what about having none of that?

qtractor from (my) repos, both OBS and PPA, have this in its debian control files: Build-Depends: libjack-dev | libjack-jackd2-dev Well, that very same line is in the control file of the debian package ( https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/qtractor/-/blob/master/debian/control?ref_type=heads )...

You're right. I forgot that I installed Qtr. from RNBC's repo. :wink: qtractor from (my) repos, both OBS and PPA, have this in its debian control files: Build-Depends: libjack-dev | libjack-jackd2-dev note the -dev suffix; debian crackheads should advise whether and what should be provided as a pro...

it's probably interesting how you can hit the 'Start' button when you say you're already running jackd from the command line, or isn't it?? isn't the qjackctl main display saying 'Active' as server state ? that would tell qjackctl is running in pure jack client mode so the 'Start' button should have...

How do I send clock data via Qtractor?

Options... > MIDI > Control > MIDI Clock = "Output", obviously

the MIDI Start/Stop/SPP events are NOT MIDI channel messages: they apply to the system they are sent/received as a whole. so it's down to your target device; you already notice the start/stop buttons get lit so the messages are being received alright but no reacted upon... so, I suppose qtractor is ...

if the MIDI/Control/SSP option is set to Output or Duplex then you should get: MIDI Start message when playback starts; MIDI Stop when it stops; MIDI Song Position Pointer (SPP) when you change the play-head ad-hoc. as mentioned, these messages are sent either through the dedicated MIDI Qtractor:Con...

hi, kinda lost without further details. but still, the start/stop "signals" mentioned in the manual are the ones related to MIDI 1.0 SPP messages (for Song Position Pointer; cf. View > Options... > MIDI > Control > SPP = Output|Duplex); and, ofc. these are out through the Control output po...

it is, and also it is built to qt6-static libraries and sure to work even against ardour.org sainctoned binaries.

which might also be an edge on closed-source repear, who knows? you tell me.

i'd recommend my ppa's (even for the pure-debian-crackheads-not-afraid-of-frankendebianitis:)) "jammy" one might be a good choice: https://launchpad.net/~rncbc/+archive/ubuntu/apps-jammy ftr. check https://www.rncbc.org/drupal/comment/9850#comment-9850 then replace "focal" for &...
