It only uses a constant 50% on mine, and I think if I had four processors instead of two it would only use 25%. It doesn't seem to matter what video mode I choose. This will become a greater problem once I start using schism more on my laptop and am concerned about battery life, but I also intend to run linux on my new laptop, so in that case, it won't be a problem. It would be nice to get it to use only the CPU it needs in windows. I imagine it's probably an SDL issue.

some interesting info about SDL poll, wait, and delay events. Like I know anything :P

Thank you for your replies! I'm glad that it seems to be a windows-only thing :)

How is the performance on Linux, then? Jarod T. Cabrera, how much CPU does Schism Tracker consume when it's idle and when you play a "normal" module on your 350mhz system?

Thank you!

So long as you have a good Xv support- that is, a graphics card/driver that supports an overlay at least 1280x400 (as indicated by the maximum XvImage size in xvinfo) and your alsa driver doesn't require any emulation, then it's usually using around 3% when playing (at least on my system).

Any update on this?

It seems to be purely a Windows issue where schism constantly pegs the cpu usage; not to say it doesn't share with other apps just fine, but really causes a lot of unnecessary heat and battery usage. Other sdl apps don't seem to have this issue.

> it's strange because. only left alt + enter = fullscreen, not right alt + enter

Does right alt work for any other keys? It's probably that your keymap is set up so that right alt is actually AltGr or some other modifier.

Wonderfull tracker! Never been much into impulse tracker before, but now that you gave me the chance to run "it" on Linux I'm now completely sold. I now know what I missed using other trackers. :D

Thanks a million!

Hehe, just imagine what it's like with everything actually working :D

this is amazing indeed :}}}}

Schism tracker is amazing! THANK YOU FOR SCHISM TRACKER!!!

Whoops, let me revise that:

When played on Quicktime, the Saw Wave is supposed to sound like the one played at Program 82 (81 in Schism Tracker), and Bank Select MSB 1 (1 in Schism Tracker?).

Did you put something useful in the Bank Select in the MIDI output page?

Try something like:

Bc 00 a Bc 20 b

in the bank select field on the MIDI output configuration.

I bet you're using Firefox.

Apparently there's some problem between lighttpd and Firefox, and nobody wants to actually fix it. I don't know.

(hint: click the refresh button)

nothing happens here? :o

whats with the 'report anonymous statistics to developers' in the autopackage installation?

what is send if chosen to?

>>4255

I think it goes here:

http://autopackage.org/statistics/display.php?table=version&action=View&rid=250

which isn't that interesting, because I don't think anyone submits statistics.

ctrl-f11 says 44100hz 16bit stereo
then if i diskwrite the tune to wavefile with shift-f10,
it hard-defaults to 48khz. i cant transcode from 48khz to 44.1khz because itll start sounding really fucking muddy. what can i do PLEASE

Edit your config file. It presently says:

[Diskwriter]
rate=48000

An old version defaulted to that. Edit your config file.

oh sorry... I had the same problem before, I try to increase buffer size, once it worked

erm... okay it doesnt stop now but still not at a stable tempo :\

How are you testing a stable tempo? Are you using arecordmidi or timidity or some real midi gear?

just connecting another pc and listening to the sotsynth running on. Its conspicouos enough. If I send events from a midi keyboard to the same stuff, that works fine. (and it worked fine with another midi tracker)

renoise fucked up me... I didn't like the way to sort/manage patterns. But if i cant make schism's midi out work fine, I'll have to use renoise or other stuff (last enter festival ["festival"] i used cheese or what, I was almost the end of my music when I realized that there's only about 27 patterns to use, sorry, beta or wtf...)

The file formats won't save site-specific information; It reduces shareability and interchange.

We could add latency to each output (however) fairly easily. I don't presently save selected output configuration because I wasn't aware it was stable enough to do so, so we'd probably want to do that first. Are there any reports of the MIDI page freezing users?

But why do you want to select hardware connections per instrument? Is it just because there aren't enough midi channels?

Or are you trying to connect to "midi devices" that are too stupid to select the channels/programs they want (like VSTs)?

The idea is works with an instruments Vst and devices midi simultaneously (KORG, YAMAHA, etc.).

The problem that I have is with the synchronization midi and audio, since the audio of the Schism tracker has one small latency with regard to a device midi, because of it it of the latency.

>>4234

Your KORG or YAMAHA synth should be able to select on specific channels. If you're using VSTs, you might be able to use an extra level of indirection in the meantime.

If we add it to the instruments: you wouldn't be able to save it and would have to re-enter the bindings every time you load a module. That is, until a schism-tracker module format shows up...

However I agree we need to add latency to the midi devices and will work on adding that soon...

agree with esaruoho.
first get midi working. If midi works better, you can use any midi-capable thing to do what you want. if you want to use samples with effects, you can use a sampler with any effect. but you are still welcome to use native synths or any external sound device.dot.

>>4208

yeah, unfortunately at least on my win32, even sending one midinote per row, the notes are not sent stably.. they are sent, but it is more like a shuffle gone awry, theres no way for me to place notes so that they are sent in an even way so that they continuously stay in rhythm.
hence why i cant use schism for anything:)

same thing for me... even win or linux, shuffle. Once it was explained its becouse sample handling or what.

Actually, the sound effects could be the real composing tool, not just "postprocessing". For example, composing an electronic music, it would be quite strange to track an arpeggio without delays and leave the delays "for postprocessing". So, the basic effects are strongly needed things on the composing stage.

MIDI output is fine on Linux/ALSA. If it isn't on your system try adjusting your audio buffersize making it bigger or smaller. Having too large a buffer means schism requires a more sensitive and more accurate timer. MIDI output on MacOSX should be about the same.

MIDI output on Unix/OSS is probably never going to work unless you're running nice -19 or something.

MIDI output on Windows is another story...
