Brief description
Using external Synthesizers (Zynaddsubfx for example) the recording (realtime) results in problems.
Renoise is sending on all channels NoteOff and SoundOff signals right before the recording, which lets ZynaddsubFx crash. Obviously this is not really a problem of renoise, BUT in the MIDI configuration section you have options for recording. But it does not seem they have any effect.
Steps to reproduce
- Start Jack (or Rewire I guess)
- Start a synthesizer (hardware or Zynaddsubfx for example)
- add the synthesizer as an MIDI Instrument in renoise
- Add a Line Input which connects to the MIDI Instrument output.
- Play around, should make a sound.
- Turn off all Options in the Preference MIDI Section about recording : Velocities, Notes Off, …
- Make every output (except the midi clock) visible in the MIDI Tab.
- Clear the MIDI output History there.
- Render this thing to a file (you should put in some notes of this MIDI instrument), in realtime.
Expected results
The file will be rendered, and just the notes I’ve put in the project will be send to the MIDI instrument.
Actual results
Before and after recording renoise sends NoteOff and SoundOff Signals to the MIDI Instrument, on all MIDI Channels.
I mean it is obvious that it makes sense to clean everything before recording, but it would be great to have an option to turn this behavior off. Or maybe I’m miss-understanding the whole thing.
