I still seem to be rather rushed at ther moment, so again this will be brief. Going into the “Sequitur” folder and doing a simple “make” or “make release” as it’s written in the readme doesn’t seem to cut it. It would be nice if you could either fix the haikuports recipe, or document how you build Sequitur. Well, the original recipe was from someone else, I just stripped unneeded resources a while back, and recently pointed the source download to the latest commit in the Sequitur repo, because the old code didn’t build anymore, and the old Sequitur refused to launch (some runtime_loader symbols error). OK… I’m going to rant here! I really wish that whoever packaged Sequitur on HaikuPorts had contacted me first, to find out how it actually works!!! Things were switched around in such a way that nothing works! No Tools, no Devices,… NO DOCUMENTATION FROM the APP’s MENU! Let’s talk about that later, after we’ve fixed the Sequitur package. It looks like for my shallow needs, Sequitur is the only(?) choice. Just quickly, concerning CSound and possibly your MusicWeaver: Currently I’m looking for really just a layman’s GUI app to play around and record sounds and little tunes. As long as everything is in the overall Sequitur folder, the app will run anywhere, so it doesn’t have to be “installed”. You’d have to unpack the current hpkg in some writeable location to get the working executable and merge in the missing bits. I guess the only place to get the missing stuff is again from my site: or the zip version is on BeShare. I made the original package, and it has everything, but it uses the original build of 2.1.2 – which no longer runs on current systems! It looks as a quick check, though, that restoring the missing stuff from that earlier package is perfectly compatible (they’re not executable files), so one can merge the two. On the HaikuPorts site, all the versions of Sequitur seem to have the same (lack of) content. Works fine on my earlier system of course… One of my beefs with package management!)Īnyway, a number of essential folders are missing, and therefore you’re right – so are the icons! Heh… Dunno who packaged the current 2.1.2-5, but it is indeed missing a lot of essential stuff!! (I downloaded the 2.1.2-5 hpkg direrctly from repository and unpacked it manually. If you can explain your problems in more detail, I’ll be glad to try to help. It’s of course what I wrote my Novachord in.Īnd for generally playing with MIDI, I of course recommend the MusicWeaver… (Not available as an hpkg yet, but it runs fine in PM. Anyhow, with that one can generate almost any sound from almost any source. FTR, Csound has been around for decades, based on work by the pioneer Max Mathews, but is still being actively developed. I have it working in my PM partition, but it’s a pain to set up I haven’t got round to making an hpkg yet, as there’s some effort involved there, too. I use software called ‘Csound’, but again I ported it pre-PM. ![]() What seems to be missing?Īs to playing things like WAVs with MIDI, it can be done, but not with a sequencer (with Sequitur anyway). With the version I have, I can record MIDI, and can edit the resulting tracks. ![]() However they are both 2.1.2 (I bumped that rev), so they should behave the same. ![]() Mnyehh… Looks like a) the version on HaikuDepot thinks it wants a brand new hrev, so I can’t look at it directly, and b) I did my updating pre-PM, and that version doesn’t run in PM. I think the Sequitur available on the depot is the one I fixed up for Haiku, but I’ll go check. One of the main things I do in Haiku is MIDI! In fact I’ve been playing with it all morning… (Trying to write an emulator for the Novachord ) Hmm… I use Sequitur quite a lot – and reasonably successfully.
