Advanced Gtk+ Sequencer ==== The gsequencer binary provides you a user interface. It allows you to play, capture and create music. There is a piano roll, automation and wave form editor. It has machines for playing drum samples, Soundfont2 sound containers and synthesizers. They usually can be connected to a MIDI input source (instrument). All sources need to be connected to the sink provided by AgsPanel, thus the properties dialog from machine's context menu is responsible. The engine is extensible by following plugin formats: LADSPA, DSSI, LV2 and VST3. It has support for various audio backends like ALSA, Pulseaudio, JACK, OSSv4 and CoreAudio.

Please visit http://rt.wiki.kernel.org for more information. Following site gives you advice in configuring ALSA http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Low_latency_howto You might want to disable systemd accounting. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.resource-control.html systemd-run -p CPUAccounting=false -p MemoryAccounting=false -p TasksAccounting=false -p IOAccounting=false -p BlockIOAccounting=false --scope gsequencer If you have pulseaudio running you might run `gsequencer` with pasuspender like: pasuspender -- gsequencer Purpose ==== The Advanced Gtk+ Sequencer framework is related to audio computation by representing it within a tree structure. It does various abstraction and the base library can serve as fundament of any application. libags provides an application context and a threaded tree. Which is synchronized by hard-realtime fashion. In terms of deterministic dead-line. Each tic of the used threads has to fulfill its work in order to proceed. The file object might be used for light-weight composition or persistency. libags-audio is built upon libags and provides a tree of audio signals. They can be computed in parallel. One key feature is the nested recycling tree. It allows to share audio data across channels. Further it avoids to wedge the parallel tree. There is support for free plugin standards like LADPSA, DSSI and Lv2. So it does give support to read or write MIDI data. libags-gui is a standalone library providing additional Gtk+-2.0 widgets. GSequencer is the main application providing a Gtk+-2.0 GUI. Allowing you to edit or record notation. It is designed to be accessible you should be able to $control the entire application by keyboard. Likewise it implements various Atk interfaces. The frontend to AGS requires to add machines by menubar and link them appropriately with properties dialog. It is available of the context menu. Note you can't create any loops within the tree. Build using mingw ==== To build on windows you need gnulib. First import some functions using gnulib then compile with msys2. git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git ./gnulib/gnulib-tool --import langinfo regex signal-h sigaction strings sys_types memcpy lib-msvc-compat autoreconf -fi ./configure --prefix=/mingw64 --disable-rt --enable-threads=windows --enable-w32api --disable-alsa --enable-alsa-compat --disable-pulse --disable-jack --enable-wasapi --disable-x11 --with-poppler make -j8 make install Build with VST3 support ==== To build gsequencer with VST3 support you need download and compile the VST3 SDK. Then you can set some env variables configure is aware of. export CXXFLAGS="-include cstdio -include limits -std=gnu++20 -fpermissive" export LIBAGS_VST3_RELEASE_TYPE="-DRELEASE" export LIBAGS_VST3_CXXFLAGS="-I$HOME/github/VST_SDK/vst3sdk" export LIBAGS_VST3_LIBDIR="-L$HOME/github/VST_SDK/build/lib" ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-vst3 make -j8 sudo make install When you have lost ==== Assumed you modify frequencies of threads, you may encounter "out-of-sync" this is some sort of dead-lock. Thought, it would be possible to recover such but it requires in depth knowledge of synchronization and its implications as well how it is implemented with GSequencer. Advanced Gtk+ Sequencer does tic-based parallelism to perform additions or compute synths, filters and other procedural work. Only within the very same tic can be used conditional locks. There is a worker thread abstraction provided by the framework, which requires a dedicated strategy to alter values of ports. The application interface consumes messages provided by message delivery. Just add the wanted message queue. General Notes on Licensing ==== The Advanced Gtk+ Sequencer code base uses copyright year ranges for its source files. There was much effort on implementing the API since 2005 as of to day in year 2023. The source code was developed by Joël Krähemann and is the copyright holder.
