Automation and stuck note troubles I am having with LMMS
Posted: Sat Nov 04, 2017 10:15 pm
Hello,
First, thanks for the add to this site. I am new to LMMS but am a long time Linux user/admin, and am running LMMS v 1.1.3 64 bit on a linux mint 18.2 machine.
The first issue I have is with automating tempo. I want to change it from 120 bpm to 96 bpm over a number of bars, using the linear tool in the automation editor. However, try as I may, I cannot get it to set to 96 bpm. I can get 95 or 97, but not 96. Is there a way of typing in the value rather than dragging the pointer thing in the editor? Now, the starting value is easy to set, as I can ctrl drag it in, but not the ending value?
The second issue I have is of 'stuck notes'. So, what happens is I will turn on an instrument and there will be a note playing. Try as I may, I cannot make the note go away, except restart lmms. This only seems to happen with zynaddsubfx instruments, and appeared it seems only after I added in an maudio mini32 midi keyboard. And then I cannot get rid of the zynaddsubfx first gui screen unless if I kill it from the command line.
The whole thing feels a bit flaky. Is there a better lmms build I could use, and which would give me access to VST instruments?
Thanks
