Holding a key down

[nomedia]

...doesn't work properly anymore.



I installed some older version and everything went back to normal.

Are you having problems with LMMS?
You should not revert to an old release, instead we should find the reason for the issue.
If you want help..
please post your:
* OS (+service-pack-version)
* lmms version
* lmms sound device chosen
* hardware specification (ram & soundcard is the most important)

@nomedia I believe this is your issue: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/851
The issue is closed as it's not with lmms and we have no workaround.

[nomedia]

Yes, that's the issue. "xset r off" workaround works.

What's weird is:
why did it work before
why did it break
and why reverting seems to fix it?




Anyway... If it works as i think it does:

Code: Select all

//Pseudocode:

prevKeyDown = False

while True:
    keyDown = isKeyDown()
    
    if keyDown and not prevKeyDown:
        startNote()
    elif not keyDown and prevKeyDown:
        endNote()
    
    prevKeyDown = keyDown

a dirty fix would be to do something like this?:

Code: Select all

//Pseudocode:

prevKeyDown = False
releaseTime = False 
notePlaying = False

while True:
    keyDown = isKeyDown()
    
    if keyDown and not prevKeyDown:
        notePlaying = True
        startNote()
    elif not keyDown and prevKeyDown:
        releaseTime = Now() + 50 //ms
    
    prevKeyDown = keyDown
    
    if notePlaying and Now() > releaseTime:
    \tnotePlaying = False
    \tstopNote()

but i don't think it's a good practice

I installed some older version and everything went back to normal.

It caused by a lack of required drivers I think.

I guess the reason is different
