LMMS • Forums

Hello everyone.
First of all, I have to tell I'm using LMMS on a Nokia N900 with Maemo-Leste.
Then, I can play a single instrument (eg: kick) on both the Beat-BassLine editor and the song editor, but as I put 2 or more tracks on the song editor, I get no sound.
What can I do? I left the defaults options and directly jump to try this out.

Thanks if you help.

Hello everyone.
I'm using LMMS on a Nokia N900 with Maemo-Leste.
::
as I put 2 or more tracks on the song editor, I get no sound.

First, what happens if you disconnect your Nokia?
Can you use lmms with your pc-keyboard, and get a multi-track respond?
For this test, you need to shutdown your pc. disconnect all cables to your Nokia, and only have a normal pc-keybrd

-connected. Then restart pc, and open LMMS, and the same project, that gives you grief now.
Play!
What is the result?

I'm not @ home ATM.
Will try ASAP.

I can't disconnect anything from my N900, because it is itself a device.
As I said, I'm using Maemo-Leste from it (https://maemo-leste.github.io/ ), and LMMS from Maemo-Leste.
Anyhow, if I press a key (eg: q) on the keyboard, I can hear a quick beep and then the sound stops, while the note keeps processing (but I can't hear it).

Another weird behavior is that if I play a chord, I can't hear anything, if I shift one of the 2 notes even just a step away, I can hear the first (in chronological order) but the sound stops on the second. Adding a third note still I can't hear anything.

If this could help, I get a message from LMMS on starting, saying I can't use the realtime mode.

Please, let me know if should I send a log or so.

Thanks for trying to help btw.

"and LMMS from Maemo-Leste." That is not supported. I have no idea what can be 'in' that, and i cant even recommend you using it.
LMMS is open source!
Anyone can make a version, but they sure cant call it LMMS!
'LMMS' is o n l y LMMS if it is downloaded from this site:
https://lmms.io/download/

Is your version some kind of linux variant?
Currently The supported linux version of lmms, is an APP-image:
https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/releases/d ... 4.AppImage
That and only that is recommended and supported!

Maemo-Leste is a Debian derivative.
LMMS on it is just a .deb downloaded from a repo.
It's a build of LMMS compiled for a different architecture, but uses the official source code.

Now, is it there any log I can send or anything to identify the problem?

I don't think who uses LMMS from Debian Stretch on a x64 don't get support at all, so please, at least try.

Nokia N900

OMG thats a smartphone I thought it was a Midi-devise (stupid me..)
I will say a definitively NO way of running LMMS on any smartphone!
Im next to flabbergasted that you can load lmms, but ofcause you cant use lmms on a smartphone.
That is not possible, and not supported, as in erroneous architecture. A complete rebuild of LMMS would be needed. Honestly, can you run GIMP on that devise? -Or even open office? You need a notebook(?), labtop or desktop for computer programs, they are not APPs

Yes, I can run both Gimp and LibreOffice on it. It's possible with Android too, using any chroot environment.
The drawback is quality: on Android I get jerky sound, on N900 I get monophonic.
