Hi,

I will be using setBfree on stage in a few weeks ! I installed it on a Raspberry, and, as my midi controller doesn't have physical drawbar, I added a cheap Android tablet that access via local Wi-Fi an instance of Open Stage Control configured correctly to command drawbars and switches.
For now, everything is doing well, and I'm very enthusiastic !
But to be really usable I need a "feedback" from setBfree on program changes. I configured 20 programs, inspired from the great popular.pgm. When I load a program I need the drawbars to move on the tablet and the buttons to activate, to see the current status of the organ and be able to change slightly the sound from this starting point.
It works quite well on the UI version, that exposes a notify MIDI out channel (I understand this was added when porting to LV2 plugin): I can see my buttons light on and "drawbars" (that are actually just linear faders for now) moving; but command line version does not exposes any out channel.

I'm saying to myself that it shouldn't be very hard to add it to command line version, as the code is already here. Maybe I'm totally wrong, I didn't dove onto the code deep.

I'm bad at C++ programming, I didn't done it since I was 16 and it would take me too much time to do this :(
Is it something you think of implement one day ?

Thanks for your time !
And of course, all of it will be an open source project; explaining how to configure a Pi to get an Hammond, with optional Wifi device to control drawbars and switches, with live performances videos (Blues and swing) ! I'll let you informed.

Config files in $PREFIX/share/setbfree/ are overwritten with each new version.
customizations should be retained in a dedicated config folder.

From the GUI, clicking on percussion fast makes it slow and visa versa. I tracked this down to setPercDecayFromMIDI in tonegen.c. Everywhere else, 'fast' is TRUE or 1 or >=64. But here u<64 is TRUE, which seems wrong. I changed this to:

setPercussionFast(t, u < 64 ? FALSE: TRUE);

...and recompiled and the percussion speed button seemed to work correctly.

Hi, when i'm trying to install setBfree as it should be installed on linux(raspbian) (cd /home/pi/src/setBfree-master -> make ) i get an error :

-c -o overdrive.o overdrive.c
ccl;error:unrecognized command line option '-msse'
ccl;error:unrecognized command line option '-msse2'
ccl;error:unrecognized command line option '-mfpmath=sse'
Makefile:45: recipe for target 'overdrive.o' failed
make[1]: *** [overdrive.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/src/setBfree-master/b_overdrive'
Makefile:17:recipe for target 'b_overdrive' failed
make: *** [b_overdrive] Error 2

Meanwhile, if i delete those 3 commands (-msse,-msse2,-mfpmath=sse) from common.mak i get it installed and it works pretty good ,till im trying to play on my midi keyboard(plugged,configured with jack and dozens of diffrents ways were tried) when i'm pressing too much notes at the same time (specially black and white(from Fa to Si or more) i get a noise and it stucks for few seconds(for some settings in Jack it even stops de system from responding) so i thought that maybe those 3 commands that i have removed in the installation are the reason for that, becose i've tried lots of different settings and even bought an additional usb sound card in case that the RPI was too weak ,but all the same...

What does helped a little with de sound, was enabling the realtime mode in jack and setting the Dither to triangular ,but the noise continues, a little weaker, but it still too loud and stuck for about a second(impossible to play ).

Every additional program that you proposed i have installed and the Jack Audio works without any error messages so i have really no idea what is the reason for such a problem(i'm new to Linux ).

Any suggestions will be appreciated !

I just installed this program. Computer is an Acer AM1610-U1201A.
I have an M-Audio Keystation 61es connected by USB
When I start up setBfree, I see the drawbars and buttons and keyboards. I can adjust drawbars and press buttons at first.
The M-audio keyboard is apparently not recognized.
When I click any of the keys in the setBfree window, my computer locks up. I can't close the program. program buttons stop working.
I have to hold my power button in for 10 seconds to turn off my computer.

One knob to dial the age of the organ (crackle, x-talk, bleeding,,..)

tonegen.c: implement either of the two variants:

1. shadow-copy oscillators[] and list-elements (lep); allow to re-compile terminalMix and playMatrix and swap on the fly.
2. re-init the synth engine - short silence.

Abstraction of parameters , look-up-table age -> osc.* parameters or .cfg file?

setbfree 0.8.0 cannot be built on MIPS because the build system sets a couple of flags that are not supported on MIPS, such as -msse. Full build output can be found here:

http://hydra.gnu.org/build/561204/nixlog/1/raw

Hi,
I'm using setbfree from the debian stretch repo. I saw that there is a jboverdrive manpage installed by the package which (when reading at) looks to be a binary that I could use from the command line. That said, the debian package doesn't provide such a binary.
Before getting in touch with the debian people, I'd like to ask here if this jboverdrive binary is expected to be installed from your upstream point of view?
Thanks.

• record proper convolution sample(s) and enable convolution-cabinet emulation by default
• resample Impulse Response files on demand
• possibly merge Doppler simulation and cabinet emulation (angle dependencies)
• allow to toggle complete-bypass via MIDI-CC (currently this is a static runtime config whirl.bypass, convolution.mix)

see also:

• https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/doppler/dafx02.pdf
• http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=15120

Add simple "getting started" info that is suitable for non-coder musicians.

• update README - include simple version, links to doc
• website -> PDF ?

Info to include:

• how to set up JACK and JACK-MIDI (qjackctl, a2jmidid -e)
• possibly mention midi.driver=alsa option
• selected MIDI-CC - full list: ./src/setBfree -d
• how to split manual (program 57, 58, 59) or use multiple keyboards for each manual (midi-channels 0..2)

Step to reproduce:

• run jackd with -r 96000
• run setBfree in terminal
• now we get:

$ setBfree

init.. Audio : Scanner : Oscillators : setBfree: tonegen.c:1791: fitWave: Assertion `minWaves <= maxWaves' failed

that's because Hz * maxSamples(hardcoded to 2048), which is 66954hz for a lowest note, less than jackd samplerate.

I tried to increase maxSamples value to 4096 (tonegen.c:2031) and it seems to work well, but i think it's not the best solution, maybe we should calculate it according to current sample rate?

Hi again.
Still trying to get a full MIDI feedback with command line version, I came across some little things that you maybe would to be aware of. Here is one of those things:

Command line version nor UI sent me back any CC MIDI message for a Program Change implying vibrato switch.
For example, given this programs file:

# Program 1
2 {
   name="Program 1",
   vibratoupper=on,
   perc=on,
  }

# Program 2
3 {
   name="Program 2",
   vibratoupper=off,
   perc=off,
  }

And this config file:

midi.controller.upper.80=percussion.enable
midi.controller.upper.84=vibrato.upper

Switching between Program 1 and Program 2 repetelively only send back CC 80 0 and CC 80 127, not CC 84 0 and CC 84 127

A patch to prevent lintian from nagging.

Currently all MIDI events in one jack-period are merged and processed at the beginning of each cycle.

Especially with larger period sizes this behaviour introduces jitter and it is possible to skip short notes (note on + note off in same cycle) completely.

Fix when addressing #4

Allow to set static configuration - ie. settings that need to be passed during initialization such as MIDI-CC assignments and synth-engine configuration that can not [yet] be changed at runtime. -- see also #6

Hi @x42 ,

while updating the AUR build definitions for setBfree v0.8.7 I have noticed the following output during the package build process (re-testing the previous version v0.8.5 showed that this is not a new issue, it has been there before):

==> Checking for packaging issues...
==> WARNING: Package contains reference to $srcdir
usr/bin/setBfreeUI
usr/bin/x42-whirl
usr/lib/lv2/b_whirl/b_whirlUI_gl.so

greping the installed files from the package with the absolute src path used during build indeed shows these matches:

$ cd /usr
$ grep -R "/home/jm/build/aur-packaging/setbfree/src" * 2>/dev/null | grep matches
Binary file bin/setBfreeUI matches
Binary file bin/x42-whirl matches
Binary file lib/lv2/b_whirl/b_whirlUI_gl.so matches

These matches don't seem to be vital, as running grep on the hexdump only reveals what seem to be mere references to the source files, i.e. it's most probably only debugging info (the other two files have similar matches):

From a quick glance I found an abspath command in:

While deleting the build directory does no harm (i.e. you can still run the apps and the plugin GUI without crashes), as it is to be expected if they are only debugging info, I still wanted to know if/how it would be possible to suppress the adding of the absolute build path to the linked executables and libraries. Users who build this package from the AUR will see those messages and might be thinking that this is a packaging bug.

FYI, the files were already stripped during build (at least stripping them manually after the build has finished doesn't change anything).

Hi,

Steps to reproduce:

• define this program file:

  1 {
     name="All off",
     drawbars="000 0000 000",
    }
  
  2 {
     name="All on",
     drawbars="888 8888 888",
    }
  

• lunch setbfree with this program file

• connect new setBfree output MIDI channel to any MIDI logger

• send to setBfree MIDI in: Program Change 1

• -> it loads the "All on" program, not "All off" program

Version: setBfree 9309bd4 (command line version)

The source tarball doesn't have the XDG desktop files (found in the debian folder). As these files are useful on any Linux distribution, they are nothing Debian-specific and should be shipped in a contrib folder or similar.

many property=value pairs listed by setBfree --help are still undocumented.

In this line:
https://github.com/pantherb/setBfree/blob/master/common.mak#L6
you set it to some pre-existing file.

In this line:
https://github.com/pantherb/setBfree/blob/master/common.mak#L120
you compare in to some header file name "verabd.h".

IMO, both lines are wrong. You should install this font under $(PREFIX)$(DATADIR) and not look for preinstalled fonts.

HAVE_US should be based on user choice, not on presence of some font.

Just to let you know that I implemented attack envelopes of arbitrary length (independent from BUFFER_SIZE_SAMPLES): https://github.com/giuliomoro/setBfree/

Hi,
First of all, I want to thank you VERY much for this wonderful software.
I'm currently trying to embed setBfree to a Raspberry-PI and use it as an Hammond emulator on stage.
As Raspbian version of setBfree is quite old (0.7.5), and new versions seems to "sounds better" (I am wrong ?) I wanted to compile a new version on the Pi(3).

Steps to reproduce:

aptitude install libasound2-dev lv2-dev libglu1-mesa-dev ttf-bitstream-vera libjack-jackd2-dev libftgl-dev
git clone [email protected]:pantherb/setBfree.git
cd setBfree
make OPTIMIZATIONS=-O2
./src/setBfree

The result is :

init.. Audio : Oscillators : Scanner : Overdrive : Reverb : Whirl : setBfree: ../b_whirl/whirl.c:539: 
computeOffsets: Assertion `maxhn + w->hornSpacing[i] < ((unsigned int) (1 << 10))' failed.
Aborted

Did I missed something ? The problem seems to be in the Leslie simulation module. It's annoying, this is quite important for the sound !

Do you have any ideas ? Thanks !

• add a switch for mono pickup of drum

Compilation fails with make -j9 .

Error : g++: erreur: tonegen.o: no such file or directory

With make only, it compiles.

You should add to the documentation that parallel compilation is not supported , at least, or really fix the problem.

I've not managed to compile the gui for reasons. I'd like to gig this on a laptop and not have to shell out for MIDI control surfaces but as far as I can see the GUI requires mouse control to move the drawbars (I might be wrong).
wouldn't it be easier if laptop keys were mapped to the upper manual drawbars

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9    <--- Drawbar-number
Q W E R T Y U I O    <--- fader pipe down (push drawbar in)
A S D F G H J K L    <--- fade pipe up (pull drawbar out)

and maybe keys z x c v being mapped to Reverb, Brightness, perc 4' perc 2 2/3 and other things like presets or something (number keys?).

Or is there another jack/alsamidi program I could use to do this?

Hi! After installing, everything works, but the rotary sound is weak.

I've tried the default settings, the default.cfg file that came with the package with the options set to read it, uncommented the whirl parameters as they were, and modifying some of them, but can't get much satisfaction. I didn't specify the zitaconvolver option in the make process, but the libzitaconvolver is there. I didn't supply any IR files yet, as I didn't think the convolver was in play, although the status at the top of the setBfree screen did mention IR I believe. Would the problem have anything to do with my system being 64-bit? Or did I make some other mistake in the install process? It definitely doesn't sound like the supplied demo. If more info is needed, please let me know. I'm not extremely experienced in making and installing, but I do try to follow instructions. Thanks for your help.

Kevin

Hello,

I try to install setBfree with make OPTIMIZATIONS=-O2 (after having installed the mandatory libraries), but the compilation is very long (10-15 min) and it fails at the end :

make: *** [ui] Error 2

I have to precise that setBfree was working after a first attempt to install it. Someone helped me to install it. The only problem he met was the missing "sse2" message in common.mak. It was solved by commenting it.
I wanted to re-compile it after a modification in tonegene.c (inverting values for drawbars).

Could you help me please?

PS : Many thanks to those who keep this beautiful project alive :-) !! 👍

Hi @x42

I read your comment to #54 that setting FONTFILE=verabd.h should include the font into the GUI applications.

However, this doesn't hold true for the main GUI application, which even in case of FONTFILE=verabd.h tries to load the font from the default path given in common.mak.

This is a problem if, like on ArchLinux, the standard font path is different from the standard Debian path that is given in common.mak.

Would it be possible to allow embedding the font in every GUI application with FONTFILE=verabd.h?
Or else, could you suggest the "right way" how to both embed the font in the LV2 plugin and use another path to your system font?

is there any planes for the fallowing

1 win mac Linux standalone

2 pre built vst au lv2 plugins

When I'm saving a preset in SetBFree UI it dosn't save the setting for Overdrive switch. All the perc button settings are saved fine, and Overdrive can be set in the pgm file after the save but it wont do it itself.

I'm using the setBfree in the zynthian project (http://zynthian.org). The system is Raspbian Jessie and this is the script used to compile and install:

git clone https://github.com/pantherb/setBfree.git
cd setBfree
sed -i -- "s/-msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse/$CFLAGS/g" common.mak
sed -i -- 's/^lv2dir = \$(PREFIX)\/lib\/lv2/lv2dir = \/zynthian\/zynthian-plugins\/lv2/' common.mak
make -j 4
make install

where:

CFLAGS=-mcpu=cortex-a7 -mthumb -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard -mvectorize-with-neon-quad -funsafe-loop-optimizations -funsafe-math-optimizations

I've tested with different optimizations, or without optimizations at all, but the result is always the same, rotary slow speed doesn't work at all. It sounds exactly the same than stopped.

I've tried with rotary.speed-preset (assigned to MIDI-CC 91 by default), and "choracle" sounds the same than stopped. Also with rotary.speed-select (assigned to MIDI-CC 65 in my config file) and other "configurations" where horn or drum should sound slow, it sound stopped.

Fast speed works perfectly for horn & drum, and also acceleration/deccelaration.

Thanks!

in src/tonegen.c the envAtkClkMinLength and envAtkClkMaxLength parameters should be scaled according to sample-rate during initialization.

currently they're hardcoded for 44.1kHz

Hi,

I have a new MIDI controller, a KORG nanoKEY2. The controller works fine with ZynAddSubFX. The controller does not show up in the QjackCtl ALSA tab with setBfree.

I dragged the setBfree icon to my text editor. I see the following
information:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=setBfree
GenericName=DSP tonewheel organ
Comment=MIDI-controlled, software synthesizer using JACK
Icon=setBfree
Exec=setBfree-start
Terminal=false
Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;

I am guessing the setBfree icon I am clicking on is not firing up setBfree with the necessary parameters, to see the nanoKEY2 on the ALSA tab in QjackCtl. Is this hypothesis correct? If so, can you please provide the syntax I need to run from the command line, so setBfree can see the nanoKEY2, so I can use the nanoKEY2 to play setBfree? setBfree --help from the command line certainly provides loads of information, but it is not clear to me what syntax I need to run.

Thank You,
SHD

The transfer function parameters are hardcoded to assume 22.05kHz

reproduce: load LV2-whirl onto two tracks in Ardour3 and enable them at the same time -> noise

create a .pkg
-- easy, but low priority since there are not many LV2-hosts and LV2 users on OSX yet.

Hi all! Is the pedal division only supposed to play over a 20 note range? It should at least be a full 25 notes, to match the original, if not 32, which would match some of the unusual models, if possible. Thanks much.

allow to configure the break, deceleration speed as well as stop-position (see b_whirl/whirl.c:1102)

rework src/midi.c. Break-out:

• hardware I/O (ALSA-Sequencer, JACK-MIDI)
• move/merge internal API to tonegen.c
• separate key-mapping, manual splitting

expose effects as x-platform VST, synth as VSTi.

probably only after GUI #3 rewrite -- strictly speaking a GUI is not really necessary, but VST users are spoiled by look&feel :)

This basically boils down to creating .cfg files with

midi.controller.{upper|lower|pedal}.<CC>=<function>

parameters for commonly used MIDI controllers.

It would also be nice to have a website or mechanism to easily share .cfg files and presets.

Allow to resume with current settings.

• create snapshot of running config incl port-connections
• write current config and program table to file (Note: programs can't change but the referenced program-file may)
• JACK session support
• NSM session support ?

Provide an easy way to [re]assign MIDI controller mappings.

e.g. GUI matrix display or click+learn functionality.
see also #5 (CC-presets), #4 (midi cleanup) and #3 (GUI).

When I try to build the gui it fails with
Makefile:17: "GUI will not be built"
Makefile:18: "either openGL/GLU is not available - install glu-dev, ftgl-dev"
Makefile:19: "or /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/VeraBd.ttf cannot be found"

In Fedora (21) it is /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/VeraBd.ttf provided by the bitstream-vera-sans-fonts package

Right,, the current GUI was never meant to be included in the release but it ended up being too handy to be excluded. This issue is intended to document its shortcomings and plan a proper front-end.

Known issues:

• the state of the GUI does not reflect the actual state of the synth-engine. It's a one way communication. In particular loading MIDI-programs from the GUI will not update the state that the program sets.
• the --advanced-mode which allows to send raw MIDI-CC is undocumented and not really usable - a short-term solution to send MIDI-CCs will come in handy
• the MIDI-programs are hardcoded and do not reflect any programs loaded with setBfree -p option.

Whishlist:

• the new GUI should be able to run standalone and as well be usable in the synth-Plugins (LV2, VSTi,..)
• the standalone version should have the look&feel of a B3 and include the piano-manual
• the plugin version should probably be limited to drawbars and switches (no piano)

dh_auto_clean is calling make distclean but there is no distclean routine in the Makefile. Had to add an (empty) override_dh_auto_clean to the rules file. Tried it first with $(MAKE) clean as the override command but that didn't work:

make[3]: Entering directory /home/music/PPA/setbfree/setBfree/src'
Makefile:40: *** "JACK is required - install libjack-dev or libjack-jackd2-dev". Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory /home/music/PPA/setbfree/setBfree/src' make[2]: *** [src] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory /home/music/PPA/setbfree/setBfree'

This looks like a great project. Very interested, but no luck compiling. It completes the "make" section and fails on "sudo make install" command.

Am I doing something wrong? I've collected all of the dependencies and tried versions 0.7.5 and 0.7.4.

Would love to play with this...

Thanks in Advance - Graham

Here's the error information:

Near the end of the zeroBuffers function, there are four pointless calls to memset to
init buffers HLbuf, HRbuf, DLbuf, DRbuf.

memset(w->HLbuf, 0, WHIRL_BUF_SIZE_SAMPLES);
memset(w->HRbuf, 0, WHIRL_BUF_SIZE_SAMPLES);
memset(w->DLbuf, 0, WHIRL_BUF_SIZE_SAMPLES);
memset(w->DRbuf, 0, WHIRL_BUF_SIZE_SAMPLES);

Suggest remove.

Hi again.
Still trying to get a full MIDI feedback with command line version, I came across some little things that you maybe would to be aware of. Here is one of those things:

Contrary to all percussion switches that all send 0 or 127 values, the two vibrato buttons sent values are "linked": the value sent by one depends of the actual value of the other:

Is there any reason for that ?

Expected values:

Thanks
