Re: midish, ecasound and jack

hello,

after some tries, the whole thing seems to behave correctly. Finally i can't go this way with the MTC back to midish because using klick is adding another mechanism, which is not aware of the bar/beats of the original midi file (which could have changing bars during the song).

So the final and i think best idea, is to create a bridge between midish and jack, using code based on the mentioned tools (a2jmidid, jackctlmmc, jack_midi_clock, klick)...
This might be a big work, but i'd prefer one single app to do everything than 5 different processes to manage and script.
As i'm not on a hurry, i prefer to take this golden path ;)

I'll let you know when i have some clear definition of the software, and can start coding.

Perhaps the good news might be, that you could try to steal code from klick (although it's written in c++) and from Gabriel's jack_midi_clock. The latter is written in C, if I remember. It's a very small program, just translating MTC into jack_transport. Perhaps you don't even really need klick code. Maybe you can just use it to see, how tempo and bars and beats are integrated.

Problems: I always had to restart the metronome, since it wouldn't properly relocate. I think these things are only properly dealt with in apps like Rosegarden, latest Ardour versions and the like. But they unfortunately have such huge code bases.
