A major reboot of Seq24. Current release 0.97.0 (2021-05-13), native JACK MIDI, Song recording, playlists, and a Windows/Qt version. For fresher code, see the Seq66 project. Note that trigger and mute-group-in-MIDI-file formats have evolved! Back up your work!

refresh button or update of jack connected devices #214

Closed tx0h closed 3 years ago

tx0h commented 3 years ago

hi,

i work with virtual instruments and add them when needed.

actually, sequencer64 doesn't recognized new connected midi sinks, i need to save my work and restart the sequencer to get an updated list. therefor it would be very helpful to have a button to refresh the list of available midi sinks. or a frequently automatic update of the list.

thanks, tx0h

Unfortunately, sequencer64's current structure doesn't allow for refreshing the set of connections. I have a better arrangement, though still not complete, in place in the seq66 project, which is the future of sequencer64. In the meantime, one krufty work-around is to use the --manual-alsa-ports to start sequencer64, and then use something like qjackctl (JACK) or aconnect (ALSA) to make the connections. Sorry for the issue!
