![]() Java Sound plugin, relying on the soundbanks, is still available in the form of the “Java Sound Api plugin”. If that's not the problem, this may have useful options/toggles? If it's not Sun Java, the built-in sequencer may be slowing you down. So, check which distribution of Java you have on your machine. Don’t worry, it is not as bad as it sounds. In case you use some other JVM, your only choice is “TuxGuitar Sequencer”. In general, you should use “Real Time Sequencer” because it’s faster, but it needs Java Sound plugin to be enabled, which means it requires Sun Java to be installed. ![]() The TuxGuitar Documentation page on sound has a couple points that may or may not help with your issue:īeside MIDI Port sound options in the Tools→Settings→Sound tab is also MIDI Sequencer options. Could that be at play in TuxGuitar? And if it is can it be turned off? I did not notice this in older editions but to be fair I usually use MuseScore, which plays scores correctly, and then use Tux for TAB in rare cases where I don't want to forget intricate fingering patterns I've worked out.Ĭaveat: I have not used TuxGuitar, I use Guitar Pro and think it's well worth the money. I have heard about a function in Band in a Box called "humanize" that is supposed to introduce random deviations in tempo to mimic what someone thinks a human does when they play. Steady 16th notes seem to be playing as if they are galloping, with occasional n-tuples played fast then a pause. It I thought it was a person performing I'd give them an F. It almost sounds like there's a bug in the programing. Simply put, the s/w does not play what I wrote with a nice steady uniform meter. However, I recently downloaded the most recent version and noticed that when I play what I've typed into the TAB the rhythm is ridiculously off. I would love to see a natively built elf binary, but I realize that would be an insane amount of work.Īnyway, if you are interested in this, send me a pm or reply on here.I've used TuxGuitar for a while now and it's good enough for a free product. Not going to lie, I absolutely *hate* the amount of memory + cpu that java apps use. In some cases, with a small enough screen and lots of tracks, this becomes annoying very fast. *Tux guitar doesn't remember the height of the track listing window at the bottom. Track names on the tracks would help, along with a way to type in a number for volume. *Mixer window is pretty unwieldy and needs cleanup. ![]() (So if you are slowing a song down to learn it, you don't have to change an arbitrary number of tempo settings by hand). *Ability to increase/decrease all tempos in a song by a certain factor. *Ability to mix levels on individual drum instruments (sometimes kick is way too quiet for example) this is probably more of a timidity thing. *"Strum" flag, that sounds like you are doing a quick strum of the notes. *Export to wav + mp3 (for folks that are uncomfortable with using a terminal) *Copying and pasting measures from other files. (eg you have to uncheck a check box every single time, which can cause problems that you don't realize until down the line) *Trying to type a number into the start/stop measure number text box is glitchy. Problem with java perhaps? It is not a good thing when music software can't keep a beat. It works fine when you export to midi and convert to wav with timidity. *There should be a bundled option where you get timitdity + decent soundfonts out of the box. Either it doesn't play nice with other apps, or sound simply doesn't work at all. I have done fresh installs on at least 10 different systems, and there is a problem with the sound in every install. *Ensure that sound works out of the box in Ubuntu. Some of the issues I would like to see worked on: I'm currently have little time for dev work at the moment, but could certainly provide funding myself. *Get some decent hosting + domain name for the site *Find someone who can actively maintain the tuxguitar forums, as least as much as removing the spam *Find someone who can actively maintain tuxguitar with funding from the kickstarter I would like to try and do the following: That said, does anyone currently maintain the software or web site?Ĭurrently the site looks like it is down:Īnd the forums have been full of spam for months now. This program is awesome, and I want to keep it going. First of all, I just want to say many, many thanks to everyone who has worked on Tuxguitar.
