Seq66 Basic Tutorial Frequently Asked Questions
This section tries to anticipate the most common problems that can occur with Seq66 under the various setups and operating systems.
When Seq66 runs, it gives port errors or does not show all ports. When Seq66 starts for the first time (i.e. no configuration files yet exist), it scans the system for existing ports. On Windows, it disabled ports that are already grabbed by the Windows MIDI Mapper. If later devices are removed or added to the system, the user has the option of rebuilding the port maps by going to Edit / Preferences / MIDI Clock and clicking the Make Maps button. Then restart Seq66 and make sure of the desired set of ports. (One can also edit the 'rc' file manually while Seq66 is not running.) Clicking on the Edit / Preferences / MIDI Clock tab does not work. It actually does work, but in some themes one has to click in the exact right spot. Why? Don't know. Another option is to use `Alt-C` to move to that tab. Undo/redo does not work consistently. While Seq66 makes great improvements on the management of modifications, there are currently still issues with some modifications. Make a bug report and we'll see if the particular issue can be fixed. |
