flipcoder / textbeat Goto Github PK

Spent the weekend figuring out the ALSA, pulseaudio, Jack, fluidsynth, qsynth settings and it finally works. I finally can hear a major chord.

I normally don't do music on Linux but have been dreaming of something like that for a long time. Will soon try out the vim plugin. Thank you for making this come true!

I was trying to get this running on a macbook. I've made some progress, roughly based on the linux instructions. I've managed to get it working, but there's currently no sound. I'd troubleshoot this further so I could provide a PR with the instructions, but i'm not really sure how to interpret what i'm seeing. Unfortunately, i'm also not much of an export on Macs. Of course, feel free to close this if you don't intend on supporting mac.

Initially, textbeat wouldn't launch at all, because it couldn't find any midi devices. After adding one manually, it did launch, but now there's no sound. The output looks like this:

i'm assuming that something useful can be gleaned from the modules output, but i'm not really sure what to make of it at the moment

Calling textbeat with no arguments produced the following traceback. A quick glance at the collections API suggests that the attribute is under collections.abc.Mapping; could this be the cause?

@flipcoder Hi, didn't find a way to contact you, so I abused the issue tracker.
I just found this project and I wanted to let you know that its really great. Actually friends and I wrote a similar thing a few years ago for at a hackday. We needed a text based sequencer format so that we can use git to diff the patterns and use a push controller to checkout different versions of the song. The sequencer is [here](https://github.com/RocketScienceAbteilung/git-wig and here is a demo song that shows our quite simple text format. Textbeat seems to be quite more advanced. But maybe you like the idea of semantically meaningful diff between to patterns/parts of a track.

Hi, I'm trying to install textbeat on my system and after running
sudo python setup.py install and trying to launch textbeat, i get
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/textbeat", line 11, in <module> load_entry_point('textbeat==0.1.0', 'console_scripts', 'textbeat')() File "/home/hans/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/textbeat/__main__.py", line 62, in main from . import support File "/home/hans/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/textbeat/support.py", line 20, in <module> import textbeat.plugins as tbp ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'textbeat.plugins'
Any ideas?
