<h1>Patroneo</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Patroneo (which is Esperanto for “Pattern”) is an easy to use pattern based midi sequencer that
|
|
|
|
|
handles the three most important musical parameters: pitch, rhythm and dynamics.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Patroneo is primarily designed for educational purposes, where the main goal is to teach the
|
|
|
|
|
importance of patterns and repetitions in any kind of music. However, Patroneo is a full sequencer
|
|
|
|
|
you can use to create real music. The constraints it presents will more likely boost your
|
|
|
|
|
creativity than suppressing it.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Workflow summary: You have tracks with one pattern each. Turn on steps in the pattern to play
|
|
|
|
|
musical notes. Switch the patterns on and off in a sequence to create a song structure.
|
|
|
|
|
Connect external synthesizers and samplers to create sounds.</p>
|

<p>This README is just a short introduction. Consult the manual (see below) for more information.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>If the latest release is not available through your package manger you can build it yourself:
|
|
|
|
|
Download the latest code release on <a href="https://www.laborejo.org/downloads">https://www.laborejo.org/downloads</a> and extract it.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>Git Version</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
<p>It is possible to clone a git repository.</p>
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><code>git clone --recurse-submodules https://laborejo.org/patroneo.git</code></p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want to update at a later date you must use</p>

<h4>Build Dependencies</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Bash</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Nuitka >= 0.6 (maybe earlier)</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>GCC (development is done on 8.2, but most likely you can use a much earlier version)</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>Environment:</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Jack Audio Connection Kit must be running</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Non Session Manager</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Build</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>./configure --prefix=/usr/local
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Starting through the Non Session Manager after installation (recommended)</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Starting Patroneo through the Non Session Manager after you installed patroneo system-wide
|
|
|
|
|
is the recommended and only supported way. Start non-session-manager and load or create a new
|
|
|
|
|
session. Then use the button “Add Client to Session” and type in patroneo.
|
|
|
|
|
It should appear with an icon in the list and open its GUI.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Starting through NSM without building / installation</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Starting Patroneo through the Non Session Manager is possible without building or installation.
|
|
|
|
|
So you don’t need to call the steps avobe (configure, make, make install)</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The developer uses this way to develop the software, so it will always be stable and supported.
|
|
|
|
|
But it is a bit less performant than building and installing it.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>After extracting the release archive create a symlink from <code>patroneo</code> into your PATH. e.g. /usr/bin
|
|
|
|
|
or ~/bin, if that exists on your system.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This mode needs calfbox to be installed systemwide. Please consult <a href="https://github.com/kfoltman/calfbox">https://github.com/kfoltman/calfbox</a></p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Starting without Non Session Manager</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>You need to start patroneo from a terminal (or create a starter script).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><code>patroneo --save DIRECTORY</code></p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Uses the given directory to save. The dir will be created or loaded from if already present. Use
|
|
|
|
|
the applications file menu to save (Ctrl+s).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>You can use this to load and save the files from an existing NSM session. If you create a new
|
|
|
|
|
directory you can copy it manually to an NSM session directory, but that requires renaming the
|
|
|
|
|
directory to append the unique ID provided by NSM.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Closing through your window manager in this mode will actually quit the application without a
|
|
|
|
|
prompt to save changes.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>It is possible to set /dev/null as save path, or any other nonsense path. The program will start but
|
|
|
|
|
you won’t be able to save.</p>
