== Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tembro (which is Esperanto for musical "Timbre") is a virtual software instrument based on
|
|
samples. All instruments are permanently built-in, there is no option to load your own files.
|
|
New instruments are only added with new releases, old ones are never removed.
|
|
|
|
That makes Tembro reliable, predictable, portable and compatible.
|
|
All projects and all users have the same "instrument" with the same instrument sounds,
|
|
numbering system, midi controls… ; a solid basis for communication and collaboration.
|
|
|

|
|
== Installation and Start
|
|
|
|
Tembro is exclusive for Linux. The best way to install is to use your package manager.
|
|
If it is not there, or only in an outdated version, please ask your Linux distribution to provide a recent version.
|
|
|
|
If available in the package repository, please continue reading directly at "Start tembro from Agordejo / New Session Manager".
|
|
If not, you can build Tembro yourself.
|
|
|
|
.Build and Install
|
|
* Please check the supplied README.md for dependencies.
|
|
* You can download a release or clone the git version
|
|
** Download the latest version from https://www.laborejo.org/downloads and extract it.
|
|
** git clone https://git.laborejo.org/lss/tembro.git
|
|
* Change into the new directory and use these commands:
|
|
* `./configure --prefix=/usr`
|
|
** The default prefix is /usr/local
|
|
* `make`
|
|
* `sudo make install`
|
|
|
|
.Start tembro from Agordejo (New Session Manager, NSM)
|
|
* Run `agordejo`
|
|
* Press the `New` button, and enter a name for your piece of music.
|
|
* Use the launcher to add `tembro` to the session.
|
|
* Add any compatible programs, e.g. synthesizers.
|
|
|
|
Please read README.md for other ways of starting tembro, which are impractical for actual use but can
|
|
be helpful for testing and development.
|
|
|
|
== Help and Development
|
|
You can help Tembro in several ways: Testing and reporting errors, translating, marketing, support, programming and more.
|
|
|
|
=== Testing and Reporting Errors
|
|
If you find a bug in the program (or it runs too slow) please contact us in a way that suits you best.
|
|
We are thankful for any help.
|
|
|
|
.How to contact us
|
|
* Report bugs and issues: https://www.laborejo.org/bugs
|
|
* Website: https://www.laborejo.org
|
|
* E-Mail: info@laborejo.org
|
|
* If you see the opportunity and know that a developer will read it also forums, social media etc..
|
|
|
|
=== Programming
|
|
If you want to do some programming and don't know where to start please get in contact with us directly.
|
|
The short version is: clone the git, change the code, create a git patch or point me to your public git.
|
|
|
|
=== Translations
|
|
Tembro is very easy to translate with the help of the Qt-Toolchain, without any need for programming.
|
|
The easiest way is to contact the developers and they will setup the new language.
|
|
|
|
However, here are the complete instructions for doing a translation completely on your own and integrating it into the program.
|
|
The program is split in two parts. A shared "template" between the Laborejo Software Suite and the actual program.
|
|
|
|
The process is the same for both parts, but needs to be done in different directories:
|
|
`template/qtgui` and plain `/qtgui`, relative to the root directory, where the tembro executable is.
|
|
|
|
Everytime you see "template/qtgui" below you can substitute that with just "qtgui" to translate the other part of Tembro.
|
|
|
|
You can add a new language like this:
|
|
|
|
* Open a terminal and navigate to template/qtgui/resources/translations
|
|
* Edit the file `config.pro` with a text editor
|
|
** Append the name of your language in the last line, in the form `XY.ts`, where XY is the language code.
|
|
** Make sure to leave a space between the individual languages entries.
|
|
* Run `sh update.sh` in the same directory
|
|
** The program has now generated a new `.ts` file in the same directory.
|
|
* Start Qt Linguist with `linguist-qt5` (may be named differently) and open your newly generated file
|
|
* Select your "Target Language" and use the program to create a translation
|
|
* Send us the `.ts` file, such as by e-mail to info@laborejo.org
|
|
|
|
You can also incorporate the translation into Tembro for testing purposes. This requires rudimentary Python knowledge.
|
|
|
|
* Run the "Release" option in QtLinguists "File" menu. It creates a `.qm` file in the same directory as your `.ts` file.
|
|
* Edit `template/qtgui/resources/resources.qrc` and duplicate the line `<file>translations/de.qm</file>` but change it to your new .qm file.
|
|
* run `sh buildresources.sh`
|
|
* Edit `engine/config.py`: add your language to the line that begins with "supportedLanguages" like this: `{"German": "de.qm", "Esperanto: "eo.qm"}`
|
|
** To find out your language string (German, Esperanto etc.) open the `python3` interpreter in a terminal and run the following command:
|
|
** `from PyQt5 import QtCore;QtCore.QLocale().languageToString(QtCore.QLocale().language())`
|
|
|
|
To test the new translation you can either run the program normally, if your system is set to that language. Alternatively start tembro via the terminal:
|
|
|
|
* `LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 ./tembro -V --save /dev/null`
