Re: [fluid-dev] Help adding Fluidsynth console to Qsynth

[Ceresa Jean-Jacques]

Hi, Liam

 

A way to communicate with Qsynth (like a shell console) is:

1) to run (or add) a  tcp server on the Qsynth side.

2) use telnet (or netcat) as a console terminal to connect to the added server.

 

I don't know if Qsynth can be run with a tcp server option as the fluidsynth terminal application does.

If it isn't the case, by using the right API you can add the code to Qsynt in only 2 steps.

1.1) Create a tcp server somewhere at Qsynth initialization code.

 

fluid_server_t* server = NULL;

...

/* Command handler creation procedure */

/* Intended to be registered in the server at server creation time*/

static fluid_cmd_handler_t* newclient(void* data, char* addr)
{
  fluid_synth_t* synth = (fluid_synth_t*) data;
  return new_fluid_cmd_handler(synth);
}
...

/* Create the server */

/* (Note that settings and synth variables are normally already created by Qsynth

     probably at Qsynth initialization).

*/

 server = new_fluid_server(settings, newclient, synth);
 if (server == NULL)

 

 {
   // Here the API says that the server can't be created!.

   // This a bad new and shouldn't never happen only in a perfect world.

   // The right behavior should be to inform the front user or

   // exit Qsynth with an error code status.

 }

 /* Now the server is running. The user can run any telnet application console

  (an alternative is to use netcat) to connect to the server.

 */

...

1.2) Delete the tcp servet somewhere during Qsynth exit code.

  /* Delete the server */

  if (server != NULL) {

    /* if one want the server killed only when the user type 'quit' in the shell , uncomment */
    //      fluid_server_join(server); /* Synchronize to the distant shell exit */
    delete_fluid_server(server);
  }

I don't know about Qsynth and hope that anyone may help you to localize where you can add theses steps in Qsynth source code.

Regards.

The next task I would like to complete is to add a console for typing commands directly into Fluidsynth, as can be done when running fluidsynth in a terminal.  My programming skills are weak, so it would be much appreciated if someone volunteered to help out with this.
