Overview

Stargate

Stargate is a holistic audio production solution, everything you need to make music on a computer. To understand what Stargate is, and why, read the project design principles.

Links

Features

  • A digital audio workstation (DAW) with a powerful pattern-based workflow
  • A comprehensive suite of built-in instrument and effect plugins
  • A basic wave editor
  • Broad audio and MIDI hardware support using Portaudio and Portmidi
  • Runs on Windows and Linux, x86 and ARM. Will be ported to Mac OS X (and any other platform) if there is sufficient demand
  • Everything you need to create music in a single package, no need to install additional software
  • Revolutionary CPU efficiency for DAW and plugins, minimum recommended hardware: Raspberry Pi 4, or a 15 year old laptop with a dual core CPU, 1GB of RAM and a 720p display.
  • Support for display resolution from 720p to 4k and above.

  • More standardized, internetless build and better build instructions

    More standardized, internetless build and better build instructions

    Hello,

    I am a packager on openSUSE and wanted to make a package for stargate. Builds on OBS (Open Build Service, the build system used by openSUSE) happen in a virtual machine unconnected to the Internet so the fact that make tries to download some packages from PyPi is problematic.

    I tried building stargate via the make command but it tried to run pip and install some packages from the Internet, which as I said is not allowed on OBS.

    Nevertheless, I proceeded with the build on my local system. It compiled correctly and make install worked but the stargate executable failed twice - first when mido was missing, second (after having installed mido) when sglib was missing. I had manually run python3 setup.py install --user to install the Python package in the src directory but that apparently did not provide sglib.

    My suggestions:

    • Indicate all dependencies at both build-time and runtime (like portaudio, portmidi, pymarshal, wavefile, mido) in the build instructions
    • Make sure that make does not connect to the Internet, especially if Python dependencies are found on the system
    • Make sure that make install installs everything needed to run stargate, including the Python package containing sglib which should respect the distro's hierarchy (openSUSE also uses lib64, see #14). Also, make install tried to execute the (non-existing on my system) /mingw64/bin/jq program (if it's the jq program for querying JSON, I have it installed in /usr/bin/jq)

    I build stargate on Fedora 33 64 bits from the release downloaded on github. make build works fine make PREFIX=/opt/stargate install doesn't install sglib (and maybe other python libs) into /opt/stargate/lib* (lib64 on 64 bits linux).

  • Strange saving of recorded samples (Win10)

    Strange saving of recorded samples (Win10)

    Hello, I decided to try and test this new DAW (on Win10 currently).

    First I have tried sample recording. It is actually worked, but it saved sample (from microphone) in a bit strange way. The file actually appeared in two locations.

    First one in the audio/rec in project's directory, C:\Users\DreadDendy\stargate\projects\testProject\audio\rec\test_sample-1-1.wav

    The path to the second one is really weird. Seems like it once again used path to project's directory, C:\Users\DreadDendy\stargate\projects\testProject\audio\samples\C\Users\DreadDendy\stargate\projects\testProject\audio\rec\test_sample-1-1.wav

    Both the deb files have dependency issues

    Hi there. I'm using Pop OS which is base on Ubuntu 20.04. But for whatever reason, there are dependency issues. Could you please look into this? And if it's not fixable, could you please put out a flatpak? That might actually be a better solution than having to package rpm and deb files each time there's a new release. And btw. Please provide better documentation for source compiling. I tried compiling from source, but there's no cmake, and using "make" gave me "error 2".

    EDIT: The problem dependencies seem to be fftw3, python3-pyqt6.qtsvg, python3-pyqt6. None of them exist.

  • Hang after creating new session with

    Hang after creating new session with "already running with pid ..." message

    Describe the bug After starting stargate and choosing "New", a dialogue appears in front of the splash screen claiming: "Detected: Stargate is already running with pid ...". There is only one instance running: the one that's just been started, but at this point, it's hung. "OK" in the dialogue does nothing. The project directory has been created, but it is empty.

    This occurs with current git main branch: I don't know whether it has ever worked in the past.

    To Reproduce In the Stargate source directory, run scripts/stargate, and click the "New" button.

    Expected behavior A new session should be rreated.

  • Restore PR #20 as the build error is now fixed

    Restore PR #20 as the build error is now fixed

    The commit 85c3f51b74ef1c8f7c91fd7b5b1fade911e770b8 ("Allow building and installing without any vendored dependencies") resulted in Makefile's py_vendor target failing when one of pip install exited with an error. However, pip install was already returning errors. The target all depended on py_vendor, and this ended up failing the build.

    The commit c93792e3cefe53507a387e0f6102e79676e568e3 ("Makefile: More modular targets") removed the py_vendor as build dependency. Now the automated build is working again.

  • Linux: Random popup window positions on Wayland

    Linux: Random popup window positions on Wayland

    This is a feature of Wayland.

    I implemented the workaround for this, but at some point it stopped working in Qt5, but it still works in Qt6. The only thing preventing me from migrating fully to PyQt6 is that most Linux distros are not packaging it yet.

    As a workaround, you can run this command, and Stargate will automatically find it and do the right thing:

    pip install PyQt6

  • Running on arm64 (Pinebook Pro)

    Running on arm64 (Pinebook Pro)

    The program does not run when built on a Pinebook Pro. There are a variety of possible causes: it could be a lack of support and/or testing, a missing dependency I could not find, or something else, and I am not knowledgeable enough to figure out which it is. The program appears to build successfully, even when some dependencies were missing. However, when I try to run it, it gives an error regarding pyqt5 (more information in log file). When I tried to use the Fedora script to find out what packages I needed to install, I installed as many of the dependencies as I could find in the Arch Linux ARM repository, but the same issue occurred. If this is a support issue, I would greatly appreciate if arm64 became a supported platform for Stargate. Pine64 devices are pitifully weak but portable and efficient Linux machines, and I think Stargate would be a perfect fit for them (if it wouldn't be too much trouble to maintain).

    My example is for using a microphone, but with the instruments there will be no differences. Steps to reproduce:

    1. Start recording audio, say something to the microphone
    2. Stop recording and discard saving
    3. Start recording audio again, say somehing different to the microphone
    4. Stop recording and save sample
    5. Check the sample and see that it is actually the sample from step 1

    When you stop playback, the playhead is returned to the start of the song instead of resuming playback where you stopped, which is how I'd prefer it to operate. There would then need to be an extra transport button to return the playhead to the start and a keyboard shortcut to do that such as backspace or alternatively maybe a modifier and shift could be used to stop and return the playhead to the start.

    Sampler1: Various issues with .SFZ files

    Problem: SFZ files are not any kind of standard data DSL like JSON, YAML, XML... As such, there are no standard parsing libraries for Python (that I am aware of), so I am using a crude parser I wrote years ago. The full SFZ spec is very complex, and Stargate DAW does not currently support all of the features.

    If you have problems loading SFZ files, please send me the SFZ file (not the samples, just the .sfz file(s) used by your instrument), and ideally your logs in ~/stargate/log/* so that I can debug the issue and add your SFZ file to the conformance tests.
