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.
