Introduction

+
+
+

New Session Manager (NSM) is a tool to assist music production by grouping standalone programs into sessions. +Your workflow becomes easy to manage, robust and fast by leveraging the full potential of cooperative applications.

+
+
+

It is a community version of the "NON Session Manager" and free in every sense of the word: +free of cost, free to share and use, free of spyware or ads, free-and-open-source.

+
+
+

You can create a session, or project, add programs to it and then use commands to save, start/stop, +hide/show all programs at once, or individually. At a later date you can then re-open the session +and continue where you left off.

+
+
+

All files belonging to the session will be saved in the same directory.

+
+
+

If you are a user (and not a programmer or packager) everything you need is to install NSM +through your distributions package manager and, highly recommended, Argodejo as a GUI (see below).

+
+
+

To learn NSM you don’t need to know the background information from our documentation, which +is aimed at developers that want to implement NSM support in their programs. Learn the GUI, +not the server and protocol.

+
+
+
+
+

Bullet Points

+
+
+
    +
  • +

    Drop-In replacement for the non-session-manager daemon nsmd and tools (e.g. jackpatch)

    +
    • +
  • +

    Simple and hassle-free build system to make packaging easy

    +
    • +
  • +

    Possibility to react to sensible bug fixes that would not have been integrated original nsmd

    +
    • +
  • +

    Stay upwards and downwards compatible with original nsmd

    +
    • +
  • +

    Conservative and hesitant in regards to new features and behaviour-changes, but possible in principle

    +
    • +
  • +

    Keep the session-manager separate from the other NON* tools Mixer, Sequencer and Timeline.

    +
    • +
  • +

    Protect nsmd from vanishing from the internet one day.

    +
    • +
  • +

    The goal is to become the de-facto standard session manager for Linux distributions

    +
    • +
+
+
+
+
+

User Interface

+
+
+

It is highly recommended to use Argodejo ( https://www.laborejo.org/argodejo/ ) as graphical +user interface. In fact, if you install Argodejo in you distribution it will install NSM as +dependency and you don’t need to do anything yourself with this software package.

+
+
+

This repository also contains the legacy FLTK interface simply called nsm-legacy-gui, +symlinked to non-session-manager for backwards compatibility. (e.g. autostart scripts etc.)

+
+
+
+
+

Supported Clients

+
+
+

While NSM can start and stop any program it only becomes convenient if clients specifically +implement support. This enables saving and hiding the GUI, amongst other features. +Documentation and tutorials for software-developers will be added at a later date.
