The important thing for me is the ALSA-MIDI bridge. I saw a video about Aeolus where Catia is used to connect an external MIDI-keyboard to Aeolus, so I installed Catia to do the same with my virtual keyboard. And it worked. But then I tried the same with Carla and it also worked. So I'm wondering if...

I use Carla as a plugin host and rack and also as a tool to make connections between synths, plugins, etc.

No - Carla and Catia. Is there anything you can do with Catia that you cannot do with Carla?

I already use Carla and recently installed Catia too because of its ALSA-MIDI bridge. But it looks like Carla automatically deals with this issue.

So my question is: is there any reason to use Catia when you already use Carla?

After some more attempts I have succeeded in installing Aeolus. Don't know why.

An important point is that you have to start QjackCtl first before starting Aeolus, otherwise Aeolus will do nothing upon clicking on its icon.

Hopefully I will now also get some sounds out of it....

Root password query.

Problem is that after entering my password, the screen asking for my password immediately reappears. It keeps popping up, and the installation is never completed.

I am trying to install Aeolus from the repositories on my Linux Mint 19.2 Tina system by means of the Software Manager, but the installation isn't completed and I am repeatedly asked to authenticate the installation. See:

I will leave it as it is for now. It's not such a big problem anyway, and who knows what problems I get into when I want to use .desktop-files. I'm going to concentrate somewhat more on making music, and less on the ins and outs of Linux.

Just look in /usr/share/applications for examples

Thanks - found some info about that here: https://developer.gnome.org/integration ... es.html.en

I hope there is also a more simple solution...?

To run a certain church organ VST in LMMS I have to start LMMS from the command line. See: http://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=31031 To do that from the desktop I have put a bash file on the desktop that starts LMMS when I doubleclick on it. So that works fine as an alternative launcher. Bu...

Thanks! I have put the following command in the launcher and it works now!

Found it!


It comes with the Nyquist install from the repositories.

Strangely it doesn't work to simply point to it from a launcher on my desktop:


No idea what I'm doing wrong...

Where can I get a Nyquist User Interface or Composition Environment? One can find plenty of pdf's on the internet writing about it, but where can one actually download such a thing?

Upgrade to Linux Mint 19.2 succeeded! We will see how things work out from here...

I am almost ready making my backups. It happens too often lately that I cannot work with interesting audio programs because of my old operating system, so I will do the upgrade probably today.
