Re: Creating DJ Turntable effects in Blender Game Engine using physics of platter rotation

Interesting approach. I'm not particularly interested or able to help, but I remember a few years ago, one of the long time Mixxx devs, DJ Pegasus (https://github.com/Pegasus-RPG) spent a lot of hours trying to understand the physics behind scratching, with relative success. Instead of reinventing ...

Re: Mini-guide for networking with Jack

Don't know why no one has replied to this as this is a great guide ! Very clearly worded. It got Netjack2 working for me between a Linux and Windows machine. I never got it working following the, frankly, badly written guide on the Jack site ... WalkThrough_User_NetJack2: https://github.com/jackaudi...

Ah, nice. So I just have to built the latest Git to get this ? Do I need any special tags ?

Re: Zynaddsubfx MIDI learn (The taming of the Zyn, Act 1)

Thanks for the confirmation there 8)

Looks like I can use Pure Data to randomise using OSC ...
For example, I often use it in conjunction with a sequencer, randomising all the settings on my soft synths at the push of a button.

USB interface route input to output using Alsa ?

Hi :D, I have an Elextrix EBox44 USB interface. It has 2 line in/phono inputs and two outputs. It cannot route its own inputs to outputs and I've used Jack Audio to do that. However on my slower (and quieter) system Jack in RT mode causes the system to slow down quite a bit. So I wanted to set up Al...

Hi, 1. It does have MIDI learn Where is that? I can't see the "MIDI" button that the VST plugin has, on the GIT version I just built. Although I sometimes have problems seeing things in GUI's due to a disability I have. The git version needs testing/easyish bugfixing before the next releas...

Zynaddsubfx MIDI learn (The taming of the Zyn, Act 1)

Hi, After struggling with Zynaddsubfx (Zyn) in Linux I realised I wanted to take another approach. In the spirit of Ted Nelson I wanted to get my computer to do all the knob fiddling (no more click monkey's here !) and decided to look at scripting the creation of random preset (.xmz) files. Zyn uses...

Re: Giada not working with JACK1

Same problem. Jack ports appear and disappear randomly. Has anyone reported this as a bug ? Can't see it apart from a rather old report. I need to put a report in :)

Re: File Browser Waveform, MIDI and BPM Thumbnails ?

A BPM decimal in the file preview, or info would only be a rough guide. I really want to see this implemented. I'm going to post in the KDE forum to see if I can get a coder interested. One issue that KDE developers have is calling external binaries as I think they see that as a security issue. Howe...

Re: File Browser Waveform, MIDI and BPM Thumbnails ?

It looks like KDE does not support that standard. But I found a project that uses an external binary . I should be able to drop Sox into the code. Sox produces a really nice waveform output ... whatthefuck_sox_waveform_output.png almost instantly work out BPM. it depends on music style The BPM would...

File Browser Waveform, MIDI and BPM Thumbnails ?

I use KDE but this could apply to any window manager. Unless I'm missing something I can't find anything that will do this for KDE. Searched http://kde-apps.org and Google. I have a lot of audio files, music, samples and all sorts of other stuff. MIDI files and so forth. Audio files should show a th...
