Alesis Vortex Wireless keytar controller.

I am considering purchasing an Alesis Vortex Wireless keytar controller. The Alesis Vortex keytar works with Mac and PC and of course should work with Linux. There seems to be a complete lack of independent technical information about this version of the keytar, however there is some for the earlier...

Re: MIDI play along and .flac .m4a slowdown.

Thanks for the information. Is it possible to play audio and MIDI at the same time, with speaker output? The "play along" aspect is important.

MIDI play along and .flac .m4a slowdown.

I have a laptop with Ubuntu Studio 14.04 installed. I have just started taking piano lessons to extend my knowledge about music (I otherwise play saxophone). I have found out how to get my keyboard (M-Audio Keystation 88 MkII) working with QjackCtl and Qsynth. My piano teacher has started sending me...

Re: Homebuilt computer as Linux alternative to Mac Mini (201

It doesn't seem to be possible to increase the size of the music notation and maintain readability. All of the notes end up bunched together, sitting on top of each other.

Re: Homebuilt computer as Linux alternative to Mac Mini (201

I seem to have found a solution. ia32-libs isn't needed at all. I just removed it and then installed the libportaudio0:i386, libportaudio2:i386, and libssl0.9.8:i386 packages. Things seem to be working, but I am not sure if all functionality is available yet. Anyone that has used Guitar Pro 6 for Li...

Re: Homebuilt computer as Linux alternative to Mac Mini (201

Thanks. Unfortunately, Ubuntu 14.04 does not include ia32-libs and the solution of downloading the package mentioned in this thread doesn't work for me.

Re: Homebuilt computer as Linux alternative to Mac Mini (201

Not yet. I hope I am wrong, but many companies seem to support Linux as an afterthought, so I am not expecting much from the outset.

Re: Homebuilt computer as Linux alternative to Mac Mini (201

I have done this because the Linux (Ubuntu) version of Guitar Pro 6 requires an i386 system 64-bit Ubuntu (and debian too) supports multiatch, so you can install 32-bit package on it Thanks. I have been trying to do that with help at this thread: http://forum.peppermintos.com/index.php?topic=291.0 ...

Homebuilt computer as Linux alternative to Mac Mini (2012)

I am a Linux user with a home built computer as my main computer. I have a Mac Mini (2012) that I have been using mainly for Guitar Pro 6, Rocksmith (2014), Garageband and truefire.com guitar tutorials. I decided to get serious and try to setup my home built computer to do some of the same things as...
