Looking forward to the release of the source code so I can fork it to a new community version called BanjoBand.

Konfyt (https://github.com/noedigcode/konfyt) does part of what Cantabile and Gig Performer does - easily set up patches and switch between them for live keyboard playing. It does not have audio/midi backing tracks or plugin hosting capabilities, however. For that, you can hook it up to Carla (host ...

Can't believe I didn't think of it first, but the most straight forward way to load sf2 files in Reaper at the moment would probably be with Carla. Add a carla-rack plugin on your track. Inside Carla, browse to your sf2 file and add it to the rack. Another sf2/Fluidsynth plugin option is Calf Fluids...

I found the following options (haven't tried any myself) of plugins loading sf2 files, which should be usable in Reaper.
Unfortunately they all need to be compiled.

Those are good tools to have in your toolbox, but it doesn't look like they can solve this issue. A memory of each CC must be kept, and when receiving a 65, it must increase the stored value and output it. When receiving a 1, it must decrease the stored value and output it. The output must be limite...

It is possible with mididings if you're okay with some scripting.

I would post an example, but I just discovered that it's not in the Ubuntu repositories anymore and there's a few snags to get it to build.

The external applications section is actually not limited to the options in the dropdown list. Those are just there for convenience. You can type any application and arguments into the text box. But, you are not wrong, NSM would probably be a good addition. The only reason it's not implemented thoug...

Konfyt 1.1.5 has been released! Changelog: Added - Ignore global transpose option in layer MIDI filter - Ignore global volume option for buses (checkbox on Ports and Buses screen) The source code and precompiled binaries are available on Github: https://github.com/noedigcode/konfyt Konfyt is a digit...

QJackCtl shows the Arturia as an ALSA device, not a JACK device (see the "ALSA" logo on the device in QJackCtl). Try either the JACK route: 1. Ensure Reaper is set up to use JACK MIDI (under Audio/Device I think?). I think it is set to use JACK MIDI in your screenshot. 2. Then Enable one o...

I can confirm that this bug happens on my system as well. Unfortunately I do not have a workaround.

Like you said, the preset slots simply aren't cleared on preset changes.

Konfyt 1.1.4 has been released! Konfyt is a digital keyboard workstation for Linux which allows you to set up patches, each with multiple layers, and instantly switch between these patches for live keyboard playing. Patches may consist of multiple layers of soundfonts (.sf2), SFZ instruments, audio ...

Konfyt 1.1.3 has been released! Konfyt is a digital keyboard workstation for Linux which allows you to set up patches, each with multiple layers, and instantly switch between these patches for live keyboard playing. Patches may consist of multiple layers of soundfonts (.sf2), SFZ instruments, audio ...

Thanks, those are good suggestions.

a) Fader pickup - very good idea. Will probably only be able to add this a bit later.

b) Move layers up/down - this is now implemented on the testing branch on Github, so you can try it out if you want or wait for the official release (hopefully) later this month.

I found another way using OSC. See Carla's supported OSC commands by going to Help -> About, OSC tab. For example, if you have the ZynAddSubFx LV2 plugin as your first plugin, the OSC command required to change the preset is: /Carla/0/set_program 400 where 0 corresponds to the first plugin, and 400 ...

In the Carla plugin properties window, there are program change options: - Map Program Changes: does not send the bank/program messages to the plugin itself, but uses it to change the "MIDI Program" (the combo box at the top). - Send Bank/Program Changes: sends the bank/program messages th...
