Re: No midi port in Helm?

In Helm, click on the logo at the top left. It will show a dialog with ALSA MIDI port connections at the bottom.

Re: midi and bitwig and cadence set up problem

i usually run Mixbus at the same time with a faderport 8 which needs the audio bridge Do you mean MIDI bridge? Some things to try: 1.) First start Bitwig, make sure its MIDI-in is working from your nanokey, then start the bridge. This way Bitwig already captured the nanokey and the bridge will like...

Re: midi and bitwig and cadence set up problem

Not sure if it has changed since, but if I recall correctly, last time I used Bitwig, it needed sole access to the ALSA MIDI devices. Thus, do not even start the MIDI bridge (and stop it if it is running). As for the general case, I find no difference between first plugging in the device and then st...

Don't mind discussing it here, but it's probably a bit off topic. Can you please make a bug report and include your OS and Fluidsynth version.

Re: How to "browse" sf2 files quickly and easily?

Great app. Unfortunately, for me it gets jammed pretty often. When changing soundfont or it's patch in preview mode, pretty often whole software stucks. After it nothing works, only way is to close it. I assume it is somehow related to UI handling. Did not run it in debugger yet. Does this happen r...

Re: How to "browse" sf2 files quickly and easily?

This is exactly why I initially started creating my app a few years ago (though by now it does a bit more).

http://www.noedig.co.za/konfyt/

It scans a folder that you specify, adds all the sf2 files and their programs to a library, which you can then browse or search.

Re: A program like iMaschine or the Beatbuddy pedal for linux?

You could try Giada https://www.giadamusic.com/ or Luppp http://openavproductions.com/luppp/ , although I don't think the latter has support for recording/looping MIDI. But you could always just record audio drum loops. Bitwig Studio will also be able to do exactly what you want, but it's not free.

Re: Ardour monitoring question

The track's mixer strip has an "In" button and a "Disk" button. "In" means it monitors what is incoming, while "Disk" means it only monitors what has been recorded. If you enable "Disk", you will not hear the incoming signal while recording, but shou...

Re: Carla crash with too many SFZs loaded

Yes standalone linuxsampler seems stable as far as I can tell. Currently I'm experimenting with loading each SFZ in a separate application instance, and restarting an instance when it crashes. A sort of bridge mode. This keeps the main program instance stable at least and the user just perceives a d...

Re: Carla crash with too many SFZs loaded

falkTX, I notice with the latest version of Carla that loading SFZs is increasingly unstable. It often crashes now, "easier" than before, even when not loading the same SFZ files more than once. Previously, crashes weren't so prevalent, but now I'll get a crash about 80% of the time when l...

Re: MIDI piano + sustain pedal realism

It's interesting that you mention the sustain pedal intricacies, something I haven't been paying attention to really. I can't think of much more for you to try regarding getting the right sound. What I can suggest is a better interface and easy fast access to sf2 soundfonts, gig and sfz files with t...

Re: Carla crash with too many SFZs loaded

I was playing around with this again and noticed that crashes are prone to happen when two or more of the same SFZs are loaded in one Carla (backend) instance. If I load one SFZ and bombard it with notes from VMPK, everything is fine. As soon as I load a second of the same SFZ, it crashes after a sh...

Re: Midi to keystrokes?

You might be able to achieve that using Mididings for processing MIDI, and then some Python module like PyAutoGUI.
