On another note: on the http://linuxaudio.org/ page, when you click on Resources, this link: lowlatency.linuxaudio.org Linux Audio Low-Latency Performance How-To points to a very outdated wiki page. Can this be removed? I think a single link to the wiki (already present) is sufficient IMHO. Also, th...

Carla switched possibly because the LinuxSampler licence has some restrictions which does not make it pure GPL. There was also some stability and high memory issues with the LS plugin that Carla was using. You could load it in Carla (the VST, or the SFZ directly) or in another host, like Ardour, QTr...

LinuxSampler actually has more complete SFZ support than SFZero. SFZero has very limited support at the moment. The .so file is possibly a VST (haven't tested it myself). Try putting it in your VST directory, such as ~/.vst (that is, the .vst directory in your home directory) and then scanning for p...

If the SFZ you're using isn't too complicated, you could try converting it to an SF2 soundfont with Polyphone, which you can then easily load with Carla or one of the other Fluidsynth plugins. Even if it reduces some fidelity, it's still a convenient temporary middleground to easily use the samples,...

I second Mididings, it works very well.

QMidiRoute will also help you convert Program Change messages to notes.
Here's a video showing how to set it up with PetriFoo.

Do you have a JACK/ALSA MIDI bridge running? If so, stop it before launching Helm. Helm might need sole access to the ALSA hardware MIDI.

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

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...

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...

Another app for loading soundfonts that was recently announced:

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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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...
