Re: Nice article on Flatpak, Snap, AppImage, Docker and Steam

I think the tendency is that after a few years of using Linux, users will end up on a rolling release. All converges to Archlinux with just system packages. That, or you get comfortable and switch to Linux Mint :P Their take on Snap: (See Snap section) https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3906 In Linux Mi...

Re: basic questions about jack and midi

As far as I can tell, you are using the "seq" MIDI Driver setting in QJackCtl. This bridges ALSA and JACK MIDI in the way you experience, with ports not being named automatically. The way I usually do it is to disable the MIDI Driver setting in QJackCtl (set it to "None"). This w...

Re: How to detect which notes are played? (like in Rocksmith/Yousician)

Incidentally I just saw this this morning: https://basicpitch.spotify.com/ Spotify released an open source tool to convert music (audio) to MIDI. I think you can install it with PIP to use in Python. MOD devices also brought out a new plugin to detect which notes are played on a guitar, so you can p...

Re: live kontakt instrument without xruns - pipe dream?

If your system isn't yet tuned for low audio latency, start there first with the advice above or by using a pro audio dedicated distro like AVLinux. You could experiment with a Wine standalone app and as a plugin with the different Wine plugin bridges like yabridge, Carla, etc. Alternatively, you co...

You can try Konfyt: https://github.com/noedigcode/konfyt I created it specifically to easily browse sf2 presets and sfz files and to easily and quickly create and switch between different patches. It's aimed at live keyboard playing, but you could just as well use it with a DAW when creating music i...

Re: M Audio Keystation 49 MK3 No Midi Connection

Some things to try (if you haven't already): - Do you have your Nektar there now? Test it along with the MK3, on the exact same software setup and/or procedure to confirm that a2jmidid does work now for the Nektar (or other USB MIDI gear). - The MK3 manual describes how you can do a factory reset, m...

Ensembles arranger worksation

I happened to stumble upon this. Could be quite interesting to keep an eye on (even if just for GUI inspiration). Ensembles is a realtime musical performance arranger app. Its built using Vala and Gtk, powered by Fluidsynth. Ensembles is different from other DAW (Digital Audio Workstations) in the f...

Konfyt 1.1.7 has been released! Stretching the quarterly release cycle date a little bit. Not a lot new in this update, just a few fixes for bugs which most of the one or two (if any) users out there likely haven't even encountered. Now you won't ever have to.
