[LAD] A question for USB/MIDI experts

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, Sadly I won't be able to make it to the miniLAC as work keeps me in München during the weekend :-( For those who'll be there, have a good time ! Meanwhile I'm trying to understand the following: I'm using a Novation LaunchControl (8 pads and 16 rotary controllers). When I use it via ALSA sequencer, I get the expected MIDI events: note on/off, controller, and sysex. When I access it directly as a USB device using libusb, I see the expected MIDI data, but with some extra bytes, e.g. (all values in hex): [09] 90 09 7f (note on) [08] 80 09 00 (note off) [0b] b0 15 23 (controller) [04] f0 00 20 [04] 29 02 0A [07] 77 00 ff (sysex) where the bytes in [] are the ones that are *not* part of the MIDI message. Now since things work perfectly with ALSA sequencer without required a specific driver, either * ALSA knowns about the details of this particular device, * or these extra bytes are part of some standard. Given that there seems to be one extra byte for every three expected ones, could it be that this is some format that encodes 24 bits in 32 ? lsusb output for this device is: Bus 003 Device 004: ID 1235:0034 Focusrite-Novation Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.10 bDeviceClass 0 bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 64 idVendor 0x1235 Focusrite-Novation idProduct 0x0034 bcdDevice 0.00 iManufacturer 1 Focusrite A.E.

[LAD] [ANN] Qtractor 0.7.6 - A Hazier Photon is released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hey, Spring'16 release frenzy [7] isn't over as of just yet ;) Keeping up with the tradition, Qtractor 0.7.6 (a hazier photon) is released! Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

[LAD] Instant DPF effect plugins

by Christopher Arndt

Hi all, I have created a template to set up a DISTRHO Plugin Framework effect plugin project quickly using the (Python) tool cookiecutter. https://github.com/SpotlightKid/cookiecutter-dpf-effect When you have installed cookiecutter, you create a new project with: cookiecutter https://github.com/SpotlightKid/cookiecutter-dpf-effect A directory named after the value you gave for repo_name (e.g. "simplegain") will be created and initialized as a git repository and DPF added as a git submodule. Enter the directory and run make: cd <repo_name> make The template compiles a simple gain plugin. Change the implementation in plugins/<plugin_name>/Plugin<plugin_name>.cpp as needed. Share & Enjoy!

[LAD] Musikmesse

by Gianfranco Ceccolini

Hi everyone As some of you might know, part of the MOD Team is going to be at the Musikmesse from April 7th to 10th. Unfortunately it clashes with the miniLAC so, differently from last year’s LAC, we won’t be present at the Conference with the entire team as we did last year. For those who won’t be able to attend the miniLAC but can get a day trip, we have available some courtesy visitor one-day-passes to the Musikmesse. They are valid in any of the days form 7th to 10th. If anyone is interested just let us know and we’ll manage a way to hand them over. Best Gianfranco Ceccolini MOD Devices +49 160 646 9313 gianfranco(a)moddevices.com

[LAD] Embeded trackers

by olivier

Hi everyone, I'm looking to display a tracker item in another tracker listing. eg, I have a "user" tracker named "customers", it contains phone numbers for each user. Each user can create items in another tracker named "announcements". Both trackers have a "user" field. Now I am using the plugin trackerlist to display an announcement, but for each of them, how can I display the related "customer" tracker item ? I was thinking of passing the "user" variable to another trackerlist plugin as the "filtervalue" option, but can't seem to find a way. I would be gratefull for any help accomplishing this! olivier
