Thanks a lot Malte,
However, I'm still having very strange issues with minicomputer. I copied
the presets to .minicomputer. Now the editor recognizes the presets. When
it gets a program change event it switches the presets, and you can also
switch the presets with the gui, and the settings change. However, I don't
get any sound coming out! I'm running jack, I know I've got the audio
system set up right, because all other programs work with it. I've tried
connecting to *Every* midi port, and connecting *every* output port to my
speakers. Still no sound. I've tried every combination of preset
changes+channel changes, no luck. I've opened up kmidimon to verify it's
getting the right events: it is. I've checked the jack messages to see if
it's being swamped with xruns (it's getting some, but not enough to be a
concern). I tried changing various "mix" or "volume" settings on
the GUI
in combination with all of the above. Still no luck.
However, one time, in the middle of everything, I got sound. I think it was
after I moved the modulation wheel. But then it was stuck with the sound
on. It kept playing notes, but would never stop (it was monophonic). It
was as if it was only getting note on commands. Program changes worked, and
it didn't change anything when I switched between channels. The pitch bend
did nothing, neither did the modulation wheel. I disconnected every port
except for the Mix ports, and it still played audio. So I thought I had it
figured out. I restarted it, and tried to reproduce. I couldn't. The mod
wheel does nothing. Nothing I do does anything. Please help me!

Hi,
I have been doing some more work recently on the
minicomputer port, and
I have a few questions/ problems:
1. I can't get minicomputer to make any sound. I start the CPU and the
gui up fine, connect them to midi in and audio out in qjackctl, and play
something, and there is no sound. Are the default settings supposed to
be silent? If so, what should I change to get some sound?
The default is silent, have you installed the preset sounds and load a
multi and
/ or a preset sound? That should get you started
2. Could you give me a brief explanation of what is controlled by OSC
and what is controlled by MIDI? Also, there are
two different jack MIDI
input ports for the two programs (minicomputer and minicomputerCPU). Do
these work differently? How so?
Please consult the minicomputerManual PDF which should clearify all the
questions. Midi to the minicomputer alsa port is only for programchanges
while to the minicomputerCPU is for midi notes on channel 1 to 8. OSC goes
from the gui to the engine for changing the parameters, the OSC messages are
explained in the manual.
Cheers,
Malte
