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
