Does anyone know of software that can generate MIDI messages from a touchpad?
The idea would be to send CCs to a sequencer or soft synth, but being able to
send it to an external hardware device would also be very useful.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
This is Steinway_IMIS soundfont, version 2.2.
ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/sf2/Steinway_IMIS2.2
This version fixes the issue with loops. I hope this is the good one
and there are no more remaining major bugs.
Marcos is a little busy right now, so he asked me to make this fix. He
is thinking to make other improvements, so expect more updates soon.
Is anybody out here in LAU land have experience with PISound?

I have just bought one and am having quite sever teething problems with it.
It keeps freezing for ~45 seconds when running X and I cannot get it to
use the full display.

Dear list,
I recently bought a LinnStrument from Roger Linn Design:
http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/linnstrument.html
It is a great isomorphic midi-controller, and as such it is immediately
recognized on Linux.
The distinguishing feature of the LinnStrument is that it senses 3
degrees of freedom on each note: x-direction, y direction and
z-direction (pressure). The x-direction is mapped to pitch-bend, and
y-direction to CC74.
A cool feature is the "slide", where the pitch-bend is used to slide
between all notes in a row.
To allow individual pitch and CC74 values for each note, it sends each
note on a separate midi-channel ("MPE"):
http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/implementing-mpe.html
Bitwig has added support for this, and there is 20 presets in version
1.3.11, where this is used (tag: linnstrument). The LinnStrument
controller is not recognized automatically on Linux in version 1.3.11,
but it can be configured manually, and then it works fine. Note that
both midi-in and midi-out has to be configured, if not there is no
sound! It should look like this: https://ibin.co/2msBJVgpKtf9.png
Now I would like to also use it with the free Linux synths.
Here's what I have been able to make work this far.
Synthv1:
PME works reasonably well: I can play polyphonic in MPE mode, but it
tends to miss the "note off"s.
I can get the slide to work, by setting
<param index="36" name="DEF1_PITCHBEND">2</param>
<param index="78" name="DEF2_PITCHBEND">2</param>
is a preset.
Zynaddsubfx:
I can not get MPE to work.
Sending only on one channel, and setting PWheelB.Rng to 2400 cents, I
cant get the sliding to work, but only when playing with one finger.
If I enable MPE on the LinnStrument there is only an occasional sound,
when it happens to send on the channel, that Zyn is listening on.
I'll love to hear if other LinnStrument users have been able to do more
with any of the free synths on Linux.
All the best,
Thomas
Does anyone know of mutterings about a possible LAC2022?
I'm suffering severe withdrawal symptoms here :(

Hi,
I am currently giving linux-show-player a try but the following problem
might happen with other software as well.
In linux-show-player audio files can be played back from a cue list.
Each cue is implemented as a separate jack client. I am having the
problem that starting a cue, while another one is already playing, is
causing an audible drop out in the audio processing. When running the
software under alsa, this does not seem to happen. I suspect that
creating and connecting new jack clients causes this to happen. No xruns
happen though. I can not reproduce this exactly, although it happens at
about 30% of cue starts. Increasing jackd's buffer size does not help so
far. How can I go about to debug this further?
Thank you!
Peter

Hi all.
I'm hoping you can shed some light on a problem I have with a DJ
controller (Vestax VCI-100MKII) that's also a soundcard. My problem is
that when I connect it, it keeps disconnecting.
I've tested this on two laptops, both running Ubuntu 20.04. One a bit
older and newer one that only has USB-C, so on the newer one I connect
the controller via a USB hub.
syslog on the older laptop:

Any idea on what is going wrong? I'm coming up empty with my google
