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. -- Will J Godfrey https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

qjackctl system tray icon missing dependency on Debian

by Peter P.

Hi list, for anyone wondering why qjackctl 0.9.9-1 on Debain stable (bookworm) does no longer display its icon in the systray after starting: The package libqt6svg6 is required but sadly not a dependecy of the qjackctl package. Rui, thank you for your amazing work, using your tools for more than a decade now! best, Peter

[OT] Portable MP3/mediaplayer (with speech?)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, my old Rockbox enabled MP3-player just broke and I'm looking for a replacement. There are some requirements which make it challenging to find a proper alternative. I need soomething that will be recognised as a simple mass storage USB device, i.e. can be mounted on Linux. I need playback by folder structure, i.e. sorting by folder- and filename. Furthermore some kind of simplistic speech output would be really helpful, since I can't see. Furthermore bookmarks and a proper resume function are required. I used to have a Sandisk Sansa Clip+, which was supported by Rockbox. This player has been discontinued for years. Some players occasionally come up for sale, but I suspect that their life span will be rather limited. What do the joggers or audiobook fans amongst you use? Sorry for the OT, but here, at least, I can guarantee that the device can be adminstered from the right OS. Best wishes and thanks for any tips, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c 'Cause I don't have to feel the heat of the sun To know it's shining on me every day <3 (Britney Spears)

KVR cafe contest at risk

by Will Godfrey

This month we only have 6 entries, and the closing date is the 27th. The guy organising this nearly threw in the towel a few months ago due to low numbers, and he gives up now it's very unlikely it will ever restart. So if you have anything at all up to 3 minutes long that can be remotely described as relating to a colour (or two) please submit it ASAP. This fun contest has run since (at least) the early 2000s and it'd be a crying shame if it ends. -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Any way to exclude devices from a2jmidid?

by Sirjohndfox

Gday, I'm experimenting using a Universal Mackie Controller with Reaper. The reaper extension needs unfettered access to the controllers midi ports so conflicts with a2jmidid. However all my other midi devices need the bridge running. Is there perhaps a way to configure a2jmidid to exclude a certain device, or I am I stuck with unloading and reloading the bridge?

KVR music cafe contest

by Will Godfrey

The current theme is choose a colour. Well I picked two :) https://archive.org/download/BitsAndPieces/2307_folderol_White_Sands_Blue_W… I'm pretty sure I am the *only* person submitting tracks developed on Linux. The contest needs more people joining in and definitely more Linux folk. -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
