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.
Found this on my Mastodon timeline:

"My password is the last 8 digits of π."
Good afternoon!
I use a 4K HDR display. The Aeolus UI comes up so small as to almost
unusable. Anyway to increase its size?

Physical Modeling with Faust, can be tested in the Web here: https://faustdoc.grame.fr/examples/physicalModeling/#violinmidi
Done with the Faust musical libraries physmodels.lib: https://faustlibraries.grame.fr/libs/physmodels/, written by Romain Michon.
I guess the result is still far from convincing, but it could be starting point.

BTW: gift, especially for Fons ((-; : zitaRev ported in Faust by Julius Smith, also runnable in the Web: https://faustdoc.grame.fr/examples/reverb/#zitarev
Good evening!
Just wondering. I love Aeolus' sound, and wondered if anyone has applied
the same idea to violins?
Thanks.

"My password is the last 8 digits of π."
Good evening!
I just ordered a StudioLogic SL88 MIDI controller. (Sorry, been playing
piano since age 3 and missed 88 keys!) I've been using a Yamaha PSR-225
for some sounds and entering notes. It has no controls such as
pitchbend, while the SL88 has three joysticks.
I mostly use Yoshimi, Qsynth, Aeolus, and Rosegarden. Occasionally other
softsynths. I'm running Debian Bookworm. I use Cadence to manage the
audio and other connections.
Any advice on how I can setup my studio conveniently? The one
convenience of having a keyboard that could make its own sounds was that
simply turning it on was enough. Something automatic would be nice.
Ideas? Thanks.

Hello all,
zita-jacktools 1.7.1 is now available at the usual place:
<http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html>
zita-jacktools is a collection of Jack audio processors
implemented as Python classes. These can be combined to
create complex graphs that are completely controlled by
a Python script and can be interfaced to anything that
Python can handle. Main applications are automated
measurements, sound installations, listening tests, etc.
New is this release:
class JackBw8filt
Up to 100 8th order Butterworth bandpass filters.
Each one can be configured separately and be lowpass,
highpass or both in series. Mainly meant for measurements
that require this sort of filtering.
classes JackFwplay amd JackFwcapt
These two classes allow to process an audio file via any
combination of Jack apps that function correctly in Jack's
freewheeling mode, and record the result.
All examples having a GUI now use PyQt6

Once again, this really *REALLY* needs more support. It's not just bumping
along the bottom, it's scraping a deep trench in it :( This month's topic is
Hell, and with what going on in the world these days, you should not be short
of subject matter.
Or, you can do what one of the current submitters has done and turn it on it's
head and do the opposite. We always accept sneaky ways round subjects - it's
part of the fun.
And yes, I am again the only contributor running on Linux :(

Hi,
is anyone already using the ARM-based Thinkpad X13s for audio work?
I am wondering if this could be a nice fanless laptop to use, and if
hardware/soundcard drivers are available for this architecture?
Thanks for all comments!
Peter

Hi Jeanette,
The faust2alsaconsole, and more generally faustXXXconsole tools allow limited control, by setting the value of each control at launch time. When foo.dsp is compiled, ./foo gives you the exact name to be used for each control.
But feel free to improve all that for a more explicit control when running.
Stéphane
