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.
Hi list,
I have heard rumors that Calf plugins could soon be dropped from
distributions mainly due to GTK2 dependency (see e.g. issue where
already in 2022 the Arch Linux maintainer is warning about this) [1].
Overall last Calf GitHub activity seems to indicate 3 years ago.
I'd say the only plugin I used and still use quite a lot is the 'Vintage
Delay' mainly due to its controls [2] and its 'final' result / effect
(i.e. what I hear), so essentially I'm considering the creative /
expressive aspects of this plugin, not its 'technical' features.
I know technical talks about these plug-ins are particularly
'flammable', but please keep in mind my question is purely posed as
'linux audio user' i.e. some dude trying to use Linux and FOSS to make
music - do also keep in mind this is/was (also historically as LADSPA)
the most widespread delay plugin around ;-)
BPM (sync or arbitrary) and stereo features (''ping-pong' or stereo
mode) including musical ratio (sub) divisions are maybe the most
important features for me as well as the straight-forward controls (from
a UX / musical wokflow perspective). i.e. I'd like a delay plugin where
I don't have to solve BPM to millisecond formulas and calculate left and
right delays each time (for that I already have a self-made Pd patch).
Any recommendations for possible substitutes, ideally FOSS, alternatives
- even better something I could just put in as a replacement on stereo
tracks / busses where this plug-in exists in my projects?
Or if it doesn't exist any friends from LAD willing to make one (I'd be
willing to help with requirements and testing etc.)?
I have a proof of concept of a simpler 'stereo delay' (without the
musical times) made in Pd which mimics this but I'd prefer a LV2 (or
similar) plugin. Also with the 'echo' plugin in recent Yoshimi versions
which can sync to BPM and allows independent left-right delay controls I
have obtained similar creative results (albeit only for yoshimi sounds,
of course).

Hello all,
zita-jclient-0.5.2 is now available at
<http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html>
This version is required for the 'freewheeling' classes in
zita-jacktools to work. They will fail silently with older
versions of zita-jclient.
Ciao,
