Greetings Greetings, A couple of months ago I finally had my setup complete. Things were going great, I'm using REAPER as my DAW, and I've managed to get whatever plugin I wish to load up in Carla. That is until a couple weeks ago. I've been trying to load up Calf Plugins(Because REAPER doesnt natively support LV2) through Carla, but they automatically turn off after a couple of seconds after being loaded in. Any other Carla users having this issue? Or know of a solution?

Re: [LAU] Live setup question with Carla

by Anders Hellquist

I have been using Carla for stage performances for at least a couple of years.. I set up my Carla session to include a internal Midi-filter and route the 16 midi channels to different plugins. My standard session includes SetBfree, Pianoteq, various U-He synths and some sfz libraries. I usually use keyboards where changing midi channel is easy to do. Last gig I had, an additional keyboard player was plaing with us and I hocked his master keyboard to an empty usb-slot and connected him to one of my plugins. Everything worked so well. My problem is more that Carla is super flexible, the plugins are too and my very configurable midi keyboard (one of them) Nectar Panorama P6 is too. This gives me way too many options and ways to improve the setup. /Anders 2018-09-26 15:12 GMT+02:00 Jeanette C. <julien(a)mail.upb.de>: > Sep 26 2018, Gideon van der Kolf has written: > ... > >> I use Konfyt for keyboard setups: http://www.noedig.co.za/konfyt/ >> > ... > thanks Gideon, I've also passed on your tip.

Re: [LAU] Live setup question with Carla

by Gideon van der Kolf

Hello. Uhm.. let's hope this goes to the right place, I've never replied to a mailing list before. Am I doing it right? Mididings does work for what you want, given that you don't need to quickly be able to change the configuration just before / during the performance. I use Konfyt for keyboard setups: http://www.noedig.co.za/konfyt/ It allows you to quickly and easily create patches and switch between them with a cool feature that when you hold notes while switching patches, they will continue to be held down until you release them. In your case you would probably ignore the Soundfont and SFZ functionalilty and just use MIDI output ports for each VST plugin and app (Pianoteq). You'll still need something to host the VSTs, like Carla or Ardour. I usually opt for Ardour since I feel comfortable with organising the different instruments/effects in mixer strips. Another option is MIDI Layer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/midi-layer/ Cheers Gideon On Wed, 26 Sep 2018 at 12:01, <linux-audio-user-request(a)lists.linuxaudio.org> wrote: > > Hey hey, > I am helping a friend to set up a live performance system.

Yoshimi V 1.5.9

by Will Godfrey

... Yet Another Sparrow Apart from the new list of helpers attached to the 'About' window, there is little visible change for most users, but the command line has now been greatly extended. Full details are in doc/Yoshimi_1.5.9_features.txt As usual, there still is much to do, but progress is steady. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

free/libre/open online music distribution

by Wayne DePrince Jr.

ahoy all, i have been doing some research into free/libre software and/or services for music distribution. my preferences are a *customizable* static HTML+CSS+JavaScript site (e.g. like the current crop of static site generators https://staticsitegenerators.net ) that i can host myself which allows streaming and free/libre downloads of releases/tracks. basically i am looking for a simple static site generator that is album/track/audio aware, though i am open to any solutions available. my current list is small and all save one require a full-blown CMS+DB install: * Pushtape http://pushtape.com - currently only Drupal based * CASH Music platform http://cashmusic.org - PHP+DB requirement for self hosting - also available as a free/beer service hosted by CASH Music with embeddable widgets - currently no streaming support * WordPress - there are some freemium plugins for hosting a music store, etc. but again i am trying to avoid the setup+maintenance of a full CMS * indieTorrent https://indietorrent.org - online only service - very interesting/cool manifesto https://indietorrent.org/docs/manifesto/ - not lots of activity but still kicking https://indietorrent.org/4rum/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=39#p39 - not specifically for self hosting but as it is open source it could be done others (ReverbNation, Jamendo, Magnatune, Bandcamp, Bandpage, thesixtyone, etc) are all either non-libre, non-self hosting, etc. if anyone has any items to add to this list, experience with a service, homemade solutions, etc. i would appreciate them sharing it. i figure since we all go through various amounts of trouble to follow our principles/passions/whatever by using free/libre tools when making music, sharing it would be no different. thanks, w

Streaming a show with linux?

by Mac

Thinking about setting up a live streaming radio show for a local theater group. Figured I'd start here with my research. Does anyone do this with Linux? What app do you use? How about video?

Yoshimi Command Line

by Will Godfrey

I have a question for any people who make use of this. Recent work means that in the latest builds some deep access into the synth engines is now possible with the status of all context steps being echoed to the prompt line so you know where you are. However this can get very long, so I'm wondering if it would be better to have a status line followed by a normal "yoshimi>" prompt. As has already been pointed out, this would then tend to orphan the last command actioned from the prompt. Currently, using minimised commands from the top level: 's p add voi env fre on' reports: 'Part 1 Kit 1 Add Voice 1 Frequency Enable Env Value 1.000000' and gives a new prompt line: 'yoshimi Part 1 on, Addvoice on, freq Envel on>' Bear in mind that the report is what you did, and the prompt is where you are (although there is considerable overlap). If you now do: 's at t 80' the report is: 'Part 1 Kit 1 Add Voice 1 Amp Env A dt Value 80.000000' but the prompt line is still: 'yoshimi Part 1 on, Addvoice 1 on, amp Envel>' We need to tidy up the responses, and intend to shorten the report line to just the control changed and its new value, as the steps to reach it will be in the prompt. Or should they be? That's my question. Another consideration is that the prompt is specific to the CLI but reports might be directed to the GUI console! Also, as well as blind users, we have at least one sighted user who runs graphically but sends commands via the CLI wherever possible. Finally, I'm sending this to both LAU and Yoshimi's own list as this is getting into unfamiliar territory and I would like to get the widest possible user views. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
