Behringer FCB1010, or similar

by Worik

Friends I am looking for a MIDI foot pedal board for use with my LV2 simulators (https://github.com/worikgh/120Proof.git) I am considering the Behringer FCB1010 but i am naturally unsure if it is suitable I see on the interweb that it has all sorts of "banks" that can be programmed, but that interests me not What I care about is can I address it from a Linux box, see the MIDI events. Has anybody any experience with this, or recommendations for another product? I am currently using a SINCO pedal from Aliexpress.com that is great, but only has four switches I am keen on more options, and especially the expression peda pedals Worik Sent from Proton Mail Android

[ANN] Qtractor 1.4.0 - A Halloween'24 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again, Qtractor 1.4.0 (halloween'24) is out! Change-log: - Improved color contrast on track and clip title labels, when given track foreground and background colors are too similar in lightness. - Clip/Split now also applies to multiple selected clips, on any other track than current, if the split point (play-head) is found within. - Clip Merge/Export... audio clips now taking the internal audio resolution (ie. 64 frames/period), independent to former JACK/Pipewire buffer-size/period. - New Clip Mute state property introduced. - New MIDI clip tool option: Normalize / Compress. - Prepping up next development cycle (Qt >= 6.8) Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

[music] Song for piano and flute

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, and here's the second one. This time it's a "proper composition", with more of a late 19th century feel. A more positive and intense piece as well. https://youtu.be/SukYCNZ82LU The piano had been played months before the flute could be recorded. Due to time considerations several takes had to be comp'ed, which you can hear. My apologies. Next time, there will hopefully be more time to forego that practise. Best wishes and, mainly, enjoy, 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 I used to think I had the answers to everything But now I know ... :) <3 (Britney Spears)

Guitarix.vst v0.4 Release

by Hermann Meyer

Guitarix.vst is the full blown guitarix stack as VST3 plugin for Linux, using Juce to wrap the guitarix engine into a VST3 plugin. It allow to load/save your presets, download presets from online and load external LV2 plugs and IR Files, like the guitarix stand-alone version. But all that as a VST3 plugin in your DAW. All parameters been exposed to the DAW, so accessible for automation. Other than the stand-alone, the VST3 version allows to switch the input to a real stereo input, so it may match better your channel strip in the DAW. For Hdpi users, the GUI is full scalable. New in this release: - Add support for Parallel Processing (process second mono chain in parallel when stereo is selected) - Fix downloading online presets - Update included Juce modules to v7.0.12 - Hide disabled controllers in main amp when no-tube is selected - Update included guitarix engine to latest git head Project Page: https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix.vst Release Page: https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix.vst/releases/tag/v0.4 regards hermann

Touchpad to MIDI

by Will Godfrey

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. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
