Ok, so appart from the discussion on the second point of my mail (maybe
it was better posted to LAD, sorry for that), what about the first:
This seems an interesting idea I'd like to play
with - the problem is,
how can you do it in our linux-audio environment, where usually the
knob generates midi CC data? Is it possible with some tricks to
convert this to an audio signal (maybe way downsampled to not
uselessly waste CPU) pass it through rakarrack or ladspa plugins,
reconvert it to midi CC and have it control something?
i.e. if there's some hacky way to do it in the current JACK system? I
guess this could easily be done with the help of the usual suspects (sc,
pd), and I'll look in to it when I have some time (in sc I think I only
need to understand how to make an Ugen from the incoming midi data, and
then just play it with .ar instead of .kr... I'm more clueless on
the final audio signal -> midi conversion)... other ideas with other
tools?
