Hi List,
Since I discovered that there is a great deal of interference
happening when I have both wifi and USB audio running, it certainly
has been a drastic improvement to turn that off when I'm working.
I'm currently building a foot pedal controller. I have an Arduino
Diecimila that is going to transmit the simple on/off as well as
continuous controller info. My thought is to make it a bluetooth
device and have wireless communication with my computer. Since I
currently have no other bluetooth devices to test it out, does anyone
have any information on how much bluetooth has the potential to
interfere with my audio? Is it better to simply keep it as a bluetooth
device?
Pulse Audio has pretty advanced bluetooth support via the bluez API.
One of the "features" for professional audio production that is currently
missing is a way to use a bluetooth controller with JACK transport. AFAIK
no one has taken on that job yet. I am very interested to hear if you make
any progress with that.
It should be possible to route the signals from PA through to an OSC or
MIDI controller or maybe we just need a plugin for bridging directly
between PA and JACK.
