Hi there,
I am currently using the excellent whysynth with ghostess. Does
anyone know of a way I can assign different midi controllers to
different parameters for real-time editing? I am also trying to
work out the most efficient way to do a keyboard-split? I guess
running 2 instances of ghostess might be the best.
jack-dssi-host uses OSC to communicate between the GUI and the synth. I assume Ghostess
does too.
I wrote a custom Python script, using the "alsaseq" class, to translate MIDI
CC's to OSC in order to control NekoString via my MIDI controller.
I have been wanting to do the same for WhySynth but I haven't made the time to hack it
up yet. There's a lot of knobs and buttons on WhySynth-- more than I have available on
my controller! The hard part will be deciding which ones to map, and that's what's
been stalling the project.
I happen to like Python, but I suppose one could use PD and the mrpeach OSC externals to
do this too, or actually any language that has ALSA or JACK MIDI and OSC/liblo bindings.
