I'm looking for some kind of midi processor that would allow me to convert
midi input (from a controller) into some other midi output (to gear) so that
I can workaround the limitiation of my faderfoxes that have all midi
pre-wired. Would there be an application like that is lightwheight enough I
could run it on my EEE ?
Thanks for any pointers

Hi Marc
you can use pd to transform midi data in any way you like, you don't
have to switch on the audio processing so it can behave lightweight. I
use it all the time for that purpose.
I am curious to hear what you are doing with the EEE.
Cheers,
Malte

I'm kind of scared to dive into the complexity of PD but I guess I should
give it a try...
As for thr EEE, I'm still in hope to get it properly running for minimal
audio but I seem to hit the wall glitchwise. I'm sure it's somehow possible
(littlegptracker eats only about 10% of the CPU) but all config I've tried
never lead me to smooth playback. Probably setting up a proper linuxRT on it
should make it ok but all my attempts lead to failure. I enjoy it a lot as a
portable development machine (I do a lot of coding in the bus) but so far
the audio part has only given me disapointment. According to some,
re-compiling a RT xandros kernel works but even a major geek like me tends
to be turned of by the lack of clean solutions for that. I want to spend
time coding or doing music, not configuring kernels grabbing pieces of
information all over the place.
It's such a neat inexpensive machine tho, it's a shame not to be able to use
it for music on the go/ gigs and stuff. Probably one day I'll be able to fix
it.

A bit of Pd knowledge can't hurt, and aquiring it doesn't have to
hurt either. Attached is a basic example which just transforms
incoming cc-messages into cc-messages on a configurable, different
cc-number on the same channel. I've put lots of comments into it,
although the basic patch consists of just a couple of builtin objects.
Try a right-click -> Help on each object to learn a bit more about
each, then go through the examples in "Help -> Browser ->
2.control.examples" and also read the HTML manual. After that you
should be on your way to Pd guruness.
Ciao

Thanks Frank, I'll look at that in details !

Regarding the glitchy sound on the eeePC, I think it may be because of
interrupt sharing between sound and video (although other people on
this list didn't agree). In the end I bought myself a _very_ cheap USB
soundcard (asonic something or other - used to be £10 on ebuyer, but
not sold there any more), and jack now runs completely glitch-free.

I've been asking for such a utility for a while. As
I've mentioned
before , something like a software version of the Yamaha MEP4 would be
neat. If I ever have the time I'll try to hack Holborn's midirgui to do
it. Like I'll ever have the time... :(
You're sure to hear from the Pd mavens though. ;)
Best,

You may want to try mididings (http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/). It's work
in progress, and some features are barely documented at the moment, but it
seems like it might fit the bill.
It's text-based, scripted in Python. You don't need to know Python to put
together simple patches, but it certainly helps for more advanced setups.

hi Marc
i would probably build a PD (puredata) patch to do it. i´ve heard pd
runs smooth on eee. the problem is that you need to learn a bit of pd
patching - what is not so easy if you did not work with this type of
software
all the best

Hiho,
SuperCollider has also been reported to run on it, and could easily do the
task in just a few lines.
sincerely,

Wouldn't midirgui or qmidiroute do that?
