It looks like you're using the raw MIDI Driver setting in QJackCtl, since there is a system MIDI client in your MIDI tab and it won't allow you to make ALSA MIDI connections. It looks like the raw MIDI driver takes control of ALSA devices exclusively so no other program can make connections. In this...

Bitwig's JACK support is only for audio. For MIDI, Bitwig still uses ALSA MIDI devices directly and exclusively, i.e. you can't use a device while Bitwig is using it. Bitwig also doesn't show up in the ALSA MIDI tag in QJackCtl, MIDI configuration is done within bitwig as shown by jonetsu. Previous ...

I suggest you use Windows if you want to shrink its own partition, and then the Ubuntu installer for the rest (manual option).
There are reports of Windows not wanting to boot up after its partition was shrunk with Linux. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but it is unnecessary to risk it.

You could use Python with liblo for OSC and Mididings for MIDI support. For example, the following script accepts MIDI commands and then signals Ardour via OSC to switch to timeline markers and start/stop playback. https://github.com/noedigcode/ArdourSongSwitcher I assume this will work with Mixbus ...

You can find the MIDI channel of a MIDI note by hovering the mouse over it in Edit mode: Press E, then hover over a note. The note name, velocity, and channel is displayed. Press G to return to normal (grab) mode again. You can change the channel of all notes in the MIDI region as follows: Right-cli...

I came across AB Switch here (haven't tried it yet): http://www.sonejo.net/node/71 Alternatively, using Konfyt https://github.com/noedigcode/konfyt consider the following workflow: In your DAW, add a few tracks containing your reference audio (that you want to switch A/B to). Do not output these tra...

Ingen is in the KXStudio repositories.

Then search for Ingen using Synaptic (or apt).

How are you checking for MIDI events in Mixbus? Perhaps try to connect two instances of jack-keyboard together. When you press a note on one of them, you'll see the corresponding note pressed on the other. If this does not work, something strange is up. Maybe restart the Jack server? If this works, ...

This notice on the latest Carla / JACK2 update might explain what you experienced. Jack server restart (or PC restart) is required after latest update.

But I had trouble. Certain Qt widgets would not let me connect their methods while others were OK. For example trying to connect &QSpinBox::valueChanged or &QComboBox::activated would not work, the IDE highlighted them, and the compiler erred. It's a mystery to me why. The format should be ...

I don't know a lot (arguably anything) about drums, but I have found that, for me, it works best just programming drums using MIDI in Ardour (would be similar in Mixbus). Start with bass and kick to get basic rythm/feel, then add repeating highhat to keep tempo, and there you have a very basic groov...

I made this a while ago, which allows you to activate different tracks in Ardour from a MIDI message. It should work for different backtracks for songs: https://github.com/noedigcode/ArdourSongSwitcher Konfyt can be used for live keyboard playing - instantly switch between patches containing differe...

Bitwig insists on only using hardware ALSA MIDI ports. It also takes full control of those, so no other program can use it while Bitwig is using it. To work around this, you could create a virtual ALSA MIDI device and let Bitwig use this device. This wil allow you to: 1. Connect hardware ALSA MIDI p...

Sounds like you want to fake MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression), where each note can have its own pitchbend independent from other notes? Carla's OSC is limited - see the available commands in Help -> About -> OSC. Carla has a programming API, you could do some digging in it. There should be some info...

Your track type is possibly a MIDI+Audio track. Ensure that you create a MIDI only track.
