Konfyt 1.1.3 has been released! Konfyt is a digital keyboard workstation for Linux which allows you to set up patches, each with multiple layers, and instantly switch between these patches for live keyboard playing. Patches may consist of multiple layers of soundfonts (.sf2), SFZ instruments, audio ...

Thanks, those are good suggestions.

a) Fader pickup - very good idea. Will probably only be able to add this a bit later.

b) Move layers up/down - this is now implemented on the testing branch on Github, so you can try it out if you want or wait for the official release (hopefully) later this month.

I found another way using OSC. See Carla's supported OSC commands by going to Help -> About, OSC tab. For example, if you have the ZynAddSubFx LV2 plugin as your first plugin, the OSC command required to change the preset is: /Carla/0/set_program 400 where 0 corresponds to the first plugin, and 400 ...

In the Carla plugin properties window, there are program change options: - Map Program Changes: does not send the bank/program messages to the plugin itself, but uses it to change the "MIDI Program" (the combo box at the top). - Send Bank/Program Changes: sends the bank/program messages th...

The "..." button menu from where you select the channel is only for MIDI learn I think, i.e. controlling the plugin parameters via MIDI. But they are not the actual plugin parameters themselves. The MIDI filter plugin passes or blocks channels. The 1-16 dropdown boxes on the left determine...

pyfuidsynth actually creates JACK or ALSA MIDI and audio devices, just like normal Fluidsynth. Thus you can route MIDI and audio as usual, without using the noteon, noteoff etc. commands. So it is actually then a lot easier using pyfluidsynth. Note that you can select the audio and MIDI driver in th...

Bitwig uses ALSA MIDI in a way that requires exclusive access to it. If anything else is using it before Bitwig, then it won't be able to use it (and vice versa). Currently you are using a JACK MIDI bridge (a2j), so that is using the ALSA MIDI devices, thus Bitwig can't access them. You have to stop...

The .deb file (the link you posted, which is the same as found at https://kx.studio/Repositories) downloads fine for me using my browser, then opening and installing it with gdebi or whatever.

For on the fly patch preset switching, transposition and routing to other synths/effects, you can try Konfyt. https://github.com/noedigcode/konfyt, http://www.noedig.co.za/konfyt/ Ardour works for me as a plugin host for effects and synths and you can easily route MIDI and audio from Konfyt to Ardou...

I had successfully compiled Konfyt, though I had to compile it without support for Carla. Couldn't find the Carla development package. Sorry, but my OS doesn't have the command pkg-config. pkg-config is used to correctly add the dependant libraries. It is used for Carla, but also for liblscp, JACK ...

What exactly do you mean by crash? Does Konfyt crash when you try to load it, or does the SFZ simply not load properly? Konfyt crashes when I try to load the SFZ. but works with Carla By this, do you mean by running Konfyt with the --carla command line argument? No I can load the SFZ with Carla and...

That's odd. Do you mind posting the qmake error message?
Also, the output of I will try to test on a Ubuntu 18.04 based system.

The carla package from the KXStudio repositories installs the development files.

What Linux distro are you using?

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
