Re: Synth programming resources?

Thanks! Very cool and something that I will definitely take a look at. That said, I think this is well beyond the level that I'm working at right now. What I'm really looking for is information on how to take advantage of an existing synth to get different sorts of sounds. Right now in a synth like ...

Synth programming resources?

Hello, wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to go about learning to program synth plug-ins. I've looked at posts like this on kvraudio, and the standard suggestions seem to be the e-book How to Make a Noise and the Synth Secrets articles from Sound on Sound. I've checked out both of these:...

Re: Can't get Yoshimi to launch

And... I'm kind of an idiot. Just needed to start JACK before launching. Thank you very much!

Can't get Yoshimi to launch

Hi, I just installed Yoshimi from the package manager in KXStudio 14.04, and I can't get it to launch at all. I get a loading icon in the taskbar for about 30 seconds and then it disappears again. Any ideas? Thanks!

Re: KXStudio 14.04 and addional drivers

Okay, I think I have this figured out. It looks like jockey-kde was replaced by ubuntu-drivers-common in 14.04. On my system, ubuntu-drivers-common was installed, but to get a GUI for managing drivers I needed to install the package kubuntu-driver-manager. Now I have a Driver Manager in my Launcher ...

Re: Crash when loading plugins in Ardour

Actually all the other instrument plugins I've tried have worked. Is ZynAddSubFX using more memory I wonder?

Crash when loading plugins in Ardour

Hi, I'm running a recent install of the 14.04 iso on a MacBook Pro. Right now I'm getting a crash whenever I try to load ZynAddSubFX as a plugin in Ardour. Any ideas why this would be?

Hydrogen won't send audio to JACK, crashes

Hi, new KXStudio user here. I'm trying to set up a Claudia session with Ardour and Hydrogen, but Hydrogen refuses to connect audio to JACK right now. If I try to open up Hydrogen from Claudia, it comes up but only gives me RX and TX ports (not sure what these are, midi?). If I go into Hydrogen while...

Hi, I'm trying out KXStudio for the first time on a MacBook Pro and I'm having a problem with the Live DVD. I tried the KXStudio 14.04 Live-DVD - 64bit image and it got as far as giving me a choice between trying KXStudio and installing. If I choose Try KXStudio it then hangs for a long time, switch...
