If you want, you can use your laptop as default interface, and use alsa_in / alsa_out to make additional jack interfaces, and route sounds like you desire in qjackctl / patchage / whateverappyoumayuse.

Hi everyone, I'm running an Arch distro for maybe 3 years, 6 or so years of Linux experience. I just got my first Roland GK-3/GR-55 guitar synth kit. I'm looking for software and hardware advice on recording MIDI with this system. Do I need a dedicated sound card or audio interface on top of high-e...

I have something similar, but in bit longer scope and wider range of things. I tend not to have too much spare time, and most of that is late in the evening, when I am too tired to do anything serious. What I do wit my spare time, varies, mostly in few day or even week cycles. Sometimes it is someth...

Ok, have to study sfz specs, most likely it has enough features.

That would nearly work, but linux sampler is not a plugin, or can it be used so that all settings are in DAW project? It can be used that way. I have several projects that use Linux Sampler. I load the plugin in the DAW, configure it with qsampler, then save the DAW session, which remembers the set...

You can have that amount of control with Linuxsampler and your text editor of choice.It's not too complicated to create SFZ-soundfonts. That would nearly work, but linux sampler is not a plugin, or can it be used so that all settings are in DAW project? How I have used it, it is just like with petr...

Most likely would be great, but regarding how much I use sampler, cost is too much for me.

lilith wrote:Also Reapers sampler can do such things.

Does it work outside Reaper? And I suppose it is not available as separate product?

samplv1 is just for one sample, and what I would want is to have multiple samples overlayed on same tone, and several samples on different pitches. So with samplv1, this would require dozen instances, and then putting suitable notes to piano roll of that particular instance. Doesn't sound feasible, ...

Record hydrogen output to ardour, and finalize mixing there. After your mix is perfect, export from ardour.

I have played some amount of time with good old petri-foo sampler, and I like feature set it has. However, it is standalone program, and I would prefer to have plugin, which would have pretty similar features. You can load samples, set ranges they are available, you have plenty of parameters to adju...

There's no Wine staging in Ubuntu/Mint.

Wine staging is from winehq for all distros.

Yeah, in number of presets dexed with presets from net is unbeatable. https://www.flstudiomusic.com/2015/08/d ... esets.html

Totally another thing is that how many of those 3000 presets sound same

LMMS is indeed great 'all in one' solution, easy to start.
If you are working with some other DAW, and just want synths with plenty of presets, ZynAddSubFX and Surge are free alternatives, and U-He has great non-free (some of them with zero cost) linux synths.

Linux has some drum machines and drum samplers. What the OP wants is a robot drummer. The only software I can think of is Backup Band : https://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=19563 I've never tried it, but apparently it does have robots. I have tried, it is great, but not for this....

That is great, thanks!
