While still having no idea about why MIDI controllers could be used to control both soft synths inside a DAW and other things at the same time that are outside of the DAW, I'd say that for the CV part, it should be working under Linux as I haven't seen any warnings from Bitwig that it does not, for...

I didn't have to disable PPA when I dist-upgraded from Debian-9 to Debian-10 with the KXStudio repositories.

That exclusive MIDI use can be a drawback in some setups although I wonder how many of those setups do exist, where one plays a synth in Bitwig using a MIDI controller and at the same time wants to play another soft synth that's not in Bitwig, with the same controller. Maybe some grid controller (L...

I had several successful dist-upgrades - from Debian-9 to Debian-10 with the KXStudio repositories installed (If you're using a system newer or equal to Debian 9 (Stretch) or Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) you'll also need to enable GCC5 packages.) - made on my computers, description: see signature.

I haven't found any MIDI inputs/outputs function in Bitwig nor do I see any Bitwig MIDI I/O in qjackctl (a2jmidid - neither in jack nor alsa). At the first start I thought I saw a MIDI I/O from Bitwig in qjackctl. This was probably a mistake or I may have now a wrong Bitwig setting. Maybe it is also...

Correction: MIDI is not recognized.

I am happy when people use more GNU/Linux and over time understand the logical reasons and internalize them and then live. Music has something to do with "freedom"! IMHO . But that is also the problem: freedom. There is no "the chef", "the way", "the distribution&q...

Since a system update from Debian I switch off Pulseaudio as described here: Pulseaudio and JACK >> https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?p=103154#p103154 Jack without pulseaudio: In qjackctl Setup: ⋅  Setup >> Options > [X] Execute script at startup: "systemctl --user stop pulseau...

MIDI with or in jack? In qjackctl Bitwig has been recognized. Test yourself. Download Bitwig demo. Unpack "bitwig-studio-3.0.deb", unpack "data.tar.xz" and click on "Bitwig-3.0/opt/bitwig-studio/bitwig-studio" to start Bitwig without installing. But in Bitwig Settings/A...

Ugah! :-D I hadn't known anything about the distribution and its completely different approach so far. Only through your hint http://mixbus.harrisonconsoles.com/forum/thread-7780-post-44763.html#pid44763 . I like Gentoo because of the "make.conf" and the "USE flags" because they ...

Does anyone use https://www.gobolinux.org/, https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=gobo?
Since this distribution is ~utterly different, I'd like to know more about it, especially with regard to audio.

It's official now: Information about the Debian "Buster" release https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ Debian 10 "Buster" released https://www.debian.org/News/2019/20190706 #### New " su - " behavior in util-linux 2.32 >> https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2018/08/m...

Actually, I first signed up for the wiki, since it seems contributions are welcome, in order to add the link, but the password email came in completely blank (same thing after trying to get the wiki to send a new password). @raboof can you tell us how a user can edit the wiki? Thank you. Or write r...

You can take any distribution if it includes the KXStudio repositories ( https://kx.studio/Repositories ) / packages (for example https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/carla/ , https://gpo.zugaina.org/media-sound/carla , ...). See for example here: GNU/Linux Debian installing >> Linux ...

That's great! So you didn't uminstall anything and left also the kxstudio repo in the source list? Yes. I had not installed any packages from the backports in Debian Stretch. I would not update with a system relevant package from the backports such as a kernel. I would always boot and update with t...
