Re: Hydrogen - midi control to jump to new pattern ONLY at end of existing pattern

Thanks impostor. I didn't spend much time with stacked pattern mode as I confused myself, so I will experiment tomorrow hopefully.

Hydrogen - midi control to jump to new pattern ONLY at end of existing pattern

Happy New Year to all (almost!). I am using a set of midi pedals to try and control Hydrogen. All works fine - except I can't find a hydrogen action to jump to a new pattern ONLY when the existing pattern has completed. If i use the action "select_and_play_pattern" it jumps to the new patt...

Re: Upgrade to AVL MXE 21 alsa cant use Saffire6 o/p but i/p OK

OK, well I got a few minutes to try the 5.10 kernel and everything works again, so I have a short term solution. Not sure how long it would have taken me to discover that it was a general USB driver issue and not something more specific to this hardware. Thanks for your help. Time to start saving up!

Re: Upgrade to AVL MXE 21 alsa cant use Saffire6 o/p but i/p OK

Cheers guys. I will try a different kernel at the weekend. I notice that someone is selling the USB 2.0 version of the same interface for a good price so might bite the bullet on that one.

Upgrade to AVL MXE 21 alsa cant use Saffire6 o/p but i/p OK

Not quite sure where to post this. had a few problems with my Saffire6 USB 1.1, but @Puleglot of this parish came up with a kernel patch to get it working and I've been very happy with it. Lovely bit of kit. I still had to have a few restarts each session for everything to kick into life on AVL 19 b...

Re: Ardour recording midi and changing BPM

Ah, that "lock to music" setting looks interesting. I will have a play when I start another project. In the end, I set the BPM in ardour before recording the midi and audio data. And things all lined up visually, which is what I needed. I can now align audio clips to the bar/beat grid and ...

Ardour recording midi and changing BPM

Happy New Year eveyone. I've been using Ardour with audio tracks up to now and happy using it. Now I want to add Midi tracks. I've used the rhythm generator on my Juno DS to laid down a basic timing track. It was recorded as a midi track. The Juno DS was playing at 206BPM, but if I set Ardour to 206...

Re: Saffire 6 USB 1.1 no inputs available in Jack [ SOLVED ]

Good man. I applied it to 5.8.1 recently with no problems.

Thanks for your work with this, and sorry if I added any confusion along the way.

Re: Saffire 6 USB 1.1 no inputs available in Jack [ SOLVED ]

OK, last post in case it helps anyone, but I think I'm the only one interested now! The saffire6 works perfectly on the new PC if I start a new session at 48k instead of 44.1k. Obviously a sample rate mismatch somewhere, but I'm fine with 48k. Bottom line is that puleglot patch works well for the Sa...

Re: Saffire 6 USB 1.1 no inputs available in Jack [ SOLVED ]

A bit more information in case it helps anyone. Quick summary. New PC, Saffire6 works with standard snd_usb_audio module for output only. No inputs show up. With patched module, inputs show up but playback and recording sound slow and distorted. Took hard drive from old PC where Saffire6 worked perf...

Re: Please testers needed: Debian Package to Optmize Linux Mint, Ubuntu and Debian Based OSs

Funnily enough I've just built a new UbuntuStudio box, so I ran it on there. Unsurprisingly it said everything was OK. One warning msg about not being able to remove KXstudio, which was as expected. Whole process was easy to use and seemed to work perfectly. Great work! == GUI-enabled checks == Chec...

Re: Saffire 6 USB 1.1 no inputs available in Jack [ SOLVED ]

Well after a complete diversion due to the current crisis, I've come back to trying to record music again. A problem with my old PC meant that I've have to scrounge and rebuild a new one. Ubuntu studio all set up and tested, Saffire 6 working fine on output only, so time to recompile the snd_usb_aud...

Re: Saffire 6 USB 1.1 no inputs available in Jack (SOLVED)

And one last thing in case it helps anybody. Rebooted my laptop today the the Saffire had stopped working. Remembering yesterday when it was working, the only difference was that it was plugged into a different USB port. Moved it back to the original and it worked again. Phew! Looking through the lo...

Re: Saffire 6 USB 1.1 no inputs available in Jack

Well, there's lots of good guides on how to download and compile kernel from source, so best search for one to suit your distribution. The general principle though is to install the tools. Then download the relevant kernel source. Once it is extracted somewhere, go into that directory and type "...
