Yes you can use a drawing tablet as a high-resolution pressure-sensitive XY controller with the appropriate adapter software. Did that for a while, fun to play around with fora while, but having to pick up the pen to use a MIDI controller feels a bit silly. Your milage may vary ofc.

Sounds familiar, most of the chip emulations have a hard-coded sample rate. As the original chip ran at that fixed rate.
It's usually non-trivial to change. Adding a resampler probably keeps the original spirit of the sound best.

'midipattern' looks awesome, it is exactly what I've been looking for for while for my LV2 pipeline, a simple note sequencer. Would be great for drum loops. I'm not able to make it generate any output though - with the current Carla git, I could draw events in ''F" mode. I suspect it should be ...

One thing I'm missing that 90's keyboards had is simple drum patterns. You could just hit the button and it would loop some pre-programmed drum or metronome pattern. This sounded incredibly cheesy, but when doing a bit of jamming and you're in need of a beat it was useful. There are LV2 plugins like...

To elaborate, I think he means this specifically:

Try the keysplit plugin.

Thanks! That's genuinely useful, I used to do my key split+transpose by running qmidiroute on the side, but now I can do it all in Carla.

I love the updated Dexed in DISTHRO. Thanks FalkTX and Digital Suburban.

last time i've checked, a2jmidid was using snd_midi_event_decode() with a 16 byte buffer size, which i think is perfectly enough (eg. a complete NRPN event is composed by a consecutive series of 4 MIDI CC raw events, each of at most 3 bytes in length. iirc.). Yes, thanks for the info, 16 bytes is t...

I guess the problem here is ALSA's fancy interpretation of MIDI messages. Instead of just giving you raw MIDI events the ALSA API sometimes gives you half-interpreted events (14-bit messages, NRPNs etc). This causes problems in a lot of software that wraps the ALSA interface and doesn't know how to ...

Not sure what kind of high-security top-secret stuff you intend to do here anyway, but this site doesn't even use https by default so any effort in using a long password is likely wasted

I have very little experience with NTK, but I know for sure that NTK file menus (used in zynaddsubfx) block when opened. In my plugins, for example munt-lv2 , I've solved that by creating Fl_File_Chooser and such and registering an asynchronous callback instead of using the modal function. It resul...

it's drop dead gorgeous. btw Still have a book somewhere about FM synthesis : "FM Synthese in de praktijk" (practical FM synthesis). It's in dutch and very technical. It shows you what kind of wave form you get when modulating the sine waves , etc etc. If people are interested I can post ...

It would be one up my alley, but alas, I don't really have time to take on another project right now.

Thanks for sampling the sound of this notorious torturing implement for us Jeff. I'm surprised you managed to muffle the screams in the background

Made a little progress here (different colors are clips from different tracks). http://i60.tinypic.com/2a0nle.png It's possible to open multiple clips in a editor. One if the 'main clip' which can currently be edited and is shown in the foreground, the rest is shown as context. Next up I want to mak...

2) polyphony and monophony. In this day and age, why should a softsynth have limited or no polyphony?? Whether to use a polyphonic or monophonic instrument is a musical choice. I too used to be influenced by the marketing of the 90's that polyphony is always better. With softsynths it changed - unl...
