Re: vmpk + qsynth : layered instruments

You can try Konfyt (https://www.noedig.co.za/konfyt/) which is specifically made to do this. It includes Fluidsynth to play Soundfonts like QSynth, but also has support for SFZ instruments. It only works with JACK though, so you'll have to set that up if you haven't already. For automatic accompanim...

Re: Integrated ALSA mixer with MIDI control

You could use Mididings to trigger a Python function based on MIDI input, and then use subprocess to run the appropriate command to set ALSA volumes.

Re: Questions about Konfyt in live practice

The Monophony I meant seems to be called Portamento, but I was not able to make the respective MIDI Signals work so far Portamento is the sliding or bending of the previous note to the new one. Monophony without portamento just silences the previous note when the new one is pressed. Portamento is i...

Re: Cant get midi to work with carla

For me, the Carla plugins list shows an LV2 version and an Internal version of the Audio Gain plugin. I can't get the Internal one to react to MIDI, but the LV2 version works.

Re: Questions about Konfyt in live practice

Attached is a Reaper JSFX script that does what you want for the pad: When a note is received, a note-off is first sent for the previous note, then the note-on is sent for the newly recreived note. The note-off is ignored, so the note stays on until it is cancelled by the next note-on. So it's monop...

Re: Questions about Konfyt in live practice

By putting a MIDI Filter in between, right? Yes. Edit the bass layer's MIDI filter to allow sustain (CC 64, this should be the case by default), and edit the melody layer's MIDI filter to not pass sustain (remove CC 64 from the allowed list). In my opinion, your simplest solution at the moment is t...

Re: Questions about Konfyt in live practice

Can I configure a layer to be monophonic, i.e. only the last played note is sustained? This is nice when I want to play a lead melody while keeping the sustain pedal for the base. Currently, no, Konfyt doesn't have a monophonic feature where it releases the previous note when the next one is presse...

Re: Qsampler catch 22

To bridge your keyboard ALSA midi to Jack midi, run a2jmidid -ue (-u removes the ALSA numbers from the port, allowing the port to be named the same always. Since you probably only have one keyboard of a certain model, this should work fine) After running the command, you'll see your keyboard midi po...

Re: How do I connect a digital piano to a sampler?

1) is this true? Try it and see for yourself :P Although one of my goto piano sounds is a small soundfont, the Splendid 72M. It's really playable (in my opinion), small and convenient. I can't find it anywhere on the Internet, though, but found this which sounds exactly the same. Maybe it works for...

Re: Best Sampler for Linux?

Linuxsampler has the widest SFZ opcode support (as far as I know). If QSampler doesn't work for you, you can also try Konfyt (https://github.com/noedigcode/konfyt) which uses Linuxsampler as a backend and allows you to load SFZ, GIG and SF2 files. It's meant for live keyboard playing, but you can al...

Using ALSA will make Ardour take exclusive control of the soundcard. Use JACK to share the soundcard with other applications. Ubuntu Studio has the Studio Controls app that makes it easy to start JACK and automatically run the various bridges needed for PulseAudio (used by normal desktop apps like F...

Re: [ANN] Konfyt Digital Keyboard Workstation v1.2.2

So... unfortunately v1.2.2 has a bug that prevents one from applying MIDI filter changes.

This has been fixed and v1.2.3 was just released. Binary packages will also be uploaded in due time.
