The Universal mixer features a FireWire and USB interface that can individually stream up to 16 indepen...

I guess Article 6 was written by Microsoft lawyers. I wouldn't be surprised if 95% of this treasonous treaty was written by corporate lawyers representing all major US corporations.

That sounds like a complicated setup.
I would suggest to try without jack/a2j, just select the UA-25 ALSA MIDI IN and OUT devices directly in the M1000 Manager and see if that works. If it does, then that means the hardware setup is ok and the problem must be in the Jack setup.

[EDIT - On M1000 Panel hold down Enter key, type in the number of the patch location, release Enter key saves it] Yep, that's correct. My editor intentionally only dumps to the edit buffer of the Matrix-1000 so that there is no risk of accidentally overwriting patches on the Matrix-1000 with the ed...

Been trying this out and it seems very nice! Thank you so much for your hard work. Thanks for the feedback! :) The 116 firmware seems a lot quicker at doing parameter changes so now if only I can figure out how to assign the mod wheel to do filter sweeps :D You need to assign 'Lever 2' (source) to ...

You are welcome. Let me know how it goes!

AFAIK the Behringer Motör has not been released yet, so how could anybody have used it with Linux (or even Windows) yet?

If you have found the Behringer Motör in stock at any retailer anywhere then please post the link.

I recently discovered akaitools which was written way back in '98. Now that's a blast from the past! :D I tried to get akaitools working in 1998 or '99 as I had a Akai S2000 Sampler back then but never got it working properly. Sold the Akai after a short while as it was waaaay to complicated to use...

After receiving some feedback I have now removed the numeric scales below the sliders, as they made the GUI too cluttered and aren't really needed. New version is 0.5.2. Links and screenshots in the first post have been updated.

Further suggestions on how to improve the editor are always welcome.

@Tux99: Thank you for the advice. So for a proper keyboard, that's worth the money, I'd better stick to good ol' trusted brands like Roland. In my experience, yes. But ideally you should go to some large music store and try them out yourself as everybody has different opinions of what makes a good ...

Thanks for taking the time to ask Paul and he basically confirms what I said earlier in this thread. I'm quoting his answer here as it's relevant for the thread: JACK MIDI is internal to JACK, is entirely synchronous (messages generated by client A are given to client B during the same process callb...

Alesis, M-Audio (and also Akai) aren't what they used to be when they still were independent companies. These days they are all just brand names that belong to Numark and IMHO their quality is very mediocre. I currently have a Roland/Edirol PC-50 which has a very nice solid feeling synth action keyb...

Well there you go, why do you insist on arguing about something you don't understand?
I have been involved with Linux Audio and MIDI since the late '90s so I do know a thing or two about it.

My statement that Jack midi is better is based on the fact it may have lower jitter than Alsa midi - see bottom of https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki/FAQ_and_Myths . I would consider that FUD, when using hardware MIDI devices Jack has to go through ALSA so it certainly can't red...

There are 2 midi systems in linux: alsa midi which is what USB hardware uses and jack midi which is newer and better. Jack MIDI isn't 'better', each has a different purpose. ALSA MIDI is for communicating with physical MIDI devices (hardware synths, controllers, keyboards) while JACK MIDI is for in...
