Re: MIDI pitch to CC - Akai MIDIMIX Button Event Routing

In case that can help, I scratched my own itch with PD as well:
https://github.com/Gimmeapill/midimix_button_control

This is just to light up the buttons, but should also give you a way to deal with the on/off message in a single press.
I use it with Renoise, but it *might* also work with Carla...

PreSonus Studio 26c

Hi all, Since there doesn't seem to be much compatibility information available, I just wanted to report that this interface works out of the box on Arch Linux (as of kernel 5.11.16): https://pae-web.presonusmusic.com/uploads/products/media/images/presonus-studio_26c-front_thumbnail.png https://pae-...

Re: Reaper starts to implement LV2

LV2 support is a real game changer for me. V6.26 performs smoothly with alsa at low latencies and loads everything I need.
Nothing to mess with, just one putton to press and ready to work - wow...
I just bought it.

Re: Renoise 3.2 released

It looks like a very good mileage so far. It runs very smoothly on my old notebook (possibly even better than 3.1.x). I didn't look at the changelog in details but I'd bet some very welcome performance tweaks were also on the menu. The only problem is that now that we have a screen detachable mixer ...

+1 for Dr Ducks Ax Wax - for pretty much all the guitar.

For the strings, I'm overusing this:

Re: SCARLETT 3RD GEN just announced

:mrgreen: Guilty as charged. I'm wondering if this announcement will result in a slight price drop on the resale of the 2nd gen Scarlett devices... You're reading my mind ;-) So far, 3rd Gen doesn't seem to bring anything really groundbreaking (except apparently new problems), but some destocking p...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs

Ok, so: no HW issue and MX linux is supposed to be based on debian stable = you can very likely skip the avlinux step. -> before jumping on debian testing for the newer mesa, it could still be worth installing another window manager, select it from the lightdm greeter and see how things go with Reno...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs

As merlyn said. If you don't have irq threading activated, all bets are off. Regarding that graphic issue: why don't you just boot avlinux from usb and try the renoise demo from there? This should at least tell you if it's a hardware issue or not. You have a working debian system, you shouldn't need...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs

Nice one, even Taktik doesn't have a clue ;-) I wouldn't bet on the session manager, I was just meaning to install a minimal window manager and test the performance (after making sure all xfce related stuff is not running - preferably after reboot). This is the easiest thing to try without screwing ...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs

Without compton I get an extreme load of xruns in Renoise, which is somehow related to how Renoise is drawing its GUI. That is even weirder, you shouldn't need a compositor to run Renoise, it is the leanest thing around. (I have no problem using it as a DAW with Guitarix at 2-3 ms latency on a 5y o...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs

Ah, yes, rtkit is a dependency of pulseaudio, probably better not touch it then.

For the IRQ threads:yes you should see them in the process list (I usually check with htop).
The behavior of RT kernels is to have it enabled by default, if not you can use the "threadirqs" boot parameter.

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs

A few shots in the dark here, after looking at your pastebin: - rtkit is abandoned for 5 years and running at RTprio 99, right in the danger zone. I wouldn't trust that nowadays, maybe it interferes with things that are now better done by the kernel. Did you try disabling it? - Is IRQ threading even...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs

One idea here: Try to get back to "standard" buffersizes, so something like 512 instead of 528. I don't know about Reaper but this seems to cause problems with some applications (on my setup, Ardour didn't like it for example) By the way, if anyone want to take over the github project or j...
