Getting MIDI through WINE for windows programs

[wolftune]

WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!

WINE 1.4!!!!!!!!!!!

I can now run the H-Pi software PERFECTLY! No lag, no issues! MIDI connected to Pianoteq!

This is awesome! Now Melodyne might be the ONLY issue for me (and I haven't yet tried it under WINE 1.4...

Checkout Ardour, Qtractor, Rosegarden, OpenOctave, Renoise or any other real linux applications for once.
I personally love Renoise and OpenOctave.

edit: I just realized what a 'tard I am by not checking dates before posting... forgot to search for more "recent" threads... lol... I'm so sorry!!!

does no one use bitwig on linux? is it because it's closed source? this is an honest question, I'm not trolling, I have honestly been considering purchasing bitwig for the simple fact of it being crossplatform... and very well made from what I've seen so far anyways... I am by no means a professional, nor am I very experienced when it comes to linux... still all quite new to me, but learning what I can as fast as I can!

Personally, I moved to GNU/Linux for the freedom more than anything else. Bitwig goes against that although, among compromises, Bitwig on GNU/Linux is a better pairing for freedom than Ardour on Windows

I always keep a demo version around for tests, and I like it. I would probably buy it if I could afford it. I've been in dire financial situation for years.

I absolutely hate the way it tries to implement MIDI, but for everything else, I think it's very good. I don't think you would regret it.

However, maybe you should know that Reaper runs well on Wine and there is a native Linux version being developed.

Also, FL Studio is reported to run very, very well on Wine:

I've been using Tracktion. It's very good, quite affordable and also cross-platform, the way you like it. But it crashes many, many, many times per session. It drives me up the wall sometimes.

Now it's your choice.

And Ardour continues to improve, of course, although it is a somewhat different focus, less oriented toward live playing.

thanks for the input guys, really appreciated, I'll look into reaper, @Luc I have a friend that runs a school very similar to Full Sail (just much smaller scale obviously), here in orlando called "F.I.R.S.T. Institute" I'm going to see if I can trade him some services for some software hookups, if I can swing it I'll get you an extra registration for bitwig... hate to hear money being an obstacle to someones creativity!

[wolftune]

Money will continue to be an obstacle to creativity as long as we continue supporting and using proprietary software… The only way to remove that obstacle really is to work together to fund free/libre/open software.
