Hi there,
I'm a composer of traditional music, recently got interested in electronic music. I work on a Mageia 9 box.
Let me describe my problems in some detail:
-
I wanted to use multiple instances of amSynth, and after some trials and failures I used a bash script to launch all of them, specifying for each instance a preset, a MIDI channel and a name within JACK.
-
But then I stumbled on something frustrating: some instances would for no obvious reason decide to die on me! In the middle of composing something...
-
And then I found out I have Carla installed, and I used it to build a rack of all the instances I intend to use. All was fine. But...
-
Within JACK, no ALSA port appear that would correspond to the synth instances on the Carla rack! Hence, Rosegarden, for example, doesn't see them!
What am I missing here?! How can Carla be useful for me if I can't connect the synths on its rack to a sequencer?
I do appreciate your valuable help.
A million thanks in advance.
