Audio setup old

Specific notes on my workflow. General notes on Audio.

Desire

• MIDI controlled MIDI looping
  • Software available? None good enough yet?
• Keyboard split
  • ideally switchable MIDI controlled MIDI routing? i.e., press or hold one key to modify the action on the next key pressed.
  • two/three octaves for playing
  • one octave for part mute
  • one octave for part control selection
  • two octaves for part parameter switching?

• MIDI hardware
  • Yamaha DJX
  • Korg Nanokontrol 2
  • Numark DJ2GO

• MIDI software
  • sequencer64 - no midi record control (yet), no midi learn
  • harmonySEQ - sequence and LFO, multiple sequence patterns, MIDI learn, event scripting (on/off/toggle/set active pattern

• MIDI software not used
  • Ingen - midi learn currently broken
  • Giada - problems between nanoKONTROL2s no button off note off CC and parameter scales. fiddly midi control, learn but no 'mod' like sequencer64 or 'channel' (sample/sequence) select or channel groups or 'channel column progression' system (i.e. Ableton style), GUI not intuitive

Session setup commands:

cadence-session-start -s
  # cadence script to start jackd, divert from pulseaudio, etc.
    # if that fails, cadence-session-start --reset

cadence
  # gui, optional

non-session-manager -- --session-root path/to/project
  # list of applications to run:

jackpatch
  # nsm specific util to save and restore jack connections

patchage
  # connection manager gui. ctrl-g, ctrl-f to sort connections

non-mixer
  # modular mixer, osc/cv controllable

nsm-sequencer64
  # wrapper for nsm-proxy, requires an empty midi file

nsm-ingen
  # check under nsm, copy in blank project, start ingen modular host engine and gui 
  # ingen -eg project.ingen

jack_midi_clock
  # transforms JACK transport tempo beats to MIDI ~Clock pulses

aj-snapshot -r projectname.xml 
  # restore jack connections
aj-snapshot projectname.xml 
  # save jack connections
