Things and Stuff Wiki - An organically evolving personal wiki knowledge base. An on-the-fly taxonomy containing a patchwork trail of topic outlines, descriptions, notes, stubs and breadcrumbs, with links to sites, systems, software, manuals, organisations, people, articles, guides, slides, papers, books, comments, videos, screencasts, webcasts, scratchpads and more. Content is orientated towards mostly free/libre/open, mostly Linux. Quality and age varies drastically. Sometimes old things are first, sometimes last. Use the Table of Contents menu to navigate long pages. Zoom in if text is too small. Dead link? Wayback Machine. I probably need to fix the theme CSS after an update. See also libreav.org. Chat to msg me (not checking tho atm). e

Specific notes on my workflow. General notes on Audio.

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

Desire
- MIDI controlled MIDI looping - no software good enough yet.
- MIDI effect send and control
- MIDI controlled MIDI routing/switching
- Part selection and control? 'mod' key for function
- Easy BPM alteration from a Jack master. Decimal numbers for fine control?

Parts
- Kick
- Snare
- Hi-hat
- Other percussion
- Bass
- Phrase 1
- Phrase 2
- Phrase 3

Keyboard control splits
- part mute toggle - instant
- part mute toggle - on repeat
- part pattern switching
- part preset switching
- LFO frequency fraction selection for effects
- playing notes

MIDI software used
- GMIDImonitor - displays traditional MIDI CC names
- mididings - scripting, switching via 'scene' changes
- sequencer64 - no MIDI record control (yet), no MIDI learn
- harmonySEQ - no MIDI record. has sequences and LFOs with multiple patterns, MIDI learn, some event scripting

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, i.e., no MIDI 'channel' (sample/sequence) select or channel groups - every item requires unique MIDI CCs and learns for each of it's functions.

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
