Specific notes on my workflow. General notes on Audio.
- MIDI hardware
- Yamaha DJX
- Korg Nanokontrol 2
- Numark DJ2GO
- Session management
- Cadence
- Non Session Manager
- JACKPatch - NSM util to save patching
- http://i3wm.org/docs/layout-saving.html - create layout, save to JSON, edit configs to uncomment/edit window title/class, restore from JSON
- Audio software
- ALSA/JACK
- Patchage - patchbay
- Ingen - lv2 host and patcher
- Non Mixer - a JACK client for each mixer strip, effects available
- drumkv1 - file based sampler
- MIDI software
- a2jmidid - via Cadence, as jackd 2 doesn't do the Metadata API yet
- mididings - filtering, scripting, switching via 'scene' changes
- GMIDImonitor - displays traditional MIDI CC names
- sequencer64 - no MIDI record control or MIDI learn yet
- harmonySEQ - no MIDI record. sequences and LFOs with multiple patterns, MIDI learn, some event scripting
- SuperCutSequencer - MIDI note mute sequencer
- Desire to do
- MIDI controlled effect sends
- MIDI controlled MIDI routing/switching - mididings scenes
- part/pattern progression switching - mididings scenes?
- part/channel preset switching
- LFO frequency fraction selection for effects
- Effects with tempo sync
- Delays: ZamDelay, Calf Vintage Delay, Calf Reverse Delay, Della, SoundHack +delay, PPD Echobox, Tapatiki, TAL-Dub-3, Delazi, Rubbadub, KR-Delay FS, Echobox
- Ducka (side-chain envelope), Masha (beat grinder), dfx buffer override (stutter), dfx skidder (gate), ndcTrem+, MAutopan, MFlanger, MFreqShifter, TAL-Filter-2, Kitchen Sync, The Modulator 2
- SuperBeatRepeater, beatslash-lv2, InstaLooper, grANALiser
- Rhythmic Metalisation Delay, Tempo Sync Reverser
- dlm entropy/gator/manic/pfilter/sfilter/truc
- Cannot yet do
- MIDI controlled MIDI looping - no software good enough yet, would allow live loop of mute and effect changes
- sequencer64 - no MIDI start/stop/arm.
- Giada - audio/midi looping - 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.
- External interactive tempo changes
- klick doesn't do JACK transport and OSC mode (from gtklick) at same time
- Jack Director only has set bpm presets triggerable by midi
- InConcert doesn't take external input or display bpm, crashes often
- MIDI controlled MIDI looping - no software good enough yet, would allow live loop of mute and effect changes
- sequencer64 MIDI control sections for keyboard
- pattern toggle - 0-31 in sequencer64 - c2-g4
- screen-set up - g#4
- screen-set down - a4
- screen-set play - a#4
- mod queue - b4
- mod replace - c5
- mod snapshot - c#5
- mod group learn - d5
- mod group mute select - d#5
- bpm down - nano cc61 127
- bpm up - nano cc62 127
- toggle between sequencer64 controls and playing notes/chords - e5?
- mididings scene mod between toggle and on and off?
- Parts
- Kick
- Snare
- Hi-hat
- Other percussion
- Bass
- Phrase 1
- Phrase 2
- Phrase 3
Session setup commands:
cadence
# gui, optional, easiest. input device can be entered manually if not autodetected.
# cadence-session-start -s
# cadence script to start jackd, divert from pulseaudio, etc. might work for you.
# if fails, try cadence-session-start --reset
non-session-manager -- --session-root path_to/NSM_projects_root
# same session root for all projects
NSM entries
