Hey! Is there any overlap between this community and the ardour community? :)
I've used ardour on and off over the years if that counts 🙂 don't really consider myself "ardour community" though, but it's an amazing piece of kit and I've been a fan for many years
back when I did my audio engineering studies they taught us protools, I feel like ardour is heavily inspired by protools so it always felt familiar
it pairs quite nicely with overtone/supercollider, just hook up all the SC outputs to individual ardour busses and you can do fun stuff
no, not really. It's pretty basic, every channel/bus in ardour has separate jack ins/outs, and same for supercollider, which starts with a configurable number of busses. By default only the first two are connected (to your audio interface), but you can rewire them however you like, manually or with something like https://github.com/squidcasa/casa.squid.jack. So e.g. you can have each inst/synth play on a separate output bus, and wire them into ardour so you can mix them individually, add plugins, pan, eq, etc.
If I find some time I'll try to record a little video. No promises 🙂
this does require jack, which is pretty standard on linux. It's possible to run it on mac but it's less common and I don't know how hard it is.
Jack won't be a problem, I used to work with that for quite a while ^^
Oh wow, that's awesome! Do you have any resources on that?
i used to a lot of hobby electronics, not so much today. It would be fun to make a tiny midi controller though, much smaller than the comercially available controllers(that i can fond anyway)
cool! I built an ergodox like 10 years ago, it used the teensy i think
Can recommend teensy microcontrollers for this. There's a dedicated library that makes it simple: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_midi.html
