milkmight Patchage ever support connecting ALSA MIDI to JACK MIDI, or is the solution simply to use a2e?02:45
drobillaor the jack drivers that do it, or whatever, yes02:47
drobillaI feel pretty strongly that patchage should stick to just connecting things02:47
drobillaHowever if sufficient metadata was available to make it possible, automagically merging the "same" ports would be nice.02:48
drobillaI think it kinda sorta is somewhere maybe, but not sure, and not exposed by the jack metadata API universally in any case02:49
drobillaIt's all kind of a mess :/02:49
milkCatia allows for that, though I can understand separation of concerns.02:49
milkhehe02:49
drobillaI think -X alsa_midi is not the recommmended way for jack1.  Not sure about 2.02:50
drobillaYeah, some older stuff did too.  I'm too lazy to figure out how, what can I say? :)02:52
milki'd stick with JACK MIDI, but midi_capture_N is confusing :)02:52
milkfair enough :)02:52
drobillaSince anything that exposes aseq ports to jack, well, exposes them, it seems like not a great use of effort02:52
drobillaOh, yes, on that I very much agree.  The names situation needs sorting out.02:53
drobillaThe metadata API is without question IMO the way to do this among many other things to make the general jack experience much nicer and automagic, but jack2 being a straggler on that one is holding it back currently02:53
milkfwiw, i just created a github issue for it03:41
drobillaI don't really pay attention to github issues, for the record, but okay04:16
milkah, for jack2 ;)05:30
milki'm loving ingen, now rethinking my while workflow05:31
milker, whole05:34
drobillaawesome05:50
milkis there any way to panic kill/reset an instrument? sometimes when midi stops and/or is disconnect the instrument doesn't shut up. turning off processing quietens it, but turning on and it returns. it seems i have to delete it then readd it?06:56
drobillaNo15:19
drobillaI suppose that would be a good idea, though a reliable panic in something like Ingen would be tricky.  Countless ways the controls in a patch could simply be set in a way that's always audible if running at all15:20
drobillaor you mean one particular instrument plugin is stuck, so just a MIDI panic send would do?15:20
drobilla(all notes off and so on)15:20
milkah, cc 120 does indeed shut it up, sorted :)20:35
milkor should that be 12321:01
milkweird, trying different synths, a midi note to cc 120 or 123 stops sounds from casynth, but i can't then play the same notes again, they just click, while other notes do work. this adds up..21:02
drobillaA 'reinstantiate plugin' option in Ingen would be nice21:17
drobillaBugs will always happen.  I've found myself wanting one a few times, but it doesn't fit so nicely into the protocol.  I'll figure something out21:17
milkis the Carla rack gui known to work in Ingen? i'm seeking to see if the pizmidi vst plugins can work via that, and a gui box comes up for the Carla rack but is never filled with the interface.22:06
milkthe note thing just seems to be casynth, the midi2cc123 stops hanging notes fine with zyn22:11
drobillaNo idea22:14
milkfair dos22:17
