Hi everybody, > For a MIDI controlled FX box, you probably want to check out jack-rack (for > simpler chains) or AMS (for arbitrarily complex networks of effects). Both
I checked on AMS, and it seems that I could use it. I have to look a bit deeper though. > It seems like it's a good idea to use a flash card and > that's what I did at first, but flash cards peter out > after a certain number of writes. I forgot about that 'detail'. 'll keep the flash card for when IO have something more mature. It doesn't need to be too rugged to start with. > old sound blaster 16 or somesuch kicking around, those usually have > rather decent midi capabilities. MIDI with an old sound blaster sounds like a good starting point, though I won't be using it for audio purposes. I even have the old MIDI to gameport adapter lying around so... > Yeah, there are plenty of these out there. I know off the top of my > head that Roland, Yamaha, and Behringer make 'em. I've got a Behringer. I checked on the Behringer website, and the only MIDI controller stuff I found was in the 'computer based recording' section, with lots of knobs. I play sax, so it has to be all controllable by foot. Would you have a product name? One more question that comes up: Would someone have a distro to recommend? Compact and already tuned for audio/low-latency applications? I've started with SuSE, but I could use something more light weight... Thanks for all the help! Ariel
