Excatly, I won't get rid of my adrenalinn for that reason, and I emailed Roger Linn and he would support a linux midi editor to build adrenalinn patches. He's just a little indie hardware maker so its easy to get permission from him personally than it is to get it from a giant corporation like roland. Most manufacturers do give out their midi specs anyways, so I imagine that it wouldn't be hard to write software to support the new roland boxes with usb transfer, but since its not '99 anymore I definitely can't afford new midi hardware, and that's why I wind up putting my energy into csound, they're always creating new opcodes, the same goes for pd, and you're free to create your own metaphors and interfaces, you're not stuck with a limited set of parameters where you wind up making music that sounds the same as every other user of that piece of gear. http://www.brianredfern.org On Wed, 23 Apr 2003, Daniel James wrote: > > IIRC Tim Goetz managed to get a decent > > amp tone from LADSPA plugins, but it involved a lump of python and a lot > > of messing. > > Our guitarist has never used a computer at all, and besides that we need to > have a portable and robust live set-up.
