Hi All, This is a request for information about which bit(s) of software people would recommend for a particular musical workflow. I build my synthesizers in Puredata and I have an uc33 controller to do knob tweaking via midi. This Christmas my girlfriend is getting me a USB midi keyboard and I'd like to start writing some 'live' tracks using that. Puredata's strong point is not sequencing and notation, so what I need is an application that I can send midi notes and controller data through, which will remember them and pass them on to Puredata. Ideally I could go back after playing a track live, and shift notes around, modify controller envelopes etc. I am happy to do something like use vmidi loopbacks or whatever. I'm on Debian and my preference is for something that won't pull in too many wacky dependencies, but please don't let that stop you suggesting something. I use Fluxbox and mostly Gtk based apps. Thanks very much for your time! Best, Chris. ------------------- chris@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://mccormick.cx
