hey Stieny, > i have used sooperlooper as a sample player triggered by midi, so in that sense its quite similar. Oh, i see. an interesting approach indeed. (although possibly limiting in how many samples can be triggered) >same with terminatorx (which is greatly missed; all the recent versions segfault on various >button-pushes, at least for me on arch, debian, slackware, puppy etc. its a bummer that this great >app is no longer active). that's too bad. I never really used it before. So, i guess i'm not missing anything. lol. >but the ecasound project is active, and its control interface is robust, which is why i thought it might >do as a sample player triggered by midi... Maybe i'll have a look, sounds interesting. thanks for the info. Myself, i use linux audio - live in a band (or jamming/practicing by myself). My approach goes as follows; 1. I run several Vsti (through wineASIO), Specimen for my sampling needs, Jack-jack mainly for compression and limiting (and to equalize volume-levels between applications) 2. they are then routed into sooperlooper - so that i can quickly in "real-time", make grooves and phrases (multi-channel of course), or just compose music in general. 3. then sooperlooper gets routed into tranches, so i can beat-slice/remix my music/beats. 4. and finally back into Jack-rack, to keep the levels right, before coming to system:playback. (this is all automated by a single script, connections and all) this allows me to have much of the functionality of the Kaossilator, but with much higher quality sounds - and i can program it anyway that i want. If you are not familiar with the Kaossilator, you can check out my Youtube video(s). - this mix gets interesting after about a minute and a half.
