 sjfloat | Generally, I want things like pulseaudio in my system config, but not jack. | 12:48:39 |
| sjfloat | And since switching to pipewire, I've had terrible performance issues with chrome (it's an older machine). | 12:49:20 |
| sjfloat | I do have a lot more jack-dependent things working again now, though. | 12:49:57 |
| sjfloat | I also introduced the Alsa Modular Synth to the nix pkgs. This was probably my favorite softsynth for years. | 12:50:55 |
| sjfloat | But I'm paying more attention to Pd now. I'd like to create Pd objects using Faust. | 12:51:57 |
| sjfloat | And possibly csound | 12:52:22 |
| sjfloat | The external I want to write now, though, is one for handling MIDI events, which feels pretty clumsy to me in Pd. | 12:53:22 |
 Tom Schouten | i just tried starting jack & pd while pulseaudio was running and it worked without manual intervention - it seemed to just disable the port automatically. then stopping jack & pd and pulseaudio (tested in firefox) was working after. this is nixos unstable from a couple of months ago | 20:37:55 |

The external I want to write now, though, is one for handling MIDI events, which feels pretty clumsy to me in Pd. are you thinking about interfacing with midi device directly from your external? | 20:40:36 |
