 sjfloat | I'm connected my controller to it in qpwgraph via "Midi-Bridge", just I was before. | 19:57:52 |
| sjfloat | Well, that's exciting. | 19:58:12 |
 Chris McDonough | high five | 19:58:24 |
| sjfloat | It's really my favorite modular soft synth. | 19:58:58 |
| sjfloat | I've used it for many years. But since I moved to NixOS, I've not been able to -- until literally just now. | 19:59:32 |
| Chris McDonough | always good to get some positive reinforcement now and again | 20:00:59 |
| sjfloat | Well, if nothing else, maybe we can rubber duck together. | 20:01:35 |
| sjfloat | Rubber Duck as a Service | 20:01:45 |
| Chris McDonough | RDAS :) | 20:01:51 |
| Chris McDonough | what i love about nix is that there is a executable deliverable when things get figured out instead of a janky mess in a wiki page, it's not pointless to take the time to get it right | 20:02:54 |

| Chris McDonough | i never was much good at jack config but this is what qjackctl looks like when i have ams running (under 22.05 channel) and qjackctl with a generic midi controller (CTRL) plugged in | 20:06:23 |
| sjfloat | Yeah | 20:06:24 |
| Chris McDonough | i cant seem to make the arrows pointy bits stick heh | 20:06:41 |
| Chris McDonough | but anyway if you want me to try anything lmk | 20:06:56 |

| sjfloat | This is qpwgraph, the pipewire offering for patching. It does what I need, so far. Pretty much like qjackctl | 20:09:04 |
| sjfloat | Now I need to figure out how session management is handled now. | 20:09:48 |
| sjfloat | Some of these patches get really crazy. I don't want have to wire it up manually in a gui each time. | 20:10:20 |
| sjfloat | I wonder if the same tools that worked with jack still do. | 20:10:39 |
| Chris McDonough | i think so | 20:11:18 |
| sjfloat | That would make me happy. | 20:11:35 |
| sjfloat | So maybe tonight I'll started down the list again of apps and things I was doing before and see where I stand. | 20:12:04 |
| sjfloat | For modular soft synths though, ams is the sweet spot for me. I don't really care about the eye candy. | 20:12:53 |
| Chris McDonough | truth be told, i tend to just select presets, i am not much of a make-my-own-noise guy :) | 20:13:49 |
| sjfloat | Is everything you like to use working for you right now? | 20:14:12 |
| Chris McDonough | i used harrison mixbus for many years (it's a fork of ardour, and closed source,that doesn't work clearly, but it's not difficult to replace) | 20:15:27 |
| Chris McDonough | and other stuff i just haven't tried yet tbh | 20:15:42 |
| Chris McDonough | i punted to my mac lol | 20:15:49 |
| sjfloat | I'm kind of minimal in terms of UI. I used ecasound for a long time before moving to Ardour. | 20:16:44 |
