 Chris McDonough | i'm happy to test anything here that you guys think is a problem | 19:24:41 |
 sjfloat | I'll have to work through the list again. See where things are. | 19:27:07 |
| sjfloat | For better or worse, I adopted the AMS pkg. But I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong. | 19:27:46 |
| sjfloat | (Alsa Modular Synthesizer). | 19:27:57 |
| Chris McDonough | heh well, i haven't yet used it, but i can :) | 19:28:30 |
| sjfloat | I haven't been able to connect it with an external MIDI controller yet. | 19:28:54 |
| Chris McDonough | i was surprised when i plugged my midi keyboard controller into usb and ardour just found it without issue; usually that is a massive pain in the ass | 19:30:13 |
| Chris McDonough | i also halfheartedly attempted to get harrison mixbus working but their packaging makes it not much fun | 19:32:14 |
| sjfloat | Well, my machine froze | 19:33:14 |
| Chris McDonough | journalctl -k tell you anything? | 19:33:41 |
| Chris McDonough | er, probably journalctl -k -b1 (or some value of b) | 19:34:01 |
| sjfloat | Still rebooting... | 19:34:01 |
| Chris McDonough | btw, nice king crimson album cover avarar over on discourse :) | 19:34:28 |
| sjfloat | Thanks. Can't take credit though :) | 19:35:08 |
| sjfloat | OK, so everything's back up. | 19:40:06 |
| sjfloat | I've used AMS for a lot of years without issue. But under NixOS, I can't seem to patch an external MIDI controller. It's wired up in qpwgraph, both by jack and alsa, but it never shows up in the AMS control center. | 19:41:59 |
| Chris McDonough | the world of pipewire emulation is totally foreign to me, i fear | 19:43:40 |
| sjfloat | Yeah. It's all new to me too. | 19:45:24 |
| sjfloat | My usual way of doing things was to start jack manually and suspend PA. | 19:45:57 |
| Chris McDonough | the bit about "log.level" = 2; # https://docs.pipewire.org/page_daemon.html at https://nixos.wiki/wiki/PipeWire looks maybe useful | 19:47:09 |
| Chris McDonough | i used to have to start a2jmidid for mixbus to see my controller | 19:48:46 |
| Chris McDonough | ala some number of minutes into HLv85Co9xRU | 19:49:10 |
| Chris McDonough | oops | 19:49:13 |
| Chris McDonough | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLv85Co9xRU | 19:49:22 |
| sjfloat | Yeah, I don't need that anymore either. It must be integrated now | 19:49:33 |
| Chris McDonough | yeah i just tried to install it, see probably what you see (nothing in control center) | 19:55:39 |
| sjfloat | Hmm. OK, not it's working for me. | 19:55:52 |
| Chris McDonough | i meant ams, ftr | 19:56:13 |
| sjfloat | * Hmm. OK, now it's working for me. | 19:56:18 |
| sjfloat | I have no idea what, if anything, I'm doing differently. But I must have tried it hundred times. | 19:57:00 |
