fedelone moment16:40
fedellike nanotron (http://streetvst.blogspot.com/2007/06/nanotron.html)16:41

skaDo I need a midi-card to use things like rosegarden and zynaddsubfx ? If so, is there a recommeneded page?20:09
holsteinhey ska20:09
holsteinyou dont20:09
holsteinyou can use your qwerty keyboard to 'get your feet wet'20:09
holsteinOR any other method of creating MIDI input20:10
holsteinlike, drawing the data in on a piano roll editor20:10
skaholstein: We also have a low-range yamaha keyboard with usb midi-output.20:11
holsteinhttp://www.rosegardenmusic.com/doc/en/matrix-view.html20:11
skaI suppose I need a way to get sound out too. I was looking at rakarrack too and it looks decent.20:12
holsteinska: have you plugged it in to ubuntu yet?20:12
holsteinthe USB midi keyboard?20:12
holsteinska: rakarrack is Fn awesome20:12
skaholstein: not yet.. I need to try that. Perhaps I should install ubuntustudio first :)20:12
holsteinBUT its only an effects processor20:12
holsteinska: are you running ubuntu?20:13
holsteinyou can get a lucid live CD20:13
holsteinand run something like 'lsusb' in a terminal20:13
holsteinand you should see the USB midi keyboard listed20:13
skaholstein: sure.. I saw that raka got their fx from zynaddsubfx.. Yea I run generic ubuntu now.. but I need to re-install because the disks are old and failing.20:13
skaOk.. Im just starting out.. My normal work is linux/unix sysadmin, but I want to get back into music.20:15
holsteincool20:15
skaI'm sorta lost with midi.20:15
holsteincheck out #opensourcemusicians20:15
* holstein doesnt do a lot of MIDI either20:15
skaok.. cool.. I'll try to hook some components together and re-visit.20:16
holsteinsure20:16
holsteinand you can try an ubuntu-based distro with a LIVE disc20:16
holsteinsomething like pure-dyne20:16
holsteinor KSstudio20:16
holsteinand see if your gear is compatible20:16
holsteinoops20:17
holsteinKXstudio **20:17
skasure.. I have a near-new AMD 64 system with a 3-core..20:18
skacpu that is.20:18
holsteinthat should do it ;)20:18
skaI got it to do some of this type of stuff. For my son too.. graphics etc.20:18
skaDoes ubuntustudio have a live cd?20:38
holsteinska: thats the issue21:42
holsteinif you want to see how all the studio software works on a live distro21:43
holsteinyou'll need to check out something like pure-dyne21:43
skaok.. thanks again.22:02
