| Arnex | Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any experience using a Vox Tonelab ST guitar processor/amp modeler with Linux, and if so what software do you use? | 20:24 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | Arnex: looking at the manual... it looks like some things might work and others not. | 20:51 |
| Arnex | Oh yeah? I'm guessing based on the protocols they are using? I don't know much about them. What do you think will work? | 20:53 |
| OvenWerks | Arnex: It looks like you should be able to get Audio in and out. This is based on the part that says Windows needs a driver but OSx does not. That probably means the audio interface is USB 1.1 or 2.0 compliant. | 20:53 |
| Arnex | Right on. Do you think there is any librarian software that will work? | 20:53 |
| OvenWerks | The MIDI part requires a driver for both windows and OSx and so I would suspect that part will not just work. | 20:53 |
| OvenWerks | The library requires the MIDI part so I am not sure. Best thing is to plug it in and see if a midi port shows up. | 20:54 |
| OvenWerks | (same with audio really) | 20:54 |
| Arnex | Ok. Would i check that with the JACK software... uh, Q--something? | 20:55 |
| Arnex | Qjackctl? | 20:56 |
| OvenWerks | arecord -l would show if the audio ports are there. and qjackctl would show in the alsa tab if midi was there. | 20:56 |
| OvenWerks | amidi -l should show the hw ports | 20:57 |
| OvenWerks | (for midi) | 20:57 |
| Arnex | Awesome. Is there an advantage to using USB audio in rather than analog audio in? | 20:57 |
| OvenWerks | How would you get analog audio in? | 20:57 |
| OvenWerks | USB audio is generally better than the motherboard audio in. | 20:58 |
| Arnex | connect the audio out port (which doubles as a headphones port when the right switch is switched) to the audio in port on my motherboard | 20:58 |
| Arnex | Ok, that's good to know | 20:58 |
| OvenWerks | If USB works I would use that. MB audio input circuitry is not the best. | 20:59 |
| OvenWerks | audio out is ok though. | 20:59 |
| Arnex | alright, that's extremely helpful thank you! | 20:59 |
| OvenWerks | If you are using the USB for audio in you would probably have to use it for audio out too anyway. | 21:00 |
| OvenWerks | otherwise you would need some rate change sw to sync with internal. | 21:00 |
| OvenWerks | If you do need to use audio in, use aux in not mic in. | 21:01 |
| Arnex | Okay, will do | 21:01 |
| OvenWerks | if you are buying, I normally take my laptop into the store and try it :) | 21:03 |
| Arnex | Good idea | 21:04 |
