Gioxannes Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Anybody any luck with connecting two linux machines with midi over the network?I know netjack is supposed to do the job, but the Rosegarden sequencer only takes the ALSA midi ports.I am now considering falling back to the Multimidicast software.

stryd_one Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Much voodoo exists over this. Obviously you've already found the two best solutions currently in place - NetJack (best, if you use Jack) and multimidicast (for ALSA Sequencer ports). I guess f you can't use jack, try multimidicast and see how you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gioxannes Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Good then Multimidicast it will be.To get back to the topic. I played a little with MusixGNU. A dedicated distro for musicians and artists. I think it is till too big (Don't need printers, graphics editors) and not everything is properly translated in English if at all.I did not manage to install it on the harddisk. All the nice musicial tools are there though with all the proper options. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I've put a lot of work into it so far, and all based on ubuntu studio... I think it's a bit too late to try other distros now. Fortunately I've managed to find various packages for the later versions of the tools we need, and while I wait for a couple of things to reach completion, I want to start filling out the PPA with those packages. After that I'll make up metapackages and package up the stragglers, and it'll be ready to roll :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblinz Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Any ideas when it'll be finished? I need it for a school project! ;)Good work and thanks for all your time on this, I can't wait to see the end result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 hehehe it's getting there!At the moment I'm spending a bit of time ironing out the details with the way a few things interact.. yaknow like, getting DVD codecs to work with subtitled movies, which means removing the standard video player that uses a gstreamer codecs backend and replacing it with the same app that uses a xine backend... For the end user, this takes only two lines in a script to do, but takes me a week of troubleshooting to pin down... and other annoying small scraps like that.... I think that all efforts will be a waste if people try to use this thing and it just won't behave, noone will bother to use it ;)Anyway if you've got some diskspace to spare, you can start with WUBI (runs ubuntu in a VM within windows) or better yet ubuntu studio, and I can supply you with a list of repositories and packages to add to the system, so you can try it out...
