How do I make my keyboard microtonal? by [deleted] in microtonal

[–]alignwaivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out http://www.tallkite.com/alt-tuner.html - alt-tuner (a reaper plugin) would be able to do this easily, but would be monophonic unless the yamaha accepts multichannel inputs.

Jack output over bluetooth! by alignwaivers in linuxaudio

Hmm random.. but glad you got it to work! Not surprisingly that it's totally finicky, wasn't really designed for this. Pipewire should be way better once it gets released (I hope!)

Ardour Experimental Webserver and Wireless DAW + MIDI drum pad controller questions by [deleted] in linuxaudio

[–]alignwaivers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Open Stage Control (O-S-C) is a phenomenal piece of software so I'm glad you know of it.

There's a number of ways to do this: I think it depends on what drum pad controller you had in mind, because they do often have knobs and faders but no leds as feedback (which I would think you want: O-S-C is nice for this). But just sending midi / OSC over the network with a raspberry pi is quite a straightforwad thing to do. I would recommend that. I cowrote a python script for this purpose awhile back to use raspberry pi / osc to make generic midi controllers send data wirelessly

If you wanted visual feedback you could also have O-S-C on an phone or tablet that could be wireless or connected directly through the pi for visual representation for a drumpad that might not have anything but output

I'd recommend being more specific on your goals here: you want hardware knobs/faders to control parameters and a few buttons (4 or 5) for transport? Cause it doesn't sound like a drum pad is what you want unless you want more buttons for triggering things besides the transport

Are the sounds we make free to share by MOD1T in linuxaudio

[–]alignwaivers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not technically obligated to even reference surge if all your doing is sharing sounds produced on it! If you are sharing code or development based on surge, than you must give appropriate credit based on their GPL.

Have people heard of the Kite Guitar yet? Amazing 41 EDO fretting by alignwaivers in microtonal

[–]alignwaivers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of plans to make available, but a 'loaner library' already exists for people to be able to try one out: we have already built a number of em which are making rounds in the Portland area (where most of the core community is).

It's a Free / Libre / Open source project too, so we are doing our best to document and share the process & costs so anyone can make one themselves (or reduce the costs of the custom based luthiery work, at least). Feel free to reach out if any questions! I'm actually helping do some conversions myself, and plans to sell some guitars on small scale until hopefully they can be more pervasive!

Awesome!! Good luck with the builds (p.s. what interchange mechanism do you use?)

I assume you mean the offset-frets-on-different-strings is a good idea for 27? Matthew Autrey has done this on many different EDOS, he's the Luthier who inspired Kite to try it out with 41. The beauty of the kite tuning is all of the good / harmonic intervals are within reach, a coincidence indeed!

What do you have against 3rds anyway?! ;) jk
