my fluidsynth alsa setup with m-vave bt and pico

gnome-terminal -- bash -c '
fluidsynth -C0 -R0 -l -a alsa -m alsa_seq -is -p "FluidSynth-GS" \
-o synth.polyphony=64 \
~/Documents/sf2/GeneralUser-GS.sf2 &

until aconnect -l | grep -q "FluidSynth-GS"; do sleep 0.5; done

aconnect "SINCO" "FluidSynth-GS" 2>/dev/null
aconnect "Pico"  "FluidSynth-GS" 2>/dev/null

wait
exec bash
'

my pico sends msb lsb program changes to switch sounds. the m-vave bt im using with my microkorg to play soundfonts.
this script lets me auto connect everything

yamaha cbx-k1 stuck notes fix

press shift + tempo + 0 + enter to disable the external midi clock
had a similar problem with microkorg giving errors when trying to send patches over midi cable. I think it just sends too much data at once and gets garbled so this reduces that significantly.

digiwaves decent sampler

decent sampler inst on dropbox

made an insturment for the decentsampler vst that can also run on ios. Its 64 digital waves you can swap between using the modwheel. If you rename the .dslibrary file to zip and extract there is a .sfz mapping which uses the same samples but maps them differently. The soundfont has no UI but its got a lowpass filter and amp and filter egs that correspond to the mk. The sfz is monophonic while the decentsampler patch is polyhonic.

regex to get the sample name only from sfz

^.*/

this simple regex works in mousepad

Renoise Midi Hardware Sampler Tool

Midi Hardware Sampler Tool

been using this to sample the microkorg into renoise

Microkorg Dashboard

Using the Dashboard Plugin In FL studio 10 I made a control surface for the Microkorg that has everything on a single page unlike the fruity midi out plugin that splits everything across several pages. I like it all on one because I find it easier to see everything and map them to hardware controllers or automate. Dropbox link

deflemask triplets in 12 lines instead of 8

with a pattern length of 48 with each beat being 4 lines
set the speeds both to 2: 09-02, and 0F-02 to align with 8th note quarter notes

deflemask triplets using speed commands

in 2 columns set 09 01 and 0f 01
then to reset back 09 03 0f 03
that lets you sequence like regular quarter notes across 8 lines
