Downloaded some samples that came packed into separate folders. This is annoying because there is only 1 wav in each folder making it a hassle to browse.
heres the fix:
mv -n */*.wav .
then to remove the folders
rmdir */

xrns2mod required something called bassmidi library which needed a license to run? tried and gave up this one actually worked for me but the pitches get screwed up in multi samples. still way better than nothing.
in the cc column it starts at 80
so cc1 is actually 81 (also its in hex).
the interpolator tool can quickly create ramps for filter sweeps at a set interval like a tempo synced lfo
kilohearts compactor makes that nee ring mod side chaining technique easy
Easily miss this setting because its hidden in the edit menu under misc as resample new length. set the number of lines to the end of your sample and it will adjust the pitch to play out to that length.
Then you can use the 7 effect to chop on offsets of 8000
snare on 4000 etc..
that sets multisynth to c5 and divides output midi note by number of inputs to spread the sounds across the keys. loading sounds it's probably easiest to use milkytracker to create .xi files and save them as meta modules.
Im' using a logitech k480
hosting bs-16i in aum as an inter app audio insturment instead of auv3 because the auv3 version isn't multitimberal. I have drums, bass, jazz gt, and piano set to trigger on midi channels 1 through 4.
shift pgup/pg down is kind of broken you need to shift arrow down 1 line before doing pgup/down or home/end making it awkward.
You can get similar behavior to Renoises phrase editor by using a metamodule that contains a pattern with a multisynth in it that receives the midi input. For the multisynth you set the options to 7F Arpeggiator (base note c5). Make sure to correctly set the input module and play mode to loop. If it double triggers you need to probably change the input module one higher. The benefit of nesting your drum patterns in metamodules is you can sequence drums in double time while keeping your main sequences at a more manageable scolling speed by simply halving the TPL. you can quickly fill sequences by using ctrl p to place evenly after ctrl t to select the columns.
cool to be able to launch everything in rofi with its own icon. wine apps, app images,
#!/usr/bin/env bash
[[ "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" != "$0" ]] && return
APP_DIR="$HOME/.local/share/applications"
mkdir -p "$APP_DIR"
# Minimal prompts
read -rp "App name: " APP_NAME
read -rp "Path to executable: " EXEC_PATH
read -rp "Path to icon: " ICON_PATH
# Sanitize filename
FILE_NAME=$(echo "$APP_NAME" | tr ' ' '-' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
DESKTOP_FILE="$APP_DIR/$FILE_NAME.desktop"
# Create .desktop file
cat <<EOF > "$DESKTOP_FILE"
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=$APP_NAME
Exec=$EXEC_PATH
Icon=$ICON_PATH
Terminal=false
Categories=Utility;
EOF
chmod +x "$DESKTOP_FILE"
echo "✔ Created $DESKTOP_FILE"
this is such a good tip on how to use midi out to make multi sampled snapshots of synths in koala similar to renoises vst sampling or fls using directwave
cool thing is it has patterns and works with soundfonts
line in and out using a 2$ interface from ali express.
add this to .bashrc
#record and playback
alias record="arecord -D plughw:2,0 -f s16_LE -c 1 -r 44100 -V mono test.wav"
#top right usb port if it matters
alias playback="aplay -D plughw:2,0 test.wav"
using iphone lightning to headphone adapter to plug in the aux. Input and output can't record at the same time but it shows a VU meter in the terminal so you can see if you're getting levels.
schismtrackers midi clock is all wonky. This 32 bit tracker from 2002 is amazing for midi.
oh wait actually just found theres a newer version from 2025!
ztrackerprime
what a cool name
This is the coolest project. Im really happy with espi already though on ios. building your own sp1200
