"Audio System" should also be set to ALSA of course as that is what we are using. This can be done on a running project under: Set MIDI System to "ALSA sequencer" instead of the default "ALSA Raw devices". As mentioned at: Ardour 6 will have its own built-in keyboard so that won't be needed anymore. And it is likely to be a much more realistic use case, as it allows you to play back the backing track while recording, and see live where your MIDI notes are landing.įirst you have to get VMPK to feed into Ardour 5. This is another method I almost got working.

The only thing I could not find was how to change octaves with a keyboard shortcut as I can in VMPK, I could only move it by changing that small white square on top of the keyboard (the "base note"?) with my mouse: When you click on the instrument, a keyboard for that instrument opens up, and then ZSXDC now play that instrument: Then there is a File > Export MIDI menu if you really want the MIDI.īut then I made the incredible discovery that LMMS also has its own virtual MIDI keyboard, with the default traditional ZSXDC bindings, so there isn't much point in using VMPK with it I think. The right one allows you to hear other instruments at the same time as you record your track. Then to record, there are two cryptic looking record buttons next to play on the corresponding Piano-Roll view:

Now I can already hear the Zyn sound coming from VMPK. ZynAddSubFX), and it can also record live while looping the other instruments!Īll you have to to is launch vmpk, then on an instrument track (ZynAddSubFX in my case) I go:

LMMS was so incredibly easy to use for this purpose! After one hour of playing with I was able to record VMPK input through any of the synthesizer plugins it has (including e.g. I can still hear the sounds at the same time from fluidsynth as before to know what I'm playing. Once arecordmidi starts running, it immediately starts recording vmpk MIDI input to out.mid, until I do Ctrl+C to kill it. Where 129:0 is the vmpk output port found with aconnect -l just as was used for the fluidsynth setup on the other linked answer. Now, after doing that setup to hear the keyboard presses, I also run the following on another terminal: arecordmidi -port 129:0 out.mid

Pattern length is now calculated using the length of the notes in the pattern and is rounded to the nearest full bar (multiples of 192 ticks).First I got vmpk working with fluidsynth on the CLI or qsynth through ALSA as shown at: Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard setup If you have any questions or comments, let me know here:Ĥ - Fixed a bug where conversions were failing when time signatures had been automated.ħ - It seems s in the XML no longer have a "len" atrribute, which caused issues when trying to convert bassline tracks. About 20 didn't convert but the rest did. I tried to batch convert about 300 files and it froze for about 10 minutes. I've not done extensive testing with this but it's worked with each individual file I've tried it with. It is intended to be a way to export tracks to another DAW rather than a way to create final MIDI files.
