Title: Midi-Ox for Linux
Post by not2good2c on Dec 30^th, 2002, 4:20pm

Midi-Ox for Linux... will happen :) ... won't happen :( ... might happen ;)

MidiMountain http://www.midimountain.com/ is working with the ardour http://ardour.sourceforge.net team on an implementation of THE pro audio recording tool for Linux.

[Later] And a happy new millennium!

[Still later] Maybe I DON’T need to say that the best soundcard on earth – the RME Hammerfall DSP System http://www.rme-audio.com/ - has already got drivers for Linux (at the very beginning of the millennium…)

[Much later ;)] This is probably my last post at the forum. I have to admit that I love your app – such dedication to the foundation.

P.S. Keep up the good work!

Core MIDI-OX functionality (patching inputs to outputs) is built into the ALSA MIDI drivers under Linux. "Porting" MIDI-OX to Linux would, in fact, mean completely rewriting the user interface and the operating system interface. That would leave the monitoring and mapping functions. These should be pretty easy to write for ALSA - take a look into the TiMidity++ ALSA-server (not client) code as a starting point. Ideally, I guess, you'd run a separate thread for each tasklet and aconnect them together to get the effect you wanted, configuring each tasklet from the command line.

(If (a) I were still running Linux and (b) I had time, I might knock this up... but I'm not and I don't, so I won't! :-) )
