• Synth wars: The story of MIDI (2023)

  > Midi being an “artist” tool places it more as a medium like paint. I’ve used MIDI “as paint”. Written music using code to MIDI(1), and wrote “cross instrument” music, ie using my keyboard as drum machine. But these days MIDI is chiefly an archival method for me. Every time I touch my keyboard is recorded, is much smaller than a comparable audio recording, by design “forced fidelity” in the recording, and I am... - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Music Programming for Java and JVM Languages

  You might want to look at Overtone, which is a clojure environment built on top of overtone, and which integrates with processing and a few other similar things. https://overtone.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Sonic Pi – The Live Coding Music Synth for Everyone

  > I'm fluent in Python but find the use of colons is the real sticking point. The you'd probably have hated its predecessor which was all about the parentheses: https://overtone.github.io/ It's too bad that superficial stuff like which characters you need to type is holding you back. Getting used to Ruby when you're familiar with Python is no big deal. I would just stick with it. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Can I create an application to help me work out my drums rudiments in emacs

  There's a project you may find interesting: https://overtone.github.io/. Besides sound/synthesis stuff, it has https://github.com/overtone/midi-clj library, which allows you to write MIDI as lisp (Clojure, to be precise) code. Emacs has great support for Clojure programming (via Cider), and REPL-based development is perfect for writing music. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Getting Started with DAW?

  So, I saw the other day the release of the ep-133, and it happens that I want to get started doing that kind of stuff (e.g., creating simple beats). I have zero knowledge about DAW/sampling and music in general (my background is in soft. engineering), so the first thing that I searched on Google is "open source daw" and I found LMMS (https://lmms.io/). I'm going through the documentation right now. Do you know... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Midi I/O vs USB

  Of course, you need some kind of DAW software in your PC that receives MIDI (from LPK), creates the audio data and sends them to Volt. If you have zero experience with this, start with some kind of simple and self-contained DAW, like e.g. "LMMS" (free download). Later you can graduate to more complex (and expensive) DAWs and separate VST plugins. Source: 10 months ago

• Linux for Video Editing and Photo Editing and Music DJ: Some idea?

  For music making, it kind of depends on what you use normally but LMMS is a decent free DAW. Source: 11 months ago

• My dual boot with windows 11 won't boot past intro screen or even into bios after failed attempt to fix frequent Kerbal panic.

  Give a try to Ardour, LMMS, MusE and Rosegarden. Source: 11 months ago

• Looking for some editing software

  Take a look at: Shotcut for video. Paint.NET for image editing. LMMS for your soundtrack. All free. Source: about 1 year ago
