Studio 13.37 3.2 is out!
It's a brand new version of Studio 13.37!
The latest and greatest multimedia software that Linux has to offer, 64-bit, with a custom realtime kernel, automatic system tuning at boot, everything all set up for you, like wineasio, rt-prio and virtual midi ports. Dark theme, custom UI.
Comes with WINE-staging for 32-bit Windows rt capability. New REAPER for Linux, as well as a script for downloading and installing the Windows version, if you prefer. Compatible with BitWig and most (if not all) 64-bit Ubuntu packages.
Built on the new and exciting BionicPup64 micro-Linux, it's fast, smooth, reliable, and light on resources. It's beautiful, user-friendly, virus-proof, Space Age technology, with no bullshit.
Unleash the Power of Linux!
As usual, free copies available to customers and friends.

That sounds interesting!virtual midi ports
Do I understand this right, assuming I could have 32 or even more midi channels
by e.g. using 16 channels from ZynAddSubFx and then again 16 channels from
Yoshimi (both with different sound setup)?
How is this done?
Is there any software to install to apply such virtual midi ports to my BionicPup Art Studio?
Congratulations
Congratulations !!
This must be the best looking Puppy ever !
Impressed by the fact that you are able to continue turning a puppy base (*) into a professional product. Even if you don't make a lot of money (at 49.99) it is a professional looking product and commercial.
I am not a music producter or even amateur, but if I where, I would like to invest in this product...

(*) puppy changes by the motivation of it's authors, so it is not a reliable base to work from, like Ubuntu.

Bravo l0wt3ch,
Bionic studio would have sound great too!
Funny how leet got that nice historic hacking related stories to it too!
i wish you all the success you deserve with it.

Timidity has that many options, I couldn't find a way, to let it run in background. Could you post the your startup script as an example?l0wt3ch wrote:Hey Mersh,
What you do is add a startup script so timidity starts in the background. Then you can set up your other apps to automatically use the virtual midi ports timidity creates.
Hope that helps!
Thanks.modprobe snd_virmidi
This has added 4 virtual midi ports by default.
After adding three midi buses to Qtractor I could connect midi out of separate tracks to specified midi ports in.
Connected the midi ports out to different synthesizers (ZynAdd, Yoshimi, Hydrogen, AmSynth).
No matter what I've tried I didn't get any sounds from the connected synthesizers.
I haven't used the synthesizers from plugins tab.
They were started as additional instances to the sequencer.
However, It looks like I probably understood the virtual midi ports the wrong way:
After adding a new midi bus (master2) to Qtractor I could connect the Qtractor midi outs separately to the preferred synthesizer.
E.g.:
- two midi tracks
- both on channel 4
- one using midi output master connected to zynaddsubfx
- the other using midi output master2 connected to yoshimi
- both synthesizers have different sounds on channel 4 (Piano, Guitar)
- dependend on the active track in qtractor only the sound from yoshimi (Guitar) or zynaddsubfx (Piano) can be played/heard
And that's exactly what I was looking for.
So, what's the virtual midi ports really intended/used for?

@ Volhout: Cheers! I appreciate the kind words.
@ Revolverve: Thanks! Do you want a copy?
@ Ciento: What would I do without you, buddy? Thanks for supporting Studio 13.37 all these years.
@ RSH: It's handy if you don't have a midi card. Just another option, I guess.
To start timidity in the background, just add a script to /root/startup with this:
timidity -iA

Hi.
I had a first quick test and view into Studio 13.37.
Some programs like Simple Screen Recorder are still installed,
but they don't appear in the Openbox menu. When switching to
JWM it's back in the menu, but all the JACK programs are missed
in the menu.
Just a (two) question(s) - no criticism:
Why does a GNU/Linux Audio Studio needs to have Wine installed?
Wouldn't it be better to keep it GNU/Linux only and to put all the
Wine stuff incl. its additional programs into a .sfs module?

Hi RSH,
There's actually 3 separate menus, the one on the dock, the lxpanel menu, and the openbox menu. They're all entirely different, they just look similar. The music apps are grouped into a separate JACK subcategory, but I didn't put that in the jwm menu.
As for WINE, Studio 13.37 has always had it, so it's partly tradition, I guess. It lets you run Windows music production apps and VST's. Having WINE pre-installed also lets me pre-configure REAPER audio settings with wineasio, should someone desire to execute the download script.

Hi.
Thanks for the reply.
As usual I'm going to customize the menus as I do usually in all my Systems.
They all have a separate JACK menu which is named: Music Production.
Also I think I'm going to remove the wine stuff and moving it into a
separate .sfs - just to make sure I would need it some day.
Though I doubt this will happen for doing music.
