8 channel sound card control thru software?

**pcpete** · 02-08-2010, 01:16 PM

Cool...I've played with reaper and other daw recently...reaper is definately the best bang for the buck....however i really prefer the patch bay type interface like audiomulch...just to damn expensive...

I've recently discovered Pure Data ... http://puredata.info/ .... basically an open source daw/console with unlimited flexibility!! It even takes vst plugins...it is based/similar to the commercial sw Max/MSP....

Anyway not to ramble on....I am now running it instead of audiomulch with no probs yet...very light on resources too...

I have also integrated a Novation Nocturn ( http://us.novationmusic.com/products/nocturn?option=1 ) midi surface with my patch to control anything I want...at a low driver level...when i adjust the sliders on the screen it also updates the encoder's led's...

I am building my own midi controller based on this project .. http://www.ucapps.de/ so that i can place knobs and sliders ( motorised too! ) anywhere i need them..

So basically , I am now trying to build a Pure Data based custom console for 3 way front stage and sub processing (xover/gains/eq/phase and TA) with rr integration and midi control surface integration.... all open source ...wish me luck

PCPete,

Would you post a tutorial on how to get PD up and running as a "console replacement" item. Looks like it would take less system resources.

Thanks
Hans

No problem Hans, I was planning on creating a new post once I had streamlined/tested things a little better....I also posted some questions on pd's forum .... hopefully have something over the weekend...I could post my patch if you want it...

I will be honest, and I dont quite understand how PD works yet, and if your patch would help configure my system. I like the gui functionality of console, but not the bloat. When you figure it all out, posting a guide on how to get the standard routing and VST hosting capability would be greatly appreciated.
