Adding Jack Rack FXs to gigsampler sounds
Adding Jack Rack FXs to gigsampler sounds
Hi there
Do you think it might be possible in the future to add some feature that loads FX with your sounds?
At the moment in Linux I open e.g an electric piano.gig sample and then I need to manually open the effect in Jack Rack to go with the electric piano (which happens to be a phaser with distortion)
It would be nice if this could be done without having to constantly go back to the mouse in Jack Rack....
As an example it would be great if you could execute a script on loading a sound in Linux Sampler.......so when I open ( for example) my organ.gig Linux Sampler then opens the Jack rack effect 'lesley.rack' or whatever it may be. That way you could sort of automate saving FX with the sound.
It's not so bad in windows as you have vst hosts programs.....like Forte or Chainer....they make this possible.
What I want is to be able to send a program change to Linuxsampler that says 'load this sound and load these fx all in one go' . Is this possible please?
I've used Lash but it doesn't let you do this really.............any advice please?
Thanks.

Re: Adding Jack Rack FXs to gigsampler sounds
Go and vote for LADSPA effect support in the (almost) monthly "Features you want to see implemented next?".
I'm using LinuxSampler and Ardour. All I have to do is open my saved LSCP template in LinuxSampler and my mixdown template with all effects and routings in Ardour.

Thanks Anders for getting back to me. I have just cast my vote. Fingers crossed eh!
Re: Adding Jack Rack FXs to gigsampler sounds
I've just had a thought. To make life easy (not to have to recode everything for fx) couldn't you just say 'when Linux sampler issues a program change 'run this script'. That way you could e.g get Linux sampler to open a jack rack effect you've saved after it's opened the main instrument. It's a bit like when jack starts (qjackctl) and you can get it to run a script on startup.........am I making sense? It would be an easy thing to implement....(I assume!)
Re: Adding Jack Rack FXs to gigsampler sounds
Of course this might be useful for some. And it would be pretty easy to implement as well. We could introduce a new LSCP command which registers executable files as hooks for arbitrary sampler events. E.g.:
and respectively:
The event details could be passed as command line parameters or probably better via std input.
Code: Select all
SUBSCRIBE EXECUTABLE '/home/me/myscript.sh' <event-type>
Code: Select all
UNSUBSCRIBE EXECUTABLE '/home/me/myscript.sh' <event-type>
Re: Adding Jack Rack FXs to gigsampler sounds
That would be great if you could do that.........I like to use Linux sampler without the mouse and keyboard (Just to play keyboards) and being able to tag on an effect would make all the difference. And the nice thing about Jack Rack is the fact you can midi control all the effects.Adding this would make Linux sampler more like a multitimbral workstation with fx.......so much of a pleasure not to have to use windows as well.
Thanks for listening!

Maybe file it as enhancement wish in our bug tracking system (bugs.linuxsampler.org). Otherwise it might get forgotten.
