VeeSeeVSTRack VS pipewire

There is also VeeSeeVSTRack https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack

Since some people don’t like the cathedral development style VCV rack uses, I point people to a fork of an older version of VCV rack with two features VCV rack 2 doesn’t have:

* It can run as a VST plugin, so one can use it with their favorite digital audio workstation (DAW)

* The code is BSD licensed

Here is that VST plugin fork: https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack#downloads

Hete is an old VST port I found. Haven't used it in a while so I don't know if it's stable: https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack

* The VST fork of VCVrack for a modular synth: https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack#downloads

I would get a keyboard controller with full sized keys and a 5-pin DIN MIDI out for just over $200, but that can come later.

Again, I prefer the fork at https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack#downloads because it’s a working VSTi, and because it’s under a BSD (not GPL) license, which has more flexibility in certain circumstances; I remember the arguments around 2001 or 2002 when there were concerns Python’s license was not “GPL compatible”, so I have always found GPL licenses pedantic.

Try vcvrack.com to get a handle on the basic principles.

I set up a drum beat and a pattern on a muted track to control this Eurorack simulator. https://vcvrack.com/

Since nobody else has mentioned it, you might want to try VCV Rack. It's a pretty good modular synth in software (bonus, it's free!). You can save and load complete patches, so it scratches that itch to recapture a complex configuration. Lots of good information in its dedicated subreddit.

If you don't know what PipeWire is (I didn't), it's an audio-video handler - it replaces things like PulseAudio.

Damn, your "audio server" seems to disagree with you.

PipeWire is a server and user space API to deal with multimedia pipelines. This includes:

I installed and configured pipewire according to the instructions from the Debian website. And let me tell you, it solved all my problems. The sound quality is good enough for practice, latency is very low. Currently, I just mute my guitar in YS, turn on ToneLib, adjust the volume on the system mixer, and play.
