pyCarla

A python module for synthesizing MIDI events and files from python code with using any kind of audio plugin!

See docs <https://pycarla.readthedocs.org>_ for more installation and more info.

TLDR

Python has no strong real-time capabilities since it cannot run with parallel threads. This method delegates most of the realtime stuffs to external C/C++ programs, improving the performances and the accuracy against pure-Python based approaches.

This method is really portable and supports almost any type of plugins and virtual instruments thanks to the excellent Carla:

. Linux VST2/VST3

. Windows VST2/VST3

. LV2

. LADSPA

. DSSI

. AU

. SF2/SF3

. SFZ

. Any other format supported by external plugins

If you need help, please open an issue <https://github.com/LIMUNIMI/pycarla/issues/new/choose> or create a discussion <https://github.com/LIMUNIMI/pycarla/discussions/new?category=q-a>.

TODO

For sure

#. Add single function to synthesize midi file
#. Add single function to batch-synthesize midi files
#. Make synchronization handling xruns (edit `is_ready`)
#. Update Carla
#. refactoring with a generic `start` method in `JackClient` and 
   specific methods `get_callback` and `get_duration`

Maybe

. Use Carla python code to control Carla host

. Support LADISH sessions for automatically starting LinuxSampler if needed

. Installation scripts for windows and mac
