3 months ago Hello! The idea is awesome! Why I didn't that before? Actually, right now to run the thing it's need to run the AdlJack / AdlRt (runs both libADLMIDI and libOPNMIDI inside) program that will run its GUI (not daemonized, just manually ran). Now I want to make the thing splitted into next parts:
- The daemon itself.
- The GUI frontend that will communicate the running libADLMIDI and allows to change its setup on the fly.
P.S. I always worked on Linux environment all the time and running Windows very rare. Just had to accept that it's just AdlRt thing as "it just works". But actually I should turn it into separate daemon and GUI, just to don't run it manually every time when I run Sekaiju or something also that uses raw MIDI output.
It'd be great to have a sequencer daemon like Timidity or FluidSynth provide for Linux. This is basically equivalent to the WinMM driver.
There admittedly aren't a whole lot of Linux apps with native MIDI support, but a notable example is Wine--and some retro windows apps run much better in wine than on modern windows.
