Keystrokes per port.

I have a question Rui, about the feasability of this.

Can we, or is it possible to assign a qwerty keystroke for midi ports in qjackctl?

Here's the project case.

I have 1 midi keyboard, and 10 linuxsampler ports.
I'd like to assign a keystroke for the midi keyboard, and a key stroke for each of the linusampler ports.

Then i'd like to connect and disconnect ports using the keystrokes.

This is for a simple setup, of 1 midi keyboard, 10 Linuxsampler ports, and a recording device.
I'd like to be able to switch ports quickly, and record the audio straight out of LS, without using a sequencer to switch ports.

Is this possible?

Alex.

There's no such keyboard shortcut facilities in QjackCtl. Sorry :(

However, I can think on one practical solution: like using the infamous, underrated Patchbay!

Let's see... You can set and save one patchbay profile with each linuxsampler port, always connected to the common midi keyboard port and in exclusive mode.

Note that there will be several patchbay profiles that you can switch/activate as you like. You certainly need at least two point-and-clicks to make a profile switch, not quite the solution you're after, but hey, it's an idea that you can put to use right now :)

Aha, and once you learn the power of the QjackCtl Patchbay I believe you'll be surprised why you overlooked it all this time :))

Byee
