Linking SuperCollider with QmidiArp and Patroneo seems to work

[grammoboy2]

FYI: Not sure how much Link is used on Linux, but I successfully linked SuperCollider with QmidiArp via jack_link.

what about qtractor, the original raison d'être for this thing ?

I've just a limited amount of time to test and I'm mainly interested in apps that do looping. But maybe you are able to tell me how qtractor works with Link? :)

Would certainly be cool if it worked.

qtractor of course works, it was the earliest of test-beds for jack_link anyway.

Great work! Will test.

Which application do you use to control the tempo of Link for Qtractor?

[rncbc]

jack_link is a two-way bridge:

1. qtractor sets jack-timebase (eg. current tempo/bpm) => jack_link => Link;
2. some Link peer sets tempo/bpm => jack_link => qtractor.

Qtractor seems to sync well with supercollider too via jack_link. Midi clips did certainly work, audio too I think, but it was a bit more difficult to verify, because I lack Qtractor skills atm. Looping seems to run smooth. It sometimes takes a while till they're synced, Ableton Link is not perfect for tempo changes, this is also what the supercollider documentation says.
