Hello fedifriends, i found a keyboard in my basement it has a midi port and i would love to start producing music. I do not know where to start. Which Programm would you recommend, which way to connect the keyboard do my linux laptop? What do i need to think about before buying anything? Thanks a lot for every idea!
koala sampler supports midi input from the keyboard. $5 on android or ipad.
if you really want to get into the linux audio stack i wish you luck. there’s a ton of synths that support midi OOB. ardour is the only DAW still being updated.
What model is the keyboard?
Yamaha EZ-200. In the comments i was recommended reaper and it looks pretty good. Will try that first and if i don’t like it i’ll look info ardour.
You’ll want a MIDI adapter for your DAW.
Try Bitwig too! It’s kind of laid out like Ableton. It’s paid but there are rent to own options.
