Trying out Bristol Voyager with Kurzweil PC3 on Fedora 12/64

Linux running a synthesizer program, steered with sliders from the PC3 and playing in parallel with that synth, having the audios digitally mixed. Fun to assign random sliders from the PC3 to any of the knobs on the great Bristol software simulation, in this case of the Moog voyager analog synthesizer.

The screen is a HD screen with 5 meters dvi/hdmi extension, the Linux is Fedora 12/64 on a Pentium D 3GHz with 9500 NVidia card, the MIDI is connected by USB to the Kurzweil, and connected via automated qjackctl, the sound was very soft (sleep time after the wall...) coming from a Lexicon MX400 adding some reverberation effects and using it´s excellent 24 bit DA converters on my big monitoring system. The Kurzweils´ sound is taken in digitally via a Lexicon Omega acting as TOS interface, and the PC3 is sample clock-synced, and mixed using jack with the softsynth.

The audio in the recording is camera mic, with lots of computer noise and somehow ffmpeg converted to aac with weird compression effects, but it was a quickly done recording (about an hour, including youtube upload..).

Finally someone showing the midi over usb capability. Tired of seeing all of these progressive solo vids. Would like to see more in depth vid of this feature though. I am thinking about getting one of these as a midi controller. How do you like the keys? Thanks.

Neat... I have a PCR-500 controller, and I cannot use my sliders and knobs to control bristol. Where/How did you found which MIDI signal controls each control in each patch?

Neat..
