I want to put together a stack for hobbyist midi music composition. I understand there are a few more components to it than one might expect, but I think VMPK and Qtracer are going to be part of it?
Any tutorial links or suggestions appreciated!

Whatever you end up using, have JACK sync 'em up. I used to have two Macs, one for recording with Nuendo and one for doing MIDI sequencing and programming. They synced via MIDI sync and there was always issues. Now I have everything on one Linux machine (Ardour records and mixes, Reaper sequences MIDI and Renoise does beats and other sampling related stuff) and with JACK the sync is seamless <3
i am trying to figure out how to configure JACK, a 32 key M-Audio Keystation, Surge XT, and Ardour and it is very challenging to figure out, i should have gone to school for this i guess
I did! John Marley Centre for Music and Media 2000-'02 represent :3 It was still 2" tape and patching outboard at the time though.
Signal (https://github.com/ryohey/signal, https://signal.vercel.app/edit) is generally what I use for midi composition! it’s usable in a web browser, and rather good.
wait what da heck this seems very simple and fun to use. Is it good for mixing + mastering as well?
It’s just for midi! I recommend using other tools for that purpose.
this is a very cool app
