Using BOSS GT-10 with Linux
Today I hooked up my BOSS GT-10 to my computer. And do you know what? It just works. So here's what I've tested so far:
- Ubuntu and Arch Linux
- Play it Slowly (of course!)
- Ardour / jack
Everything works as expected so far. There are some xruns when using jack at low latencies (~ 5ms). I guess one could get rid of them using a realtime kernel or some fiddling. But doesn't matter anyway because I do monitoring using the GT-10.
MIDI Support for the GT-10 seems to be included in the Linux Kernel since 2.6.28
I'll try to do some re-amping and midi later

I always wonder how many features the Linux-Kernel provides...

damn, right! never expected it to work at all, but just works fine without latency problems even when using gt10 for input und soundblaster for output with kubuntu / pulseaudio (didn't get jack to work on three different machines with four different distributions...) great! this makes my life easier.

btw: check out this great program for managing your patches: gtx.tinfoilmusic.net/GT10-download.html
it works out of the box and has a lot of cool features.
