| If you get a lot of xruns or crashes from patchage, your jackd daemon isn't started correctly, and the line in ~/.jackdrc should be changed. A last resort for help on getting this right is the linux audio developers channel on irc.freenode.net, | If you get a lot of xruns or crashes from patchage, your jackd daemon isn't started correctly, and the line in ~/.jackdrc should be changed.

| There probably are more things on the canvas, but you can ignore them. System capture and playback is what represents your physical microphone and speakers. You can test them by connecting them without going through ams. Blue is audio, green is midi. When you're done, you won't need to mind patchage anymore for this tutorial. | There probably are more things on the canvas, but you can ignore them.

| + | Its goal is to emulate an analogue synth, so learning about one will also help you know the other. Voltage and resistance are replaced by floating point variables, but the emulation is quite accurate, actually. | ||

| + | This stands for Midi Controlled Voltage. This is where the signals from vkeybd go to and can be sent to other modules. | ||

| + | This one mixes two inputs and turns it into 1 signal. Useful for turning stereo into mono. | ||
