While I successfully made a working package, I had no intention of uploading it to the Debian archives -- I felt that I didn't have enough experience to bother the Debian maintainers with my nonsense. Someone else, however, [did upload one!](https://salsa.debian.org/doge-tech/alsa-scarlett-gui). That version has since been included with the Debian 13 release. -Supported interfaces: -- Scarlett 1st Gen 6i6, 8i6, 18i6, 18i8, 18i20 -- Scarlett 2nd Gen 6i6, 18i8, 18i20 -- Scarlett 3rd Gen Solo, 2i2, 4i4, 8i6, 18i8, 18i20 -- Scarlett 4th Gen Solo, 2i2, 4i4, 16i16, 18i16, 18i20 -- Clarett 2Pre, 4Pre, 8Pre USB -- Clarett+ 2Pre, 4Pre, 8Pre -- Vocaster One and Vocaster Two - -## About - - - -All Focusrite USB audio interfaces are class compliant meaning that -they work “out of the box” on Linux as audio and MIDI interfaces -(although on Gen 3/4/Vocaster you need to disable MSD mode first for -full functionality). However, except for some of the smallest models, -they have a bunch of proprietary functionality that required a kernel -driver to be written specifically for those devices. - -Unfortunately, actually using this functionality used to be quite an -awful experience. The existing applications like `alsamixer` and -`qasmixer` become completely user-hostile with the hundreds of -controls presented for the Gen 3 18i20. Even the smallest Gen 3 4i4 -interface at last count had 84 ALSA controls. - -Announcing the ALSA Scarlett Control Panel, now supporting all -Scarlett Gen 1, 2, 3, 4, Clarett, and Vocaster USB interfaces! - -![Demonstration](img/demo.gif) - -## Documentation - -Refer to [INSTALL.md](docs/INSTALL.md) for prerequisites, how to -build, install, and run. - -Refer to [USAGE.md](docs/USAGE.md) for general usage information and -known issues. - -Information specific to various models: - -- [Scarlett 1st Gen](docs/iface-1st-gen.md) - -- [Scarlett 3rd Gen Solo and 2i2](docs/iface-small.md) - -- [Scarlett 2nd Gen 6i6+, 3rd Gen 4i4+, Clarett USB, and - Clarett+](docs/iface-large.md) - -- [Scarlett Small 4th Gen](docs/iface-4th-gen-small.md) - -- [Scarlett Big 4th Gen](docs/iface-4th-gen-big.md) - -## Donations - -This program is Free Software, developed using my personal resources, -over hundreds of hours. - -If you like this software, please consider a donation to say thank -you!
