`alsa-scarlett-gui` is a Gtk4 GUI for the ALSA controls presented by

- Upstream project here: https://github.com/geoffreybennett/alsa-scarlett-gui
|
||||||
the three Linux kernel Focusrite USB drivers:
|
- Debian's packaged version here: https://salsa.debian.org/doge-tech/alsa-scarlett-gui

|
||||||
- Scarlett 1st Gen Driver for ALSA
|
This fork of the repo was started so I could write a Debian package manifest for the program. 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.

I'm archiving this repo because it is redundant with that package. I want to keep it around as something I made, while also making it clear that this project is dead.

## 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!
