Hello Andy!
What kind of sound are you looking for in general? More of an analogue synth
sound, a real piano or what?
In general you can record a piece with rosegarden or any other of the big
MIDI sequencers. They would record knob and slider movements from a MIDI
keyboard, while it is played. You might also record some controller movements
in a seperate track and use them to control some kind of effect plugin, so
this would be in the audio domain, in the sense, that the effect (filter or
whateve) is an audio plugin and not part of the MIDI synth you use to generate
the sound.
For good pianos you might use LinuxSampler with one of the free grandpianos
(or a bought one). I think LinuxSampler also has a simple filter. For some of
the basic "effects" like filter, volume and portamento there are standard
controls. I think even for a simple volume ADSR, but I'm not sure LinuxSampler
reacts to them.
If you want to go synth, then the field is big. You have some DSSI plugins,
you have Bristol, which is nice, because you can attach a certain controller
on your keyboard to a certain parameter of the synth. There's Yoshimi which is
a purely waveform based synth. It specialises in lovely pads, choirs and the
like.
I think if your MIDI controls, used during the original performance, don't
correspond to the MIDI controls needed for your final synth tweaking, you
might be able to map them in a good MIDI sequencer or using some kind of MIDI
filter/mapper.
You really should be able to find the software you need on Linux. It only
depends on what you need exactly.
Kind regards
Julien
