Yes swami could be improved but is a good starting point in sampling editing [1][2]. It could be posted a tutorial on oneshotsampler about creating good Gigafile instead of simple wave file. If linuxaudio consortuim could give the hardware infrastructure for hosting Gigafiles in oneshotsampler we could have an usable sampling free software/free sampler banks infrastructure in linux (like gigastudio and sampletank in windows), hoping that Swami will improve as SoundFont 2.0, DLS and GigaSampler frontend editor/manager. What do u think about this solution? Cheers, Stefano [1]http://swami.sourceforge.net/ [2]http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6272148&forum_id=8…

[Fervent Software] Fervent Software News

by fervent＠ukfsn.org

Fervent News - Friday 18th March 2005 Fervent Software's Linux-based music studio software is proving a hit for music producers, composers and artists from all around the world. "Studio to Go!" is a music studio on a CD that provides the ability to compose, record and mix on any PC without having to install any software. Fervent Software is proud to be a member of Schoolforge UK and attended a recent meeting in the Midlands to talk about Linux, open source and software strategy for schools in the UK. Other attendees included Sun and HP as well as representatives from schools, the Department for Skills and Education and BECTA (responsible for driving technology usage in schools). Fervent will be attending a second Schoolforge meeting in April 2005 to further drive the awareness of open source solutions in schools. Next month also sees Fervent Software appearing on the Linux Audio stand at the upcoming Sounds Expo in Wembley, London on the 14th-16th April 2005: http://www.sounds-expo.co.uk/ This is the second time the Fervent team have appeared at the Sounds Expo, having helped to sponsor and run a very successful stand last year. Again this year we'll be showing off the best of breed Linux Audio applications and spreading awareness under the banner of LinuxAudio.org. Fervent Software welcomes resellers from around the world to help spread the word about Linux Audio and Studio to Go! If you'd like to become a sales partner, please get in touch through the Fervent website or by emailing us at: sales(a)ferventsoftware.com Until next time, happy composing from all at Fervent Software! http://www.ferventsoftware.com About Studio to Go! ------------------- Fervent Software's "Studio to Go!" runs entirely from the CD and requires no configuration, no specialist Linux knowledge and doesn't affect any software already on the computer. Compositions can be saved to a portable storage device such as a USB key or any other internal or external hard drive. "Studio to Go!" is a revolutionary product based on the famously stable Linux[tm] operating system and consists of specially selected open-source music software. You can plug in a MIDI capable keyboard or guitar and view your performance as score - you can then edit this on-screen, manipulate it and print it out. You can record, edit and arrange audio performances, add effects, mix down, master and even burn a CD all using the software provided on the CD - all without any installation! "Studio to Go!" makes it simple to record and arrange music and provides unparalleled power, stability and compatibility at an amazing price of £49.99 including world-wide shipping and 30 days product support. The software provides everything the modern composer, arranger, music student or mix engineer needs to get recording on the go! It's as well suited for use in the studio as it is for working composers, home-based musicians, schools and colleges (where educational discounts apply). You can find out more about the amazing "Studio to Go!" product at the Fervent Software website: http://www.ferventsoftware.com Or email: info(a)ferventsoftware.com Other links ----------- For more details about SchoolForge UK see: http://www.schoolforge.org.uk For more information about Linux Audio.org: http://www.linuxaudio.org -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: linuxsampler and oneshotsampler

Hi Blue, > Can linuxaudio consortium help to join forces between > linuxsampler[1] and this repository of free samples[2] (i think > that actually is one of the biggest free sample site) so we can > have on linux something usable similar to sampletank[3]. > [1]http://www.linuxsampler.org/ > [2]http://www.oneshotsamples.com/ > [3]http://www.sampletank.com/ I'm not familiar with the internals of the gigasampler format, but I'm guessing that it must be possible to make these files from WAVs provided by One Shot Samples. From that website I can see that the maximum sample size allowed appears to be 512kb, whereas gigasampler files can be very large - but they could be a start. If you would like to help out with this, why not email the Linux Sampler and One Shot Samples projects and suggest that they both become members of linuxaudio.org? It doesn't cost them anything. (A couple of Linux Sampler developers also work on other projects which are existing members). I also note the Linux Sampler project has asked for suggestions regarding sample sources: http://www.linuxsampler.org/instruments.html One Shot Samples seems like an obvious link to put there, particularly since the founder of the site is now a Linux user, and the samples appear to be in the public domain.

AMD to sponsor linuxaudio.org stand at Sounds Expo

by Daniel James

Hello all, AMD has offered significant sponsorship which will allow linuxaudio.org to have a stand at the Sounds Expo music technology trade show in London, 14-16 April 2005. This will be our second exhibit at Sounds Expo, following generous sponsorship from the AGNULA project last year. As you may know, AMD has worked closely with the Linux development community to ensure that Linux can run natively on its 64-bit x86 processors. There is also at least one shipping Linux-based pro audio product on the market with an AMD processor inside. I will be at Sounds Expo in person, but other people who can help on the stand are also needed, mostly to answer questions about Linux and libre software from musicians, sound engineers and hardware manufacturers. It need not be for all three days - if you can help out on just one day, that would be great. This is a great opportunity to once again put libre audio software directly in front of the target users, so please help if you can. Cheers! Daniel James Director http://linuxaudio.org

Hi Tim, > Happy New Year.

Bristol is not a bad location, as it goes - better than the Isle of Wight, which I had thought about. It would be more difficult/expensive for most people to get to, wheras Bristol is quite accessible. > He reckons the Trinity Centre could be made available > for little or nothing and is after an idea of suitable dates. Obviously we > don't want to clash with the ZKM LAD conf or any of the London Linux Expo > type stuff April has both the Sounds Expo and the ZKM conference - probably too early as well. There is only one Linux Expo this year and it is in October. A good resource for planning events is http://www.linuxcalendar.com/ If you want to attract students and other young people, it might be a good idea to hold it over the summer holiday period, as long as it doesn't clash with any of the festivals. > I'd really value your thoughts on the matter It might be a good idea to bill it as a user-focused event with some acessible talks from developers. The ZKM conference is primarily a developer event and there isn't much point in duplicating that, even if it is in a different country. I'd have the main sessions over a weekend so that people with jobs they can't get away from will be able to attend at least some of the sessions. There should also be a jam session/DJ'ing/VJ'ing event. > We have a mailing list here : > http://lists.serverone.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/3avc-discuss > that Ben has set up for group mailings. Right, I'll join that today. Are you aiming to get sponsorship for this event? Cheers Daniel

Libre software audio residency in the UK

by Daniel James

INVITATION TO TENDER OSAudio residency [Audio artist/producer/composer in residence at Access Space, April 2005] Deadline for applications: 4th Feb 2005 Decision made and applicants informed mid Feb 2005. Fee: £3500 sterling (approx 5000 Euros @ 6th Jan 2005) Access Space, Sheffield's lowtech digital arts organisation, is currently calling for applications for a month-long, audio residency. Access Space is a free media lab in Sheffield's Cultural Industries Quarter, offering open access to people with a range of knowledge and experience of technology. We are looking for an artist to develop their project using the recycled/reclaimed "redundant" technology and open-source software available in Access Space. The aims of the residency are: 1] To offer an artist/producer/composer the chance to develop ideas using only open-source software (on the Linux operating system) in a supportive environment. 2] To offer the users of Access Space an introduction to the creative process of making new work. 3] To produce a finished piece of work (see below for further details). The Residency: The OSAudio residency will take place in April 2005 (exact times/dates to be agreed). The successful applicant will get the opportunity to work for one month (or 20-day equivalent) in Access Space's open environment, with a degree of technical support and advice available from Access Space staff. As part of the residency, the artist will run 2 workshop sessions relating to the work involved in their residency, and an informal presentation for Access Space participants and members of the public. The resident will also document their residency in the form of an online diary. Available software includes the Planet CCRMA software, with PD, Rosegarden, Ardour, Jack, Audacity, Supercollider Server etc etc. Applicants should consider that part of Access Space's ethos is to only use recycled/donated hardware. Therefore, the available hardware is a P3 800Mhz machine with Sound Blaster sound card. The majority of the work-time will be monitored using headphones, due to Access Space being a publicly accessible project. The Work: We hope to encourage a broad range of applications covering all types of audio production, be they electronica, sound art, or more traditional recording practices using open-source software. Proposals can be to produce one or more specific audio works, or for development of patches, code or software. However, the resident should aim to have a completed product within the duration of the residency. The finished work will then be available for download from the internet. The Fee: A fee of £3,500 will be offered to the successful applicant, subject to the successful completion of the residency. A small contribution towards travel and accommodation expenses may be available where appropriate. How to submit your proposal: Please email or post us a proposal, of not more than 2 sides of A4 plus your CV, including details of your experience of working with open-source music software, your reason for applying, the starting point/s for your project and how you would approach the commission. Access Space welcomes applications from all sectors of the community irrespective of age, disability, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. Please address the following points in your application: 1 - what form the finished work would take. 2 - how you propose to engage with the participants at Access Space. 3 - how much technical support would you need. 4 - how feasible is your project in the time available. 5 - what makes using open-source software particularly appropriate for your project? For more information, questions regarding hard/software, or to mail your proposal: Access Space 1a Sidney Street Sheffield S1 4RG UK 0114 2495522 www.access-space.org access(a)access-space.org Access Space is UK registered charity no: 1103837 Access Space gratefully acknowledges financial support from the PRS Foundation, Arts Council England (Yorkshire), and Digital South Yorkshire.
