[linux-audio-dev] Multi-port MIDI interfaces

by iroro

Hi, I'm looking for an "off-the-shelf" Multi-port MIDI interface, (Serial or USB) with some decent linux drivers. Anyone have any suggestions, advice, stories, pointers ?? ... i've googled but nothing interesting turned up. thanks! iroro -- --o0o------------------------------------------------------o0o-- Soon we will be together, writhing profitably on a bed of non-seasonal vegetables in equine bliss.

[linux-audio-dev] Cheap 8 channel Out: multi-IO or USB ? performance etc

by Benno Senoner

Hi, a friend of mine is building a system that plays sounds on different speakers (up to 8-10 mono channels ) based on certain input events such as light sensors and mechanical triggers. The audio quality does not need to be high. Latency can be as high as 100 msec. My question is what is the cheapest way to get 8-10 analogue outs. (consumer quality). I heard of USB speakers, could this be a valid solution ? Are they supported under linux ? If yes which kind of models ? Can one use multiple stereo USB speakers on the same USB bus ? e.g. CD quality stereo audio uses 1.4Mbit thus I was wondering how much channels one can reliably stream over USB so that there no dropouts occur ? Recent PCs have two USB outs, is this the same shared bus or can one max out the bandwidth on both ports simultaneously ? How about adding more USB cards, is this supported under Linux ? The other alternative would be to use a multi-io card with 8 or more channels or multiple 4 channel cards ? The Terratec EWS88 8-analogue channels out seems interesting but a bit expensive for my purpose. How about using 2 4-channel cards ? Which card would you suggest ? Hoontech ? Are these (or similar cards) still available ? Sorry for all these questions and thanks for infos ! cheers, Benno -- http://linuxsampler.sourceforge.net Building a professional grade software sampler for Linux.

[linux-audio-dev] mpu401 fifo scheduling on linux2.4.18

by Bruce M Beach

Hello All I'm sending some midi data to synthesizer for playback and it appears that the fifo /dev/midi (cmpci mpu401 driver) is not emptying as fast as it should(could), since the play back is highly irregular. Here are some numbers. 1) The timeing slice remains constant at 30 msec +/- 3usec, timed both at the beginning and end of the loop, so the irregularities are not due to loop variations. 2) A maximum of 64 bytes burst, with around 5 bytes normal and an average of 1 byte (say) (ie many slices do nothing) can occur during a slice, the buffer for the driver is 128 bytes with around a maximum capability of around 116 bytes transmitted per slice, so the midi channel can easily sustain the transmission rate at the rate I am sending information. 4) System load while the program is running is around 0.1% 5) The midi performance remains the same even if I do something like build the kernel, and untar some package say glibc at the same time. When I say irregular I mean, for instance on a run of 16th notes the notes will radically speed up and slow down. The notes all have the correct pitches and voice changes etc. are all happening correctly. Just this strange tempo problem. Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome. Bruce

[linux-audio-dev] disk latency under 2.4.19 ll+preempt

by jfm3

I'm running the low latency and preemption kernel patches on 2.4.19. I'm getting disk copy latency of around 10ms. Since I'm a real time person (according to M. Goggins) who doesn't use the hd in real time, I can live with this, but it bugs me. I've tried ext2 and ext3, no difference. Any other tips?

[linux-audio-dev] libsndfile failure

by Miha Tomsic

Hello! I keep getting strange problems with libsndfile 1.0.1 lib. I first noticed it running sweep and then I went back to libsndfile source and tried out ht etests and they die at reading wav files. josef:/usr/src/libsndfile-1.0.1/tests$ ./write_read_test wav pcm_test_char : char.wav .......... Line 314: sf_open (SFM_RDWR) failed : File contains data in an unimplemented format. josef:/usr/src/libsndfile-1.0.1/tests$ ./misc_test wav update_header_test : header.wav ........ Line 175: sf_open (SFM_RDWR) failed : File contains data in an unimplemented format. I don't remember having any problems with libsndfile apps before and I don't remember changing anything on my box lately. Any ideas what to do and what to check? Thanks and take care, Miha...
