Hi,
Can anybody give me a link/document which gives the details about Timidity
code. Since, I have recently started working on audio software
(particularly, Timidity for PDAs :) ) I would like to know the logic
behind the code. Atleast you can send me something that explains MIDI in detail.
Thanks a lot :-)
Best regards,
Ravishankar
Hello,
DRC 2.3.0 has been released and it is avalilable at:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/drc/
Changes: This release adds two parameters to control the gain-limiting
procedures. These parameters control a sort of "soft clipping" of the
frequency response, avoiding ringing on abrupt truncations. A new parameter
to select the magnitude type of the target frequency response (either
linear or expressed in dB) has been added. The ability to perform
microphone compensation has also been added. The license has been switched
to the GPL.
Bye,

Hi,
I'd like to program a "player piano" under GNU/Linux for OSS/Lite. All it would
do is play MIDI files and light up a song's notes on a graphical keyboard.
Unfortunately, my old SB16 sound card does not have AWE support and its Yamaha
OPL3 FM synthesizer support sounds very inorganic. Hence, I'm looking for a way
to use a "software sequencer" (like Timidity.) I tried Fluidsynth, but it causes
midis to break up on my computer.
Here are my questions:
1. Is is possible to have a previously written player for OSS (such as SDL Mixer
or Timidity) play a stream in the background, and I somehow "read into" what
notes are being played at every moment so I can light up the correct piano key?
Unfortunately, Timidity is stand-alone; that is, is has no developmental
libraries.
2. If not, then are there any "software sequencer" (MIDI to WAV) programming
*interfaces* out there that do not require ALSA (that is, that use OSS)?
Thanks In Advance,
Sincerely,
Sean
CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
Dear Freind
I am compelled to write you this letter due to the situation
that my former boss,the estranged president of Liberia,President Charles
Taylor is facing domestically and internationally.My name is JEFF
WALTERS,A friend and trusted aide to his excellency since he took over thereign of government
till the year 2002 just because i know much about precious stones.In september of last year,his
excellency in his usual manner struck alucrative deal with a South African precious stone
miner/dealer;MrTacquel Euelfor Diamond stone valued at the sum of forty-two million united states
dollars only.(USD$42).This was part of his numerous/illicit deals on precious stones that runs
into hundreds of million of dollars and of several civil strife and was in Sierra leone and
Angola.As usual,i was meant to be the faciliator of this deal after which the lodgement of the
proceeds therefrom would be made to one of his very many coded bank accounts in Switzerland {some
now frozen by Swiss athorities}.I had to think twice about that because all the previous deal i
had with him,he took almost the whole income into his various foreign accounts.
This made me to suggest to him about depositing the money into a
security company in a trunk box as a diplomatic cargo to provide immunity for it anytime we want
to move the consignment.
The consignment is deposited as family treasure with diplomatic
immunity.Right now i'm in Nigeria {including his excellency,as he was granted asylum by Nigerian
goverment} and planning to move out when i finalise outstanding issues with him (Charles).
The present dilenma,problem and stepping down of his excellency from
power has given me the oppurtunity to convince him into clearing
the deposit and bank his share in any account of his choice.I want to make something clear to
you,i'm not going to give a penny to Charles when i clear this consignment because he has enough
and i want to send 50% of the money to Liberia and Sierra leone for building of hospitals and
schools in their country.They really suffered under him and it's still affecting the lifes of
people down there.I want you to assist me
and i will share the remaining 50% with you.
I will explain the procedure on how to go about this transaction,the moment you declare your full
interest to assist. You can reach me through my private email address:(jeffwalters@post.cz).
I await your full co-operation to assist the victims of war.
Remain Blessed.
Regards
MR JEFF WALTERS
What is the formula for calculating latency in Jack? For example, I
start jackd with a period size of 256 and 2 periods, a sample rate of
44100. Using a mic input and FreqTweak, that's pretty close to
inaudible latency to my ears. How do I calculate the actual ms value
of that?
I apologize if information is readily available. I couldn't find it.
Thanks,
Greg

Goodday,
Please I am Master Sonny Laye, the only son of late
chief Joseph Alfred Laye from
Sierra Leone.I know that my message will come to you
as a surprise to you but
however, I am writing you in absolute confidence
primarily to seek your
assistance to transfer our cash of nine million
eight hundred thousand dollars
($9,800,000) now in the custody of a BANK here in
Abidjan to your private
account pending our arrival to your country.
SOURCE OF THE MONEY
My late father, chief Joseph Alfred Laye , a native
of mende district in the
Northern province of Sierra Leone, was the general
Manager of Sierra Leone
mining co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown. According
to my father. This money was
the income acquired from mining co-operation's over
draft and minor sales.
Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels
forces of major Paul Koroma
and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping
operation that almost destroyed
My country, following the forceful removal from
power of the Civilian Elected
President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels. My
father had already made
arrangement for his family, my mother, my little
sister and myself to be
evacuated to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire with our
personal effects.
My father deposited the fund in the BANK until after
the war when he will join
us. During the war in my country, and following
the indiscriminate looting of
public and Government properties by the rebel
forces, the sierra Leone mining
coop. Was one of the targets looted and destroyed.
My father including other top
Government functionaries Were attacked and killed by
the rebels in November 1999
because of his relationship with the civilian
Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah.
As a result of my
father death, and with the news of my uncles
involvement in air crash in
January, dashed
our hope of survival. The untimely deaths caused my
mothers heart failure and
other related complications of which she later died
in the hospital After we
must have spent a lot of money on her.
Now my 16-year-old sister and myself are alone in
this strange country suffering
without any care or help. Without any relation, we
are now like refugees and
orphans. Our only hope now is in this fund which our
father deposited in the
BANK To this effect, I humbly solicit your
assistance in the followings ways. To
assist me claim this fund from the BANK as
co-beneficiary. To transfer this
money in your name to your country.
To make a good arrangement for a joint business
investment on our behalf in your
country and you being the caretaker. To secure a
college for my little sister
and my self
in your country to further our education. And to
make arrangement for our travel
to meet you face to face in your country after you
have transferred this fund.
Most importantly. The whole documents issued after
deposit are in my custody.
For your assistance, I
beg to concede 20% of this money to you for your
efforts and assistance.
Please include your phone/fax number on reply.so
that i can send all the necessary documents to you.
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards,
SonnyLaye and Sister.
I am looking for a good set of portable, supported atomic.h-style
primitives for userspace applications. I am not especially interested
in the low-level functions defined in <asm/atomic.h>. I really want
something more powerful like the kernel's compare_and_swap(),
cmpxchg(), test_and_set(), atomic_inc_and_return(), or fetch_and_add()
primitives. My intuition is that almost everything of interest could
be programmed out with a good compare_and_swap() or cmpxchg()
implementation.
These should work on most hardware platforms and operating systems, at
least as many as are possible and practical. They should work well
with both multithreaded UP and SMP. They need to work across multiple
process address spaces with shared memory. I would normally want to
avoid releasing different application binaries for UP and SMP.
They should be realtime-safe, which means that programming things out
using posix_spin_lock(), etc., is probably not good enough, except
perhaps as a generic solution to handle hard-to-support platforms.
While my needs are not unique to Linux audio, many audio applications
probably share them. So, I wonder what other people here on LAD are
doing.
All I've found so far are...
(*) kernel implementations of <asm/atomic.h> and <asm/system.h>.
These were written for kernel use, though some also work in
userspace. At least most platforms are probably fairly well
tested.
But, I prefer to avoid using kernel header files in application
code, mostly for portability and maintenance reasons.
Distributions handle them in non-standard ways, making it hard
to explain to users how to resolve the dependency. Also,
porting to non-Linux platforms becomes problematic.
(*) glibc seems to have a good set of functions internally
AFAICT, these are for the library's own use, not part of the
supported external interface. I'll investigate further.
(*) ardour has its own <pbd/atomic.h>
This does not seem to be well tested yet. But, a recent patch
by Robert Jordens at least makes it compile correctly on all the
Debian platforms using #ifdef's. Since the code was taken
directly from kernel sources, it is even likely to work on most
of those platforms (if compiled correctly).
(*) ardour has a ring queue implementation in ringbuffer.cc
There is also a C version included in the JACK example-clients
directory. These are excellent for some problems, but certainly
not for everything.
Advice or comments?

I've found that randomizing control ports in amSynth to be a fun, interesting, and productive way of finding new sounds. We need a HINT because not all ports should change when a global randomize command is given, such as a gain control.

Strictly Confidential & Urgent Business Proposal.
Re: Transfer Of Usd $21,500.000{Twenty - One Million, Five Hundred Thousand Us Dollars Only.
I am a member of the Federal Government Of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C).
Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in the Petroleum Trust Fund (P.T.F.) BY MY COMMITTEE.
This contract was over invoiced to the tune of us$ 21.5Million Dollars. This was done delibrately. The over - invoicing was a deal by my committee to benefit from the project.
We now want to transfer this money, which is in a suspense account with the P.T.F. into any oversea account, which we expect you to provide for us.
Share:
60 % of the money would be for my partners and I.
30 % of the money would be yours, for providing us with logistics, which, would include a safe bank account, where we shall facilitate funds transfer into, as soon as documentations are concluded over here.
10 % of the money has been mapped out from the total sum to cover any expenses that might be incurred during the course of the transaction, (both local and international expenses).
If interested in assisting us, please contact me via my secured email address, as soon as possible (mikeefosa(a)hknetmail.com)
It may interest you to know that a similar transaction was carried out with one Mr. Patrice Miller, President of Crane International Trading Corp., of 153 East 57th St., 28th floor, N.Y.10022, Telephone: 212-308-7788 and Telex: 6731689. The deal was concluded and all covering documents, forwarded to Mr. Miller to authenticate the claims. Once the funds were transferred, Mr. Miller presented to his bank, all the legal documents and remitted the whole funds to another bank account, and disappeared completely. My colleagues and I were shattered, since such opportunities are not easy to come by.
Please, if you are interested in assisting us carry out to the fullest capacity, this transaction, we would require the following information from you which would enable us make formal application to the various ministries / parastatals, for the release and onward transfer of the money to your account.
1.Your Full Name, Company's Name, Address, Telephone and Fax Numbers.
2.Your Bank Name, Address. Telephone and Fax Number.
3.Your Bank Account Number and Beneficiary Name - You must be the signatory.
Please, note that we have strong and reliable connections at the Central Bank and other Government Parastatals, hence assistance in this regards, would not be a problem.
At the conclusion of this transaction, we shall use same contacts to withdraw all documents used in the course of this, to avoid any trace whatsoever that may ever arise, to you or to us, now and in the nearest possible future.
It might also interest you to know that we are mere civil servants who do not want to miss this opportunity, hence, we want this money transferred out, as soon as possible, before the newly democratically elected government ever think of making enquiries as regards the various activities of the past military government.
Kindly contact me as soon as possible, whether or not you are interested in this deal, so that whereby you are not interested, it would give us more room to scout for another partner. But if you are interested, kindly contact me via above email, so that we can swing into action, as time is not on our part.
I await in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr.Mike Efosar
