[linux-audio-dev] Linux audio conference 2004 audio files

by Juhana Sadeharju

Hello. Nobody replied when somebody asked the 2004 meeting audio files. The files are not anymore available at the original site. I placed them to ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/sci/audio/lad/ http://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/audio/lad/ If you pick up the small files. Then do this: cat ladmeeting.a* > ladmeeting.tar.bz2 or cat ladmeeting.a* | bzip2 -dc | tar xf - Juhana -- http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-graphics-dev for developers of open source graphics software

[linux-audio-dev] Request/Offer: Debian package for Scala

by Andreas Kuckartz

Unfortunately Manuel Op de Coul, the author of Scala (http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/scala/), currently does not want to change his non-commercial license ("perhaps in the future"). But he made this offer: "However if someone makes a Debian package for it, I'll be happy to distribute it." Scala is written in Ada. If someone wants to help with building a Debian package, please let him know. Cheers, Andreas

What Scala does? How and for what musicians use it? The topic sounds similar to Arabic Magams. I have listed some of them from a book, but I'm not exactly sure how they are used. I have improvised, though. Juhana -- http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-graphics-dev for developers of open source graphics software

[linux-audio-dev] MIDI routing with Python and ALSA?

by Peter Brinkmann

Hi, I've been thinking about building a simple MIDI router with Python and ALSA. My main motivation is to (a) save, process, and write back bulk data from my master keyboard, and (b) map control change events from the keyboard to GUI events, but of course note events and such should be handled as well. Does anything like this exist? If not, does some part of it exist? For instance, it would be extremely helpful to have a Python wrapper for ALSA structs such as snd_seq_event_t. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Best, Peter

>From: Pau Arumi <parumi(a)iua.upf.es> > >They showed two systems Sutherland and MATRIX (I know nothing about them). Matrix could be predecessor of Matlab. It was available via ftp a couple of years ago, and perhaps even now. I have it somewhere in my archives. If the text on the case indicates that Matrix has GUI and dataflow systems, then I'm not sure if that Matrix is the same: Matlab was just a matrix processing language at the start, if I remember correctly. Sutherland must be of R. Sutherland 1966 something which is mentioned in the comp.lang.visual FAQ. I will search the literature. If I remember correctly, E. Surherland built first interactive graphics editor at 1961-62 with 2D constrained object manipulation. Then (his brother?) R. Sutherland extended it to 3D at 1963. These ideas included the build of circuit diagrams. The E. Sutherland's paper at 1962 mentions that the drawn circuit can be used "as is" in simulation. So, I'm curious how these ideas had evolved prior to 1966. I recently picked up circuit simulation papers back from 1960-1970. If anyone of you want to know faster what is on them, please mail me and we check them together.

For the prior art I have a bold solution: all published material should be freely available, legally or not. Soon one finds punch of volunteers who are willing to browse all that material for finding prior art. That won't happen if they would have to spend $$$$$$ in purchasing the materials first. Patent offices are leaving the prior art browsing for us -- if you have seen how infrequently they refer outside the patent database. Somebody gotta loose and I prefer the publishers rather than us.
