Hello all,
I'm currently writing an arpeggiator that syncs to JACK tempo. It's
starting to get usable, and I'm running out of excuses not to let others try
it out.
Basic features/requirements:
- svn / tarball only now
- gtkmm-based, so dev packages for gtkmm and friends are needed to build
(and obviously jack)
- I've only built it on Ubuntu Studio (karmic) 64bit. I'm looking for
others to let me know if it builds/runs elsewhere.
- requires JACK time master to be rolling for the arpeggiators to do
anything. Qtractor and Seq24 have worked well for me.
- will pass midi events thru when JACK time master is not rolling.
- 4 arpeggiators with transpose, interval, range, note duration selectable
thru UI.
- Each arp has it's own JACK midi in and out port, so you can cascade
arpeggiators.
- Preliminary support for scales and modes - all of them are not correct,
but try major, dorian, diminished and augmented for starters :)
It sounds great with each arpeggiator driving an instance of calf mono.
Check out the ogg/mp3 clip on sourcefourge.
Thanks all,
Looking forward to any and all feedback.
Hi,
ams 2.0.1 has just been released.

Greetings,
A quick note of deep gratitude to all Linux audio users and devs from
whom I have learned and continue to learn so much.
Thank you, and I hope you all enjoy the best of the holiday season.
Best,
dp
Please allow me to echo what many others have already said so eloquently on the LA* lists:
On behalf of the Linuxaudio.org consortium, L2Ork, and personally I would like to extend very best Holiday wishes to all LA* users, developers, artists, enthusiasts, supporters, contributors, companies, and sponsors. May we have many more years of a thriving community and bountiful creativity.
Likewise, I would like to express deepest gratitude to all who have contributed towards making audio on Linux not only possible but also remarkable! After all, Linuxaudio.org, L2Ork, or many of my personal projects would've never been possible without your talents and generous contributions!

Hi,
I had a thought that maybe the network sound card should not be using
ethernet but instead wireless 802.11n.
The ralink rt2870 chipset is well supported at full 300Mb/s on Linux and
has open source drivers.
I think this would open up a lot of opportunities with a wireless sound
card.
I'm not sure how many are on the market right now but I haven't heard of
any yet so there is a big opportunity there to fill a gap.
Cheers.

Suppose you wanted a soft-synth to be instantly playable at startup
(given the option: '--autoconnect') then what would be the ALSA
functions for:
1) Saving the current "live" connection at exit (if any.)
2) Restoring the above (saved information.)

jack_capture
============
jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default
operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into
a file, but it can do a number of other operations as well.
0.9.32 -> 0.9.36
* Add support for OGG (requires sndlib>=1.0.18)
* Check if file format is supported by sndlib before creating file
* Added auto-support for WVE, MPC2K and RF64. (untested)
* Reset terminal colors when exiting.
* Check dependencies for various programs in the Makefile
* Tried to make it even more clear (if that's possible) that
'jack_capture --port system:playback_1 --port system:playback_2'
does exactly the same as the default.
* Added untested patch from Orcan Ogetbil to make jack_capture compile on
a ppc64 platform.
In case jack_capture is ran on a ppc64 platform, a warning is printed
during runtime.
* Clearing up licenses
* A fix for open() from Florian Faber.
* A couple of gui fixes from Orcan Ogetbil.
Ceres
****************************
Ceres is a large program for doing various sound effects in the frequency
domain and displaying sonograms. The program has been developed for about
13 years, and is mainly made by Øyvind Hammer with contributions from
Jonathan Lee, Stanko Juzbasic and many others.
0.46 -> 0.48:
-Various fixes to make it build with fc11
-Include openmotif to make it easier to build
-Various makefile fixes
Hello list,
I recently wrote a sequencer for multi-touch/collaborative music
composition as part of my thesis. I currently set the PPQ to 128 which
ought be enough for demonstration purposes and early testing. Now, I am
wondering how to support higher PPQN efficiently. Some of you guys might
have an experience in doing that; I've seen that renoise supports up to
4096 PPQN and DigitalPerformer uses some kind of variable clocking. Have
you heard or implemented of techniques that are smarter than just
cranking up the _fixed_ clock resolution? As timestamps I currently use
64bit ints, I guess I could encode the timing as (tick, +subdivisions)
and poll the timing for the next event(s) and set the clock accordingly.
Would that be worth it? Any general opinions about the max PPQN?
thanks,
so long...
Niklas

Hi
I have break out the jconv settings gui from guitarix and make it available as
stand alone app.
It act as a (stereo) Host for jconv/jconvolver, to create/save/load/run
configuration files for the use with jconvolver.
Indeed this Gui didn't cover the full advance of jconv/jconvolver, but may be
the one or other found it useful.
Additional jcgui provide master gain, left/right gain, balance, left/right delay and
tone bass/middle/high controllers.
It's designed to use in realtime environment (jack) to processing data, not for apply
to a file.

The FFADO team is proud and happy to announce the release of FFADO 2.0.0.
As the release candidates have been around for almost one year now
without a significant amount of bug reports we feel confident that the
current code-base has matured. Around the end of november the 1000-th
device was registered as being used with FFADO, which seemed to be a
nice number to triggered the release.
Furthermore on December 2 the Linux kernel version 2.6.32 has been
released. This version fixes the new kernel FireWire drivers such that
they are compatible with FFADO. So once the distributions pick up this
kernel the old/new kernel stack confusion should be history.
Thanks go out to the vendors that provided us with gear to support for
the 2.0 release: Echo Digital Audio, Edirol, Ego Systems Inc, Focusrite,
Mackie and Terratec. Kudos for their early-bird support!
Special thanks also go to BridgeCo and TC Applied for providing us with
their development platforms and for helping with vendor contacts. Their
support makes that FFADO covers the most widely used platforms for
FireWire audio and that we can quickly implement support for new devices.
Looking ahead to the 2.1 release we can announce that we have
implemented (basic) support for additional devices from Focusrite,
Behringer, Stanton and TC Electronic. We plan to move to beta-testing
2.1 fairly soon as development on it has been ongoing for more than a
year now. Additionally, work is being done on the RME devices, but its
not yet known when that will be finished. Support for some other vendors
is in the pipeline, so stay tuned for more announcements.
A second major development is the move of the streaming infrastructure
to kernel space. A kernel-space implementation will bring significant
improvements with respect to reliability and efficiency. Furthermore it
will allow to expose an ALSA interface, meaning that the scope of
FireWire audio on Linux is extended significantly. Thanks to the Google
Summer of Code and the Linux Foundation, work on this has been done
during the summer. The code is not yet ready for use, but things are moving.
