For instance, this is the relevant code in "aconnect.c" : static void do_search_port(snd_seq_t *seq, int perm, action_func_t do_action) { snd_seq_client_info_t *cinfo; snd_seq_port_info_t *pinfo; int count; snd_seq_client_info_alloca(&cinfo); snd_seq_port_info_alloca(&pinfo); snd_seq_client_info_set_client(cinfo, -1); while (snd_seq_query_next_client(seq, cinfo) >= 0) { /* reset query info */ snd_seq_port_info_set_client(pinfo, snd_seq_client_info_get_client(cinfo)); snd_seq_port_info_set_port(pinfo, -1); count = 0; while (snd_seq_query_next_port(seq, pinfo) >= 0) { if (check_permission(pinfo, perm)) { do_action(seq, cinfo, pinfo, count); count++; } } } } See: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-utils.git;a=blob;f=seq/aconnect/aconnec… I guess you already know the reference documentation site: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/seq.html Just for comparison, a similar enumeration using Drumstick looks like this: QListIterator<PortInfo> it(m_Client->getAvailableOutputs()); while(it.hasNext()) { PortInfo p = it.next(); cout << p.getClientName() << ":" << p.getPort(); } See Drumstick's example "drumgrid": http://drumstick.sourceforge.net/docs/drumgrid.cpp-example.html Regards, Pedro

Four decks audio player for radio stations

by Adrian Knoth

Hi! I was recently helping a small Dutch radio station run by volunteers to set up their new studio. It's a modular system with a 16 I/O firewire card: http://www.d-r.nl/AXUM/AXUM.htm We managed to support it in FFADO. The playback software runs on a virtualised Windows machine that's talking to jackd via netjack (no idea which one, the one with multicast and netmanager), so we can address four individual stereo pairs. This whole netjack thing isn't very stable, so the playback software should be replaced by some native Linux client. Here's a screenshot of the current Windows solution: http://adi.loris.tv/radio.png It is basically a set of four remotely controlled winamps (with ASIO output plugin to talk to jackd) and a directory browser per player. So "Jingles", "Muziek" and "Bladeren" are just shortcuts to directories with media files, the drop-down menu on the left contains a list of even more directories. The filter is used for pattern matching. Questions: Are you aware of any Linux solution that comes close to this? If not, any recommendations if one would want to create such a four-deck player? Leveraging VLC, mplayer, gstreamer? This is surely going to be open source, so whoever is interested, feel free to participate. Cheers

CAPS* as LV2

by Aurélien Leblond

Hi all, Quick question: does the CAPS* plugins suite exist in LV2 format (I'm almost sure the answer is no, as I have looked everywhere, but you never know...). If not, could somebody who knows the code of these plugins let me know how hard it would be to port them to LV2? Are there any pitfalls to look for? Background: a few years back, I created a few synths using AlsaModularSynth - I'm trying to recreate them into Ingen. I already ported the AMS internal modules to lv2 (avw.lv2), and a few other ones that I need are now in fomp.lv2. I use the CAPS amp modelling to make the sound of the synth a bit more natural. Obviously, I know I could plug Ingen output into JackRack for example and use CAPS there for example, but where is the fun in that? :) Incidentally, are there other LV2 plugins that would do at Amp Modelling?

No I haven't seen this behaviour, but I haven't been using QTractor that much. What repository did you use for the plugins, LV2 and QTractor?

eigenlabs + linux

by Alexandre Prokoudine

Hi, Is anybody interested to help Eigenlabs figure out the USB layer to get their stuff ported to Linux? http://www.eigenlabs.com/forum/threads/id/1148/ They are very free software friendly. Their code is available under GPL, they have a very good understanding of working with community while staying an enterprise (the instruments are not open, as far as I can tell), and, needless to say, the instruments they do are beyond awesome.

DISTRHO looks interesting, but I was wondering maybe if my existing VSTGUI code could somehow be used with the least amount of adjustments. I guess since it's just a bunch of x,y offsets and basic widgets it shouldn't be too hard to port to another toolkit, but I don't have the free time I used to. But, I'll definitely consider it. It's free, right? I didn't see a license so I'm guessing it'd be ok to bake into my binary-only application (apologies if I just missed it). I'm wondering if maybe downgrading VSTGUI and making the plugin perfectly WINE-friendly (or winelib) would be an option. Anyone know what the best VSTGUI version might be the best target for that? And any opinions on the VSTGUI port found at jacklab.net? -Louis

Optimized device driver to Fast Track Pro (start developing)

by rodrigo＠angoera.com.br

Hi every body, I would like to develop an very optimized device driver for the USB soundcard, I am going to use the IC TUSB3200 similar the Fast Track Pro from M-Audio (I would like to optimize this device driver as well) , I am a hardware developer, and now I gonna start in the Linux world... I would like to know if someone could tell me what the better path to learn and develop an USB sound card???

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.2.0 - The second public release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, The new gang-of-three's now barely consolidated into one semi-official 'Vee One Suite'. Of course, as time goes by, inexorably, the still self-described 'old-school', 'proto-toys', just become a little older and mature by the day. Eventually, they will rot. But not today. Same old features, still the norm: * a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support; * a LV2 instrument plugin. Here follows the news from the change-log, common to all synthv1, samplv1 and drumkv1, unless specifically stated otherwise: - New Reset (all values to preset default) button. - New parameter A / B comparison toggle buttons. - New element exclusive Group sounding setting. (drumkv1) - New Velocity sensitivity configuration control. - Increased baseline polyphony from 24 to 32 voices. - Mouse-wheel support on combo-dial knob widgets. - New command line options: --help and --version information. (stand-alone JACK client forms only) - Voice re-triggering fast-release fix. - LV2 event buffer recycle fix. - Prepared for relative filesystem paths on preset file references. - Audio sample file browser support for old 8.3 file-name formats. (samplv1, drumkv1) - Audio sample waveform widget context menu added. (samplv1) And here are the (old-school) buddies: * synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

CAPS Tonestack tone strange behavior

by Lucas Takejame

Hi everyone, I was using CAPS AmpVTS and notice that some tone knobs didn't work well. I end up trying tonestack plugin itself and it seems that the problem (is this a bug or its the way it really works?) is there, the Bass filter apparently stops working about 0.5 to 1.0 , the Mid filter, on the other way, apparently starts working in this zone, Treble seems to work fine. Has anyone noticed something like that or even corrected this problem? Att, Lucas Takejame
