Embedded linux: Multitrack + Playback/Record

by Prasant J

Hello, I intend to develop an audio application for my embedded linux system. My objectives are multi-track playback + record. (support for file formats like wav, mp3, etc.) Can anyone suggest if there is a library with a clean API that I can use? Any suggestions are welcome. - Regards, pj

Segfault when trying to dereference __midi_event.buffer (c++ newbie question)

by Shani Hadiyanto Pribadi

Hello there! I am trying to write a real time pitch shifter using C++. The pitch shifter uses resampling and WSOLA for time-scaling. I have written a jack client that already works using C, but I would like to try using zita-resampler as the resampler library for my program. That is why I am rewriting my program using C++ (it would also be a learning experience for me). I looked to Rui's synthv1 and zita-ajbridge for example of writing jack client using C++. The problem I am having relates to Jack MIDI. My program keeps having a segfault when it is trying to read from the MIDI buffer, specifically when it tries to dereference the buffer pointer inside the event structure. jack_midi_event_get(&in_event, midi_buf, event_index); if ((*(in_event.buffer) & 0xf0) == 0x90) // Segfault happens here, on boolean mask operation { _note = *(in_event.buffer + 1); } So I tried to print the buffer's content but it also segfaults. std::cout << std::hex << static_cast<unsigned int> (*(in_event.buffer)) << std::endl; My understanding that in_event.buffer is a pointer-to-char, so that *(in_event.buffer) should be an unsigned char. I don't understand where I am doing wrong, I would be very grateful if someone could point out my error. Oh, my computer is Archlinux 64 bit using jack2-git 20120718. I have put up a git repo of the code on https://github.com/shanipribadi/pitch-segfault.git Thanks. Shani Pribadi

VSTGUI porting in Linux

by Louis Gorenfeld

Hi, I'm the author of a free VST called Digits that has a Linux port. Recently, I put out a new version that has a full editor GUI, but was unable to get the GUI to work on Linux because VSTGUI 4 doesn't appear to have a Linux port. What do you think the best strategy (fastest, least code changes) would be to deliver a GUI for Linux users? I see on the JUCETICE site that there's a VSTGUI 3.0 port, and the old 2.2 VSTGUI that comes with the VST SDK has at least some Linux support (IIRC). I don't use any advanced features (just dials, labels, and sliders). Are either of these good options, and which would be best? Input from somebody experienced with this would be great. -Louis

Trouble setting h/w MIDI device as output port

by Dr Nick Bailey

I've been stumped for a while as to why my Tascam US-122 box stopped working as a writeable midi port. Using Debian Wheezy, everything was working up to a few weeks ago. MIDI input still works and there's nothing suspicious in the /var/logs. But... nick@arial:~$ aplaymidi -l Port Client name Port name 14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0 20:0 TASCAM US-X2Y TASCAM US-X2Y MIDI 1 24:0 USB MIDI keyboard USB MIDI keyboard MIDI 1 nick@arial:~$ aplaymidi -p 20:0 Desktop/076903b_.mid Cannot connect to port 20:0 - Input/output error nick@arial:~$ uname -a Linux arial 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.32-1 i686 GNU/Linux Using older kernels doesn't help. Connecting e.g. rosegarden to the TASCAM US-122 in qjackctl fails silently (the link is not made in the connections window and nothing is printed on the console). Can't see any module loading issues. Is anybody else seeing this behaviour? I'd submit a bug report but really can't figure out exactly what isn't working :( nick@arial:~$ lsmod Module Size Used by snd_usb_audio 71309 0 snd_hrtimer 12540 0 snd_seq_dummy 12455 0 snd_usb_usx2y 22748 2 snd_usbmidi_lib 18844 2 snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_usx2y snd_seq_midi 12744 0 snd_seq_midi_event 13124 1 snd_seq_midi snd_rawmidi 18376 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_usbmidi_lib ... usbcore 104470 8 ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd,uas,usb_storage,snd_usb_audio,snd_usbmidi_lib,snd_usb_usx2y usb_common 12338 1 usbcore Nick/.

(To change editor font size) (You can also use F5/F6 to change font size) Also, when you talk about the window going over the screen boundaries when changing font size, is it the system font size you are changing then? (You can set the system font size in ~/.radium/config). Because the window size should not increase if you change the editor font size. You can also press Left Ctrl + m to automatically fit all tracks in the visible area. Left Ctrl + m makes radium use two characters for note names instead of three. Left Ctrl + t changes the note names into a visual representation instead of text. > If I compare radium with another music editor I liked very much (back > to my time with the Amiga), Music-X, the different parts of the > program was on different superposed screens in the same window.

I think the main problem is horizontal space, so possible having one key that changes between only showing the editor or only showing the mixer would work. Turning on/off the instrument window isn't that important.

C - Change in memory causing seg.fault (but why?)

by Muffinman

Hello all, I'm working on a little app utilizing 'lasound' and I've got bassically what I want. However, somewhere there is a fault. Editing a random variable causes a segmentation fault. I've tried gdb but except it telling me where the application crashed (which I already knew) I did not get anything useful out of it. To minimize my own potential errors I have here below the example script from where I started (though I have removed some unnecessary stuff) and commented out the 'long *outvl' and '*outvl = -1'. Uncommenting, compile, and run this and I get a segmentation fault. The original script is available at the following link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7657624/get-master-sound-volume-in-c-in-… Can someone tell me where this is going wrong? Thanks in advance, Maarten #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <alsa/asoundlib.h> /* Drawbacks. Sets volume on both channels but gets volume on one. Can be easily adapted. */ int audio_volume(long* outvol) { snd_mixer_t* handle; snd_mixer_elem_t* elem; snd_mixer_selem_id_t* sid; static const char* mix_name = "Fake"; static const char* card = "default"; static int mix_index = 0; // long *outvl; // *outvl = -1; int ret = 0; long pmin, pmax; snd_mixer_selem_id_alloca(&sid); //sets simple-mixer index and name snd_mixer_selem_id_set_index(sid, mix_index); snd_mixer_selem_id_set_name(sid, mix_name); if ((snd_mixer_open(&handle, 0)) < 0) return -1; if ((snd_mixer_attach(handle, card)) < 0) { snd_mixer_close(handle); return -2; } if ((snd_mixer_selem_register(handle, NULL, NULL)) < 0) { snd_mixer_close(handle); return -3; } ret = snd_mixer_load(handle); if (ret < 0) { snd_mixer_close(handle); return -4; } elem = snd_mixer_find_selem(handle, sid); if (!elem) { snd_mixer_close(handle); return -5; } long minv, maxv; snd_mixer_selem_get_playback_volume_range (elem, &minv, &maxv); fprintf(stderr, "Volume range <%i,%i>\n", minv, maxv); if(snd_mixer_selem_get_playback_volume(elem, 0, outvol) < 0) { snd_mixer_close(handle); return -6; } fprintf(stderr, "Get volume %i with status %i\n", *outvol, ret); /* make the value bound to 100 */ *outvol -= minv; maxv -= minv; minv = 0; *outvol = 100 * (*outvol) / maxv; // make the value bound from 0 to 100 snd_mixer_close(handle); return 0; } int main(void) { long vol = -1; printf("Ret %i\n", audio_volume(&vol)); return 0; }
