I know this is somewhat already covered in this discussion, but this is
straight from the head of Chicken Systems (a friend of mine). I asked
him if there was any way beyond converting the samples (which Translator
can do just fine) to get the Kontakt samples into Linux, and this was
his reply:
"All the scripting is lost, there's nothing really to convert it to
since no other platform is as intelligent. Of course, EastWest uses
Python and I forgot what MachFive 3 uses, but I'm not sure how demanded
such a conversion is."
So, until NI ports Kontakt to Linux, or someone else makes an equivalent
or better sampler for Linux, we'll have to stick with some form of
Windows. Unless I've missed it, has anyone gotten it to work with Wine,
or through Windows in VirtualBox? I'm building a machine that will have
most versions of Windows as VirtualBoxes, just to experiment with it, &
to get away from Windows, albeit slowly, but this isn't my DAW, just a
strong Linux (Fedora 17) box.

I wanted to mention that Pianoteq does provide a linux VST which does
work in Ardour and Qtractor. However, the default version provides 5
output channels which Ardour does not seem to like (because it expects
stereo output). However, if you append "_2chan" to the plugin library
name (e.g. Pianoteq.so to Pianoteq_2chan.so) , the plugin will output
only 2 channels and work happily in Ardour.

Hi all
The winners of the Hydrogen Drumkit Contest have just been announced on the
Hydrogen site !
Check out the announcement
<http://www.hydrogen-music.org/hcms/node/2327>and listen to the demo
songs of the submitted drumkits.
A big thank you to all the people that submitted a drumkit and to the jury !
Enjoy :-)

As you may know from the other sampling thread here on this list I have written several emails to sample developers over the last two days and suggested CC-By-Sa as sampling license.
Clearly the intention of sample developers, they all write it in their currenct licenses, is that the resulting music is not part of the samples license. e.g. it is not considered a derived work.
But for Creative Commons ShareAlike? Is music a derived work from samples under cc-by-sa?
If yes I made a dumb error which could have negative impact on further talk with those developers since I was obviously talking about things I didn't know enough about.
Also if yes: Is there even a pre-packaged license that allows:
-Music or other resulting works are not derived works and the following conditions do not apply to the music itself.
-Sharing the sample packages is allowed
-Editing, Repackaging (sf2->sfz) etc. is allowed
-Selling the sample package itself is allowed or not (two different flavours)

For a few years I have used an Atom UMPC as my "mobile development
terminal", allowing me to build and run code at much lower performance
than I would expect from a "real" system but good enough for working on
new bits of code and finding performance bottlenecks :)
I am migrating over to a Nexus 7 with a Debian chroot environment and
tightvnc for display. This is working great for most things. The last
bit is to be able to run jackd so I can actually test audio parts of the
programs I work on the most.
I don't care about latency, or even xruns. This isn't for production
use. I just want to be able to exercise the jack client library, make
connections, and hopefully get SOME audio output. The current problem I
am having is that sys V shared mem API is not supported.

Has anybody done anything like what I'm working toward? Any workarounds
for missing shm API?
Thanks.

Hi
Kinda new to linux audio and still a bit new to dev generally and I'm
trying to understand the basis of linux audio.
By that, I mean the ALSA API :
I would like to use the PCM interface and the mixer interface to mix 2
sounds and understand the real meaning of a mixer used in the Audio
Architectures.
For now I understood that the mixer interface uses the High level control
interface (hcontrol), which uses basic kernel modules.
I was wondering if anyone had some docs or examples of a program that uses
the mixer interface ?
Thanks

My modular plugins use a reference of 440Hz. Also parameters are ranged
between 0.0 - 10.0 but can exceed that if need be. (in a modular synth,
everything needs to interoperate).
So for frequency 5.0 is 440Hz (Middle-A). i.e. the middle of the range -
5.0, is the standard 'middle' key.
Great idea though. Octaves are far more universal than western semitones,
yet trivial to convert between. 440Hz is a good choice.

Hello everyone!
I have something not realted to Linux. It's mainly how to read a few things.
Anyone knowledgeable about fourier-transformation in general here, who might
wish to help me?
Background is a university exam, that I have to take, but only having had
the script and not having found the right information anywhere else, I'd like
to know, how to read/speak a few things mainly.
Thank you for being with me so far.
Kindest regards
Julien

Hi :-)
i'm writing a tool for monitoring Jack2 (actually the only thing I
need right now is to be able to check the XRuns).
I'm using the jacklib.py
[https://raw.github.com/falkTX/Cadence/master/src/jacklib.py] and it
opens the client connection to jack ok. For example:
==================
import jacklib
client = jacklib.client_open("test-client", jacklib.JackNoStartServer, None)
xruns=0
def cb(*args):
global xruns
xruns += 1
return 0
jacklib.set_xrun_callback(client, cb, None)
while True:
raw_input("(%d) > " % xruns)
==================
This runs ok, but my callback (cb) is never called.
I'm sure it's registered to receive XRun notifications because
whenever I call "jacklib.set_xrun_callback" it starts showing me some
jack debug messages like "Jack: JackClient::ClientNotify ref = 3 name
= test-client notify = 3" for each xrun.
Am I missing anything?
Thanks!

Hi All,
I wrote two scripts for tetrafile, an ambisonics A-format to B-format
converter, made by Fons Adriaensen.
It converts a folder with A-format recordings done in Ardour to B-format
files.
If you don't have an ambisonic microphone, you probably don't need this.
https://github.com/StudioDotfiles/DotRepo/blob/master/i3/scripts/ardour2Bfo…https://github.com/StudioDotfiles/DotRepo/blob/master/i3/scripts/ardour2ard…
Ardour should record 4-channel tracks into for example:
audio1-7%a.wav audio1-7%b.wav audio1-7%c.wav audio1-7%d.wav
Sometimes Ardour records them to other numbers, for example:
audio1-7%a.wav audio1-7%b.wav udio1-7%c.wav audio1-6%d.wav
These script works around that.
There are two versions: one that outputs 4-channel files, and one that
outputs 4 mono files per input file.
These are my first zsh script's and almost my first shell scripts in
general, so feedback is wanted.
Also: if it eats your hamster, don't look at me.
Enjoy!
