In writing arpage, I find that qtractor and seq24 provide good BBT data. Ardour was ok, but Hydrogen didn't do so well. -- sent from mobile On Jan 22, 2010 1:40 PM, "Olivier Guilyardi" <list(a)samalyse.com> wrote: On 01/21/2010 03:28 PM, torbenh wrote: > On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 07:48:20AM -0500, Paul Coccoli wrot... I think that Harry's question was more about time as he rephrased it in his 2nd post, than about event queuing, although this is of course linked. But in regard to time, what about Beat-Bar-Tick which seems to be important to him? How many applications support (set or handle) the Beat-Bar-Tick related jack transport position fields? In general, how reliable are these fields? -- Olivier _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists...

Search: Free, Crossplatform Soundlib for a game

by Nils Hammerfest

Hi, I search for a free and open source sound/music lib to integrate sound and music in a game. The game runs on Lin/Win32/OSX so it has to be crossplatform. I know openAL, but this is too big and tons of people have problems with it. Anything slimmer around? Nils

After all, who likes to waste time on things that do not get used. So I understand. Speaking of jack-midi. It is the oly thing that keeps my setup running. When using alsa midi the slows down and speeds up very bad. I find the timing in jack midi to be far superior for professional work. When I run jack midi it would be synced with jack transport running alongside of 900+ midi and audio connections. things get nasty with alsa midi :) -- Christopher Cherrett ccherrett(a)openoctave.org http://www.openoctave.org

Hydrogen and jackmidi

by alex stone

A quick question. Is Hydrogen now a jackmidi app? I've been searching the interlink, and did see some discussion about it, and i wondered if this was an impending reality, or a false dawn. I've downloaded the latest stable but no jackmidi present as yet. Alex. -- www.openoctave.org midi-subscribe(a)openoctave.org development-subscribe(a)openoctave.org

[ANN] Qtractor 0.4.4 - The Frisky Demivierge's in the wild!

by Rui Nuno Capela

What? No automation, yet? Yes I failed the promise once again. So what? What would you expect from this self-called über-procrastinator? As sure is one to say that this is the Year of Linux Desktop (YOLD:), I'll give you the shivers and command this one will be the year of Qtractor Automation. No kiddin' ;) Meanwhile, this new dot-release brings you several niceties, a couple of them have been waaay longer and dustier on the all-mighty-overdue TODO list than automation is. Rejoice! or else... Qtractor 0.4.4 (frisky demivierge) is in the wild! Release highlights: * LV2 plug-in support (NEW) * MIDI event list view (NEW) * Expedite audio/MIDI clip import (NEW) * DSSI plug-in output control ports feedback/update (NEW) * JACK transport, MMC, SPP control options (NEW) * Self-bounce/recording (FIX) * Audio/MIDI drift correction (FIX) * Anti-glitch audio micro-fade-in/out ramp smoothing (FIX) Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: - source tarball: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.4.4.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 11.2): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.4.4-2.rncbc.suse112.sr… - binary packages (openSUSE 11.2): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.4.4-2.rncbc.suse112.i5… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.4.4-2.rncbc.suse112.x8… - binary packages (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS; no LV2 support): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor_0.4.4-1.rncbc.ubuntu804_… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor_0.4.4-1.rncbc.ubuntu804_… - binary packages (Ubuntu 9.10): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor_0.4.4-1.rncbc.ubuntu910_… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor_0.4.4-1.rncbc.ubuntu910_… - user manual (ever still outdated): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.3.0-user-manual.pdf Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - For all the DSSI plugins that have output control ports, a host feedback/update process cycle is now being finally provided: all output control ports are now marshaled to their respective GUI process, rather often and when found open/visible. - MIDI clip editor (aka piano-roll) snap-to-beat behavior on edit mode is now kind of more like 'filling-in-the-blanks' (as Frank Neumann et al. wishes ;) - Fixed MIDI clip editor mistake when reverting to initial clip length, before closing and discard changes (thanks to Frank Neumann, for spotting this one). - LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap just makes it a shortcut to File/Save. - Avoid parameter value flickering, due to duplicate command invocation, most evident when changing values massively on native Linux VSTi plugin editor GUIs (thanks to a detailed report on this odd behavior, from Mike of linuxDSP.co.uk). - Another TODO item bites the dust: MIDI event list editor, now accessible from the MIDI clip editor menu (View/Events) - Last used session directory is now made current on startup only when no filename is given on the command line (solving bug #2920244). - Current snap-to-beat setting (time quantization) now affects the anchor event only, while dragging, moving and/or pasting multiple events over the MIDI clip editor (aka piano-roll). - Make anti-glitch audio clip micro fade-in/outs independent from current buffer size as much as possible. - Audio/MIDI engine drift correction gets really sophisticated, with the help of (now old) ALSA MIDI tempo skew facility. - Edit/Clip/Import... menu option is now available for expedite clip insertion from audio and MIDI file requesters. - Set default session directory effective to file's location. - Audio track/clip recording process has been target to special re-factorization across the internal audio engine process cycle, in a late attempt to get self-bounce/recording effective and working consistently for all track layouts. - All session related dialogs are now set to window modality, (were set to default application modality before) allowing for continued input focus and interaction on all plugin/tool windows. - An off-by-one nasty old bug fixed in audio clip drawing, was causing instant crashes on certain zoom levels of the main track view. - Graphical MIDI clip representation regarding note/pitch range is now kept as much as possible across clip edits (cut, copy, paste, drag, move, delete, etc.) - LV2 plug-in hosting has finally come into actual implementation; only some and the most basic LV2 plug-in features are supported at the moment; probably there's no big advantage against the old LADSPA ones; there's some support for external UIs though; also, LV2 MIDI/Event bare-bones support is included but chances are it won't build nor work right on most of the setups out there. It's a WIP host implementation anyways, as is the whole LV2 spec. for that matter ;) - Connections filter is now reset when widget is shown through the View/Connections main menu or toolbar button. - Audio bus auto-connection option is now applied when creating or updating, newer or existing buses, respectively. - Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to disk whenever View/Options... dialog changes are applied or when a session is loaded or saved. - Audio ramping spin-locking makes its smooth stuff, in an attempt to reduce glitching and crackling when editing (due to its own pseudo spin-locking) and toggling playback states. - JACK Transport, MMC Device, and MIDI Song Position pointer (SPP) control modes are now made optional (View/Options...), allowing for discretionary configuration: None/Disabled, Slave/Input, Master/Output or Full/Duplex (default). - Session files may now be dragged and dropped over the main track view and get loaded for business as usual (once quietly ignored). - In an attempt to mitigate potential stack corruption and sudden crashes, old commented out session pseudo-locks are now back in business while executing clip editing commands (cut, paste, drag, move, insert, delete) and playback is currently rolling. - Adjusted first-time application window size to fit into 800x600 screen size and with reasonable initial dock-ables layout. - Avoid duplicate snap-to-grid effect when changing the length of MIDI clip editor events across non-zero clip offsets (after a glitch reported by Ralf Mardorf). - Late audio track processing optimization, suppressing all plugin, mixer and monitor pass-through activity when given track is muted, either explicitly or implicitly (ie. other track is in solo state). - Entering System Exclusive events (SysEx) on the MIDI clip editor (aka matrix/piano-roll widget), yet something not fully supported anyway, even though allowed in edit mode, doesn't crash the whole damn thing anymore, while saving the clip to a file. - Strict aliasing avoidance, with plain and demanded use of 'union', as much as to stop nagging warnings from gcc >= 4.4.1 (last seen on src/qtractorMidiEvent.h hackery). - Visual correct play-head position while changing zoom levels, applicable to both main track and MIDI clip editor views. Cheers && Enjoy. -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

[OT] Has anyone managed to compile this?

by Victor Lazzarini

Dear all, Torben's new project brought back to my mind this mind-bending C++ template example (see attached), which I could not yet get to compile, I have been told it has been compiled, but g++ will have none of it. So I still have doubts on whether it includes legal C++ code or not. But it is an interesting example (even if it does not build) of what (possibly) can be done with templates. My question to the list is: has anyone managed to compile this code? Regards Victor

arpage 0.2 alpha - JACK Sync'd Arpeggiator - available on sourceforge in tarball and SVN

by Mark Vitek

Hello all, The second development release of arpage is available on sourceforge in source tarball and SVN formats: Tarball: http://sourceforge.net/projects/arpage/ SVN: https://arpage.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/arpage/branches https://arpage.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/arpage/tags I'd like to thank everyone for the feedback I received on 0.1 - Please check this out and let me know what you think, or if you have problems building/running. The UI is still dead-boring GTK, but I've read back over the LAD threads regarding audio-oriented UI libraries and I'm thinking of investigating libproaudio with the next release. The 0.2 Development release adds: - Smaller UI - probably not Netbook friendly yet, but getting closer :) - UI should be dependent upon GTK+ 2.12 (rather than 2.16 as with the first release). - An additional executable named "zonage" which allows the MIDI note input to be split into 4 ranges. This is useful for routing sections of your MIDI keyboard to different JACK inputs - e.g. route the lower half to arpage, and the upper half to a "lead" sound, so you can "solo" over the arpeggiator. - The ability to have a pulse duration (time between note-on and note-off) be longer than the interval between pulses (time between note-on and subsequent note-on). This is useful when routing the output of one arpeggiator to the input of the next arpeggiator. Experiment and hear it :) - Noticeable decrease in the number of stuck notes (I haven't experienced ANY with this version yet). Basic features/requirements (same as 0.1 Alpha): - svn / tarball only for 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.

PortAudio experience

by Michael Ost

Hi, We are considering using PortAudio for Linux hardware support (and Windows/Mac as well). What's the word on the quality, reliability, ease-of-programming, latency and performance in Linux? Our product (Receptor) is used in live situations by non-programmers, so the support can't be "tweaky" if you know what I mean. The product only needs to support a couple of sound cards, though, so it won't have to target lots of hardware. Thanks for any feedback, Michael Ost Muse Research, Inc.
