Has anyone seen source for it? I'm frankly tantalized. First of all, the unit sounds very well. And, while the new display is apparently colorful, it's still all text--I'm guessing ncurses or slang. Does anyone know? My interest and hope is to access display data over the builtin ethernet tcp/ip connection in order to provide a speaking alternative interface for blind musicians (like me). This seems emminently possible except that Yamaha have locked all ports by default--I know, I nmap'd it. Still, they chose to build the XS using Linux. And they clearly have chosen more f/oss tools, at least Samba is also clearly there judging by the options available in the Network configuration menu. So, how to gain access? How to get some small shell on board? I should think the source is a place to start. It's clear they know they're under the GPL here, because they publish it in Chapter 34 of the User Manual. But the source ... ... ? ? ? -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.202.595.7777; sip:janina@a11y.org Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://CapitalAccessibility.Com Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada Learn more at http://ScreenlessPhone.Com Chair, Open Accessibility janina(a)a11y.org Linux Foundation http://a11y.org

LS 0.4.0 trouble creating more than 2 audio-drivers

by Julien Claassen

Hi everyone! I still have the problem: If I try to create more than 2 jack-devices, LinuxSampler just quits. did anyone else ever experience that problem? Is that problem known to the LS-crowd? Is it possibly just a restriction, for I get no error or is it a real bug? I'd be happy about some answers, for it'd be really a great help in recording and processing my tracks. If there's anything I can do to assist in isolating the problem, just tell me what to do!

PHASEX-0.10.2

by William Weston

The [P]hase [H]armonic [A]dvanced [S]ynthesis [EX]periment, version 0.10.2 is ready for download (source tarball and FC6 RPMs) at: http://sysex.net/phasex/ This release contains many fixes, most notably better support for older GTK versions. PHASEX now works with GTK2 versions as low as 2.4.x, which should help most of the build issues on older distros. Here's everything from the Changelog for this release: * Fixed typos and omissions in parameter help file. * Improved error handling and reporting in jack.c. * Fixed JACK thread shutdown. * Added Pete Shorthose's patch for saving memory with a single knob anim. * Added Lars Luthman's patch for improper style handling in gtkknob.c. * Fixed knob centering on middle click drag events. * Cleaned up style and whitespace in gtkknob.c, added boilerplate. * Added current midimap file to saved settings. * Fixed build and runtime problems with GTK versions 2.4 to 2.8 * Fixed invalid setting of patch modified flag on startup. * Updated error message for unhandled ALSA MIDI errors. * Fixed passing of debug flags in configure.ac. * Fixed detection of functions in libm. * Added install of phasex.desktop to Makefile.am. * Fixed uninitiailized varibable warnings in midi.c. * Fixed missed internal update on boolean parameters first switching to zero. * Removed dead update_widget_val() in callback.c. * Disabled engine side of audio ringbuffer locking (easier on JACK). * Changed name of ALSA MIDI sequencer input port for readability. * Added project roadmap. Special thanks go to Pete Shorthose and Lars Luthman for your patches to the gtkknob code, and to the rest of you for offering incredible feedback, especially on the build issues and ALSA/JACK startup issues. Cheers! --ww -- /* William Weston <weston(a)sysex.net> */

RE: ANN: RTMix 0.76 (a.k.a. "rtmix lives on")

Just realized that there was already a 0.76 release back in 2003... DOH! Let's then call this one 0.76b ;-) Ico

ANN: RTMix 0.76 (a.k.a. "rtmix lives on")

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Well, it's been over 2 (3?) years since last release, but rtmix refuses to die ;-). Thanks solely to Robin Gareus and his heroic work in making rtmix gcc4 compliant, I am releasing rtmix version 0.76. Apart from compile error fixes (courtesy of Robin), there have been a few cosmetic tweaks, but most notably, the source is now released under a 100% GPL-compliant license. That being said, the code is still a dirty hack, the internal event cue occasionally still misbehaves (albeit only in very complex situations), and unfortunately native alsa seq is still MIA (uses old unix dev access). OTOH, the thing does work as advertised, has been used, and continues to be used in my works without a hitch. Apart from oss midi, rtmix supports networking, OSC, and other goodness making it rather practical for on-screen coordination as well as interaction between performer(s) and computer. For more info on what really rtmix is please consult the HTML documentation included with the tarball (or see online documentation info below). The tarball (5MB) comes with source, documentation (some statements in it are likely a bit outdated, so please take those parts with a grain of salt), tutorials, and precompiled binary on Ubuntu 6.10 (i686, qt3, gcc), so if you have these a simple "make install" should do it (installs in /usr/local/rtmix and binary in /usr/local/bin). For a "simon" tutorial with sounds you will also need sounds zipfile (11MB-ish) which are downloadable from the same folder (just browse the folder). To download latest RTMix click here: http://ico.bukvic.net/Linux/RTMix/rtmix-latest.tar.gz Online documentation: http://ico.bukvic.net/Linux/RTMix/RTMix-docs/ Complaints to: /dev/null Future roadmap: Rtmix in its current state is a project in a need of a total rewrite. This is primarily due to the fact that despite the fact rtmix appears to do the job in 99.9% of instances, the code is an ugly hack which makes its maintenance and perhaps more importantly expandability exponentially difficult. That being said, I am looking forward to one of the upcoming summers when I will dig into the code once again and rebuild the darn thing from the ground up the way it was meant to be all along. Until then, this version should prove an adequate substitute. Enjoy!

[LAU] LS 0.4.0 trouble creating more than 2 audio-drivers

[ANN] Alsaplayer 0.99.79 and fftscope 1.0.4 released

by Dominique Michel

Alsaplayer 0.99.79 ------------------ AlsaPlayer is a new type of PCM player. It is heavily multi-threaded and tries to excercise the ALSA library and driver quite a bit. It has some very interesting features unique to Linux/Unix players. This is a feature enhancement and minor bugfix release. New features: Basic keyboard navigation and loop inside a selection have been added. Bugfix: A missing include was added; this make at Alsaplayer will compile on never gcc and non gcc compilers. ChangeLog from the last release: * Updated config.guess and config.sub with latest savannah version. * Added missing include in app/CorePlayer so it will compile with never gcc and non gcc compilers. Thanks to Debian for this fix. * Applied Debian patch from Viktor Radnai and Paul Brossier. Add basic keyboard navigation (skip, pause, etc.), loop mode (looping inside a selection), pressing play button or key during playback return to the beginning of the song, speed changes one musical semitone a time using the keyboard (handy for changing the key the song is played back in). * Added keyboard shortcuts for speed +/- 1 comma (useful to tune the player when playing some musical instrument at the same time). * Updated the man page with those keyboard bindings. fftscope 1.0.4 -------------- Fftscope is a nice fft scope plugin for Alsaplayer. This release is a major bugfix release and each user is encouraged to upgrade. Alsaplayer was crashing at exit time when this scope was installed but not running. A missing test in the quit function was added. The compilation flags in Makefile.am was fixed. Enjoy those 2 new releases! --------------------------- http://www.alsaplayer.org/ http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=249 Dominique -- Dominique Michel -- N.B.: Tous les emails que je reçois sont filtrés par spamassassin avant de me parvenir.
