[linux-audio-dev] C++ wrapper for libsndfile

by Erik de Castro Lopo

Hi all, Thanks to suggestions from people here I now have a relatively complete C++ wrapper for libsndfile: http://www.mega-nerd.com/tmp/sndfile.hh There is also a pre-release of libsndfile which includes a test for this wrapper: http://www.mega-nerd.com/tmp/libsndfile-1.0.17pre7.tar.gz C++ users, please comment. Cheers, Erik -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Erik de Castro Lopo +-----------------------------------------------------------+ "Even among Europe's Muslim minorities, roughly one-in-seven in France, Spain, and Great Britain feel that suicide bombings against civilian targets can at least sometimes be justified to defend Islam against its enemies." -- http://pewglobal.org/reports/display.php?ReportID=253

[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] das_watchdog V0.2.4 and jack_capture V0.3.7

by kjetil＠ccrma.stanford.edu

New source location: http://www.notam02.no/~kjetism/src/ (Sorry, I have temporarily lost access to both my previously used upload directories) das_watchdog ************************************************************************* Whenever a program locks up the machine, das_watchdog will temporarily sets all realtime process to non-realtime for 8 seconds. You will get an xmessage window up on the screen whenever that happens. Changes 0.2.3->0.2.4 -------------------- *Test if the xmessage program found during the make process is a valid executable. If not, search the $PATH instead. This should fix it for Gentoo when the pro-audio overlay is updated to at least this version. *Various modifications for the High Res Timer, which should be used instead of setting the timer interrupt process to SCHED_FIFO/99. jack_capture ************************************************************************* jack_capture is a small program to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into a file without having to patch jack connections, fiddle around with fileformats, or set options on the argument line. This is the program I always wanted to have for jack, but no one made. So here it is. Changes 0.3.1 -> 0.3.7: ----------------------- *Fixed potentional buffer underrun error. *Fixed potentional ringbuffer size allocation miscalculation. *Better way to set leading zeros in filename. Thanks to Melanie. *Better underrun handling. Thanks to Dmitry Baikov. *Added support for jack buffer size change. *Removed some unnecessary code and comments *Beautified code a bit. *Fixed a bug in the reconnection code. *Beautified code a lot. *Changed bufsize argument to accept seconds instead of frames. Default buffer size is 60 seconds. *Improved documentation and help option. *Beautified source a bit. *Fixed bug in ringbuffer size allocation. *Fixed so that more than one instance of jack_capture can run at once.

[linux-audio-dev] light C++ set for WAV

by Andrew Gaydenko

I mean some minimal C++ class set like: WavFile, WavHeader, WavFrame with few apparent methods (open/close, read/write frame(s)). Suggestions?

[linux-audio-dev] Popular LADSPA plug-ins to depend on?

by Jono Bacon

Hi all, I am working on LADSPA support in Jokosher and we want Jokosher to depend on particular plug-ins in different parts of the application. Specifically, I would like to see a powerful compressor and equalizer as part of the application. So, my question to you all is which compressor and equalizer do we depend on? Importantly, the chosen plug-ins need to exhibit the following qualities: * packages for all major distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, Fedora, Gentoo, SuSE etc.) * well maintained * very high quality audio quality Cheers, Jono

[linux-audio-dev] Basic MIDI question

by Lee Revell

I've never been a MIDI expert but I'm now having to learn. I have a question about this excerpt of a MIDI file viewed with hexedit. 00001BB0 22 80 3D 35 31 80 3A 39 0E 80 37 31 03 80 31 1F ".=51.:9..71..1. 00001BC0 81 0C 90 30 5B 00 90 3C 79 81 70 90 39 73 00 90 ...0[..<y.p.9s.. 00001BD0 36 69 4B 80 36 43 0A 80 3C 26 01 80 30 44 0A 80 6iK.6C..<&..0D.. 00001BE0 39 42 82 08 90 37 63 00 90 43 7B 81 70 90 3E 5E 9B...7c..C{.p.>^ 00001BF0 00 90 3A 66 08 80 37 30 02 80 43 32 31 80 3E 11 ..:f..70..C21.> Take the sequence "80 3D 35 31 80 3A 39 0E 80 37 31 03 80 31 1F" in the first line for example. I know that 0x80 is note-off, and 0x3D are note number and 0x35 the velocity of the note-off. But what the heck is the next byte, 0x31? The MIDI standard says note-off is one status byte followed by 2 data bytes! Lee

"Common things should be easy, and unusual things should be possible". The common things in MIDI are plug-and-play. Only the "unusual things" are "all about learning". NoteOn and NoteOff, sustain pedal, volume control, stereo pan, pitch-bend, mod-wheel ... these are all plug-and-play, and have been since the earliest days of MIDI. Manufacturers who make controllers know to send out these commands in a stylized way, and sound designers who write patches for synths (soft and hard) know to make their synths respond in an appropriate way to these controllers. And for a lot musicians, this is enough for them to do what they want to do. This is the MIDI world Garageband lives in, for example, and the biggest problem Apple has with Garageband is that it is an entry-level program that makes most of its users so happy that they aren't interested in upgrading to semi-pro software. --- John Lazzaro http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro lazzaro [at] cs [dot] berkeley [dot] edu ---

These profiles should standardize syntax and semantics. If you are working on a music project that is doing something that fits a profile, use the profile. Otherwise, do as you do today. If OSC goes down this route, one can imagine developing a recovery-journal system with recovery semantics for all the standard profiles. Part of developing a new OSC profile would be defining the recovery journal for the profile. The least of the benefits of a design like this would be network resiliency. The big win is by defining OSC profiles with semantics, it starts to make sense to create a hardware or software synth that "understands OSC profile X" out of the box, in the same way a synth understands MIDI. And you can also create mass-market controller hardware that "puts out OSC data using profile X". And so, you can connect the two boxes up and get plug and play -- just like MIDI. --- John Lazzaro http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro lazzaro [at] cs [dot] berkeley [dot] edu ---

RTP MIDI has several ways to deal with this. For senders that know the semantics of what they are sending (like, say, Novation would if they were adding Wi-Fi to their keyboard line), the recovery journal syntax for SysEx lets the sender specify recovery data in a way that's suitable to the semantics, and this encoding lets a receiver figure out how to use the data to recovery. For senders that don't know the semantics of what they are sending (like a box with MIDI DIN jacks on one end and a WiFi antenna on the other), there are several options. One is to use the recovery journal encoding for SysEx that is a simple list of all commands for a type of SysEx, and rely on more frequent RTCP feedback from receiver to sender to keep the journal trimmed to a reasonable length. Alternatively, It's possible to split a MIDI cable into two RTP MIDI streams -- one TCP and one UDP -- and gate the SysEx onto the TCP stream. > (especially custom sysex evil that throws interoperability completely > out the window). Most industry folks who need to do unusual things with MIDI don't start with SysEx. They start by making analogies of what they need to do with the standard MIDI command set, and repurposing. This is partially done to make sure DAWs can edit the data, and partially done to get the efficiency of running status over the wire. SysEx is used for secondary features. You can see this design philosophy in the Logic Control specification in Appendix B of: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Logic7_DedicatedCntrlSurfaceInfo.pdf If I were rewriting an OSC application to use MIDI, with an eye towards good RTP MIDI loss behavior, I'd take this re-purposing approach ... it would be curious to see how Jazzmutant did it, since in their latest release of Lemur MIDI is now a full-fledged transport and not sent via OSC, if I read this web page correctly: http://www.jazzmutant.com/lemur_lastupdate.php > Human readability and interoperability IS often > important (eg using supercollider or pd or whatever to control > things). I use Structured Audio in my own work, and Eric's Scheirer's language support design for MIDI has many good aspects. See: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/book/control/midi/index.html In 2006 if I were designing a replacement language, I'd do the MIDI interface language design differently, given my experience using and implementing SAOL. But I don't consider MIDI's use of SAOL as hard to program in its present state, apart from some details of extend() and turnoff for handling NoteOff release activities. --- John Lazzaro http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro lazzaro [at] cs [dot] berkeley [dot] edu ---
