Hi!
Finaly I'm done with my redesign of http://lad.linuxaudio.org
My first aim was fast and easy access to suscription and archives.
Contents of the Contrib directory are now under events. With the
exception of 2003_practical-linux, which I don't know what to
do with (bunch of xml slides?).
Kicked all PHP and took care of validating XHTML 1.0 Strict.
History and Credits are now combined. Would be good if those
who remember check the text.
I hope the new version of the LAD logo is ok :)
Plan to add a download section also containing the old one
later on.
Open for all suggestions, remarks and criticism :)

Hi,
Canorus, the successor to the music score editor NoteEdit is looking
for developers wanting to join the project. The project is hosted on
berlios and provides SVN access to the sources as well as a Wiki for
project discussions.
I put out a first release based on the current SVN. You can fetch it
from http://prdownload.berlios.de/canorus/canorus-0.0.2.tar.bz2.
Homepage: http://canorus.berlios.de
Wiki: http://canorus.berlios.de/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Contact: http://canorus.berlios.de/contact.html
Canorus is the next generation music score editor (multiple viewports
of the same score, scripting support, score source view, fast and
intuitive UI, free software and cross-platform) . Technically it is
based on Qt4, uses CMake as project management tool, swig for scripting
/ macros integration (primary script languages are ruby and python) and
the cross platform rtmidi library for the MIDI playback.
Canorus is searching for developers with experience in the fields C++,
Ruby, Qt4, XML, Parsing, User Interfaces, Music Composition and Theory,
Translators, Score Editing Unit Tests.
Some of the tasks are:
- Add several UI parts (either via Ruby or in the core) like Settings,
several different property perspectives, Lyrics, Import / Export
- Development of a robust test engine for the user interface and
its core (could be done via scripting)
- Import parsers for ABC Music, Lilypond, MusicXML, MUP (& NoteEdit),
MusiXTeX, PMX, MIDI etc.
- Export for several formats like the above
- Recording and replay of macros
- Multi-Level Undo/Redo (for different perspectives)
If you want to join the project just mail me your berlios unix name
(user name you use to log into berlios). I'd use that name for a wiki
account too and will send you a password you should change as soon
as possible.
A big "thank you!" to everyone making this project possible.
Best regards,
Reinhard Katzmann

It appears to have been more than a year since the company was mentioned
at all.
Has anyone ever tried contacting them about specs to write drivers for
newer devices than the ones listed on their developer page?
http://developers.marian.de/
Specifically, say the Trace D4 cards? It looks like the newer cards
like the Trace D4 use a FPGA for everything rather than some sort of
programable logic attached to a PLX PCI interface chip, which I'm
guessing means that their legacy documentation bears little relevence to
their current cards.
They do invite people to contact them about information not found there.
One appealing aspect of their products is they allow hardware syncing of
different cards (which M-Audio also does), and they have a wide variety
of card types (all analog, all digital AES, ADAT, with or without midi,
etc).

I stumbled on this one today:
http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8030785497.html
- Trolltech, best known for development tools and Linux application
stacks for phones and other mobile devices, will ship an "open"
Linux-based phone in September. The "Greenphone" features a
user-modifiable Linux OS, and is meant to jumpstart a third-party native
application ecosystem for Linux-based mobile phones.
[...]
So far I've figured out that it's an Xscale of the kind with mmx, which
suits my purposes just fine. And that there is a /dev/dsp in there
somewhere :-)
I have no idea what kind of price point they are considering, but I have
notifyed my significant other that this is the *ultimate* christmas
present for a u**x geek ...
I suppose one will have to "play" it by wawing ones hand in front of the
camera?
i really recommend pyseq and midikinesis by peter brinkmann... you can
find it here: http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~brinkman/software/
after playing around in python interactive shell (actually ipython for
me) for a bit i got note playing in fluidsynth.. this is how it looked
like:
1 : import pyseq
2 : seq = pyseq.MidiTee('miditi')
## after this you can find miditi with aconnect -lo or -li or better
qjackctl.. connect it with fluidsynth or some other synth and then:
3 : e=pyseq.snd_seq_event()
4 : e.setNoteOn(0, 60, 127)
5 : seq.callback(e)
this was way easier than anything else i ever tried... i dunno if this
is the right way to do that but i just feel to say: all kudos to
brinkman ;)
several years ago, i wrote an system to control an ICube MIDI Sensor
interface, described here:
http://equalarea.com/paul/icube
unfortunately, the actual software has gone missing, even google cannot
find it.
if anyone has a copy of the software, i'd like to get a copy of it.
