Greetings everybody, this time I'm temporarily a Yupee, as in upstate
michigan.
I brought a laptop along, with linux on it, FC5, 386 version on an AMD64
turion in an HP dv5320us laptop..
The audio chipset in this is, from an lspci -v:
0:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 AC'97
Audio Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 30a4
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
Memory at c0003400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
Capabilities: [40] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit-
Queue=0/0 Enable-
The problem is that anything that requires it to handle a full duplex
audio stream falls over very quickly. Skype in 10 seconds, ekiga even
quicker, and in audacity, it will record great, and it will playback
what it records great, but if you ask it to play as it records like one
would do for overdubs and such, the sound in the headphones represents
only that amount of the audio that may have hit the rails in the a-d,
very chopped up, and often sounding like an echo thats cut into 2ms
pieces and spread out over the next 30 seconds.
Is there any known cure for this other than sueing HP for such a shitty
piece of hardware that cost me about $1399 at CC? That of course will
be a waste of time because their warranty shop says any and all
warranties on it were null and void the instant I put a linux dvd in the
drive.
Any hints that result in getting something like skype or ekiga working
will be applied with many profuse thanks offered.

Already through it. Doesn't look that great and Steve and
me would rather like to avoid any possible LV 2 vs LV II
confusion. Should there ever be a LV 10, it should
be LVX, though, because that's so cool ;)

Hi all-
I tried fst-1.7 under the latest version of wine on my Slackware 10.1
system--no luck still.
I'm beginning to think that fst is not playing nice with glibc-2.3.4
Can someone who has used Kontakt under Linux share the output
of /lib/libc.so.6 here with me so I can compare?
Also, if glibc is indeed the problem, is there smething I can change in the
fst code that would make it work with my current version if I can show
debugging info--I prefer not to go through the headache of overhauling my
entire system if there's a uick fix in fst code instead.
Another question--barring that, if I do replace glibc, will I have to
recompile my kernel, wine, etc?
Best,
Aaron.

Not I decided, but Steve. Given his effort he has all the right
to do so as far as I'm concerned and I support this decision.
Please keep this thread clean of debate about the name from
now. Best the whole list, actualy ;)

Hi all,
<the problem>
Trying to implement starting the playing of a track at
a user defined cursor position (not at the start).
Also trying to implement looping. Anybody got any info
or code snippets that could help (c or c++ - not too
complicated though and without too much tangential
code).
I am sorry but I find the alsa documentation not very
helpful. The documentation of the concept of the
sequencer is either out of date or in another case
just enough to get people going. The api documentation
is just woe-ful. I have had to constantly look at
other peoples' code (and try to understand what they
were up to). Have I missed finding some top notch
documentation?
</the problem>
<program description>
Java based gui programme using the java native
interface (JNI) and a c library to access alsa
sequencer. Java allows for a high level of platform
independence. The c library, accessed via the JNI, can
be re-written to interface with various libraries like
portmidi to allow for full platform independence (with
some caveats no doubt).
The concept is the usual song has tracks, which have
parts which have events. Each track also has a global
part for automation data (volume, pan etc).
Each track has 64 patterns (parts). The sequencer
allows for a looping audition mode (using the selected
pattern from each track ). Song mode allows these
patterns to be inserted on a per track basis as
required to create an arrangement.
At the moment the sequencer ends up being very jack
and linux oriented in that many jack audio
applications are started up and managed by the
application itself. I am not sure how this would
translate onto windows. Also because many independent
jack applications are being run things like jackrack
also need to be run (for effects) and jack connections
managed. If there is a windows equivalent maybe
someone could let me know (I haven't touched windows
in years except at uni and in the workplace).

<personal backgound info>
I finished uni at the end of last year (after many
years of working full time and studying at half load,
then finally studying full time) and have had some
time on my hands. I have now fully revised a lot of
stuff for getting a job (2 interviews in 5 months - so
it's pretty slow going), built a business web app
using java JSPs, java tag libraries, struts and JDO
JPox for my wife and now I am working on some old code
to build a midi sequencer based around the way I like
to make music (patterns and automation).
</personal backgound info>
Sorry about the above waffle but it explains why have
subscribed to this list for quite a few years and
never contributed anything.
Thanks
Kev

Baudline (http://www.baudline.com) is a fantastic viewer that does fft
cascade. I've used it for a couple of years, and it is great for figuring out
how different sounds "work", and it has an oscilloscope-type display as well.

Hello.
I finally started making my pet music project and realized I need a
drum synth to make some cool sounds. psindustrializer is good but also
need some tr-909-style sounds. I remeber from my old windoze days I
used a nice piece of software called Stomper. Does anybody know any
software for linux with comparable capabilities? Or we need to write
one?
Stomper does not work under wine :(
Thanks.
Hello.
I had a couple of articles on drum synths. Check
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/sci/audio/devel/lad/drumsynth/
I built the circuit in a00*.jpg at the time when this article
was fresh. The article b00*jpg mentions an earlier article.
I will check that out at library.
Hmm.. I coded a drum synth for Commodore VIC-20 at the time.
VIC provided an audio chip with three oscillators, noise,
and a common volume if I remember correctly. What I did was to
modulate osc pitch and volume parameters with a fast and accurate
(compared to Basic) assembly code. The drum sounds were assigned to
the keys. This was about 1984, inspired by Yamaha's digital RX drum
synths, not by analog drums.

Hello all,
The long announced new release of Aeolus is finally available.
Version 0.6.6 is almost a complete rewrite of the previous
official release, 0.3.1 (a lot happened in bewteen).
This should still be considered a beta release - no doubt
some nasty bugs will be uncovered when this version is used
more widely.
This release has been reported to build and work 'out of the box'
on a 64-bit system, but 64-bit support is still experimental.
At the same time, jaaa, japa, jace and jdelay have been
updated to use the new shared libraries. So support for
the older libs and everything using them will stop.
There's also one small new thing, jnoise. This is a
simple command line JACK app producing accurate white
and pink noise.
As always, everyhting is to be found at
http://users.skynet.be/solaris/linuxaudio
There are also some new Aeolus demo files by Bert Visser,
as heard at the LAC2006 demo.
Enjoy !
