That's all very well, but tuning quickly on stage in a live gig
is lot easier if your tuner goes down to the right pitch with
minimal fuss. (Speaking from long experience as gigging guitarist
and bassist).
The GA-1 tuner I mentioned isn't a true chromatic tuner, but
its ability to shift the standard guitar tunings down several
semitones is very useful. In modern metal genres C or B tunings
are probably more common than the standard EADGBE, so this isn't
just an edge case.

Currently in 'Scales' Yoshimi can set this anywhere between 1Hz and 2kHz, which
is frankly ridiculous.
This doesn't appear at all in the Scala documentation, so that's no guide.
I've had suggestions ranging from +- 1/2 semitone to +- half octave as being
more than enough, considering that there is also semitone master key shift
covering +- 3 octaves (used to be 5!) along with a fine detune of +63 -64
cents.
What have other synth people here set for this? Does anyone else actually have
the setting?

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hi all:
I've been trying to make my OSC2MIDI app work as an internal client for the
MOD Duo. However I've got some misunderstanding or something. I'm first
just trying it on desktop (debian) but even compiling the example internal
client at
https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2/blob/develop/example-clients/inprocess.c
and running
lack_load /home/spencer/inprocess
yeilds the same result as when I try to run osc2midi. It fails with the
message intclient = 0 status = 0x1
Are the internal clients supposed to be in a special directory or
something? I haven't had any luck with the googles for documentation or
examples beyond the source for the client.
My source is at https://github.com/ssj71/OSC2MIDI/tree/jack_internal/src if
it helps.
If more information about my system or whatever would be helpful just let
me know. Thanks,
_Spencer
Guitarix release 0.38.1
Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for
jack (Linux), with an additional mono and a stereo effect rack.
Guitarix includes a large list of LV2 and LADSPA plugins, and support
LADSPA / LV2 plugs as well in it's racks.
The guitarix engine is designed for LIVE usage, and feature ultra fast,
glitch and click free preset switching and is full Midi and remote
controllable (the Web UI is not included in the distributed tar ball).
*This is a critical bug-fix release.*
In version 0.38.0 the state (preset) wasn't loaded correctly by the
engine on startup, this release fix that.
When you've already upgraded to 0.38.0, please consider to update again
to 0.38.1
Still the LV2 plugins coming with guitarix using a Gtkmm based UI, I'll
work on it to port them to X11 based UI's.
Refer to our project page for more information:

Hi all.
As usual the second Tuesday of the month is upon us. I'll be in the
mainhall from 20:00.
See you there.
Cheers

PS Let's keep the follow-up discussion in the LAU thread. DS
With a discussion about latency in the Jack lists, I thought
I ask a question I've been wondering:
By connecting a cable from a HW output to a HW input, one
can measure the round-trip latency.
But if the purpose is to try to determine the absolute
output latencies of the output port and the input port,
by say, dividing the round-trip value by 2 and assuming
this value applies to both ports, then won't this concept
fail if the output port has a different latency than the
input port? Say, by using two different devices for the
input and output ports.
I find myself asking what exactly transport position is and
how it relates to the data in the outside physical world.
I wonder if it would make sense to build an external
hardware transport position indicator so that the latency
test signals could be compared with it.
For example to measure an output port's latency:
------>--[HW transport position indicator]-->---
[PC]------- |
--- | |
| -->-[Audio output port]-------->---[Comparator]
| |
-----<--[Delay measurement]-------<-----------
The remaining unknown - the input port latency would be
given by subtracting this measured value from the total
round-trip latency.
Sound crazy?
Thanks.
Tim.

The guitarix engine is designed for LIVE usage, and feature ultra fast,

From the changelog:
 * fix bug #67, don't use malloc.h on FreeBSD
 * remove assert for ports count, to allow save removing of changed
LV2 plugins
 * add new option -E --hideonquit, this makes the UI experience smooth
when used as LV2 plugin
 * add support for LV2_URID_Map, LV2_URID_Unmap and LV2_OPTIONS to
allow more plugs to load
 * fix compiler warnings with gcc 8
 * add exit handler and warning when samplerate is above 96kHz
 * hide splash on error message
 * set online help to sourcforge/discussion
 * fix build against boost-1.69
 * add Russian-language translation by Valeriy Shtobbe and Olesya
Gerasimenko, many thanks!
 * update all build scripts to use faust version 2.15.11 and update
all generated faust files
Still the LV2 plugins coming with guitarix using a Gtkmm based UI, I'll
work on it to port them to X11 based UI's.

hi all,
just back home safe and waaay smoother than when getting there first :)
now,
for all the traditional and lousy unedited photos, straight out and
dumped from the camera sd-card:

(note that the weather was lousy, cloudy and rainy...)
cheers and thanks for all the fish(*)
