[linux-audio-dev] ANN: Specimen v0.2.1 released

by Pete Bessman

I almost wanted to call this 0.3.0, but it's not quite there. This release adds a filter with resonance, ADSR volume envelopes, independent direction and duration play mode configuration, and a highly optimized resampling routine that easily accomodates 64 note polyphony on my Athlon 1.33. www.gazuga.net, as usual, has the latest. I'm also going to dry and address the gazillion loose ends in that other thread (I can't keep up with it anymore, so here's a fresh start). Patrick: There is no .glade file. All the UI code was written by hand, and as I said before, I highly dependent on the patch infrastructure having a certain interface. Jan: Coding gui events over ports does not sound like my cup of tea. That would also be a pain since that is radically different from what my gui code currently does. Dave: I agree with all those features, they are on their way. I just have to take care of the basics first. Steve: Nice to able to express a good old fashioned dissonant opinion, thanks for granting me that slack. Everybody: Perhaps I should emphasize a few facts: a) Specimen is a few months old. b) Specimen is my first real program. c) Every day I sit down and code, I churn out around 500 to 1000 lines. d) I intend for Specimen to be a professional quality music maker. Granted, I haven't written design documents and such about how Specimen will be professional, but that's mainly because I've been spending my time working on the actual program. It won't be more than a couple more months before the vast majority of features necessary for making rich music are available. I also have no experience with hardware samplers, my old instrument of choice was FruityLoops, so I'm not thinking in terms of the way Real Samplers work. I'm trying to make a tool that makes music with the best possible tradeoff between flexibility and ease of use, and maximal quality all around. OK, I've donned my asbestos armor, let 'er rip. [pb]

[linux-audio-dev] RME Hammerfall digi9652 setup difficulty

by lad＠k--b.org

Hello all. I hope I am not imposing to ask a setup question here at the developers' list. I've asked at linux-audio-users, agnula lists, and on various irc channels to no avail. I've recently purchased an RME Hammerfall digi9652 soundcard and am trying to get it setup with ALSA. I'm not particularly attached to any distribution but am most comfortable with Debian and am currently trying DeMuDi 1.1.0. Initially, lspci reported: "Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx Corporation: Unkown device 2fc4 (rev 03)" After moving the card to another free pci slot, lspci states: "Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx Corporation RME Digi9652 (Hammerfall)" It looks like the card is being recognized on some basic level but /etc/init.d/alsa start gives the error: "RME Digi9652/Digi9636: no cards found" Is anyone here using this card that might have some advice for me? Any help is greatly appreciated. Kris Bergstrom -- H5n9d0+5

[linux-audio-dev] Some music made with Linux

by Pete Bessman

Hi all, Check out http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/eastsidemilitiamusic.htm After getting Specimen to an acceptable state, I threw together this proper demo. It has no vocals since me and my larynx don't get along, but I encourage anyone who so desires to rectify that deficiency. I used Seq24 for MIDI sequencing, Specimen for sampling, and Ardour for recording. Except for the guitars, everything in this song was produced by Specimen+Seq24. Someone on this list asked me to keep a detailed journal of the process by which I created this (unfortunately I can't remember who). Well, as far as the Linux side of things goes, it's not very interesting. I used the aforementioned tools in a typical fashion. For general recording, any account I have to write would be duplication of effort. Instead, check out: http://www.tweakheadz.com/guide.htm Oh, and give the song a listen beyond the cheesy introduction. That part is meant to sound cheesy. If the rest of the song sounds cheesy, then I'm a failure, but have patience with the intro ;-) [pb]

[linux-audio-dev] wcnt-1.1001 release

by James W. Morris

Hello people, I've just released Wav Composer Not Toilet 1.1001 on sourceforge. (wcnt.sourceforge.net) I wondered if anyone could compile it on different distros etc, as I'm not overly confident it will. The reason being I'm not sure I've got autoconf etc set up correctly, as when I create a new project in Anjuta, it will not autogenerate it. I've had to import the project from the last release and modify the makefile.am's so it will compile the new source files. It compiles alright on my system anyway. Just a side note, for those who remember the wcnt filters thread. I changed the filters so they now have a feedback input. I've linked together 3 lowpass filters, the first gets feedback from the last, and the second and third feedback into themselves, one of which has a negative feedback level. Also there is a range_limit module before the feedback is fedback which clips the signal. The result sounds to me like a cross between resonance and echo/reverb. I was pleasantly surprised. This can be found in the examples within the tarball.

[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] TAP-plugins 0.4.0

by Tom Szilagyi

Hi all, TAP-plugins 0.4.0 is just released. Check it out at: http://tap-plugins.sf.net New plugins: * TAP Pitch Shifter Gives you the opportunity to change the pitch of individual tracks or full mixes, in the range of plus/minus one octave. Audio length (tempo) is not affected by this plugin, since audio is completely resampled. * TAP Rotary Speaker Simulates the sound of rotating speakers. Two pairs of rotating speakers are simulated, each pair fixed on a vertical axis, with their horns spreading the sound in opposite directions. * TAP Vibrato Modulates the pitch of its input signal with a low-frequency sinusoidal signal. It is useful for guitar and synth tracks, and it can also come handy if a strange effect is needed. Bugfixes: * Fixed crashing bug in TAP Reverberator (this bug appeared with hosts that call activate() before connect_port()). * Fixed lock-up bug in TAP DeEsser (the bug appeared when an input sample had +/- INF value). * Various smaller bugfixes (almost all plugins locked up when control input values of +/- INF were appiled). A recommended upgrade ;-) Enjoy, Tom

[linux-audio-dev] have to restart jack between ecasound sessions

by Eric Dantan Rzewnicki

I'm starting jack via jackstart like this: jackstart -v -R -d alsa -d ice1712 -r 44100 -p 64 -n 2 I can run ecasound in many ways (different chain settups, via ecaplay, wav or ogg input, etc.) one time only. If I try to run another ecasound session without restarting jack the second ecasound exits like this: audiobox:~$ ecaplay /mnt/audio/in_progress/guitar_mix/s2004-0217-2242.ogg *********************************************************************** * Message from libecasoundc: * * 'ECASOUND' environment variable not set. Using the default value * value 'ECASOUND=ecasound'. *********************************************************************** (ecaplay) Playing file '/mnt/audio/in_progress/guitar_mix/s2004-0217-2242.ogg'. exiting... It doesn't return ... just hangs like that until I ctrl-c it. If I strace the ecaplay it's waiting for ecasound: audiobox:~# strace -p 450 Process 450 attached - interrupt to quit waitpid(451, <unfinished ...> Process 450 detached which is stuck in a futex(): audiobox:~# strace -p 451 Process 451 attached - interrupt to quit futex(0x413e6bf8, FUTEX_WAIT, 453, NULL Once I kill the ecaplay w/ctrl-c the "ecasound -c -D" remains until I use kill -9 on it. Anything else I can do to help debug this? System details below.

[linux-audio-dev] MIDI interface latency

by jrobbins＠nymu.net

Anybody know what's the minimum latency that can be achieved passing MIDI notes from one computer to another? I'm wondering if it's possible in theory to set up an audio generation cluster to be used as a realtime instrument. Basically, have a network aware synthesis app running on all machines, administer the setup/modification of the signal flow architecture from one master machine in non-rt over sockets, and then pass notes to the appropriate machines using midi interfaces. Naturally this depends on a signal path separable into big chunks. I have a hunch that midi over ip has latency too high and unpredictable for this. -jacob
