> i'm not up to understanding all implications of the fact that the > incoming signal is not a pure sine; This intrigued me -- I think the answer is that the process is not linear -- you get sum and difference tones much as in complex fm. I added an example to clm.html. Back when Marc and I were first messing around with waveshaping, I asked him about some way to set up the poynomials to get a particular spectral evolution as the amp increases (input amp being similar to fm index in this context) -- you can use Chebychev polynomials of the 2nd kind to play single-sideband tricks, so it seemed like there might be possibilities; other things intervened, and I don't think Marc ever got around to dealing with it.

[linux-audio-dev] Re: Cheby amp code

by Tim Goetze

found out some interesting facts about the chebyshev. been playing around a little with a chebyshev shaper, feeding it various harmonic amplitudes and a sine oscillation, taking an FT afterward. it seems that in order to get a harmonic of amplitude 0.5, you must not pass 0.5 to chebpc for that harmonic, but sqrt(2)/2. for a harmonic of amplitude .333333333, pass in sqrt(3)/3, etc. thus, if we want amplitude 'a' for a given harmonic, the chebpc coefficient is 'a * sqrt (1/a)' rather than simply 'a'. (negative amplitudes: ?). the peak value of the chebyshev-shaped output will be the sum of all coefficients calculated in this manner. the further the incoming sine is scaled down (from [-1,+1]), the less the harmonic mix will match the wanted amplitudes. for the amp code, this would mean we should probably try the following: compress/expand the incoming signal to fit exactly into [-1, 1] (normalize). the coefficient tables need some treatment, too -- we want the output sum to be 1, and the relative strengths of the harmonics to match. i'm not up to understanding all implications of the fact that the incoming signal is not a pure sine; neither do i have a recipe for preparing the coefficient tables -- if we scale the individual coefficients by 1/sum their mix will not match what we want. tim

Re: [linux-audio-dev] GUIless friendly applications

by Benno Senoner

We at the LinuxSampler project, http://linuxsampler.sourceforge.net will go the GUIless route too and as Juan L. suggested it is probably wise to use a TCP socket because it allows remote controllability which can sometimes be very helpful. Imagine these racks found in webfarms starting making music :-) Anyway as our project advances, I hope that some good soul will implement a CLI interface for the sampler too so that it becomes more accessibile for people with disabilities. I agree with your stance about merging GUI and engine code: it is a mess and often introduces many maintenance and performance problems. Most audio programmer so not seem to realize that using mutexes called from GUI threads that share data with the audio thread speaks SUICIDE because you will never be able to ensure that your sub-5 msec audio engine does not drop out under heavy load. Yes ... (blocking) mutexes simplify a bit the programmer's task , but I'm sorry to say it your product will never be usable in the pro audio field. Hoping for a peaceful, client-server centric audio application world. :-) Benno -- http://linuxsampler.sourceforge.net Building a professional grade software sampler for Linux.

Re: [linux-audio-dev] anyone interested in porting a GPL'ed VST plugin?

Time to intruduce an instrument API or extend LADSPA ? Of course one can write a standalone JACK client (currently probably the best thing to do), but this means reinventing the wheel all over again. Let see what comes out of LinuxSampler, the discussions and ideas proposed on the list are quite interesting perhaps it would not be a bad idea to add VST instrument support so that opensource plugins like that one could be easily ported without needing and extensive rewrite (at least for the DSP part, the GUI stuff is a separate issue). Does anyone remember if it is possibile to use the VST headers (unmodified) on Linux or is Steinberg against ? I remember that some time ago Paul Davis wrote about these issues on the mailing lists but I do not remember what the outcome was. Thoughts ?

Fwd: Re: [Rosegarden-devel] Fwd: [linux-audio-dev] GUIless friendly applications

by Richard Bown

Regarding GUI toolkits that support accessibility directly there's some information about Qt attached. Rosegarden and MusE both use Qt/KDE and both support softsynths through the ALSA seq interface so there might be some benefit in attempting to use these apps under Qt3.0 directly.

Hard to tell. Nothing too serious at the moment I'm afraid. http://doc.trolltech.com/3.1/keyfeatures30.html "Accessibility Accessibility means making software usable and accessible to a wide range of users, including those with disabilities. In Qt 3.0, most widgets provide accessibility information for assistive tools that can be used by a wide range of disabled users. Qt standard widgets like buttons or range controls are fully supported. Support for complex widgets, like e.g. QListView, is in development. Existing applications that make use of standard widgets will become accessible just by using Qt 3.0. Qt uses the Active Accessibility infrastructure on Windows, and needs the MSAA SDK, which is part of most platform SDKs. With improving standardization of accessibility on other platforms, Qt will support assistive technologies on other systems, too. " Now that's all nice and dandy but it doesn't say anything about what this "accessibility information" is, which platforms it works with, etc...

Umm, actually I'd heard nearly the exact opposite opinion voiced on more than one occasion, namely, that higher-sample rates are basically an audio industry ploy to sucker rich yuppies wth $5000 USD power amps into buying "Sgt. Pepper" and "Are You Experienced" in yet another format. Personally, I'm inclined to believe that, and I do consider myself an audiofile. FWIW, I also run everything, even the DAT machine (yes, I've still got one) at 44.1, even though my Delta can handle 96, because I really don't like to deal with resampling, and nothing I'm doing at this point has any likelihood of ending up on DVD-A anytime soon.

[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] QJackConnect 0.0.1

by Dr. Matthias Nagorni

Hi, QJackConnect 0.0.1, a QT based patchbay for JACK, is available from http://www.suse.de/~mana/jack.html or ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mana/qjackconnect-0.0.1.tar.bz2 This is the first official release (some pre releases have been already in use, but they were based on a bad hack) and its published under GPL. Thanks to Kai Vehmanen for sending a patch which adapts QJackConnect to the current CVS of JACK and finally resolves the bad hack. I also wrote a small FM synthesizer which is both a (minimal) client to JACK and the ALSA sequenzer system. jack_miniFMsynth.c is available from the QJackConnect webpage as well. Have fun !
