[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] E-Radium V0.61b

Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ E-Radium V0.61b --------------- Released 12.7.2005 INTRODUCTION ------------ E-radium is Radium and a special version of E-UAE. Radium is a midi music editor for the amiga and E-Uae is an amiga emulator. This version of E-Uae is a hacked version of 0.28cvs, which runs with realtime priority to get accurate timing and supports alsa-seq to access midi. It does not hog the cpu as much as e-uae does either so it can be used together with various sound synthesis software running simultaniously in linux. E-radium has been tested with both the 2.4 kernel and the 2.6 kernel and with a ~1GhZ machine and a ~2ghz machine. (A 2.4 kernel with a 100hz resolution timer will proably not work very nice though.) COMPILING --------- make RUNNING ------- 1. Run ./e-radium 2. Unpress the "Pause" button. 3. Select which resolution you want to run radium with. 4. Connect midi-ports with qjackctl, aconnect, qconnect or similar tools. CONFIGURING THE KEYBOARD ------------------------ If you are a non-us keyboard user, you might have to configure the keyboard by setting the approporitate type. e-uae currently supports fr, us, de, dk, se, it and es. Pick the one closest to what you use, and put it into the "kbd_lang"-field in the file ".uarc-radium". (The keyboard should rather have been mapped directly from the keys though....)

ABOUT MIDI ---------- E-radium creates 8 public alsa-midi seq ports. Currently, only the 2 first ones are enabled. To enable more, check out the file s/startup-sequence. On the linux-side (alsa-seq), the name of the ports are uae0, uae1, uae2 and so on. On the amiga-side (camd), the name of the ports are mmp.0, mmp.1, mmp.2 and so on. These are directly connected if enabled in s/startup-sequence. Radium is currently configured to read midi from the uae0 alsa midi port. LINUX VERSION OF RADIUM ----------------------- Radium runs quite okey on its own (v0.63), but its not quite there yet. Until its there, running it via uae is the only way to use it besides using a real amiga of course (altough that is much slower than emulating).
