Hi all.
I have been working on a 'simple sampleplayer' that acts as an ALSA sequencer
client and can be used to play for example drum samples and loops.
Check the simsam homepage at http://simsam.sourceforge.net and download
via CVS.
There are still many things to fix... check the README for details.
Requirements:
ALSA 0.9
QT 3.0.x
libaudiofile
jack
Any feedback is welcome!
cheers,
Christian Henz

Christian,
Hi. Cool. Congrats.
I've been thinking that we need a Linux app sort of like Battery from
Native Instruments. It strikes me that you are already a long way towards
that. Maybe you can look into what they do, and then as you do more coding
you could potentially grow a bit in that direction? That would be very
useful!
Thanks,
Mark

be sure to check out rythmnlab (see dave's linux sound+midi pages for
a link). i have a rewritten (C++), cleaned up, JACK-ified version that
has been pending for months and months now. it was intended to be a
hard test of the "porting an OSS-model app to JACK" and indeed, it was
so hard i had to rewrite it :)
anyway, my point is that rythmnlab is really cool. not as cool as
battery, perhaps, but really cool.

Paul,
Thanks. Rhythmlab looks like fun. (Assuming I found the right one. I
actually ended up using Google since it didn't pop out at me on Dave's
pages.) Here's what I'm looking at:
http://www.enteract.com/~asl2/music/RhythmLab/#About . If this isn't the one
you're speaking of, please let me know.
While this looks useful, I think what attracted me about the little app
the Christian has started is that it appears to be intended to be used as a
MIDI device and not something that makes rhythm patterns. This is what I
like about Battery as I do my MIDI drum programming other ways, but can
easily insert the drum samples I want very quickly. For my more permanent
kits I use GigaStudio and build a kit, but that takes more time so I don't
do it unless I'm pretty sure I really need the kit. With Battery I can just
sort of throw a bunch of samples together and get results pretty quickly.
Anyway, thanks for the pointer.
Mark

Excellent. You don't know how long I've been waiting for something like this.
Any feedback is welcome!
On my machine, alsa mode won't work unless I'm root. When using it in JACK
mode I can only hear sound from the left-hand speaker {*}.
When in trigger mode, it doesn't seem to want to play more than one
note of the same sample at the same time -- if this has to be the case then
it would be better if the new note caused the previous one to stop rather
than not being triggered.
Also, I had to edit the makefiles to get it to compile, as my qt3 is in a
different place.
One thing that would be really nice in the future is the ability to assign
different samples to different jack outputs. Then they could all have
different effects chains applied to them in real-time in ssm or ardour or
something. It would be like having a hardware sampler with loads of outputs
and a big pile of outboard stuff.
It's an excellent tool -- I'm just beginning to imagine the possibilities...
{*} incidentally, is there any user-level documentation around about how to
do routing between different JACK apps? I understand that ardour has a
patchbay facility, but I haven't been able to figure out how to access it yet.

There are no working patchbay apps for jack yet, there are some patches
that need applying to the core to make the possible, and the patchbays
will need to be changed slightly. Mea culpa.

Steve,
What would the GUI look like for a jack-patch-bay app? Something like
kaconnect with the ability to choose where jack application outputs get
routed to? Just curious.

There is one exatly like kaconnect, called qjackconnect or something
similar.
Someone also proposed a pd style interface, and I'm sure there will be
many more now the API works.

Can I use qjackconnect for that? I thought that was just some Debian thing.
I need to look around for source code then.
Thanks Steve!

Yes, though it messes with jacks head at the moment. I think the author is
planning to change it to the new (working) API soon.
