Hello,
I just released a new version of tapiir. Tapiir now supports jack.
Tapiir can be found at
http://www.iua/~mdeboer/projects/tapiir/
Tapiir is a simple and flexible audio effects processor, inspired on
the classical magnetic tape delay systems used since the early days
of electro-acoustic music composition. It provides a graphical user
interface consisting of six delay lines, or "taps", which can
introduce an almost arbitrarily big or small delay to their inputs
and can be feed back to each other.
A wide set of effects can be easily achieved by properly configuring
and connecting the delay lines: complex echo patterns, resonances,
filtering, etc. Delays, interconnections and gains can all be
controlled in real time.

I know that there are quite a few musicians on this list so I thought
they might be interested in this (if they didn't already know about it).
I was reading an article yesterday (I don't remember where) that was
talking about the BSA fining businesses for unlicensed software. Lo and
behold, the first business cited (for 8 unlicensed copies of M$) was
Ernie Ball/Music Man. Apparently they got stung for $90,000.00 US. The
article stated that Ernie Ball immediately switched to "open source" and
never looked back. Being a curious person, I sent an email to Ernie
Ball to find out what "open source" meant. The answer is Red Hat
Linux. It's nice to see a fairly large music business getting the
message.
It appears that the BSA may be one of open source's biggest allies.

Just a quick question. After installing Redhat 8, I'm a bit concerned by the
follwing line in my /proc/interrupts:
10: 476 XT-PIC usb-uhci, usb-uhci, EMU10K1
Aside from the extreme nausea resulting from learning that my sacred MIDI port
is being put in the same office as the disgusting mundane usb port, is this
a performance issue if I'm not actually using the usb port?
I suspect there is a bit of a hit because the interrupt handler now has to
poll all the sources, but I maybe not - I understand the principles of
interrupt handling but not the specifics of the PCI bus or the linux kernel.
So do I need to do something about this, or not?

I've just checked in a new ebuild for rosegarden-4 0.8.5.
(media-sound/rosegarden) it's currently masked.
I'd appreciate any feedback letting me know if i can move it to stable
- i don't have the midi hardware to do much testing.
Cheers
j.
