Hi,
is it possible to use an external mixer and have some multitrack mixing
app react on what I do with the knobs?
I am running alsa 0.9.2 and the 2.5.66 kernel. It's an Acer laptop with
one pcmcia slot, two USB ports, one parport and one 'monitor' port
Any suggestions for a particular device/app setup?
Thanks a lot.
Jan

No, no - I can't get anything to run properly on that machine, and don't expect
to. I'd master on my Marantz cassette recorder first! I look forward to trying
out the system once I'm into 1+GHz proc. speeds.

Hello!
I have tried to run fluidsynth-1.0.1 on my Linux system with an ES1371
sound card (i want to attach a MIDI keyboard to the sound card's midi
input). But it said that there's no device /dev/midi .
There indeed is none, but midi0, midi1, midi2, midi3, midi00, midi01,
midi02, midi03 are present.
I tried:
ln -s /dev/midi0 /dev/midi
but this did not help - fluidsynth still says that no device named
/dev/midi is available.
Is there any way for me to use fluid with my PC's midi input?

Ahh, yes time, but also working out a UI for it. Its kinda optional, so I
doubt it will make 0.1.

Well, theres almost nothing to SDL (well the parts I used anyway), I just
dont think its appropriate, I ended up writing widget code for the sliders
and stuff, which is why they suck so much. In retrosect just using GTK
would have been easier.

The intention wasn't that it be especially private, I just didn't think
anyone else would want to work on it. I originally wanted to get beta bug
reports from a small number of people so I could handle the feedback, but
I dont think that will be a problem now.

Thats a good point. The current state is that I'm halfway through
refactoring the UI code to make some of the compressor controls rotary, so
its impossible to tell what its doing at the moment. The question is
wether its quicker to rescue the SDL code or replace it with GTK code or
similar.
Is there anyone else who wants to work on this? If not I'l just leave the
code where it is for now and give Patrick a login on the machine. If there
are a few people I'l have to move it to sourceforge or something, but I
dont really want to do that cos I think theres going to be some major
structural work needs doing.

Hello,
I have just got fluidsynth to run on my Linux box. It works fine with
most soundfonts.
But I ran into a strange problem with "Jeux d'orgues 2", the big organ
soundfont which is right at the top of hammersound.net's organ list.
It plays, but produces a click on every release of a key!
Of course I looked at the output of "top" in a different console, and
fluidsynth was only using 10% or so of teh cpu. No other tasks were
running (before I started "top").
I can't check it with an SB Live, so I do not know if it is perhaps a
problem in the soundfont. But somehow I doubt a soundfont woth such an
obvious bug would be up there for so long and the author would not
notice. So, can this be a problem with fluidsynth or my system?
And, is there a way to check, without access to an SB Live? (Perhaps I
should try to install timidity?)
By the way, is there any other good organ soundfont available?

Version 2.1.1 of the score editor NoteEdit for Linux is available:
http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html
New features:
- staff context (the actual clef and key signature is shown at the
left hand side during replay; configurable)
- (again) KDE2/Qt2 compatible
Please note: I cannot really test this. For a long run I recommend
an KDE3/QT3 update.
- double bar
- Segno issues (see also "example1.not"):
o Segno
o dal Segno
o dal Segno al Fine
o dal Segno al Coda
o Fine
o Coda
Please set these signs in every staff, otherwise ... (don't know ???)
Furthermore, it is your responsibiltity to place the signs
in a reasonable manner. Otherwise the replay behaviour is undefined.
- MUP users: I didn't comprehend some parts of MUP. Thus, I stored
some items in a non-MUP-conform manner. As a result some files
were not MUP-able. Now I changed some of these parts, among them:
o Slurs: I claimed MUP cannot deal with slures which lead over more
than 2 notes. This is not true! NoteEdit-2.1.1 now
produces a MUP-comfrom representation of such slurs.
This holds for the 1st and 2nd voice. From 3rd voice on
the representation remains MUP-incompatible.
o "lonely" trills: I claimed MUP cannot deal with so-called
"lonely" trills (wavy lines without "tr" symbol).
But this is not true. NoteEdit-2.1.1 now produces
a MUP-comfrom representation of such trills.
o Empty lyrics: I claimed MUP cannot deal with partly missing
lyrics in a measure. This is not true.
NoteEdit-2.1.1 now produces a MUP-comfrom
representation of such lyrics.
I apologize to the MUP developers for these wrong statements.
Before asking this: Of cource, NoteEdit can still read the old
representation. So if you want a MUP conform
version of some non-MUP-conform "*.not" file
simply load the the file an save it again.

hey, all.
I'm a lurker, currently confined to recording my albums on a 200 MHz Pentium II
with 32 megs RAM running Win95 and Cakewalk 8. I'm sure I'll be happy with
whatever latency I happen to get when I buy the new computer and put linux on it.
:)
In the meantime, I wanted to mention indexing as another nice feature to have in
a mastering/burning application, and wanted to mention Wavelab as a program I
absolutely love mixing and "mastering" (I'm a geek with a PC - I don't know how
to master :) with - it's the only program ever built with that "stuff the thing
full of features till there's no screen left" mentality that I've actually liked.
So we might glean some ideas from them. (Or not - it can be frustrating to have
the pointer change shape and function every 50 pixels or so...)
I look forward to contributing more as I can - just got my first full-time desk
job, so I get to spend the next few months picking out the perfect motherboard,
the perfect case, etc... in the meantime, I'll be
Lurking,

Hi everybody,
Simple question:
I want to use my Evolution USB-keyboard for input with rosegarden. I
don't seem to get any midi-i/o, nor any sound comming out of the
speakers. (Yes, checked the mixersettings)
How can I solve these 2 probs?
When I compose the notes manually, I see the small VU-meter next to the
channel is moving when playing the track, but in no way I get any
soundoutput...
Any hints?

-----> the perfect midi-newbie :-p
Someone asked recently about a sound visualisation app and got no
response IIRC. I just received a link for the alsa applications page
http://www.maysl.at/
Fische provides standalone sound visualisation under linux using the
ALSA and SDL libraries
Looks pretty trippy.
There are also:
bomb
synaesthesia
various xmms plugins
