Hi!
Sorry for the english .. :-)
SoundFontCombi takes the advantages of ALSA sequencer and the wavetable
devices for emulate a synthetizer.
I'm not programmer, this program dont have project page, CVS, or mailing
list, is in proof of concept rigth now. And only the binaries are available.
Is my first program in C++, my first graphic program for *nix, and belive
me the source code needs a "making up" rigth now. Maybe next month when i
learned how to do a Makefile :-)
SoundFontCombi was tested in Debian sid and Gentoo.
Requires FLTK v1.x.x (tested on v1.1.1) and ALSA with sequencer.
The binaries are available in :
http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/soudfontcombi/sfc-v0.005.tar.gz
Any commets will be apreciated.

Hi Richard,
There must be a way... My SBLive Value can do it directly via the
alsamixer, but my PCI128 (same as yours, I think) doesn't have that
route. I've sent this reply to the LAU list, maybe someone there knows
how to do it ?

Hi all,
I'd like to setup my machine so it's possible to use it to do some
musical work using a sequencer/composer and a MIDI keyboard. I have a
Sound Blaster Live! card, a Yamaha PSR keyboard, and plan to use the
MuSE software package. The OS is a new Linux system built from scratch
(kernel 2.4.20, XFree 4.3.0, latest qT, GTK+, and hopefully latest ALSA
and needed utilities). Can I do this kind of musical work with this
setup ?
I'm asking this because at the top of the page of the ALSA support for
the Live! card we can read the following:
"MIDI on SB live drive not working properly."
Does this means that it's not presently possible to use MIDI with a
Live! card and Linux ?
Any suggestions and hints appreciated,
Cheers,
Alain
thanks for the response brian, and my own googling seems to back up what you
say, but i still can't quite believe it...hammerfall is the ONLY pcmcia
audio card supported under linux??? that seems hard to swallow...there must
be others surely...i just need a stereo in/out with a high bit rate (i would
settle for 20 bits). Dropping 1000$ for the hammerfall breakout box and
cardbus is just out of my price range. No one else has any
suggestions....that would be a rare failure in the linux community, but i
guess that the whole point of this list is that audio under linux is still
fairly behind...anyway...

Hi !
have you had a look on the Digigram vxpocket series ? Alsa support is fine at least for 16bit modes (some clacs occur in 24 bit mode, but this shouldn't be difficult to fix), I'm about to submit some driver fixes for monitoring support aswell.
Best regards,
Marc Titinger.

Hi,
I want to get Linux and a hardware sampler talking to each other more
effectively. Specifically the following:
1. Transfer individual samples between the PC and sampler
2. Access and back up project files saved by the sampler
3. Possibly create a hard-disk partition in the PC which the sampler
sees as a SCSI drive
The sampler is an Emu ESI-2000 and the interfacing would probably have to
be via SCSI because that's all it offers.
For the 1st aim, I did find out that the sampler supports SMDI, a protocol
for transferring samples over SCSI supported by various sampler
manufacturers including Emu and Yamaha. Is there any Linux end-user
software that implements this protocol? Or another way of doing it?
The only Linux software I have found so far that supports SMDI is
OpenSMDI, which implements the SMDI protocol as a free shared library for
Linux and Windows. From what I can see there is no front-end on the Linux
version:
http://home.t-online.de/home/chrisnowak/opensmdi/
If there is no alternative, I wonder how hard it would be to create a
simple command-line interface using this?
For the 2nd aim I want to read ESI's file system to access individual
projects or 'banks'. Currently, all I've managed to do is save banks to
Zip disks, and then use the Unix 'dd' command to make images of entire Zip
disks. But I can't mount the Zip disks (or disk image files) from Linux,
or access individual files or 'banks' within them, because the sampler
uses a propietary file system.
I believe aims 1 and 2 are both necessary because the SMDI protocol is
fairly limited in the sample parameters it supports, so in order to
capture all parameters (such as filter settings) and cleanly save whole
projects in one go, you have to use the sampler's 'Save Bank' facility
rather than transferring individual samples.
So is there any Linux software that can read this proprietary file system?
The only free (as in beer) software I have found is a Windows program
called ESi-Win. Apparently it lets you transfer individual samples over
SCSI to and from ESI samplers as well.
http://www.simplydata.co.uk/ESi-Win/
This software actually solves both aims 1 and 2, but it's Windows-only. I
briefly tried to run it under Wine, but it didn't work straight away. Has
anyone got it working under Wine? Has anyone seen it running at all?
Both OpenSMDI and ESi-Win seem to be projects that progressed to a
reasonably functional alpha or beta level but are no longer maintained -
presumably because their authors sold their samplers. I'm beginning to
reluctantly wonder if I should do the same... although it seems a shame to
do so purely because of issues with file formats etc.
Anyway the final problem arises because, even if I solved all the above, I
am still reliant on the Zip drive to save and restore banks directly from
and to the sampler. This is not good from the point of view of
reliablility and cost, especially as I undertand Iomega don't make the
SCSI version of the Zip drive any more.
To solve this without buying an expensive SCSI hard drive, I wondered if
it is possible to create a partition on an IDE drive in the PC that the
sampler sees as an external SCSI drive? (Preferably with no possibility
of the sampler overwriting other partitions on the drive ;-)
The sampler has an option "Ignore SCSI device with ID x", which according
to its manual is intended to allow both a PC and the sampler to be masters
on the same SCSI chain and share a SCSI drive. But in the setup they
describe, the shared drive is a separate box in the middle - can it be
done without this?
>From what I understand about SCSI, doing this would at least require a
SCSI card that has the capability to be 'SCSI target' to another master
device, as well as being a master device itself. So, for what it's worth,
my SCSI card is an Adaptec 2906 and I'm not sure if it has that capability
or not.
What about other options? I could get rid of the sampler altogether -
then to get the same number of outputs I'd need to upgrade my soundcard -
but anyway, what Linux software is there that could replace a hardware
sampler while probably retaining a sampler-like way of working?
Finally, I suppose I could upgrade the hardware sampler. I guess that
more modern hardware samplers integrate better with PCs in general. But
are their protocols and file formats any more open and therefore
potentially more inter-operable with Linux, or are you just as locked in
by proprietary formats and protocols as before?
Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas welcome. I can't be the only person
who's wants to do this!
Thanks
James

greetings all,
a quick blurb from copyleftmedia on the weird and wonderful happenings
in the copyright (and left?) world...
firstly, my apologies for yet another brief outage on the Vsound page.
no - the site was not down! and if this ever happens, i promise that i
will put up a page explaining when and why. thanks to those who kindly
pointed out to me that i had oopsed in spelling the link to the Vsound
pages on my news page... i guess thats what comes of late night
blurry-eyed blogging...!
the *official* Vsound page and links to all the mirrors will be

for anyone who doesnt already know, madonna made a rather vain attempt
to stop P2P users from swapping tracks of her new album American Life.
she released her own 'dummy' mp3s on to KaZaA, which contain Our Lady
herself saying 'what the fuck do you think you're doing?' and then
silence... unfortunately this has proved too good to be true for
remixers...
further details on http://www.copyleftmedia.org.uk/news.htm - my archive
of Madonna remixes has begun at http://www.iriXx.org/madonna/
please email me at miriam(a)copyleftmedia.org.uk if you know of any more
or have links to your own tracks (dont send the files directly, i cant
afford any more space to host them! ;-)...
also in this weeks news: details of the FIPR meeting 'Scrambling for

Dave,
I've been using emacs (different flavors) for years. Xemacs for the last 4. What do you want to know?

I'd like to start learning more about emacs, and the Xemacs package

some questions for an experienced user. Can anyone on this list help out
