Hello!
I have switched to alsa drivers. The sound card (ES1371) works OK.
There is alsa-0.9rc2 in the kernel I use, but the distro, ASP Linux 7.3
(a Red Hat derivative) does not provide alsa-lib. I got alsa-lib,
alsa-lib-devel and alsa-util from freshrpms.net (RPMs for RH 7.3 work on
ASP 7.3); the version is, as I understand, 0.9rc7.
I have compiled fluidsynth again starting with configure, and now it
includes alsa libraries.
But when I start it, as root, with no parameters, and even with X not
running, it just hangs until Ctrl-C.
It starts with -a oss, however. It says that uses midi via alsa-seq,
but audio via oss. And it does not get any data from the MIDI keyboard
(ran it with --verbose to check).
Only when I used full OSS settings:
fluidsynth -a oss -m oss -o midi.oss.device="/dev/midi00"
did it work again. So, it's oss over alsa, not alsa. And yet alsa is
there, for example, alsamixer works. (And, unlike the case without alsa,
it does start an ALSA MIDI input, just gets no data).
What should I do? Can it be the fault of version difference between
alsa-driver in the kernel and alsa-lib/alsa-lib-devel?
I gave it a try; I ununstalled alsa-lib and alsa-lib-devel and
alsa-util, and tried to compile alsa-lib 0.9.0rc2 from the source on
alsa-project.org. But it asked for the alsa-driver package. The kernel
source (which includes alsa-driver) is installed, so I really don't know
what to do next in this case. I'll try to investigate more - IT the
version difference is likely to be at fault...
Perhaps I just need to set some options I don't know about?

I would like to use my Linux box as a direct-to-CD recorder, for recording jam sessions. Does anybody know of a Linux app that can record an audio CD in real time? In other words, go straight from audio input to an audio CD?
I think that some of the CD recording software can take input from stdin, but I don't know how the data should be formatted. Any ideas?

Hi.
I released ZynAddSubFX 1.4.0 and contains many new
features:
- added instrument's own effect (effects that
are loaded/saved with the instrument)
- FreeMode Envelopes: all Envelopes can have any
shape (not only ADSR)
- Added instrument kits: It is possible to use
more than one instruments into one part (used for
layered synths or drum kits)
- Amplitude envelopes can be linear or
logarithmic
- added interpolation on the Resonance user
interface
- user interface improvements and cleanups of
it's code
- initiated a mailing list to allow users to
share patches for ZynAddSubFX. Please share your
ZynAddSubFX patches; look at
http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/zynaddsubfx-user
for more information about the mailing list.
For those you don't know about it, ZynAddSubFX is a
powerfull software synthesizer for Linux and Windows.
It is a opensource software and is licensed under GNU
GPL 2.
The homepage is:

Hello!
Does alsa allow several programs to use one device, with soft mixing?
I have switched to alsa drivers, recompiled fluidsynth for alsa, and
tried to run it under KDE (in a Konsole su root). It failed:
===
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:866:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed:
Device or resource busy
fluidsynth: error: The "default" audio device is used by another
application
Failed to create the audio driver
===
Now, I thought I could get rid of arts and let alsa handle softmixing,
but... will it?
Well, I can install JACK. But I'm not only doing music creation. I want
to play MP3s via XMMS, watch videos with Xine, etc. Are there JACK
output plugins, at least, for XMMS and Xine?

Hello!
The problem with starting fluidsynth was indeed the result of a vesion
difference between alsa-driver and alsa-lib. The alsa-driver in th
ekernel proved to be 0.9.0rc6; I got the corresponding alsa-lib from the
ALSA project site (still works only by IP for me), and compiled it from
source; and now it loads.
But, it shows a strange warning:
===
fluidsynth: warning: The sample rate is set to 44100, the synthesizer
may be out of tune
fluidsynth: warning: Requested a period size of 64, got 65 instead
** Using format s16, rw, interleaved
===
I don't really want the synthesizer to be out of tune. So I'd like to
understand what's going on here. (This message does not appear is I run
fluidsynth with -a oss)

Hello!
I tried to find out how to use ladspa with fluidsynth, but I failed. I had
it worked out to the point where I could at least give values for the data
ports, although it is a nasty syntax. But I couldn't assign the audio ports.
I didn't find out which value to assign to the ports. I tried simply using
numbers, or things like "input1"... Does anyone know how to properly insert a
ladspa effect from the fluidsynth-shell?
Thanks in advance.
Kindest regards
Julien
P.S.: Thanks for the one line hack, now the clicks are gone...

Hi folks
I am wondering if there is such thing as a MIDI control interface with
various faders/wheels on it, like various keyboards have for mod/pitch bend
wheels. If so, can anybody make any recommendations?
Thanks
Luke.
Hi (hello Peter?)!
I have a couple of questions about fluidsynth. First I can't figure out how
to use the ladspa-stuff. I mean ladspa_add in specific. I tried it with a
simple plugin (diode from swh), but I couldn't get the input and outpuput
attached. I didn't know what to type for input and output. Unfortunately a
more detailed section on this is missing in the manpage.
Then is there a pause/forward/rewind feature for midi-files? It would be
really great if there was.
the click problem: I also had clicks at the end of the jeux d'orgues 2 font
and at the end of Rhodes73. It sounds like the release time is kept too short.
And one last thing: Everytime I start fluidsynth there is a quiet high
humming. It decreases when I turn of the reverb, but it doesn't completely go
away. Any idea?
I'm sorry for only wining. In general fluidsynth is ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC!!! I
enjoyed it a great deal! Thanks Peter!
Kindest regards
Julien

Hello all!
Is there a way to decompress the sfark and sfpack soundfont compression
format s under linux? (I would need a solution without GUI)
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I need to Sys Ex dump from a digital mixer, tascam
dm-24, to linux and then be able to restore the dump
info.
The mixer stores 99 different mix scenes, eight
automation mixes and various other things.
Is there a utility available?
ron
