[linux-audio-user] drum machine, "beats by design"

by Robert Jonsson

Hi guys, I came a java based drum machine/step sequencer on freshmeat the other day called "Beats by Design". To be truthful I didn't get it to do anything fancy, but my test was fairly short. The description of it suggests it could be really cool though, it uses neural-nets in the engine (if I understand it correctly) to adapt and improvise. I just wondered if anyone tried it and got it to do anything useful? it's at: http://bbd.sourceforge.net Regards, Robert

[linux-audio-user] 3MU: anybody using it?

by S. Massy

Hi, 3MU--- TB303 emulator--- seems like a neat bit of software, albeit unmaintained, but unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a single example source file around and the only documentation available appears to be the source itself. Does anybody know of or have some input files for it? So far, searches only seem to yield dead links. Thanks, S.M.

[linux-audio-user] Seeking advice on a suitable CLI synth engine

by S. Massy

Hi, For a while now I've wanted to fiddle with a reasonably powerful synthesis engine but haven't found a suitable one yet. I've been dying to give csound a good try but haven't succeeded in compiling it yet, and I've tried cmix but have found it a bit too "low-level" for my humble tastes. My problem is that most of the interesting synthesis engines and synth emulators today seem to come with a GUI and I can't use one, nor do I care to, to be frank. So, does anyone have a suggestion for a fairly powerful CLI synth engine I might try? Thanks, S.M.

[linux-audio-user] playing .PAT's via Jack

by Rob

Replying to the Wine thread reminded me of something I was thinking about last week and meant to ask the list. I've seen a number of sample playback engines or programs that play .SF2 soundfonts, and for .PAT's of course there's Timidity++. Is there any way to run T++ as a Jack application, or run some other application that incorporates T++ somehow to use my vast collection of .PAT files from my GUSPnP days as soundfonts? If not, is there any way under Linux to convert my .PAT's to .SF2's? I suppose I could buy Awave and try to get it working under Wine, but since there shouldn't be any actual data conversion going on I'd think someone might have written such a converter app years ago. Maybe an ALSA-aware app would be good enough, since I'm running ALSA on my laptop now - I haven't actually tried to assemble a sequencer/synth suite under Linux yet because I haven't had any idea what to do with all my PAT files except render static .mid files to .wav using Timidity.

RE: [linux-audio-user] GM soundfont

by Reuben Martin

>As for good fonts... the big ones are pretty good, perhaps best is Fluid3 >(should be on hammersound), but that one is BiiiiiiiiG... Does anybody know where to get this Fluid III font? I have been looking for it and the ALL in ONE GM v1.1. They are nowhere to be found. There are lots of links to thesoundsite.net but that site seems to be defunct and Hammersound is a ghost town. I was able to get ahold of the MEGA Sound Bank v2.50 and it works quite well as a GS/GM sound font. You can get it at www.jchyun.com/~afterdan/MegaV25.rar If anyone knows where I can get the other two please let me know. Maybe we should see if gentoo would host these major sound fonts in portage... -Reuben

[linux-audio-user] YDL + alsa?

by Jonathan Segel

is there a way to compile alsa on a PPC using the dmasound_pmac sound in/out? i have a mac 8500 running YDL 3.0 and it has a built in with rca ins and outs, thought i'd try it but can't seem to get alsa to find its own modules... -- _________________________________________________________________ Jonathan Segel -- MAGNETIC -- PO Box 460816 S.F.

[linux-audio-user] Casio CTK-671 under Linux

by Lex Ross

Hi All, I am just switching to Linux and am trying to find something that can make my Casio CTK-671 keyboard work. It has no buit-in rhythm programming but rhythms can be downloaded into it through MIDI interface. These are available for download from Casio music web site http://music.casio.com/e/671/ But there is no software that allows you to compose the ones of your own. Not to mention that there is no Linux version of the software. There is a 60-page MIDI manual however http://ftp.casio.co.jp/pub/world_manual/emi/en/ctk_671/midi.pdf and Windows version of the downloader: http://music.casio.com/e/671/before.html With these I hope I will be able to figure out how to program and download rhytms into the keyboard. I wonder however is there is a standard protocol? Do you know of anyone who ever tried to figure this out? It makes sense to learn what others have done so far before starting a new project. I would appreciate your help and any information that you may have. Kind regards, Lex

supercollider. the fact that the new server based version in development is being simultaneously worked for OS X and linux is what is make making me look at linux audio to begin with. look here (swiki page) http://swiki.hfbk-hamburg.de:8888/MusicTechnology/479 main swiki: http://swiki.hfbk-hamburg.de:8888/MusicTechnology/6 main page http://www.audiosynth.com also from recent mailing list: > fix try, in: > >SC_CoreAudio.h > >change this: > >#if SC_AUDIO_API == SC_AUDIO_API_JACK ># include <jack/jack.h> >class SC_JackPortList; >#endif > >to this: > >#if SC_AUDIO_API == SC_AUDIO_API_JACK ># include <jack/jack.h> ># include <assert.h> >class SC_JackPortList; >#endif > >From: Lee Azzarello <lee(a)fallingforward.net> >To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu >Subject: Re: [linux-audio-user] Seeking advice on a suitable CLI synth engine >Reply-To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu > >I would recommend SuperCollider, and object oriented DSP/MIDI language >based on Smalltalk.

[linux-audio-user] novation remote 25 usb midi controller

by Eric Dantan Rzewnicki

I have not been successful in getting this keyboard recognized on the usb bus, let alone by the usb-audio driver. I'm going to see if I can get it working via straight midi into my ymfpci-based guillemot maxisound fortissimo. But, can anyone see anything else I can try? I've tried to gather as much info as I could think of...maybe I'm just not understanding something basic ... Please help.
