[linux-audio-user] HDSP and "play"

by BrbrOfSvl＠aol.com

Hi, Matt again. So if you remember I have this problem where my hdsp freezes any time I use play (or any app that utilizes the play program, like maybe (?) audacity...). When I use play, it plays the soundfile, but afterward, I can't open any programs that would use my soundcard (some open but say it can't find the device or that the device is in use). When I run "ps aux" there's no indication of play being there. However, when I run play and it gets to the end of the soundfile, I hear what sounds like an amp clip, and I get this: /usr/bin/play: line 205: 1686 Segmentation fault sox $volume $fopts $fopts2 "$filename" $arch_defines $device $effects The 1686 before the Segmentation fault seems to change depending on the soundfile (1802 is another I've had)... I'm not really sure what that number is. So I opened up my /usr/bin/play in vi to see what was in line 205 (I've displayed the last bit of the program): # If name is "rec" then record else assume user is wanting to play # a sound file. if [ "$program_name" = "rec" ]; then # Don't send data to stdout if they are reading from it. if [ "$filename" = "-" ]; then echo "Send break (control-c) to end recording" 1>&2 else echo "Send break (control-c) to end recording" fi sox $volume $arch_defines $fopts $device $fopts2 "$filename" $effects else sox $volume $fopts $fopts2 "$filename" $arch_defines $device $effects fi Line 205 is the final fi, but the line above that is the one that appears in the "error" message I get running play. Is there something in that line (or the rest of the program) that I should change to get it to work with my hdsp? I have an onboard nVidia soundcard that works with play just fine, and aplay works fine with both cards. Is it a problem in the play program, or maybe the alsa hdsp driver I'm using? Another thing I noticed is that when I use play, the signal is being sent to all the channels on the hdspmixer, whereas when I use aplay, it sends it just to the first two. What gives? Also, when this happens, I've been rebooting the machine... is there a way maybe to restart alsa instead? Thanks, Matt

[linux-audio-user] Jackd problems

by jjbenham＠chicagoguitar.com

Sorry if this has been aswered a million times or something. I don't know if this error message I am recieving is correct: Ardour/GTK 0.377.1 running with libardour 0.685.0 Loading UI configuration file /etc/ardour/ardour_ui.rc application linked against too wrong of a version of libjack. ardour: [ERROR]: No JACK server found. I lauch jackd as root like this: jackd -R -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 44100 -p 1024 -n 2 & or jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 then I launch ardour muse or any other jack enabled program it gives be the above errors. jackd gives me these errors: cannot read request from client bad hci new client a cannot create new client; a already exists cannot write connection response to client cannot complete new client connection process I am running Debian unstable. I don't know if it is just broken or if I am doing something wrong. I even created an .asoundrc. I don't know if that helped though. It looks like this: pcm.emu10k1 { type hw card 0 } ctl.emu10k1 { type hw card 0 } Thanks, Jeremiah

[linux-audio-user] applying patch for HDSP 9652

by Aaron Trumm

Hello all - Aaron here again well I promised progress - well I went and read about RPM so I'd know what the hell it was, and now am applying patch. I've got Fernando's kernel and ALSA source, and I've put the patch in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and edited the alsa driver spec file, adding that patch, (I had to manually create the redhat directory in /usr/src - it wasn't there and rpm wouldn't create it and following directions on http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/recompilealsa.html but I'm getting this wonderful thing: bash: rpmbuild: command not found that was quite unexpected. I'm sure I'll figure this out eventually but I thought it'd be smarter and faster to ask - what is happening? do I have a partial RPM in my system? # rpm --version gives me: RPM version 4.2 well thanks - cya on the flipside! -- -------------- Aaron Trumm NQuit www.nquit.com --------------

[linux-audio-user] easy sampler

by "horsh

Hello, Is there any ready to use sampler for linux/alsa? I would realy love to use shaketracker with a sampler to acheve usual tracker functionality. (No, although cheesetracker is perfect, I very very want midi too) I don't need gig or halion support or even sf2 just plain .wav sampler. horsh

Or more specific: > What kind of sampler do you look for? I am looking for a kind of sampler which would have usual tracker's sampler functionality. (as in ScreamTracker, ImpulseTracker, CheeseTracker) The main features are: *ease of changing samples on the fly*, *usability*. In fact I just want the second half of conventional tracker to use with ShakeTracker which is midi sequencer. The algorithm "swami convert into sf2 save load into fluidsynth" proposed by Jeremiah Benham is not okay this must be done by a couple of mouse clicks [or better keyboard shortcuts]. looks like simsam is something promising. can't wait until I get to my linux box and try it.

[linux-audio-user] LilyPond 2.0 - make beautiful music prints

by Han-Wen Nienhuys

Dear music enthousiasts, LilyPond version 2.0 was released today. LilyPond is an automated music notation system: it is used to make gorgeous sheet music. It is libre software ("open source"), and available for most Unix flavors, including Linux and MacOS X, and MS Windows. Use it for your music too! For this version, we have dramatically simplified many parts of the syntax, making it easier to use than ever before. Other improvements include quarter-tone accidentals, and conditional inclusion of music fragments. With version 2.0, we have a solid platform for working on notation and typography features for coming versions. Downloads, examples and documentation are available from the website, http://lilypond.org A big thank-you goes out to our hackers and bughunters: Mats Bengtsson, Heikki Junes, Juergen Reuter, Antonio Palama, Benjamin Milde, Daniel Berjon Diez, David Bobroff, David Rayleigh Arnold, Erik Ronstroem, Fabio dos Santos, Fodor Bertalan, Frederic Bron, Graham Parcival, Ian Bailey-Mortimer, John Williams, Josza Marton, Marco Caliari, Matthieu Amiguet, Michael Welsh Duggan, Patrick Atamaniuk, Paul Scott, Pedro Kroeger, Peter Lutek, Richard Schoeller, Thorkil Wolvendans, and Werner Trobin Happy music printing, Han-Wen Nienhuys & Jan Nieuwenhuizen (core development team) New features in 2.0 since 1.8 ***************************** * Crescendos can now be drawn dotted or dashed. * Quarter tones are now supported. They are entered by suffixing `ih' for a half-sharp and `eh' for a half-flat. Hence, the following is an ascending list of pitches: ceses ceseh ces ceh c cih cis cisih cisis * The following constructs have been removed from the syntax: \duration #SCHEME-DURATION \pitch #SCHEME-PITCH \outputproperty FUNC SYMBOL = VALUE For `\outputproperty', the following may be substituted: \applyoutput #(outputproperty-compatibility FUNC SYMBOL VALUE) * Clefs may now be transposed arbitrarily, for example \clef "G_8" \clef "G_15" \clef "G_9" * The syntax for chords and simultaneous music have changed. Chords are entered as <PITCHES> while simultaneous music is entered as <<..MUSIC LIST..>> In effect, the meanings of both have been swapped relative to their 1.8 definition. The syntax for lists in `\markup' has changed alongside, but figured bass mode was not changed, i.e.: \markup { \center <..LIST OF MARKUPS..> } \figure { <FIGURES> } As chords the more often used than simultaneous music, this change will save keystrokes. * Each music expression can now be tagged, to make different printed versions from the same music expression. In the following example, we see two versions of a piece of music, one for the full score, and one with cue notes for the instrumental part: << \tag #'part << { c4 f2 g4 } % in the part, we have cue-notes \\ R1 >> \tag #'score R1 % in the score: only a rest >> The same can be applied to articulations, texts, etc.: they are made by prepending -\tag #YOUR-TAGS to an articulation, for example, c4-\tag #'with-fingerings -4 -\tag #'with-strings \6 This defines a note, which has a conditional fingering and a string-number indication. * The settings for chord-fingering are more flexible. You can specify a list where fingerings may be placed, eg. \property Voice.fingeringOrientations = #'(left down) This will put the fingering for the lowest note below the chord, and the rest to the left. * The script previously known as `ly2dvi' has been renamed to `lilypond'. The binary itself is now installed as `lilypond-bin'. * Markup text (ie. general text formatting) may now be used for lyrics too. * Two new commands for grace notes have been added, `\acciaccatura' and `\appoggiatura', \appoggiatura f8 e4 \acciaccatura g8 f4 Both reflect the traditional meanings of acciaccatura and appogiatura, and both insert insert a slur from the first grace note to the main note. * Layout options for grace notes are now stored in a context property, and may now be set separately from musical content. * The `\new' command will create a context with a unique name automatically. Hence, for multi-staff scores, it is no longer necessary to invent arbitrary context names. For example, a two-staff score may be created by \simultaneous { \new Staff { NOTES FOR 1ST STAFF } \new Staff { NOTES FOR 2ND STAFF } } * Octave checks make octave errors easier to correct. The syntax is \octave PITCH This checks that PITCH (without octave) yields PITCH (with octave) in \relative mode. If not, a warning is printed, and the octave is corrected. * All articulations must now be entered postfix. For example, c8[( d8]) is a pair of beamed slurred eighth notes. * The definition of `\relative' has been simplified. Octaves are now always propagated in the order that music is entered. In the following example, PRE \repeat "unfold" 3 BODY \alternative { ALT1 ALT2 } POST the octave of BODY is based on PRE, the starting octave of ALT1 on BODY, the starting octave of ALT2 on ALT1, and the starting octave of POST on ALT2. The same mechanism is used for all other music expressions, except the chord. Backwards compatibility is retained through a special program option, which is set through #(ly:set-option 'old-relative) * Windows users can double click a `.ly' file to process and view it automagically through the new `lily-wins' frontend. New features in 1.8 since 1.6 ***************************** * The chord entry code has been completely rewritten. It is now cleaner and more flexible. * A new syntax has been added for text entry. This syntax is more friendly than the old mechanism, and it is implemented in a more robust and modular way. For more information, refer to the section on "Text markup" in the notation manual. * The integration of the input language and Scheme has been made deeper: you can now use LilyPond identifiers in Scheme, and use Scheme expressions instead of LilyPond identifiers. * The internal representation of music has been cleaned up completely and converted to Scheme data structures. The representation may be exported as XML. * A new uniform postfix syntax for articulation has been introduced. A beamed slurred pair of eighth notes can be entered as c8-[-( d8-]-) In version 2.0, postfix syntax will be the only syntax available, and the dashes will become optional. This will simplify the language: all articulations can be entered as postfix, in any order. * A new syntax has been added for chords: << PITCHES >> It is not necessary to update files to this syntax, but it will be for using LilyPond version 2.0. In version 2.0, this syntax will be changed to < PITCHES > for chords, and \simultaneous { .. } for simultaneous music. To convert your files from <PITCHES> to <<PITCHES>>, use the script included in buildscripts/convert-new-chords.py This change was introduced for the following reasons * It solves the "start score with chord" problem, where you have to state \context Voice explicitly when a chord was the start of a Staff or Score. * With the new syntax, it is possible to distinguish between articulations (or fingerings) which are for a single chord note, and which are for the entire chord. This allows for per-note fingerings, and is more logical on the whole. * User code may now be executed during interpreting. The syntax for this code is \applycontext #SCHEME-FUNCTION * User code may now be executed on arbitrary grobs during interpreting. The syntax for this feature is \applyoutput #SCHEME-FUNCTION SCHEME-FUNCTION takes a single argument, and is called for every grob that is created in the current context. * New algorithms for chord-name formatting have been installed. They can be tuned and have ergonomic syntax for entering exceptions. * Texts may now be put on multimeasure rests, e.g. R1*20^\markup { "GP" } * Ancient notation now prints ligatures in Gregorian square neumes notation, roughly following the typographical style of the Liber hymnarius of Solesmes, published in 1983. Ligatures are still printed without the proper line breaking and horizontal spacing. * Glissandi can now be printed using the zigzag style. * LilyPond can now print clusters. The syntax is \apply #notes-to-clusters { NOTE NOTE .. } * For irregular meters, beat grouping marks can be printed. The syntax for this is #(set-time-signature 7 8 '(3 2 2)) * Nested horizontal brackets for music analysis can now be printed: NOTE-\startGroup .. NOTE-\stopGroup * Ottava brackets are now fully supported as a feature. The syntax is #(set-octavation 1) * Metronome markings are printed when a \tempo command is processed. * Fingerings can be put on chords horizontally. * The appearance of various glyphs has been fine-tuned. * Different types of percent style repeats may now be nested. * The emacs support has been extended. * The manual has been completely revised and extended. New features in 1.6 since 1.4 ***************************** * Support for figured bass and tablature. * Completely rewritten beam formatting: provides much better output now. * Completely revised and improved music font. * Completely rewritten MIDI import support. * Completely rewritten grace note support. Practically speaking this means that grace notes can be slurred to normal normal notes. * Improved accidental handling and formatting: styles for producing cautionaries may vary, and complex collisions between accidentals of a chord are handled much better. * Better spacing: both globally and locally. This includes subtle details like optical stem spacing. * More support for ancient notation: mensural ligatures, ambitus (pitch range) of voices, more shapes, etc. * More support for piano notation: bracket pedals, directed arpeggios, arpeggio brackets. * Easier music polyphonic music entry. * More extensibility, many speedups and bugfixes * The manual has been thoroughly revised. * Development is now hosted at http://savannah.gnu.org, and sources can be downloaded through anonymous CVS. * Support for windows: LilyPond is part of the cygwin distribution, which comes with a user-friendly installer. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | hanwen(a)cs.uu.nl | http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
