[linux-audio-user] Title for new sound-apps page

by Paul Winkler

So, the user-contributed sound apps listing page needs a title. Here's all the suggestions I could find in the last thread on this topic (back in 2002), plus a few more off the top of my head: Big Linux Audio Repository -- BLARe Audio & Music Apps for Linux (AMAL) Linux Audio Festival (LAF) Linux Audio Free Totally Encompassing Resources (LAFTER) Linux Audio Land (LAL) Linux Audio & Music App List (LAMAL) Linux Audio & Music Software Database Linux Sound Pavilion Linux Sound Roadmap Linux Sounds Zoo Linux Waves Raiders of the Lost Softs Software for Linux Audio & Music (SLAM) Sound & MIDI Software For Linux* The Cyborg Musicians Club The List The Shaking Warehouse * an oldie but goodie ;-) p.s. if you don't like any of the above, I will deny having made it up ;-) How bout some more suggestions? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

[linux-audio-user] sequencers comparison

by Florin Andrei

I know there were some discussions not too long ago about sequencers, but i'd like to ask the questions in a slightly different way. I'm looking for a decent sequencer for Linux. It's not required to be a "Logic/Cubase/Pro Tools/Sonar killer" (although it would be great :-D), but i'd like it to perform a few basic tasks well. Must-have features: - record and play multiple MIDI tracks - record and play multiple sound tracks - MIDI and sound must be able to blend freely in a project (i.e. record and play arbitrary combinations of MIDI and sound tracks simultaneously) - overdub multiple sound tracks into one (or two) - fine-grained MIDI editing (edit individual keystrokes' parameters such as velocity, timing adjustments) - automatic tool to move slightly off-beat keystrokes to a fixed temporal grid which is defined in the program (therefore making "perfect performance" timing-wise) - sound editing abilities (features such as "snap to pass-through-zero" would be nice) - LADSPA filters - play a metronome through a MIDI or sound channel - works with JACK and ALSA - does not crash Nice-to-have features: - the editors (MIDI, sound) and, generally, the whole app must be user-friendly and inspiration-friendly :-) (when the inspiration possesses you, it's not a good thing to start fumbling through some crappy interface and make a thousand mouse clicks just to do some trivial operation - every second lost is precious) - music notation - some kind of interoperability with related apps Essentially, in the free software world, it's either Muse or Rosegarden. Has any of you extensive experience with both applications? Which one is a better fit for the description above? Thanks, -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

[linux-audio-user] fluidsynth shell commands

by Gerrit Niestijl

Hi, How can i send commands in a file to a running fluidsynth process? I tried (commands.sh contains fluidsynth tuning commands): $ fluidsynth -a jack ~/gerrit.sf2 < commands.sh But fluidsynth exits immediately after reading the commands in the file. -- gerrit

[linux-audio-user] Ann: Specimen v0.1.0 (the first beta release)

by Pete Bessman

Too everyone who's waited with bated breath for this day to come (primarily me), rejoice in the first beta release of Specimen, a midi controlled audio sampler for GNU/Linux systems. Features as listed on the webpage: # ALSA sequencer interface support. # Audio output via ALSA or JACK. # Individual panning and volume controls for each patch. # High quality cubically interpolated pitch scaling. # Sample start/stop and loop points. # Three playback modes; "normal" just plays the sample, "trim" plays the sample and stops early if so instructed, "loop" plays the sample for the requested duration. # Patch bank saving and loading in the "beef" file format. Check out www.gazuga.net for more and to download the source. I'm gonna spend the next few days giving the program a usability test and creating a demo song that does it justice, so keep your ears open for some homegrown UHB in the not-too-distant future. [pb]

[linux-audio-user] Features / requirements for new soundapps page

by Paul Winkler

So, what should a new soundapps page DO? In the previous discussion on this list, way back in 2002, many ideas were kicked around. I think it was originally too ambitious. I'd like to focus for now on being a really good resource for finding linux audio / music software. So, here's a rough cut at a revised requirements list, distilling the old threads: Rough mock-up of a typical app listing page: http://www.slinkp.com/linux/soundapp_site_roughs/app_entry.html Notes, including links to the old discussions: http://www.slinkp.com/linux/soundapp_site_roughs I have just posted a rough draft of requirements on that page. It (hopefully) includes everything important from the 2002 discussions. I invite further discussion of these requirements in this thread. p.s. Somebody (Marek?) reminded me of the reasons why anonymous users should be allowed to post new listings & update existing ones. Thanks for that! But I lost the mail so I'm not sure who it was. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's FLYING MC FROM PARIS! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)

[linux-audio-user] toshiba A10 - S213 - bios and kernel

by juto aviten

Hello Friends, I bought a laptop toshiba A10 - S213 pentium 4 - 516 Mo and I installed mandrake 9.2 on it, i use it with the multimedia kernel of mandrake. I would like to know if one of you could access to the bios of this kind of machine, it seems that we have to use window$ to have access to it, really strange. Does someone have an idea? And also, I have some problems when I used sound and that in the same time I run a brownser or another application, the sound is cutting by some other priority of the system, I tried to give priority to sound by doing nice --10 but it's always the same, does someone had experienced this problem? thanks a lot for your help!! juto aviten http://radio.apo33.org

[linux-audio-user] Re: Get a Load of This!

by David Baron

I posted this to appreciate a powerful new product, based on Linux, though I cannot afford to buy it myself. I did not post it to inspire bigotted hate mail and such. Please, keep this stuff to yourselves.

[linux-audio-user] emu10k1 MIDI Efeects

by holborn

Hi! After two weeks working on that ..... i got it ... I have REVERB and CHORUS in my SB Live ... well i need to improve some things, but i can control the amount of reverb and chorus with MIDI control message for each MIDI channel ... gmorgan sounds like a film with reverb and chorus. :-) I use ld10k1 from Peter Zubaj .... a fantastic program, hi was send me a pre-release with some improvements, as10k1 form alsa-utils to compile the patches, i modified some bus and chorus example patches and I adapted fv10k1 (Freverb from sourceforge emu10k1 drivers), then i made som scripts to load. Actually has some small problems, in fact the FX8010 is a mistery for me .. and seems the TRAM delay lines of both effects are mixed ... but with some small alsamixer hacking sounds pretty good. If someone is interested i will send you .... Greetings Josep
