Re: [OT] taiko - was: [linux-audio-user] how 'bout more music

by bernie arai

after a few months of lurking on this list i finally feel like i have something to contribute, albeit horribly off topic. the name of the japanese taiko drumming group is Kodo, not goto (although i like the C joke). they do in fact come from sado island, famous as a hideout for artists, exiles and recluses, where the group all live in a house together and train new members. all the while, they have been playing one continuous world tour for about 12 years now called the "one earth tour" (coming back to my town next month). they were not formed with any (organized) religious connections, but were actually an offshoot of another taiko group called ondekoza. before i spent all my time getting a linux audio workstation to work, i used to perform in a taiko group here in vancouver called the uzume taiko ensemble, which is where i learned about kodo and their kin. it's a real workout... bernie arai > Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2004 11:01:35 -0800 > From: Robert Persson <ireneshusband(a)yahoo.co.uk> > Subject: Re: [linux-audio-user] how 'bout more music > To: A list for linux audio users <linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu> > Message-ID: <200412301101.35747.ireneshusband(a)yahoo.co.uk> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > > >What's a "goto drummer"? > > > > I think he might mean a Japanese taiko drummer, they play those huge > > cylinder drums. > > Bang on!

[linux-audio-user] Next video

by mchristoph.eckert＠t-online.de

OK, only basics mainly about MIDI connectivity showing vkeybd, kaconnect and ams. Nothing for the professionals here, but useful for starters I guess: http://sysexxer.sf.net/files/BasicMIDIconnectivity.avi Audio is somehow bad quality, I still have to figure out how to improve it. Anyway, it took several hours to do it and so I'll now release it. I really wonder when sourceforge will complain about bandwidth usage ;-) . Best regards ce

Re: [linux-audio-user] Jackd realtime-lsm 2.6.10 and PD

Here is what I built pd-0.38-0test10 with (before I emailed linux-audio-users) ./configure --enable-alsa --enable-jack --enable-setuid Like I said, jackd loves realtime-lsm but pd cannot connect with jackd. My .pdrc looks like this: -jack -rt -path /usr/local/lib/pd/externs -path /home/wade/pd/general -path /home/wade/pd -lib zexy -lib Gem -mididev 1,2,3 -r 48000 -sounddev 3 -blocksize 1024 -channels 18 -audiobuf 8 thanks! -thewade

[linux-audio-user] Trying to get OSS driver to recognize midiport

by airplays55＠yahoo.com

I have a knoppix installation that includes rosegarden2 and OSS drivers. The midiports are not recognized upon bootup. How can I configure/check the midi port configuration for the OSS drivers? Yes I know that rosegarden4 blows away rosegarden2, and ALSA is the way to go, but since knoppix includes rosegarden2 and OSS, I think it would be easier for me to get this working than switch to ALSA and new software. I have tried several midi interfaces/soundcards which I know are supposed to work (ISA, PCI, and USB) Any advice would be much appreciated! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

[linux-audio-user] midi controller (x-session) with jack rack

by Iván Almada

Hi all! i just got an x-session usb midi controller i finally bought it because i saw it had midi in and out , so i thought i could get it working in linux (and because recently i was experimenting with jack-rack and also noticed by accident that if you right-click a knob you can map a midi controller, have anybody done this ? is it as easy as that? ) so i have only tested it under ugly windows with the demo soft (it includes ugly versions of Live and Arturia Storm which goes directly to the trash bin...) anyway it worked great!! i recommend this experience to any one used to work with soft synthesizers, its an outrageous experience being able to control everything with your hands (last week i used jack rack with xmms and loaded a prodigy mp3 of the new album, connected to jackrack and loaded up several effects there, a reverse delay , the dj flanger and a simple non interpolating delay with that setup i started to improvise in realtime awesome! prodigy's music has tons of breaks you could use to start the flanger or combine it with the reverse delay creating an incredible effect similar to a scratch (the program's got wet / dry so you can use this to simulate the beat juggle of a turntable the dry is when you scratch forward and the wet is when you scratch backwards) this stuff is just amazing! also with the delay you can create unbelievable retrigger effects just as the ones used in drum n bass or other music (bt calls it stutter editing i think...) so im eager to CONTROL jack-rack effects with my hands !!! i cant imagine how that would be, FX utopia... the x-session's got a x-fader, for instance you could control the wet/dry with it !!! so imagine, i could make beat excellent live scratch / beat juggling effects with just pulling the x-fader from side to side... the controller sends midi-cc messages (so i also can control some specimen sampler parameters with this thing! thanks pete!) the problem is that ive only used it via usb with my fathers win box. I would like to use it via usb with linux anybody knows something about this ??? ive heard recently that someone bought an evolution usb keyboard, i think it would be similar... anyway if that couldnt be done , i could load it up via midi , the problem here is that there's no ac adapter included (i should buy it later) but i would like to connect it usb... because of portability also, being able to carry the controller in a bag with my laptop and just connect it usb is going to be outrageous man! ... tweaking jack-rack's filters in the Metro is going to be so much fun... anyway i would like to thank everybody in this community for making these brutal audio tools. ivan. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
