[linux-audio-user] Re: [Alsamodular-user] Midi program change messages...

by Russell Hanaghan

Thank you, thank you, a million thank you's!!! I just tried this and can actually control elements for my needs. I'm only really using AMS as a "host" for various LADSPA plugins like Freeverb and delays for live vocal processing on a small PA. I have a multi fx guitar pedal with midi capabilities (limited) and need to be able to turn the FX of between songs as I talk to the audience. As simple as this was to do (when I knew where to look! And not to mention it did speak to it somewhat in the "manual" on Agnula), I was not finding how to get it done.

However, in the pcm.h there IS a var called SND_PCM_FORMAT_U8 vs SND_PCM_FMT_U8. I can't believe this... there must be a version of the pch.h that uses the FMT other than FORMAT. This seems so obvious an error I can;t believe I see nothing on the net about it. In addition snd_pcm_t is defined twice... the type in pcm.h conflicting with the instance in timidity's alsa_a.c I have search thru every pcm.h I have.. with no luck. I found one refernce in google (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/alsa/alsa-driver/cards/Attic/card-dum…) which refers to the card_dummy.c, but I don;t have (want) and dummy as I have a real card.

[linux-audio-user] [Fwd: Edirol FA-101 Linux Support]

by Dan Harper

I just sent this e-mail to Edirol. It may be useful to someone if they're contacting them or any other company for Linux support. Dan -----Forwarded Message----- From: Dan Harper <tech(a)danharper.org> To: sales(a)edirol.com Cc: artists(a)edirol.com Subject: Edirol FA-101 Linux Support Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 16:11:58 +1100 To Whom It May Concern, I'm a recording musician with a home studio and I am looking to upgrade and go mobile with some of my gear. I will be purchasing a laptop in the next few weeks along with a new pair of studio monitors and a multi-channel audio interface upgrade. I happened to stumble across your new product, the Edirol FA-101 Firewire interface that seems to fit all the criteria I had for the new interface. The final and deciding requirement I have for the hardware however, is not mentioned on your web site, and that is Linux compatibility. My existing studio setup consists of using the DAW software Ardour (http://www.ardour.org) along side the JACK realtime audio server (http://jackit.sf.net) and the mastering suite Jamin (http://jamin.sf.net). I currently have no problems using my PCI audio card with my desktop machine, but it seems that FireWire interfaces are not fully supported as yet. Currently ALSA (An audio system for Linux that Jack utilises, http://www.alsa-project.org) supports many audio interfaces, including several Edirol USB products. I haven't checked with the Linux Audio community yet as to what they know of your product, but are there any plans to, or would you consider: - releasing the product data, specifications and other technical documentation of the FA-101 unit? - assist in writing drivers, or supporting the developers (by e-mail) in writing drivers for ALSA? One positive aspect of companies such as Edirol releasing product data, specifications, and other technical documentation regarding their products to the Linux community, is that there is no need to invest time or money in supporting and continually developing drivers. The Linux/ALSA community is happy to develop and support drivers for your hardware at no cost. I realise that Linux has not been a traditional market for professional audio, but I have successfully and happily made the switch from Microsoft Windows to Linux and I know of many other musicians that have also switched over, or are looking to do so. This would be a great opportunity to increase the compatibility and user base of your hardware with minimal effort on your part. For me personally, since I have fully made the switch to Linux, my next audio interface upgrade would have to have (or plans to have) Linux/ALSA drivers. If you require any further information, please con't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks, Dan Harper -- Dan Harper Songwriter and Musician Melbourne, Australia

[linux-audio-user] ZynAddSubFX uses XML format - please test it

by Nasca Paul

ZynAddSubFX is using XML files Hi. I am Paul, the author of zynaddsubfx. For those who you don't know about it: is a software synthsizer for linux and windows and is located at http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net I added many things from 1.4.3. The most notable is the XML support. I have the intention to drop the compatibility to the old formats (mas_zyn) since 2.0. Anyway, the code for using this format is still inside zynaddsubfx to make possible to write a file converter. Now, zynaddsubfx requires 2 new libraries: an excelent library called Mini-XML (http://www.easysw.com/~mike/mxml/) and zlib. Also, the banks are not longer stored into a single file; now, the banks are stored as instruments into a directory. This make very easy to manage the banks, with any file manager. You can checkout the cvs version; see http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=62934 for details. Also, if you don't want to use cvs you can download the version from 3 March 2004 from: http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/zynaddsubfx_cvs.tar.bz2 (Please notice that this link is temporary) There are other features that will be documented into 2.0. Until then, there is more do be done :) Please test it and report if happens to save a file to XML and if is not loaded all parameters (It is possible that I missed some parameters from XML, but I hope not ;) ) Paul P.S. There is a ChangeLog inside the arhive, but is Romanian ;) (few parts are English) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[linux-audio-user] Evolution EVS-1-editor

by Thomas Kerstgens

Hello, is there anybody who uses the Evolution EVS-1 (an old 1 RU FM-, AM-, PM-synth). My Problem is, that it is only editable using a DOS- or Atari-ST-software. Is there any linux-editor-software which supports this synth or a possibility to run the atari-software (e.g. an emulator with MIDI-support)? - Thomas

[linux-audio-user] RME Hammerfall Install and Linux 2.6.3

by thewade

Hello, Ill be brief as your time is surely valuable. Thank you for your time. Im trying to set up my new RME hammerfall DSP multiface on my dell inspiron 8000 running linux-2.6.3 with alsa software(drivers) 1.3(a); Question one: I have (make install)-ed alsa 1.3a drivers, do I have to rebuild my kernel, as alsa is now built into the kernel in 2.6? Question two: I get this error with pd and the multiface using non-interleaved audio input Sample width set to 4 bytes snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access (output): Invalid argument using non-interleaved audio pd: pcm.c:1133: snd_pcm_readi: Assertion `pcm->access == SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED\\\' failed. Pd: signal 6 and xmms sees the card (proabably from my .asoundrc file) but wont play through it. Ive run hdsploader and the little red host error light is gone, so whats up? Thanks again, -thewade

[linux-audio-user] JACK with two SBLives!

by Petr Sumbera

Hello, I would like to use JACKD with two SBLives! soundcards in Surround40 mode (8 output channels and 4 input channels). I have seen on internet examples of "alsa.conf" how to use SBLive! in Surround40 mode and also how to use two normal sound cards for jack. Problem is that I am new to this problematic and I have no idea how to achieve my desires. Can you please help me with this? I hope it is possible. Petr

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] galan-0.3.0_beta5 released

by torbenh＠informatik.uni-bremen.de

galan-0.3.0_beta5 is released. For those who know it already: One of the new features include cloning. you can now select a bunch of components and clone them. (This will be changed to a full blown copy/paste mechanism soon) And the polyphony option will be added soon. galan is a modular synthesizer similar to SSM and AMS. The difference is that you build the schematics in one window and have the controls in another window. So your synth UI is not cluttered with the schematics. galan also supports subpatches. You can add patches from the library to your current patch with 2 mouseclicks. the LADSPA adsr can be used for real note-on note-off behaviour. And with the voice allocator it is already possible to build polyphonic synths. I will refine that process somwhat. But it already works. When you have setup your schematic and placed the controlling knobs and sliders on your control panel, you can draw a custom background for the ControlPanel and import the painted picture into galan. The knobs now support alpha transparency, so they should integrate onto every background. galan supports jack and alsa sequencer. You can open any number of ports you would like. The internal sequencers can sync to jack-transport. galan also supports LADSPA. You will have all LADSPA effects handy you normally use. And you will be able to setup a nice Interface for your Effects. You would then save them to your sheet library, making them 2 clicks away. So wiring a jack-inport and another jack-outport to your favorite plugin, is done in a few seconds. It even supports the first jack-midi patch (although only as a synth and as the patch changed recently, there will be no sequencer around :) perhaps the next patch. get it at http://galan.sf.net and look at http://galan.sf.net/anti-aliased-knobs.png cause this is how it looks like. -- torben Hohn http://galan.sourceforge.net -- The graphical Audio language
