I think that if some one of you believe that an open source development of Finale has to birh, we have to write them a lot... I wrote to: bwolff(a)makemusic.com winsupport(a)codamusic.com winsupport(a)makemusic.com winsupport(a)smartmusic.com ste Stefano Cardo Debian DeMuDi GNU/Linux User

I think the above methods need to somehow be extended to work with samples. Either that or computer audio needs its own form of musical representation. Maybe we need to just skip the idea of any sort of representation outside of a song or audio file? If so... maybe we need to break with tradition a bit and make "song" files themselves provide a higher degree of functionality? > I don't think that computer programs should reflect the physical world > we operate in.

Re: [linux-audio-user] Note tuning and quantizer in audio files

by Alejandro Lopez

Hi Ron, I'm sorry to say I totally lack any hands-on experience with these. I sometimes hear of this or that software which makes use of this technology, I seem to remember being told about some plugin for Cubase VST something like 5 years ago already for instance, supposedly it did audio quantize automagically. Also something like a couple of years ago someone told me about another tool for Windows which has its own frontend. With it, you would use samples to actually compose melodies and the software would adjust notes. All things I've never tried myself. As for Linux, I'm absolutely clueless in all respects. However, I can well remember that, a bit to my embarrassment, our engineer once used a hardware version of a tuner in a trumpet take (that was me playing, oh well!). It was one of these module shaped affects that you use as send-return. The results were just amazing. I believe they are used all the time in studios as I've always seen them around since then. >High quality audio pitch, time stretch and quantization would all be very useful in a DAW like Ardour. I work on enough projects that require extensive editing or rebuilding that command line example applications for a library would be useful. I'm sorry I can't help but I definitely agree, the results are potentially so much higher if you can make good use of this sort of things. >Alex, are you the person who announced their intention to develop these types of libraries on the Linux Consortium mailing list? I wish I was! :-( Cheers, Alex _________________________________________________________________ Reserva desde ahora tus vacaciones en MSN Viajes.

[linux-audio-user] merging multimedia patches into the Linux kernel

by Florin Andrei

See this discussion on kerneltrap.org: http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3429 Quoting Con Kolivas: "Last time I posted this patch to lkml [the Linux kernel mailing list] almost noone responded on list to say it helped their workload, which is why it was never taken seriously by akpm. Strangely, once again, noone seems to have anything good to say about it in the formal confines of lkml so the list (and myself) will believe it is not worth pursuing." I think Con is right. I think the core Linux kernel developers are really not aware that the vanilla kernel is not appropriate for multimedia work. And that's because no one told them. As a result, i started a thread on the linux-kernel mailing list (named "desktop and multimedia as an afterthought?") in which i try to describe the issues with the Linux kernel on multimedia systems. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108965898400007&r=1&w=2 Please subscribe to LKML and reply to the thread. You can subscribe here: http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html It looks like the kernel people want "numbers". I.e., to quote Denis Vlasenko: "Hi. I tested patches X,Y and Z. X have latency spikes of NN ms. Y does not have 'em, but kernel compile time have gone up by MM mins. Z does not have latency spikes _and_ do not have performance regression like Y. I am willling to test more patches." But i suspect any kind of informative and objective report would be fine. Thank you. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

[linux-audio-user] Re: how good are soundfonts and where do I find them?

>From: Mark Knecht <mknecht(a)controlnet.com> >> >> What Mellotron sounds are these? > >Sonic Implants String Boxes >http://www.gigasamplers.com/GnCDRomGigasamplerVintage.htm > >Buy carefully. It isn't exactly like playing the real beast. Now that >was fun! Is the problem in modern keyboards and samplers? If the sounds are digitized correctly, i.e. 8 seconds of tape per key, then why one is not able to make an accurate emulator? The playing style with Mellotron is melloing, not modern looping. Bad things can happen if sounds are modernized: a Fairlight II sample CD has the sounds apparently fit to modern loop-based sample format with the result that the looping sounds are practically unusable! That means the famous vocals and choirs, and strings, flutes etc. BTW, anyone has Sonic Implants' Silk Road samples and could make me a demo? A free play demo would be fine, but I have turkish and arabic midi files which would be better for the demo. There is a demo at their website but guess what, the demo is not made with the synth samples -- the demo is made with audiofiles included in the CD.

[linux-audio-user] Connecting JackRack

by hansfong＠zonnet.nl

Can someone give me a hint about the following... My midi-keyboard is connected to my Audigy soundcard and I use qjackctl to connect it to the emu10k1 wavetable as follows: Readable clients Writable clients 64:0 Audigy MPU-401 (UART) ----> 65:0 Emu10k1 WaveTable Now I want to add some reverb with JackRack. How do I do that? My idea was the following... 64:0 Audigy MPU-401 (UART) ----> 129:0 JackRack control 129:0 JackRack control ----> 65:0 Emu10k1 WaveTable ...only this doesn't work. What does? I googled, but couldn't find an answer. I'm pretty new to midi, so even if it might be obvious, bear with me.

[linux-audio-user] Re: setting the load-path for snd extensions

by Bill Schottstaedt

> Syntax error in fixed argument declaration If possible, update to Guile 1.6 (and a newer Snd!) -- otherwise, (as noted in README.Snd), you need to load fix-optargs.scm before anything else.

[linux-audio-user] setting the load-path for snd extensions

by Joel Roth

I'm following Dave Phillips tutorials to configure extensions for snd, and having trouble loading files. I'm using debian, with .scm files in /usr/share/scm $ snd --version This is Snd version 5.9 of 15-Apr-02: Xen: 1.2, Guile: 1.4 OSS 3.8.2 Sndlib 15.2 (29-Mar-02, int24 samples) CLM 2.4 (8-Apr-02) GSL 1.0 Motif 2.1.30 X11R6 Xpm 3.4.11 with LADSPA Compiled Apr 18 2002 11:34:47 C: 2.95.4 (Debian prerelease) Libc: 2.3.2.stable After much trial and error, I think I have the %load-path part figured out. <in listener> (set! %load-path (cons "/usr/share/snd" %load-path)) (display %load-path) (/usr/share/snd /usr/share/guile/site /usr/share/guile/1.4 /usr/share/guile .) [at first I was expecting this output in the listener; it came out in the xterm.] (load-from-path "snd-motif.scm") Syntax error in fixed argument declaration (load-from-path "snd-motif.scm") (load "/usr/share/snd/snd-motif.scm") Syntax error in fixed argument declaration (load "/usr/share/snd/snd-motif.scm") This similarity leads me to believe that I've gotten %load-path right. But what about the error? snd-motif.scm is huge, and not even a line number in the error message. How do you scheme/guile people debug?? How do you snd users get this working? These extensions seem really juicy, though I can't seem to get them loaded properly. I keep lifting the Tantalusian goblet to my lips.... Any pointers for a new scheme/snd user? -- Joel Roth
