[linux-audio-user] a PC only for Piano with Keyboard Midi

by Tommy

hi all, I've a keyboard midi "Roland PC-300" that work perfectly with GNU/Linux (and Demudi 1.2.0rc3) Now I want to use an old pc only for piano, let me explain. 1) I connect the keyboard PC-300 into pc (off) 2) I turn on the pc 3) automatically I play with my keyboard with my preferred instrument "the Piano" (or a synth like qsynth for selecting the instrument from the bank with midi selection of keyboardmidi) 4) ctrl-alt-canc for turn off the pc (I know in /etc/inittab how to do this :) ) thanks for any ideas or tips Tommy ps. sorry for my bad english

[linux-audio-user] Delta 66/new mobo question

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: eBay lists a number of these cards for sale, some with pretty good prices. However, I do have a couple questions before laying out the dinero: Is the Omni breakout box just as usable under Linux as the regular 4x4 box ? Is the S/PDIF fully supported under ALSA ? Is the MIDI I/O fully supported by ALSA ? I realize that the ALSA site answers these questions, but I want input from users. I'm also in the market for a new mobo, but I can't break the bank on it. I'm currently using an 800 MHz Duron CPU: what would be a suggested upgrade for a Delta 66-based studio, especially WRT the CPU ? Any and all suggestions will be vastly appreciated ! Best, dp

Yes, the pages should be downloadable for offline reading. But the format of the wiki pages need not be tied to that. Check out how http://wiki.beyondunreal.com has done it. (I don't know how they technically do it.) For a good reason they disallow the download of the entire site, but they wisely provide the whole site in one package. More sites should do the same.

[linux-audio-user] Hardware recommendation

by Pieter Penninckx

Hi, Porhaps I will have the opportunity to buy a new computer. I have allready my soudcard and microphone and I am waiting for my mixer. So the question is: what motherboard, processor, power supply unit, computer case, harddisk etc. do you recommend and whitch pieces of hardware are problematic? I want to do harddisk recording and midi with softsynths. I want the computer to be silent (I have a condenser microphone) and I want low latency, of cource. Kind regards, Pieter Penninckx

[linux-audio-user] Re: [QMidiArp] README found

by Matthias Nagorni

Hello Mark, I take this back to the list because it seems I have to explain the approach that QMidiArp uses in a bit more detail...

And here the pattern is transposed whenever you press another key on the keyboard. However QMidiArp works differently. It is based on my experience with the MAP1 hardware arpeggiator. The MAP1 takes the notes into which the pattern is translated from the chord that you play on the keyboard. This way you can play whatever complicated chords with the most complicated alterations and the arpeggiator will still perfectly follow it. I already have an extension to QMidiArp in mind: There could be an additional tab that would have radiobuttons to select chords, like e.g. M, m, 7, M7, m7, ... This could then serve to fill the note buffer that the arpeggiator uses for its pattern. But then you would have to manually change the chord whenever you do a modulation.

[linux-audio-user] Best distro for Audio??

by Russell Hanaghan

I need to stretch my wings a little and try something outside of Mandrake 10.0... Can I get some basic pros and cons of the different distro's you're using? And especially from previous Mandrake users. Been thinking about CCRMA because I'm used to packages but I would build more stuff if it wasn't such a struggle every time I do it. Sometimes I just need to install stuff and have it work and not spend 20 hours sifting through Google hits, how to's, etc. I enjoy the learning and Linux; I just don't have a lot of spare time. Thanks R~
