Hello, all, Is there a console-based program that will let me transpose a midi file without having to go through a text format first? Thanks, Terrence

[linux-audio-user] midi through qjackctl

by Carlos Pino

Hi there. I'm learning about set up my own audio-system. I'm using demudi's kernel 2.6.13-1-multimedia over an installation of Debian etch/sid untill I learn more about compile my own. Till now I've solved some problems I found compiling some apps and everything seems to work not so bad. I have two issues with qjackctl/jackd that don't know how to resolve. 1.-Qjackctl doesn't save the configuration changes.The Setup/misc/save tab option is set to . jackdrc. $ cat .jackdrc /usr/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p512 -n2 But qjackctl say: /usr/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000 -p256 -n2 everytime I launch. 2.- I use band in a box with wine.In demudi I found the way to make it sound using midi through port conected to qsynth via jackd,but don't know what to do to get this port showed at the connect/midi tab of my own compiled qjackctl- 0.2.18.I have compiled jackit-0.100.0 also. Thanks in advance. --Carlos

[linux-audio-user] Re: [Alsa-user] Terratec PHASE 28

by conrad berhörster

Hello Petr, I think, we both are the only ones, who use this card... and try to configure that card. Further, I'm not sure, if the card is full supported from alsa. maybe we both can figure that out. My expierence is that playing is fine on the terratec. First, you should try aplay -I wavefile, to specify, if it is possible to select one channel.

[linux-audio-user] rosegarden & fluidsynth/qsynth questions...

by Michael T D Nelson

Hi all, Thanks for all the help so far! I've downloaded myself a nice-sounding drumkit soundfont, and have it loaded by fluidsynth (using qsynth). I played with the settings in Rosegarden, by clicking my right mouse button on the appropriate MIDI track name. I can now hear all the samples when I click my left mouse button on the notes at the left of the notation editor. However, when I throw a few notes together and press 'play', I only hear the note(s) which falls directly under the playhead at the moment 'play' is pressed. Rosegarden seems to be sending the right MIDI notes somewhere - the little indicator flashes away just as I would expect. Correspondingly, the indicator in qsynth only flashes once, as the first beat is played. Have I configured something incorrectly, or is this a bug? Please let me know if more (or clearer) information would help. I did have this working some months previously - although I was never confident that I understood fully which MIDI output to pick in Rosegarden (especially when I had more than one instance of fluidsynth). Thanks Michael Nelson

[linux-audio-user] Problems starting JACK...

by Michael T D Nelson

Hi all, I wondered if anyone could help me. I'm having problems starting JACK from Qjackctl. I'm running a current PlanetCCRMA FC3 setup, and my soundcard is an RME DIGI9636. I have appended the output which I get in Qjackctl's "messages". Does anyone have any ideas?

[linux-audio-user] ALSA + multichannel card

by Petar Nedyalkov

Hello list, I've successfully installed ALSA drivers 1.0.10rc3 on my server, having two Terratec PHASE 28 cards. Each Terratec PHASE 28 has 8 audio outs, which can be combined into 4 stereo out channels. I want to configure ALSA in such a manner that will allow me to play different sound in each of the four stereo channels. I.e. I want to combine the 8 outs into pairs and use them separately. I think I've solved it, but: 1. I'm puzzled why the amixer output for each card doesn't show I have four stereo out channels but have Front, Rear and Side as stereo, and Center and LFE as mono. Does this concern the ice1724 module? 2. When I play sound through the newly configured PCM devices it's volume is low even if I've configured it with amixer to 100%. Can you please tell me if my configuration is correct - does it combine each of the 8 out channels into 4 pcm devices? Does each of these 4 pcm devices represent one of the Front, Rear, Side, Center/LFE channels (I want to control the volume through amixer). I want to use it with mplayer - for instance `mplayer -ao alsa:device=card11 song1.mp3` and `mplayer -ao alsa:device=card12 song2.mp3`, etc. Here's my .asoundrc sample for one of the cards: pcm.card1 { type dmix ipc_key 321456 ipc_key_add_uid true slave { pcm "hw:1" rate 44100 format S32_LE period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_size 8192 channels 8 } bindings { 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 } } pcm.card11 { type plug slave { pcm "card1" channels 8 } ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 } pcm.card12 { type plug slave { pcm "card1" channels 8 } ttable.0.2 1 ttable.1.3 1 } pcm.card13 { type plug slave { pcm "card1" channels 8 } ttable.0.4 1 ttable.1.5 1 } pcm.card14 { type plug slave { pcm "card1" channels 8 } ttable.0.6 1 ttable.1.7 1 } Thanks for the help. -- Cyberly yours, Petar Nedyalkov Devoted Orbitel Fan :-) PGP ID: 7AE45436 PGP Public Key: http://bu.orbitel.bg/pgp/bu.asc PGP Fingerprint: 7923 8D52 B145 02E8 6F63 8BDA 2D3F 7C0B 7AE4 5436

[linux-audio-user] linux 2.6.14-rt5 strange lockup

by thewade

Hello all, I am still trying to get rt5 built... Now my problem is that when I boot the rt kernel it all looks good - I get to the screen with the Fedora booting progress bar - but when the kernel tries to remount root in read/write mode the machine freezes. I am using the default config file for Fedora Core 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 except I changed preempt to volentary, processor Hz to 1000, processor type to Athlon64, and threaded hard and soft IRQ's. i may have forgotten something that I changed but can you think of a reason that the kernel would freeze when trying to remount the root device? It seems odd becasue if it can mount the device to load the kernel then why can't it remount that same device? Thanks for the help! (After I get the sweet kernel working I have tr rebuild the cool ati-fglrx module that complains about spinlocking. Fun... :P) -thewade [pdman@musicbox ~]$ cat /etc/fstab # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 [pdman@musicbox ~]$ cat /etc/mtab /dev/hda3 / ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/proc /proc proc rw 0 0 /dev/sys /sys sysfs rw 0 0 /dev/devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/hda2 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0 automount(pid2065) /misc autofs rw,fd=4,pgrp=2065,minproto=2,maxproto=4 0 0 automount(pid2081) /net autofs rw,fd=4,pgrp=2081,minproto=2,maxproto=4 0 0
