Re: [linux-audio-user] Re: *UPDATE* MIDI exported from Cakewalk sounds horrible!

by aljordan＠maine.rr.com

FYI -- I have a couple of songs originally written in Cakewalk Pro-Audio 9 that I have imported into Rosegarden to output the tracks through Fluid-synth and various soundfonts. Some of the tracks sound fine, such as the piano and bass tracks. However, the lead guitar track, going through Fluid Synth and a Sonic Implants soundfont, sounds horribly out of tune whenever more than a single note is played at one time. I got around the problem by sending the guitar track to ZynAddSubFX instead of Fluidsynth. This leads to to believe that it is fluid-synth specific, but I haven't done any more digging into the problem to look at specific events that might be causing the problem.

[linux-audio-user] Converting DAT to 16 bit/44KHz stereo using S/PDIF

by ISh

Hi all, I wanted to convert some of my DAT(48KHz) tapes into CD Audio Quality(16 bit/44KHz stereo) via S/PDIF connection on the Soundblaster Audigy ZS Sound Card. I just wanted to know if I will be able to do it with Ardour and what all settings will have to be taken care off (like in the mixer/ardour Settings etc). And if any one knows of some postings on the web that explains this stuff, that will be really helpful. Basically what software can be used to import the DAT using S/PDIF and the settings that go along with that. Thanks ISh

Re: [linux-audio-user] Please test the RT rlimits patch for audio

by Norval Watson

Hi Lee, Thanx for the tips. I'm can't do anything right now coz I need a few packages to continue and I'm stuck in a pure64/debian-pure64 version-skew right now. In the meantime I compiled 2.6.12-rc2 with realtime-lsm module according to realtime-lsm/INSTALL and have it running in 64bit. Now sorting out JACK and segfault stuff... I'll have another go at the RT-rlimits/PAM approach when I can get the packages I need.. Cheers Norv

[linux-audio-user] MIDI exported from Cakewalk sounds horrible!

by ross＠jose.lug.udel.edu

Hello all, I used to use Cakewalk on a small Windows partition for composing work. Now, I'm trying to take the midi files I'd exported from Cakewalk and play them using rosegarden/fluidsynth/pmidi. My songs sounds like a cacophony. Things are so wrong - it sounds truely horrible. I downloaded some MIDI files from around the internet and they all play normally. Is is possible Cakewalk has some SysEx events in there that pmidi/rosegarden are interpreting as notes? Cause damn. I didn't write this stuff! -- Ross Vandegrift ross(a)lug.udel.edu "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies.

[linux-audio-user] converting sysEx from my juno-106 into something more useful

by Brian Dunn

one reason i purchased this classic roland juno-106 is the 13 beautifull sliders, witch i thought would be usefull for controlling software synths and live jams. However, they output sysEx and most linux audio apps prefrer to work with controler data. I would like a converter program that would recive my juno's sySex and output controler data on whatever controler # and midi channel i choose, in realtime. is there something like this out there? if need be i can write one that will run in tim tompson's KeyKit. or maybe someone can give me a pointer as to how to go about writing my own self contained converter program? thankful: Brian

[linux-audio-user] New free soundfont and question

by Emiliano Grilli

Hi all, I've released a new free soundfont out of a bunch of samples taken by Paolo Ingraito, the italian guy who made the mellotron soundfonts. It's a collection of kitchen noises and you'll find it here: http://freepats.opensrc.org/sf2/ under the directory "kitchen". There's also a midifile and a demo ogg. The midifile is done with muse and its internal version of fluidsynth. The soundfont has been created with swami (version 0.9.2). There's only one problem, for which I ask you help and testing: If loaded in fluidsynth, all sounds good (as in the ogg); but when used with timidity, the sounds play back at one octave higher. Maybe it's me (it is only my 2nd soundfont), or a possible bug in one of those softwares (swami, fluidsynth, timidity)? When creating the sf2, all sounded good because fluidsynth is the underlying engin of swami... but why timidity plays at uncorrect pitch?

[linux-audio-user] ZynAddSubFX 2.2.1 released

by Paul

Hi. Yesterday, I released zynaddsubfx 2.2.1: News: - made to work with mxml-2.2 (will NOT work on older versions) - it is possible to remove completely the graphical user interface (e.g. it can r un without X). For this you need to modify the DISABLE_GUI option from the Makefile.inc - added a commandline -L which load a instrument (.xiz) - now it only loads to pa rt 0 (you can use this option with -l to load a master file and after this the option -L to replace the part) You can find it at the usual place: http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net Paul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
