[linux-audio-user] keyboard recommendations ?

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I'd like to buy a MIDI keyboard, not a synth, just a keyboard. I'm looking for something with at least these capabilities: 2 to 3 octave key span (small is good) octave up/down transposition velocity-sensitive mod and pitch bend wheels sends program change aftertouch sensitive (channel AT is fine) sends MIDI volume (cc #7) Of course I'd also like to spend not very much money. So, is there something out there that fits my needs ? Which inexpensive MIDI keyboards are popular with LA* people ? Best, dp

Re: [linux-audio-user] More music

by davidrclark＠earthlink.net

James, I also like the metallic sounds, but I can hear their compression too clearly. Perhaps others won't hear it. Never know these days... Overall nicely done. Thanks for posting the URL. Personally, I would like to see people post something about their work flow --- sources of sounds, medium recorded to or assembled into, effects processing, etc. The stuff behind the scenes. Regards, Dave.

Re: [linux-audio-user] So, no dice on the PAM RLimits patch?

by thewade

Thanks Fernando for the patch! I had a little supprise once I installed the patched pam from source: after shutdown I couldn't get back in! I used a rescue disk though and fixed pam by removing all occurances of the $ISA variable in each of the files in pam.d, as I was getting /var/log/messages about pam not being able to find some of the .so files. My next questions are: 1. Why won't pam do what it needs to with this $ISA variable? 2. Now that I have a running RT kernel and a patched for rlimits pam with all users having "realtime" permissions; how should I start jackd and pd to take advantage of these changes? I run: nice -5 qjackctl (starting jackd with a priority of 89 as that seems to be as high a priority as qjackctl will let me pass) nice -5 pd But my latency values are about the same as running: qjackctl (and jackd at 0 priority) pd ...? Thanks for the continued help! -thewade

[linux-audio-user] Gnome/K3B CDA burning issue

by Jerome Tuncer

Hello everyone, Mike's mail reminded me I have a persistent problem in K3B when burning audio CDs. I want to burn CDAs with no pause between the tracks. I pop up the "Properties" window on the tracks, sets the padding to 0 sec. which should do the job. In fact, the burning process is OK. The CD is indeed readable... However, the problem I encounter is that the CD is burnt as a two track CD. My Walkman doesn't manage to skip to a track with a higher number than 2. What is wrong here? May it be related to the fact I burn CDAs in DAO mode (I was once told: "If you want no pause between your tracks, you'll have to burn it in DAO mode")? Must I burn them slower than 8x (a thing my burner seems unable to do)? Has anyone experienced the same problem? Does anyone know where it can come from? This reminds me of another question (-: Is there an audio CD extractor able to rip the whole CD as a unique track? I think there was one in Win which could even provide the .cue file with track time indexes which was a really nice feature... That would be great if it existed in Linux, which I don't doubt (-: Cheers, Jé

[linux-audio-user] Specifying the license when posting music?

by David Collins

Just a suggestion: I think it would be useful if people specified what license they are releasing their compositions under when posting them to the list. I've come across some really nice tunes here, but it's unfortunate that sometimes we might not know the extent to which the author wants us to use/distribute them etc.. And granted, some people specify the licenses on their website, but others don't. Anyone else think this is a good idea? P.S. Maybe there's a specific policy already that I'm not aware of? -- http://hl.afraid.org/~david/ -- David Collins __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[linux-audio-user] any linux-audio-user members in san francisco interested in speaking about it?

by michael＠michaelshiloh.com

I'm connected to a group which holds regular talks on a wide range of topics. I've long thought that a talk about audio processing with Linux would be very interesting, but I'm a novice at this. Would anyone on this list be interested in speaking? Information on the group and (I think) a list of previous talk is at http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotsf/ Thanks, Michael

[linux-audio-user] MIDI Test Phrase for Auditioning Patches and Synths

by davidrclark＠earthlink.net

Summary: Test MIDI phrase #1 for auditioning patches or synths: http://home.earthlink.net/~davidrclark/linux_audio_users/mmp1.mid Demo of audition MIDI phrase for eight very different patches from a Roland XV-3080 is at: http://home.earthlink.net/~davidrclark/latest.mp3 ----------------------------- MIDI Test Phrase 1 is a modified arpeggiated phrase that ranges over five octaves with velocities from 64 to 127, contains both long and short notes, some overlapping, some not (to provide some idea of both chord and solo performance), which I have now tested using three hardware synths, several software synths including Nasca O. Paul's ZynAddSubFX and Fluidsynth, using hundreds of patches and soundfonts. This phrase does *not* have modulation, aftertouch, pitchbending or other variations of this sort. This first phrase is anticipated to be the basis of a set of phrases. I have already found this test phrase to be much more useful than I had anticipated in revealing strengths and weaknesses of patches and synths as well as for exploring large synths which offer hundreds or thousands of patches. The MIDI file is completely clean of any controller, including volume, panning, patch selection, etc. so you should be able to just use it to play the same patch as previously chosen or the patch you manually choose on an external synth. I stripped out all of the FF 7F sequencer- and system-specific messages by hand, so please do let me know if you see any problems along those lines or errors I may have introduced into the MIDI file. This MIDI file is being released as "software" under GPL-2 so you can use it in the manner described in that license. This is an original work, so is unencumbered by royalties, etc. Please feel free to exchange samples with colleagues or use this in any way prescribed by GPL-2. The demo uses my binaural image audio software rather than the stock reverb on the Roland XV-3080, so it's intended primarily for headphones. This demo is also released as "software" under GPL-2. Each audio section is a single patch, not performances, but some have multiple tones. Sections (please do listen to these with headphones for much better results): 1) 128 Voice Piano, preset A-001 2) Upright Piano, D-002 (degraded piano) 3) Computer Clavinet, A-033 4) Bluesy OD Guitar, D-037 5) Big BPF, C-103 6) Symphonique, C-044 (sounds a little dark to me) 7) Ice Blasts, F-126 8) Forest Moon, F-115 Hope you enjoy and Regards to all, Dave.
