[linux-audio-user] DR-880 problems with USB MIDI

by Hiram Abiff

Hello! I recently bought a BOSS DR-880 drum machine and am having problems getting it to be recognized as a USB MIDI device on my Slackware 10.1 I use a 2.6.10 kernel with Alsa support compiled in. I also have the snd-usb-audio module which works perfectly with my XP MIDI Mate USB MIDI cable. It gets recognized instantly when plugged in and I see it as a MIDI device in qjackctl. When I plug in the DR-880 via USB to my laptop I see this in /var/log/messages: Jan 19 23:56:01 localhost kernel: usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 When I do "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" I see: T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.)

MxPS= 64 Ivl=1ms However, dmesg says: usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 midi: probe of 3-2:1.0 failed with error -5 What is error -5? I tried googling and searching the newsgroups and searching this list for any help. No luck. I tried searching for earlier BOSS models, the DR-770 and 670, nothing. This link: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3168 says that the DR-880 is supported from Alsa version 1.0.9 or later. I use 1.0.10. I do not know how to roubleshoot this problem. Why doesn't the driver for the DR-880 load. I set up USB mode on the DR-880 to MIDI, so no fuck-up there. Could you please offer some assistance, I would like to sync the DR-880 with the Muse sequencer so it starts playback when I press Play in Muse and I want it to playback from a ceratin point when I adjust the playback slider in Muse. Once again, I kindly ask for help. Best, Hiram. -- Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring The Winter Garment of Repentance fling: The Bird of Time has but a little way To flutter -- and the Bird is on the Wing.

[linux-audio-user] x86_64 and ingo's realtime patches, works?

by Loki Davison

Has anyone actually got this working? If so how and with what settings? I've got 2.6.15 with patch-2.6.15-rt2 to compile fine and boot but the irq handlers seem to use 90% of cpu and the system really feels like it's chugging, everything takes 10 to 100 times longer to load, and anything musical is impossible. I'm running amd64 3000 on an ati chipset based mb. All normal modules, nothing external. I've tried with a number of older kernels / patches but i'm wondering if there is a magic collection that actually works. ;-) Loki

[linux-audio-user] Music made with Linux

by Jan Depner

I wrote this about a week after the storm. Later my daughter worked on the melody and a bit on the lyrics. It was recorded in Ardour (qjackctl/JACK), mastered with JAMin, and trimmed with Audacity. It's in mp3 for my poor benighted Windoze using friends. It is dedicated to Sam who didn't die in the lower ninth ward but in Pass Christian, MS with his two year old son. http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/katrina.mp3 -- Jan 'Evil Twin' Depner The Fuzzy Dice http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/fuzzy.html "As we enjoy great advantages from the invention of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously."

[linux-audio-user] midi through in 2.6

by Atte André Jensen

Hi I've been using the multimedia kernel from demudi, where I used the midi through alsa device. Now I succesfully roled my own 2.6.15 with this patch: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/ But I miss the midi through device. How do I enable it with a vanilla + patched kernel? -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk

[linux-audio-user] Looking for Sound card recommendation

by Reuben D. Budiardja

Hello, I am in the process of looking for a decent sound card to replace my current soundcard which is integrated in the motherboard. The requirement I am looking for are: 1. Supported by ALSA 2. 5.1 output channel with decent sound. 3. Have MIDI/Joystick port and MIDI capture is supported by ALSA. I want the to use the computer to capture MIDI from my keyboard with some sort of sequencer program so then I can print the music. 4. Line-in and Mic input. Line-in capture should be supported so I can record / digitize music. 5. Not too expensive :). Probably I am looking at around $50 or less to spend. Is there such soundcard ? I was first thinking Sound Blaster Live 5.1 but that card is hard to find nowadays in any online store that I browsed. So any recommendation / suggestion, and probably with link, is greatly appreciated. Thank you. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept. Physics and Astronomy University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN

[linux-audio-user] Real Time Sound Levels readings and comparing

by studio64

HI All Is there a Linux way of recording sound from a club or pub/bar using a real time analyzer and then getting an average DB level reading? I would then need to take another reading later and compare the two. In the UK there is a lot of new legislation re sound levels from bars and clubs and I would like to offer a service to show them the levels they are putting out. I would need some way of printing the levels out in a document. This will show that if the clubs has a certain sound level on the dance floor it can't be above a certain level at the street. ie: 75db in the club may read only 65db in the street, meaning they are not causing a noise problem. I'm using 64studio/Ardour/Jamin at the moment on debian, but have also use the planet on Redhat/Fedora. I'm sure its all in here somewhere I just need to know what to learn. Cheers Bob

[linux-audio-user] hardware

by Lee Revell

I am thinking of getting an AMD X2 system. I want to avoid Nvidia chipsets as their hardware is too closed and the Via stuff seems cheap which leaves me with ATI (I realize the latest stuff does not have open drivers, but at least there's a chance they'll release one eventually) Does anyone have any experience with the ASUS A8R-MVP? http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=BA22189 Thanks, Lee
