[linux-audio-user] a nice song recorded with ardour, rosegarden, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc...

by Marcos Guglielmetti

Hi, Today we finished a job with a man called Juan M. Bogado: a nice song! He did the MIDI job with his PC and then I imported the .mid file into Rosegarden. We used Specimen for the piano, Zynaddsubfx for Bass and synths, Qsynth for GM percusion, Hydrogen for the main drums (kit: yamaha vintage), and his acustic guitar. We recorded all the audio files into Ardour, and then mastered with Jamin, you can listen to it by clicking here: www.musix.org.ar/ogg/Juan-Martin-Bogado__Yira_Mundo__Musix_GNU-Linux.ogg Hope you like it! -- Marcos Guglielmetti(www.pc-musica.com.ar) Coordinador del desarrollo de Musix GNU+Linux (www.musix.org.ar) ___________________________________________________________ 1GB gratis, Antivirus y Antispam Correo Yahoo!, el mejor correo web del mundo http://correo.yahoo.com.ar

I have the line about OSS in .wine/config uncommented. MIDI ALSA ports work fine through their OSS emulation.

Previous versions had the program come up and play. The style loading dialogs were usable but did not display or work correctly. Other apps: XGEdit -- operates. Its rightmost column of buttons (sound program selection) does not appear at all. Tabledit -- works 100% Abcmus -- works 100% . There is a wealth of music around in abc format which is good old 7-bit ascii and was once the mainstay of unix music coding. Tabledit will import abc files as well. Tracktion -- come up, samples all the VSTs, displays but does not play. Its child-dialogs do not appear but function control/F4 "closes" them. This one is tantalizing close but so far! Cakewalk -- heard tell old version once worked in WINE. New ones will not. Most MIDI programs that worked or almost worked on older WINEs will crash now. Their custom controls are usually the problem.

[linux-audio-user] Audio interface full duplex

by Konrad Mathieu

Hi, Konrad here, I am new to this list and about to build a serious linux box. We are planning to build a system that can send (serve) and receive mp3 streams at the same time using a multi channel interface such as an RME Hammerfall card. As I have about ten boxes running different flavours of linux but never even touched a graphical interface, I have gotten as far as running mplayer to receive one stereo feed and send it to an M-Audio Delta 44 from command line. I wonder if a) you can run several instances of mplayer and send their signals to separate outputs of the same I/O card and b) whether it's possible to run multiple shoutcast servers at the same time that get their audio from the inputs of that same card. I've heard of jackd but am not sure if it can do all this. The whole thing is meant to be run in a recording studio so it must be rather professional. Thanks very much for your comments and cheers, Konrad

[linux-audio-user] Next question re midi

by Gene Heskett

Greetings; I have installed an Audigy 2 value board which is supposed to do midi according to the propaganda. Kernel is 2.6.15, with all revelant audio as modules and are modprobe.conf-iged in and showing in the lsmod listing which is quite bulky so I won't post that list. In kde's control center, under sound, the normal, .wav or .ogg based effects work rather nicely, but the midi test seems to be a total non performer. I have this Audigy defined as snd-card-0 in my modules.conf, and here is a cat of /proc/asound/cards: ---------- 0 [Audigy2 ]: Audigy2 - Audigy 2 Value [SB0400] Audigy 2 Value [SB0400] (rev.0, serial:0x10011102) at 0x9000, irq 20 1 [nForce2 ]: NFORCE - NVidia nForce2 NVidia nForce2 with ALC655 at 0xed001000, irq 17 ---------- And: ---------- # cat /proc/asound/oss/devices 0: [0- 0]: mixer 1: : sequencer 2: [0- 0]: raw midi 3: [0- 0]: digital audio 4: [0- 0]: digital audio 8: : sequencer 9: [0- 0]: raw midi 12: [0- 1]: digital audio 13: [0- 1]: raw midi 14: [0- 1]: raw midi 16: [1- 0]: mixer 19: [1- 0]: digital audio 20: [1- 0]: digital audio 28: [1- 1]: digital audio ----------- And: ----------- # cat /proc/asound/seq/* Client info cur clients : 5 peak clients : 6 max clients : 192 Client 0 : "System" [Kernel] Port 0 : "Timer" (Rwe-) Port 1 : "Announce" (R-e-) Connecting To: 15:0 Client 14 : "Midi Through" [Kernel] Port 0 : "Midi Through Port-0" (RWe-) Client 15 : "OSS sequencer" [Kernel] Port 0 : "Receiver" (-we-) Connected From: 0:1 Output pool : Pool size : 1024 Cells in use : 0 Peak cells in use : 1 Alloc success : 401 Alloc failures : 0 Client 16 : "Audigy MPU-401 #2" [Kernel] Port 0 : "Audigy MPU-401 (UART)" (RWeX) Port 32 : "Audigy MPU-401 #2" (RWeX) Client 17 : "Emu10k1 WaveTable" [Kernel] Port 0 : "Emu10k1 Port 0" (-We-) Port 1 : "Emu10k1 Port 1" (-We-) Port 2 : "Emu10k1 Port 2" (-We-) Port 3 : "Emu10k1 Port 3" (-We-) snd-emu10k1-synth,loaded,1 snd-seq-midi,loaded,2 snd-seq-oss,loaded,1 OSS sequencer emulation version 0.1.8 ALSA client number 15 ALSA receiver port 0 Number of applications: 0 Number of synth devices: 1 synth 0: [Emu10k1] type 0x1 : subtype 0x20 : voices 64 capabilities : ioctl enabled / load_patch enabled Number of MIDI devices: 7 midi 0: [Midi Through Port-0] ALSA port 14:0 capability read/write / opened none midi 1: [Audigy MPU-401 (UART)] ALSA port 16:0 capability read/write / opened none midi 2: [Audigy MPU-401 #2] ALSA port 16:32 capability read/write / opened none midi 3: [Emu10k1 Port 0] ALSA port 17:0 capability write / opened none midi 4: [Emu10k1 Port 1] ALSA port 17:1 capability write / opened none midi 5: [Emu10k1 Port 2] ALSA port 17:2 capability write / opened none midi 6: [Emu10k1 Port 3] ALSA port 17:3 capability write / opened none --------- So that looks as if it should be raring to go.

It turns out that adding the oss modules to the blacklist isn't enough; you also have to take them out of /etc/modules and /etc/modules<kernel version information>. But I am now booting with no oss modules that I know about, including not the ones you mention. A nice side effect of all the reboots that it took to figure that out is that sound now comes up configured and enabled without my runing alsaconf and stuff. However, I still don't have MIDI. The only sound-related error message I see when I boot up is: root@serpent:/var/log# grep snd_seq syslog Jan 11 12:08:23 serpent modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting snd_seq_oss (/lib/modules/2.6.14-2-686/kernel/sound/core/seq/oss/snd-seq-oss.ko): Device or resource busy This suggests to me that the modutils files written by something or other (certainly not me) are confused about what order to load things in. My (clearly not educated enough) guess would be that snd-seq-oss would have something to do with the oss emulation, which wouldn't be what aplaymidi would be using to play MIDI files, but of course, if my system is confused about this, who knows what else it might be confused about? So does anyone want to explain what this error message means, or make a new guess about why my system doesn't play MIDI files? -- Laura (mailto:lconrad@laymusic.org , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (501) 641-5011 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139

[linux-audio-user] Apology

by M P Smoak

I usually don't say much 'round here. Tonight I said a bit. Maybe too much. Well, like Leon said, "the firewaters not the villain". We got a group together here right now that cooking. Playin' the realbook. and folk composing. and me recording. and me not able to get any of it for you folks to hear cause of 'copyright concerns'. and last weekend, Joe brought in a tape. an out of tune tape. sounded real good and we worked on it. but I ditched the keyboard and went to alto sax. it's easy to tune; kb is impossible now. (kb pitchbend has a spring; i'm not ripping into the kb to take it out (but I'm tempted0)). And that reminds me of using aplaymidi and ctrl-whatever to play midi file. And how I really like linux but how could I reccomend it to one of the folks I play with. I've probably said too much, so i continue with this apology. Marv

[linux-audio-user] WINE and MIDI

by Victor Roetman

How can I get my WINE applications to see my alsa MIDI ports? I have read some reports of people using Band-in-a-Box and Jammer with WINE, with varied success. I wanted to try using several of my Windows MIDI apps (Jammer, OneManBand, some synth editors) under WINE, but when I am able to get the application to work, it says there are no MIDI devices available, except the MIDI mapper for output, which seems to do nothing for me. How can I get these applications to see a MIDI input and MIDI output port that I can route to somewhere useful? Thanks. vic -- -= =- vroetman(a)myrealbox.com -= =-

[linux-audio-user] help with virtual midi?

by bernie arai

i've been trying to set up an alsa virtual midi card (to use Steem with some soft synths) to no avail. i'm running FC4 planet ccrma kernel 2.6.12-0.21.rdt.rhfc4.ccrma on a fujitsu s2020 laptop. had no trouble back when i was using ccrma FC3... (i tried posting on the planet ccrma list, but got no responses, so i'm hoping this group can help out?) attempting to hand load the snd-virmidi module results in: [root@localhost bernie]# /sbin/modprobe snd-virmidi snd_index=2 FATAL: Error inserting snd_virmidi (/lib/modules/2.6.12-0.21.rdt.rhfc4.ccrma/updates/drivers/snd-virmidi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) ...but when i look at /var/log/dmesg (is that the right place?) i can't see anything relating to it. any help would be much appreciated... bernie

[linux-audio-user] rlimit problem on opensuse 10.0: pam_limits: unknown limit item 'rtprio'

by Joern Nettingsmeier

hi everyone! after some time of job-induced absence from audio work, i have tried to bring my audio workstation up to date again. the problem is that i can't get realtime privileges. arch is x86_64, distro is opensuse 10.0, i'm using the distro kernel, which is a 2.6.13 with additional patches. my /etc/security/limits.conf: @realtime - memlock 128000 @realtime - nice 10 @realtime - rtprio 70 the account i use is member of @realtime. on login, i get Jan 6 00:01:38 kleineronkel pam_limits[13812]: unknown limit item 'nice' Jan 6 00:01:38 kleineronkel pam_limits[13812]: unknown limit item 'rtprio' and jack tells me it can't get rt scheduling. memlock works, though. i browsed the kernel source, and it looks like the rlimit patch is there. pam is recent: pam-0.80-6 pam_ldap-178-3 pam-modules-10.0-11.2 the bash is not yet rlimits-aware (ulimit does not know about nice and rtprio), but that should not be a problem, right? is there a /proc or /sys file associated with the rlimits patch, so that i can make sure my running kernel has it? or any other command-line tools that might help to find the problem? any hints appreciated. best, jörn ps: i'm aware of the jacklab effort, but i don't want to use realtime-lsm, and since this is a 64bit box, their packages don't buy me much. -- jörn nettingsmeier home://germany/45128 essen/lortzingstr. 11/ http://spunk.dnsalias.org phone://+49/201/491621 if you are a free (as in "free speech") software developer and you happen to be travelling near my home, drop me a line and come round for a free (as in "free beer") beer. :-D
