Now that LAU seems to be workign again...
Hello all,
I have some new music and new tracker ramblings at
http://blog.dis-dot-dat.net/2006/01/music-delays-and-perl-nightmares.html
The track uses a sample of railway station ambiance I found at
freesound, and some cycles taken from my own voice for the bass and
main synth.
Comments, feedback and criticism are, as always, gratefully
received. Almost, anyway. You can't see if I sulk.

(By Vance Petree, Virginia Power)
Dear all,
it turns out that my device, USB Audiophile, does not seem to
be able to capture audio, which makes it almost useless for me.
Now the question is: Can you suggest a reliable USB soundcard
that works well with Alsa in full-duplex? Say between Eur200-400?
thanks a lot

Hello ... (as an aside, please count me in as another Slackware-10.2
user, installing packages that don't ship with Slackware from source;
I've been off the list for a while, but just browsed the recent archives
and spotted that thread while looking for a solution to what follows ...)
After my partially crippled music workstation workstation finally stopped
booting altogether, I finally replaced it about a month ago (in fact,
the hardware itself was replaced just about exactly a month ago, though
I salvaged the audio interface from the previous system).
The system is an AMD Athlon64, with a Cirrus Logic CS 4624 sound card
("Hercules Fortissimo Game Surround"), and an onboard ATI SB400 AC'97
Audio Controller. It seems that the ATI sound interface may be better
than the CS 4624 for some things, though it doesn't appear to have
any MIDI support, which the CS 4624 does, and which I consider quite
important for my purposes. Drivers for both sound devices are compiled
into a custom monolithic kernel. I haven't decided yet whether I'm
going to try using them together (for example to provide additional
outputs while processing sound files and mixing), or whether I'll use
one in favour of the other, but whichever I do, I'm going to need to to
use the CS46xx card for MIDI input and output.
I recently installed Rosegarden-4-1.0, after having last tried Rosegarden
in late 2003 (rosegarden-4.0.9.1), and previously having successfully
used Rosegarden-2.1 to some extent. Before I go on, I have to take a
moment to say thank you to the folks who worked on that (and frankly
on the couple dozen or so other audio applications I've installed that
are turning this system into a very respectable music workstation: from
Audacity and LinuxSampler, to Ardour and JAMin, and all the support
applications, gui frontends, and libraries that make them all tick).
You guys have (all!) done really great work.
Now the problem I'm having, I imagine is due more to my own lack of
understanding than to any failure in the software or (I hope) an error
in installation.
Most things I use seem to be working fine: I can control LinuxSampler (and
FLUIDSynth, with which I've also tested Rosegarden) from a MIDI keyboard
plugged into the computer's MIDI input (through a MIDI patchbay, but
it isn't configured to apply any sort of filtering on the MIDI stream).
I can play MIDI files with aplaymidi through a synthesizer plugged into
the computer's MIDI output (through the same MIDI patchbay). However,
I can't seem to get any MIDI output from Rosegarden, either through
the softsynths (LinuxSampler or FLUIDsynth) or out the computer's MIDI
out port.
I've tried various configurations with JACK, but still no progress.
Can someone suggest where I should be looking for more information
about this? I'll certainly provide more information if I've overlooked
anything important.
I've not tried Rosegarden's audio support (yet), though I was relieved to
find that it seems to import Rosegarden-2.x files apparently flawlessly.
Audio out works fine from other applications I've tried, though (Ardour,
Audacity, FluidSynth and LinuxSampler), so I'm not expecting to have
any problems with this function in Rosegarden.
Any help with my MIDI problem would be greatly appreciated ...

Hello!
I was able to compile fst with the older version of the VST SDK. But fst
does not do its job. If I try to load a VST plugin, I only get some
cryptic error messages. I've tried to test it with NI B4, because I've
read that this plugin should work with fst.

In most recent WINE, Jammer Pro 5 or 6 come up.
Band style load dialogs are usable. There are extra open and cancel buttons
which are not active and probably extras that the author deactivated in favor
of his own. Attempts to "compose" hand up the program and will eventually
fail.
Announcing the 20060122 release of WhySynth, a DSSI softsynth
plugin.
New since the last major release:
* A new oscillator mode, based on Nasca O. Paul's gorgeous
PADsynth algorithm.
* A new filter mode, essentially the low-pass filter from amSynth.
* A new dual delay effect.
* Improved and extended wavetables.
* More patches.
* Lots of cleanups and bug fixes, including fixes for more stable
operation especially under Rosegarden, and for compilation on
Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger'.
Find WhySynth here:

I have built a 2.6.15 kernel (with the latest Ingo Molnar's RT patch) and
when I boot on it, my USB soundcard fails to play. It is playing OK with
the 2.6.11 kernel shipped with Fedora Core 4. The device is obviously loaded,
since aplay finds it, but when playing there is no sound whatsoever.
Any suggestions?

You probably already enabled sse or sse2 in your
libfftw2 right? because that made a big difference on
my 'lil P3 laptop. It can play quite a few zyn
instruments before the crackles creep in. from what i
understand its sse for P3 and sse2 for P4 (AMD?).

Yes, it should be possible to include the vstsdk on the fst site. There
are license problems, but they can be solved by ignoring them.
(By the way, vstsdk2.4 is just released.)
Hi!
This question is to all, who have installed their ZynAddSubFX and libfftw
from source. How do I have to configure fftw3, so zynaddsubfx works with it
and compiles ok? I can't manage it, and with my current fftw2 the sounds
sometimes get very awkward.
Thanks for any help!
Kindest regards
Julien
