[linux-audio-user] [ANN] QjackCtl 0.2.21 is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, In the wake of the JACK 0.102.20 release, here goes the respective friendly GUI: QjackCtl 0.2.21 is out. As usual, the change-log says it all: - GPL address update. - All window captions can now be set smaller as tool-widgets. This option takes effect when child windows are kept always on top. - For the brave of heart, specially the ones brave enough to try with Stephane Letz's jackdmp, a win32 build should be now possible. - The main window button text labels are now optional (after a kind suggestion by Geoff Beasley, thanks). - Increse default maximum number of ports setting from 128 to 256. - Initial freebob backend driver support. Also changed the coreaudio backend driver command line device name/id parameter (EXPERIMENTAL). - Closing the main window while not as an active JACK client, nor under a server running state, will just quit the whole application, even though the system-tray icon option is in effect. - The most relevant transport commands (Rewind, Play and Pause) are now made available on the main window context popup menu. - The post-shutdown script is now also being called when using the Stop button, whether the jackd server has been started internally or not. The initial hard-coded default is now on and set to `killall jackd` (as a workaround to an old request from Stephane Letz). - The main window buttons display are now optional. One can choose whether the left, right and/or transport buttons are hidden, making it for a total of six different modes for the main window presentation (after a much simpler suggestion from Paul Davis and Stephane Letz). - Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED). Nuff this time. Hope you enjoy. -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela

[linux-audio-user] Music: There's A Girl

by Thorsten Wilms

Hi! http://www.archive.org/details/theres_a_girl "There's a girl, that want's to own you from your head, down to your toes She wants your mind, your soul and spirit Why it is, she only knows You must take, your money with you Every night, out on the town You hesitate, just for an instant She'll cut you loose, to sink and drown Her heart is cold, so cold and deep boy Like the waters, of the ocean's tongue Her eyes are sharp, they'll stab your back boy So watch her close, don't turn and run." A text by drew Roberts, which you can find as spoken words at http://www.archive.org/details/dragirl These words and the inherent rhythm inspired me to make a track, and after trying rap and some kinda reggae, I finally pulled this through. My usual tools: Om, MusE, Jamin Other tools: my voice, keyring and a coffee mug. If anyone thinks he can add something, or do a better job at singing ... i'm all ears and willing to make revised version in cooperation. All files can be made available on request. All feedback welcome. I especialy like to hear descriptions of the track, your own view on it. Reviews at the archive would also be nice ;) Cheers, Thorsten Wilms

[linux-audio-user] hdsp no input or output

by David Greene

I'm having some trouble getting audio to and from an hdsp cardbus+multiface II setup. I can load the ALSA modules just fine, the firmware gets loaded, Jack starts up just fine, etc. But when I start up hdspmixer and set levels, I don't get anything from the input channels and I don't hear anything on the output channels. I had this working once before (with ardour, hdspmixer, etc.) so I don't know why I can't get it to go now. I seem to recall there was some trick I had to do to enable everything but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. I'm searched through the howtos and list archives but no mention of a problem like this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. -Dave

[linux-audio-user] All sounds of Bristol/ZynAddSubFx/etc?

by Juhana Sadeharju

Hello. I requested this months if not years ago. Could anyone play all presets of Bristol/ZynAddSubFx/Juno and similar software synths to a flac/ogg/mp3 file? Or, for a start, could anyone generate a MIDI file which goes through all presets and plays something simple? Can MIDI data be used to change the instrument over all presets sequentially from 1 to N? If not, I may write an OSC based program which does the same. But is such a program needed? Could I just write OSC commands to a file and feed the file to the input of the synth with existing Linux socket program of some sort? Yep, all sounds played sequentially in one audio file would be nice as a quick reference what sounds are available. I would like to do the same with commercial synths like Yamaha FM synths and analogue modelling synths.

[linux-audio-user] 70th Birthday of Steve Reich.

by Maarten de Boer

Hello, Today is the 70th Birthday of composer Steve Reich. In his honour, I ran Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" through tapiir (+ jack + rezound) http://www.iua.upf.es/~mdeboer/happy_birthday_steve_reich.m3u http://www.iua.upf.es/~mdeboer/happy_birthday_steve_reich.mp3 "Steve Reich (born Stephen Michael Reich, October 3, 1936) is an American composer. Reich is known as one of the pioneers of minimalism, although he has increasingly deviated from a purely minimalist style. Reich has developed a number of very influential compositional ideas including using tape loops to create phasing patterns (such as in his first works, It's Gonna Rain, Come Out);" (Wikipedia) maarten -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[linux-audio-user] xmms does not play on multiface

by Dragan Noveski

hi to the list, i have a strange issue here with xmms, which wants not to play via rme-multiface. i am using 2.6.18-rt5 kernel, compiled with 1000Hz option, when i load my usb device, or the onboard sound, xmms plays very well, but only on the multiface i have the issue, that xmms responses only the first "click" and than it freezes. the same issue i have using the 2.6.16-rt13 kernel, but as it is working on these kernels using the usb/onboard sound, i dont think that this is related to the kernel, but perhaps to the firmware? dont know. does anybody else have this problem using rme-cards? cheers, doc

[linux-audio-user] Intel DG965WH motherboard

by John Anderson

Hi y'all My PC died very suddenly on Sunday night (moment of silence). One can't buy Sempron processors here anymore, so yesterday I bought an Intel DG965WH motherboard with a Core Duo E6600 and 2G of RAM. I managed to get it up and running without too many problems using my previous 32bit installation (Gentoo). There were however a couple of non-critical gotchas: - The PATA IDE controller on the board is a Marvell which isn't explicitly supported by even 2.6.18. Apparently there are efforts underway by the kernel developers to get the docs. Anyway, I was lucky that my OS lives on a SCSI drive so it booted OK. Eventually I found out that adding boot parameters "all-generic-ide irqpoll" to the kernel lets it see the IDE drive where all my sound files are. hdparm says I'm getting 45 - 50 MB/sec so that should be fine. - There's only one PATA connection. Which is fine for 1x cd and 1x hard drive, except with my Antec case which has the cd and the hd very far apart :-( - I'm sure you've noticed by now that Intel made much PR mileage of the open source drivers for the onboard video adapters for these boards. Which is wonderful and all, except that right now the agpgart isn't supported in 2.6.18, and the xorg driver is in 7.1. Which is currently masked by Gentoo, and a PITA to unmask because xorg is in zillions of itty bitty modules. I don't know about xorg-7.1 availability in other distros. The sources for the up-to-date agpgart and so on are available on Intel's website (intellinuxgraphics.org) but I met a nice black screen when I tried them and I didn't feel like fighting with it anymore. So for now I'm using the vesa driver which actually works OK - very little redrawing lag when I switch desktops and so on. - I disabled the onboard soundcard and the ICE1712 is working fine so far with jack at -p64 -n2, 2.6.18 with Ingo's patches. I haven't given it any serious work to do so far though. The sound card is on a shared interrupt with the SCSI controller (Adaptec 29160) and several USB controllers. Which was a recipe for xruns on my previous board. - And of course since the machine is still using a 32 bit installation, so there's only 1 processor :-| bye John

Re: [linux-audio-user] samplecat

by Tim Orford

>and since im such a big fan of sqlite... why did you choose mysql? >uninstalled that long ago, but still keep sqlite around beacuse things >like firefox 3.0 require it.. i use and like mysql. in retrospect it might have been better to use gnome-db to support multiple databases... samplcat was just a little sideproject, so i'm not spending any time on it at the moment, but I may get round to adding more databases eventually, though it could do with some work in other areas first. -- Tim Orford
