I think that the stability problems people have been having are due to Zyn taking too much CPU time by playing too many notes at once, and thus getting disconnected from jack. If there was a way to restrict polyphony I dont think this would be a problem any more. I mentioned this on the Zyn list a while back.

[linux-audio-user] Fractal Music for Linux

by Chip VanDan

I've been contemplating returning to some old projects however my recent switch to the Linux platform has made it slightly difficult. I used to mess around with fractal music in Windows but I seem to be having trouble finding anything for Linux along the same lines. I found one site that recommended using Cecilia, however I am not a programmer, I'm not all too familiar with Cecilia, and I don't know fractals inside and out yet to be able to create my own algorithms. It seems the software on windows was always freeware but I can't seem to find anything that has been ported to Linux. That and most of the sites seem to have gone down long ago. Is fractal music an abandoned theory or is there still research going on behind closed doors? Most importantly are there any generators available for Linux?

[linux-audio-user] sync problem with RME MADI

by Daniele Torelli

Hi everybody I have a strange problem with a RME MADI card, the annoying fact is that *one* time I managed to make it work properly and I really didn't understand how, so I'm completely going crazy because I know there is one solution. So.. I have the card connected with the ADI-648 interface, the problem is that: - every audio program on the machine seems to have a wrong timing, for example Ardour and Alsaplayer show that one second passed about every two real seconds. On alsaplayer I can hear something "correct" only if I put the playing speed to 180%. - the "sync" led on the ADI-648 ("input state" secion) starts blinking (that means there is something wrong) when ALSA starts, and never stops. *Never*. I can unload all the snd modules. I can kill every process but the essentials and reboot the ADI-648. Nothing. It stops blinking only when I halt the machine. yesterday, suddenly, the led stopped and everything started to work properly. But I really didn't understand why, I was trying almost everything and the solution went lost (at the reboot everything was wrong as before). Any idea about this? ("buy another brain" could be a good idea but...:)) regards, -- Daniele Torelli ------------------------------------------------------------ Free Electronic Music - www.danieletorelli.net - www.yue.it ---------- http://freelectronicmusic.splinder.com ----------

[linux-audio-user] Re: E17 - our choice of WM in the future?

by David Baron

Looks really, really exciting! Note the Dynebolic uses neither KDE no Gnome which are simply too heavy. I would like to give this a try. KDM logon will let one choose "other" window managers. Question of installing yet another is disk space available and: 1. Can one run KDE or Gnome apps on it. These two have become more interoperable. Various Gnome apps run on KDE. I can live without Konqueror--Opera is much quicker. I suppose KMail could be replaced. I use KPackage regularly for upgrading and cannot stand Aptitude. That leaves a few KDE games. Do not have to remove KDE in any event if I have enough space. 2. Compatability with various video cards. NVidia? This stuff should be taken care of through the kernel and Xorg but there have been problems around. 3. Compatablity with kernels? KDE is very nice but much to heavy. E17 certain looks like an interesting "present" :-) > Hello list! > > What would you say about the future of Linux audio > workstations?

[linux-audio-user] Promenade (old music, new bottle)

Greetings: I took a tip from Lars Luthman and posted this piece to the Internet Archive : http://www.archive.org/details/PromenadeForEPiano It's a very old piece, another one written for my TX802 E Piano, and here realized via ZynAddSubFX. Simple music, but I hope you enjoy it. Best, dp

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] FreeBoB 1.0 released - Firewire Audio for Linux

by Pieter Palmers

Greetings, Now that JACK 0.102.20 and QJackCtl 0.2.21 being released, the FreeBoB team is proud to present libfreebob 1.0. The FreeBoB project aims to provide a generic solution for using Firewire (semi-)pro-audio devices in Linux. This release provides support for the devices based on the BridgeCo DM1000 or DM1500 chipset that are running the BeBoB firmware. For a list of supported devices, consult our website at freebob.sf.net. FreeBoB currently provides an interface library that allows firewire audio devices to be used with the JACK audio server, using a dedicated backend. This backend is included in the official JACK releases, from this version on (i.e. 0.102.20). The latest version of QJackCtl also includes support for this FreeBoB backend. MIDI support is provided through ALSA sequencer. Feature list: * Automatic detection & configuration of devices. If there are multiple devices attached to the same firewire bus, freebob merges them into one big device. The devices have to be synced externally (wordclock/spdif) so that they don't drift. Note that this release cannot setup the boxes to be synced yet, being synced is a precondition at the moment. (I tested this with 2 phase88's connected with wordclock, and this works without the need for any special setting because the Phase88 automatically chooses wordclock slave when there is a wordclock signal present. This can be different for other models). * Audio I/O on all analog channels at all sample rates supported by the device. SPDIF/ADAT I/O works in most cases (when presented as analog IO by the device). AC3 passthrough doesn't work. * Midi I/O for all midi ports the device implements, using alsa-sequencer * Round-trip latency figures around 5ms (depends on system configuration). 10ms is achievable on all well-configured machines Not supported yet: * Hardware mixing ("zero latency" mixer) * Device-specific configuration (input gain switches, sync source selection, midi control mappings, ...) * ALSA for audio IO * Special SPDIF/ADAT stream support You can download FreeBoB 1.0 at our sourceforge page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=117802 more info at freebob.sf.net What's next? We are working on the second generation of the FreeBoB codebase. The 1.0 release is the endpoint for the codebase that dates back to the start of the project. The 2.0 codebase is a complete redesign of the system using 1.0 as a 'golden spec'. While the 1.0 version is BeBoB-only, the 2.0 codebase is designed as a framework to support all firewire based audio boxes. The current level of functionality is almost the same for both codebases. The main difference is that 1.0 had one year of testing and 2.0 doesn't, it's still in the alpha stage. Needless to say that 2.0 will outperform 1.0 by far ;). Of course this redesign isn't for the sake of aesthetic beauty or lack of things to do... I can announce that we are already working on broadening the supported device list. Currently there is support for the Motu Traveller and the Motu 828 (through reverse engineering). There are also contacts with the DICE-II developers to implement generic support for devices based upon their chipset. As an extra, support for Metric Halo devices is also in the pipeline. Once all of these devices are supported, we will cover a very large part of the Firewire audio device spectrum. The most important void will be RME Fireface support, and for the real budget users: Behringer and Hercules devices. That's all folks! Pieter Palmers (on behalf of the FreeBoB team)

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] Simple Sysexxer 0.1.1

by Christoph Eckert

Hi all, first my apologies for cross-posting (TM) :) . This is a wee small bugfix release of Simple Sysexxer. It now should build without needing Qt debug libs installed. As I didn't get any feedback since the first release (neither success stories nor complaints), I'd like to encourage anyone to send feedback or bug reports. Simple Sysexxer is a tool to exchange sysex data with MIDI devices, e.g. to do backups of the device's memory contents or to send presets loaded from the web. Advantages: * (Hopefully) easy to use graphical user interface * True ALSA sequencer support * Built using Qt, no KDE dependency at all * Minor changes to the source should make it run on Mac OS X or even Windows Disadvantages: * Requires Qt4 and will *not* build against Qt3 * No JACK MIDI support :) * No OSS support * No prebuilt binaries available Information and source download: http://www.christeck.de Enjoy, ce
