[linux-audio-user] Qsynth and .sf2 drum kits

by Esa Linna

Hello, I am successfully banging my midi drum pads* ( via Qsampler (and NSkit7Free .gig). At first I didn't know how to get a right sound from every pad, but I found that I had to change Midi input channels as "all" in Qsampler. Maybe I have to do same for Qsynth. But how? Or do these soundfonts work "straight out of the box" at all, like NSKit7Free? And another question: is there a way to convert sf2 to gig? * my midi drums = http://www.emvg.net/esa/garage/img017.jpeg -- ----------------------- http://www.emvg.net/esa http://www.emvg.net -----------------------

[linux-audio-user] PAM rlimits patched at seite9.de down

by Ismael Valladolid Torres

PAM with patches for rlimits packaged for Debian used to be available [1]here. But the site's been down for weeks. Do this mean that rlimits aware PAM has reached Etch? If they haven't, are patched packages available anywhere else? 1. http://seite9.de/~burkhard/pam_debian_rlimits/ Cordially, Ismael -- Ismael Valladolid Torres http://lamediahostia.blogspot.com/ m. +34679156321 http://www.flickr.com/photos/ivalladt j. ivalladt(a)jabberes.org

Hebrew support is more than Unicode--Hebrew and Arabic are right-to-left languages. German, French, etc, do not require unicode to work. The Japanese will argue the point. If I knew enough computereze in Hebrew, I would love to do the translation. However, I cannot read Hebrew computer stuff so well myself. My daughter (remember, we are talking about stuff for kids) does not read English computer stuff so well. Her KDE and locale is Hebrew. Mine is English.

[linux-audio-user] Focusrite Saffire LE vs. Presonus Firebox

by Mathias Friman

Hi list. I'm looking to buy some firewire sound card, and I have got a very good price on a Focusrite Saffire LE, but it says on the Freebob website about the Saffire: "FireWire Interface with DSP - DSP and mixer not supported by FreeBob". What does this mean practically? On Focusrite's website it says about the LE: "Although only the original Saffire has onboard DSP.." which should mean that the LE has not. Which are the pros and cons compared to the Presonus Firebox which I can obtain for a marginally higher price? Is the Focusrite Saffire LE even fully workable under Linux? If "mixer" means the included control software for Windows, what possibilities for controlling the device exists? And is the support for the Firebox sufficient, or should I go for something completely different in the same or even lower pricerange? I'm thinking of even buying a Presonus Firepod if I can get it at a good price, is this something that is 100% supported, or are there still things that need to be fixed? Regards, Mathias

[linux-audio-user] CLAM 0.95 src

by Andrew Gaydenko

There was an announce about new CLAM version (http://clam.iua.upf.edu/). The project is GPL-ed, but I have not found new sources. This ref http://clam.iua.upf.edu/download/src/ has old version(s) only. Have I missed something?

[linux-audio-user] [OT] kororaa report

by Dubphil

Hello, as this is quite a gentoo specific post, I have marked it as off topic, but it should be interesting for others. So I have tried the kororaa installation. The install on itself is very easy, it looks like a debian install and it tooks less than 1 hour to have a fully functionnal but outdated Gentoo system. Alsaconf is used to detect the audio hardware, so my USB cards was not detected :( The kernel provided is quite old : 2.6.14 The install is using prebuild packages, but updating a package switch emerge to use the compilation way. After the installation, we have an outdated system, and here begin a nightmare that would totally disgusting any newcommers to the Gentoo system. The kororaa mainteners have masked or unmasked tons of packages, so the emerge world needs a lot of masking and unmasking work to be launched properly. In short, the upgrade process is directly broken. So to conclude, I would advise newcommers to Gentoo to use the traditionnal way of installing gentoo even if it takes 1 day and needs to use the command line. Regards Philippe

[linux-audio-user] Axiom 25 keyboard

by lanas

Folks, To complete my base audio setup I got a M-Audio Axiom 25 keyboard. The small size makes it easy to fiddle (no pun) around with apps using both the machine keyboard and this music keyboard at the same desk, without moving the chair. Getting it out of the box I noticed the paper about setting it up on Windows. About 10 steps in small print. Sheesh. And then me with Linux. Was I looking at a yet 3-day installfest ? Fortunately, not. I plugged the USB cable of the thing, started Jack, et voilá, it simply appeared and was ready to be connected to Zyn. One funny thing to add on this is that the Axiom documentation (which has nothing on Linux) troubleshooting section mentions that it can be that the keyboard at one point eventually stops working. In that case it is said that Windows users should re-install the driver. Well, you know, I still have to see the day when a Linux kernel module that is perfectly working stops to do so ! On with the question. I'd like to use the rotary knobs for interesting things such as changing some of the so many parameters of the Zyn synth. Is this possible ? Is it possible with another synth ? Anyone out there using those Axiom rotary knobs in creative ways ? And, is it possible to use the play/stop/backward/forward buttons with Ardour or MuSE ? Cheers, Al

[linux-audio-user] Adjusting a midi track's tempo?

by Mike Taht

I have a bunch of stuff I just recorded that has potential. Problem was that I wasn't paying attention to the tempo set in rosegarden while I was recording it (and it was set at a variety of different tempos, anyway). Is there a way (using some linux tool) to select two obvious bar boundries in a midi file, and have it recalculate the actual tempo of the file from that? Been having a blast bloggin on getting ardour2, linuxsampler, rosegarden and hydrogen to play together. Discovered that all that stuff ran over X client/server just fine, and that freed up enough memory to actually get some serious production done. -- Mike Taht PostCards From the Bleeding Edge http://the-edge.blogspot.com
