Well, I still haven't got a decent sound card sorted out but I have discovered I can make quite presentable mp3 recordings with my iRiver H340 :) so I've put another couple of pieces on my website. Raspberry Jam is just a bit of nonsense where I sort of set up a rhythm then deliberately played some rather outlandish bits on top that sort of stagger around only just managing to stay sensibly in time and key. Ghost Train is one of my favourites (so please be gentle with it) and was developed from an interesting sounding chord progression. Everything else just seemed to fit somehow. As a point of interest, I was very poor when I first laid these tracks down and only had a single port MIDI interface. My way round the problem was to set the SY22 I then had to only use tracks 1-8 and the Sound Canvas to tracks 9-16. With care I found I could actually get far more than 16 instruments in a running piece by sending SYSEX to whichever instrument was not currently sounding. -- F

[linux-audio-user] Free Software vs. Open Source: What could be read

by Frank Barknecht

Hallo, breaking up the monster thread here are some texts from Mute magazine regarding copyright and piracy and open source and why it's not as easy b/w as some may think: Copy That Floppy! The Pirate Bay, a tracker website based in Sweden, has become the most popular BitTorrent site in the world and now receives more daily hits than CNN. The Pirat Byran (Pirate Association) is its sister organisation, and promotes information piracy and its culture through discussions, media advocacy and legal advice. Mute talked to Palle Torsson of Pirat Byran about filesharing culture in Sweden and the 'grey commons http://www.metamute.org/en/node/5599 Change of the Century: Free Software and the Positive Possibility The much touted 'freedoms' of FLOSS are coming under increasing scrutiny as they are applied to contexts beyond their original formation. Is 'freedom as in speech' enough or are there other freedoms upon which the construction of the commons depends' Martin Hardie has worked extensively on an archeology of how the GNU/Linux operating system was developed, exposing the myths that are at its foundation. Here, he asks how the licensing of FLOSS operates within the constitution of Empire and locates in the new forms of 'producing in common' the means to reverse the proliferation of alternative law and instead affirm a true alternative to law. http://www.metamute.org/en/node/7053 Charters of Liberty in Black Face and White Face: Race, Slavery and the Commons The Magna Carta is renowned as the 'Charter of Liberty' which inspired modern constitutional safeguards against the power of the State. But its smaller companion, the Charter of the Forest, enshrining the customary rights of the commoners to land and resources, has been overlooked. Cutting between the political struggles of the early 1970s and the 1720s, Peter Linebaugh shows how the struggle against enclosures in the woods of England is inextricably linked with the struggle against slavery in the Atlantic http://www.metamute.org/en/node/5602 No further comments, have fun, -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__

[linux-audio-user] Maturing of Linux Music Software

by David Baron

After compling the latest Rosegarden and compiling the kernel to go with it (1000hz hw frequency), I am very pleased with the Rosegarden. This one is just about ready to play. What is needed now is interoperability. Many of us who are going over to Linux are coming from other OSes. We have loads of data for Cakewalk, Steinberg and Protools and would need to get it into Rosegarden, Muse, Ardour, etc. No way Jose right now. If paid software publishers would realize that interoperability and freedom of choice will not hurt their sales and possibly improve them, we would not need to reverse engineer to get it but right now, that's it. Sonar files consist of a stereo audio and mono audio catchalls and the main file with MIDI data, track properities and pointers to the two audio files and MIDI data (or all this bundled together). Should be not too difficult to hack, but still ... My Jammer Pro and Ntonyx software to produce the MIDIs is Windows only and is not going using Wine. Still no ALSA support for my Dman2044 either. Someday.

Yup, only win98 available.

Actually, this card uses the es1968 interface chip (and is auto-detected as such) but instead of the ac97 codex, it has two crystal 4242 chips. There used to be a snd-pdplus for those. I looked at the sources and could not really figure out what to do with them, assuming simply replacing ac97 calls with crystal ones with code borrowed from pdplux would get one set working.

[linux-audio-user] Compiling latest and greatest muse (still problems)

So I got rid of the one in kdedir/include >(soniK's). Problem is in the order includes are searched. The local one >should take priority, it would seem :-) I also had to add an #include to one of the c++ files and then everything compiled! However, the link did not find the libsndfile. It may be that I need more than just -llibsndfile to get it. If someone has a .../lib/pkgconfig/libsndfile.pc that works, maybe post or send it. Also similar items needed for fst? Thanks.

[linux-audio-user] ardour zipper / buffer noise ua 25

by Greg

Dearest List, I'm trying to record in ardour on demudi 1.2.1. When I try to record I get this zipperish noise. it sounds to me like some sort of buffer noise. I am using a UA 25, full duplex 24 bit 44.1khz I played around with jack settings a little bit but i'm not sure if that's what i'm trying to tweak or something else.

[linux-audio-user] Compiling latest and greatest muse, continued (solved?)

by David Baron

>3. Finally dies in muse's citem.cpp with undefined selected, setselected >methods in class Part. (from soniK) Muse has its own Part class. So I got rid of the one in kdedir/include (soniK's). Problem is in the order includes are searched. The local one should take priority, it would seem :-)

1. Configure does not "find" fst. Fst1.6 would not compile. I got fst1.7 and this compiled but the make has no install. I suppose I could place the resultant .so somewhere and make my own pkconfig file for it. This is how I got it to "find" libsndfile which lacked such a file :-) 2. All kinds of missing .h files in $KDEDIR/include !!. These are all in sonik so I copied them to there. 3. Finally dies in muse's citem.cpp with undefined selected, setselected methods in class Part.

[linux-audio-user] Hydrogen multilayer samples support could be improved

by Cesare Marilungo

I believe that the support for multilayered samples in Hydrogen could be implemented in a better way. When I hit a note which has multiple layers Hydrogen should blend the two samples above and below the velocity value, instead of just playing the sample below at a bigger amplitube. As it is now, subtle velocity variatons produce a totally different sound. I know this list is read by some Hydrogen developers. Could you implement this feature? c. -- www.cesaremarilungo.com

[linux-audio-user] Synthing drum sounds

by Carlo Capocasa

Hi, I'd like to synth some good, hard drum sounds from scratch, maybe with Zyn. Something like really heavy kicks and these whip-like THWACK snares you hear when things get a little funkier. I'm pretty clueless. Can you help? Carlo
