Good sound and nice tune Marcos. Did you do the guitar sounds with
zynaddsubfx or with a guitar?

Yeah, that makes sense. However, it would be very nice to have snd as a
widget in ardour to edit single soundfiles. If you add some guile
functions in ardour to update the graphs in the multitracker waveforms
views as well, one could edit in snd (inside ardour somewhere) and
immediately see changes in the multitracker view.
A second release of the Ambisonics plugins is now available.
* Added cube (8-speaker) decoder.
* Removed conflicting port hints.

i wouldn't spend any time hoping. i spent a month or so back in
2000/2001 trying to use snd as ardour's editor. when it became clear
that it couldn't handle much more than about 8-12 tracks of playback,
while ardour itself could do 32+, all other considerations were put
aside and it was clear we had to develop our own. the other major
problem with snd is that it has no concept of regions - its model for
audio data is that its a continuous file rather than a playlist. that
pretty much ended any debate on the matter.

this is something you can hope for. we already allow per-region export,
but the workflow leaves something to be desired.

Hi,
I've just tried out linuxsampler (well, qsampler really) for the
first time, with some samples from Worra's Place.
Everything seems to work but the sound is very distorted
with every gig I've tried. Ugly nonlinear distortion, almost like
a ring modulator. Not at all subtle. It happens even if I play
a single note at low velocity. Doesn't sound like xrun choppiness,
and no other apps on this box make similar sounds.
I'm using ALSA output, no Jack.
Version info:
libgig 2.0.1
liblscp 0.3.0
qsampler 0.1.2
LinuxSampler 0.3.3
Anybody encountered this? Any clues?

I'm going to be working on a site with a couple other people to be a
central website for us to swap music files (not songs, just samples,
presets, patches, etc).
Here is the current list of filetypes that I want to support on this
site, but I am asking for you to review it, as I likely missed many
types of files we want to support:
- Audio Samples (*.wav, *.ogg, *.mp3, *.au, *.aiff)
- Gigasampler Banks (*.gig)
- SoundFonts (*.sf2)
- MIDI Samples (*.mid, *.smf)
- Seq24 Loops (*.s24)
- JSynthLib Patches (*.patchlib)
- SysEx Files (*.syx)
- Hydrogen Kits and Beats (*.h2drumkit, *.h2song)
- ZynAddSubFX Settings (*.xiz, *.xmz, *.xpz)
- JAMin Templates (*.jam)
- QjackCtl Patchbays (*.xml)
- JACK-Rack Racks (*.rack)
- AlsaModularSynth Patches (*.ams)
- amSynth Patches (*.amSynthPreset)
- QMidiArp Arpeggios (*.qma)
- QMidiRoute Routes (*.qmr)
- Om Patches (*.om)
- Pd Patches (*.pd, *.pat)
I know that the usefulness may be questionable for some of these, but I
don't want to exclude something just because a few people won't use it.
But if, for example, everyone agrees that QjackCtl or JAMin files are
useless to share, then we can remove them.
Also, my goal is that all files uploaded can be used for any purpose,
short of someone collecting them and selling them... So you could take
any samples or loops I upload and use them in any way you like, to
create songs of your own for your new hit album, or to modify them and
remix them and send them back to the site for everyone else to share. Is
there anyone who disagrees with such a disclaimer/license for the site
content? Obviously you can't upload work that someone else did under a
restricted license, so we won't see the Titanic SoundFont uploaded or
something like that.
Is there any particular feature you would want on the site that we might
not have already though of? We do not want articles posted there, nor a
wiki, or anything like that. This will be strictly a file-swap site, but
features to make it funner/easier/better/unique would be welcome
suggestions (no promises that we can or will implement anything).
Thanks in advance for any feedback. Feel free to email me off-list if
you or others on the list prefer. I don't mind. :)
Also, if anyone is interested in being staff on the site, please let me
know. Basically, at this time, the only thing a staff member will do is
check uploads and flag anything that is malicious so it is hidden. If
you don't want to commit to it, then don't volunteer. We will do our
best to filter out that kind of crud without human intervention, but it
may be necessary anyhow.

Does anyone out there have Skype working with an emu10k1 (specifically
Audigy2 ZS)?
I just installed it, plugged my headset into the front panel Headphones
and Line2/Mic2 jack, and called the echo service. I can hear my voice
OK but the other end sounds TERRIBLE, full of pops and clicks.
Is Skype for Linux really such a piece of crap, that it won't work with
one of the best supported devices?

Hello there,
Some of you may know me, I have posted in the past but have not had much
time to devote to FOSS music lately. I hope to find more time soon -
catching up on all the LAU mails is going to take quite a while. I have
a couple of questions. I guess the easiest way to reply would be to
alter the subject heading to reflect the question number. Then threads
can be kept seperate, and on topic.
1. Is there anywhere non programmers can suggest an application to be
developed? I am sure there are many non programmers with great ideas
lurking on this list.
2. Sometime ago I registered opensourcemusic.info. It is very out of
date, and a bit shabby really. I was hoping to turn it into a simple
listings site for newbies. Perhaps have LAA mails autoposted. Anyone
have any ideas what to do with it?
3. I have been chatting with Gianluca who runs openjay about the idea of
putting together a little award or prize for the LAU community. Perhaps
for the years best project or individual. It wouldnt be too difficult to
set up a poll which people can suggest a project/person and vote on it.
I am unemployed at the moment, but happy to contribute some funds. I am
sure many others would be. It is another oppurtunity to give something
back. What do you think?
4. This may be a little off topic. In fact it is, but I hope it is of
interest to people here. Apologies if not. Recently the Guardian
newspaper in the UK has started a campaign to make govt collected
information freely available. However, there approach is only free as in
beer, not also free as in speech. I have been blogging about this for a
while now and would appreciate some comments and support. You can read
about it all here http://www.midfieldmaestro.com/?p=121 .
Thanks for you time reading this, the wonderful software and the amazing
music posted. It makes catching up mails a pleasure :)
Regards,
John

Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor SND.
Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want
to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve
as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up.
The biggest thing about this release of Snd-ls is probably that the
rt-player is enabled by default. The rt-player is an alternative player
engine for SND that plays soundfiles using the rt-extension and reads data
from disk through a buffer. The result is less clicks, and more channels
can be played safely at once.
Changes 0.9.5.5 -> 0.9.6.2
--------------------------
-Moved the dac size slider into the options menu.
-Hide listener on startup.
-Removed marks stuff from popup menu. (Incompatible with snd_conffile.scm)
-Updated Snd from 8.0/30.3 to 8.0/2.4. Many important fixes, including
listener stuff.
-Removed playing buttons from pop-up menues.
-Added checks for gtk-mnemnomnics so that old key-bindings aren't
overwritten.
-Many fixes for the rt-player.
-Various fixes so that debug printing and warnings/errors are put out to
the listener as well as stdout/stderr.
-Configured the transform view to show sonograms by default.
-Increased standard dac-size from 1024 to 2048.
-Added shortcut "l" to turn on/off the listener, and added it to the
help menu along with the "c" key for turning on/off controls.
-Updated Snd from 7.15 to 8.0.
-Enabled rt-player by default. rt-player is an alternative player engine
for snd, that plays using the rt-extension and reads data from disk
through a ringbuffer. The result is less clicks.
Folks:
Freewheeling 0.5.2 ("The Patch Browser Upgrade") is now available.
http://freewheeling.sourceforge.net/
You can now browse patches for external synths and plugins right from inside
Freewheeling. Bank and program changes are sent via MIDI, and MIDI output
ports are switched as needed.
Other work (play!) is going on under the surface of development. For example,
I am working on Elastin, an efficient time and pitch stretching library that
will integrate tightly with Freewheeling, allowing you to do wonderful things
in real-time with your loops. First prototype is already complete.
I've also been experimenting with networked jams. Currently I am plugging into
Ninjam sessions and adding some loop-based jamming to the mix. Time stays
syncronized via the Jack transport. People seem to dig the stability that the
loops offer.
Enjoy,
-Mercury
---------
ChangeLog:
2006-05-13 v0.5.2
The Patch Browser Upgrade
New Features
------------
* Integrated patch browsers for external audio apps
* Bank and program changes are now sent based on the patches
you define
* MIDI outputs are now switched as part of the integrated
patch browser
* Automatic patch list generation for DSSI softsynths
Detail:
The Fluidsynth patch browser has been expanded to provide
patch browsing for external synths/apps.
You can define your patches (MIDI port, channel, bank, program,
and name) in external XML patch files.
All your patches, internal and external, now appear in the
patch browser. The browser now has several pages,
one for each MIDI port and channel for which you have defined
patches. Therefore, if you have Hexter on channel 1 of MIDI
output 1, and WhySynth on channel 2 of MIDI output 1, you can
independently browse your Hexter and WhySynth patches right from
within Freewheeling.
Freewheeling sends the right bank and program changes out the
right MIDI port based on your patch definitions. It also echoes
your MIDI events to the right place, so that you can switch
one keyboard between several softsynths.
When you have the patch browser selected, you can use the
left/right arrow keys to switch between browser sections.
This causes your incoming MIDI events to be switched from
one port to another- as defined in your ~/.fweelin.rc and
patch XML files. This way, you can quickly
switch between softsynths without leaving Freewheeling's
interface.
To use this feature, please read 'examples/readme.txt' for setup
info.
I will likely be expanding this to include 'combi' type
actions where you can custom configure your MIDI signal to be
sent to several softsynths. Then you could, for example,
play Hexter with your left hand and Linuxsampler with your
right hand.
* Configuration files now live in ~/.fweelin/
~/.fweelin.rc will be moved to ~/.fweelin/.fweelin.rc
when you start version 0.5.2.
Fixes
-----
* Fixed startup segfault when running without integrated
FluidSynth
