[linux-audio-user] [ANN] ALSA MIDI Humanizer v0.0.2

by Cesare Marilungo

Now you can choose between linear (uniform) and gaussian (normal) distribution both for timing and velocity. Needs testing. :-) http://www.cesaremarilungo.com/sw/alsamidihumanizer.php c. -- www.cesaremarilungo.com

[linux-audio-user] AMD64 question

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: Not long ago I mentioned that a student had traded an MSI mobo (socket 939) for some lessons. I'm ready to start building a system around that board, and I have some questions for this list: 1) I can get a new AMD64 Athlon 3800 2.4 GHz for (US) $145. Is the Athlon 64 a good chip for audio work, and is that a good price ? It's the best listed on Pricewatch. 2) Recommended case/power supply ? 3) The MSI box says it includes an nVidia nForce3 chipset, which I assume means that there's an audio/video chipset on the mobo. I'll probably disable the audio, and I have a gForce AGP video card to put in the machine. Question: Am I better off using the integrated video or should I use my card instead ? (Btw, I use the kernel nv driver, not nVidia's binary driver). 4) I assume I'll have to buy new RAM. What should I buy ? 5) The CPU includes a fan, but should I get something more powerful ? 6) How can I best reduce the noise from this system ? 7) Am I correct to assume that this system runs in a 32-bit more as well as the 64-bit ? How do I determine which mode I'll run in ? This system will replace my ancient desktop machine, so also I need to know if there are any precautions or warnings re: running Linux audio software on it. The distro of choice will be Debian Etch a la Demudi 1.3.0. Sorry for all the questions, I'm completely new to the 64-bit game. As always, any & all advice will be vastly appreciated. :) Best regards, dp

Is anyone else having problems accessing this website? I can get to the home page OK, but most of the links fail with 'access denied' using firefox 1.5. I rather wanted to download the iso to give it a try :( -- Will J G

[linux-audio-user] aseqjoy - modulation and pitch?

by DCZX

I have a basic midi keyboard with no modulation or pitch bend wheels. I downloaded and compiled aseqjoy and was hoping to set up my x axis on my joystick as modulation and the y as pitch. However, I have no idea where to start doing this. Does anyone have an idea of where to start? thank you __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[linux-audio-user] Intel HDA and Jack

by I. E. Smith-Heisters

Hi all, I'm having problems with my Intel HD Audio chipset and jack, and was wondering if any of you might have some tips. I'm running Ubuntu Dapper, and everything works fine out of the box. ESD works, aplay works, etc.. When I start jackd the xruns fly by about as fast as they can. If I start it with RT enabled, it just times out and crashes. I've experimented with lots of different flags, but this is an example: jackd -dhw:0 -p256 -r48000 -n2 Of course, the snd-hda-intel module is loaded, or basic alsa stuff wouldn't work. Also, I've been sure to start in fluxbox and do a 'ps ax' just to be sure no other audio apps were interfering with device. I've never run into this sort of thing before, where jackd won't work, but aplay will. Any suggestions for troubleshooting? Thanks, Ian Smith-Heisters -- http://0x09.com

You are more than welcome to apply for membership at any time. However, the new members announcements happen on a more or less bimonthly basis simply for the sake of minimizing administrative overhead. Hope this helps!

Re: [linux-audio-user] XOWave cannot access any audio devices

by David Baron

> > Problems about sample rates but no way to set them. > > > > Anyone succeded with this? > > You don't give nearly enough information to debug whatever problem you > have alluded to. I got it working by giving audio group permissions to /dev/dsp. It will not (directly) access the listed alsa devices (a bunch of them including the actual audio card). The program will jacklaunch, lists jack clients but will not play through them.

[linux-audio-user] some ALSA questions

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I'm preparing a final draft of an article re: ALSA and I started wondering about whatever happened to modules.conf. In my old RH9 (2.4 kernel) I was able to freely manipulate the ALSA modules (designate for loading, reorder, set alias, etc) via /etc/modules.conf. Things have changed a lot in 2.6.x, and /etc/modules.conf is apparently not to be edited in Ye Olden Way. Is there a similar single file in the 2.6 file system ? If so, where is it ? On my Debian Etch system I have this file : /etc/modprobe.d/sound It looks like the file to change a la the old-time modules.conf, but my entries have no effect. Is there another file located elsewhere that I should be editing ? Here's my /etc/modprobe.d/sound : alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712 options snd-ice1712 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-emu10k1 options snd-emu10k1 index=1 alias snd-card-2 snd-virmidi options snd-virmidi index=2 Also, what's the status of a user-friendly ALSA control and operations panel that might address such matters as ordering multiple soundcards, write/edit .asoundrc, start/stop ALSA services, etc. ? Is the ALSA development group pursuing anything like that ? Best, dp
