I can connect Hydrogen's out_L and out_R to freebob's dev1p_lineOut L and R now, and can run jack. It looks like everything is running but I don't hear any sound coming out of the M-Audio FireWire Solo. In my M-Audio manual, I see a software mixer that allows you to bring levels up and down and mute. I wonder if my soundcared output is just muted? freebob doesn't use alsa, so I can't use alsamixer. What is my alternative?

[linux-audio-user] Musix GNU/Linux 0.50, released!

by Marcos Guglielmetti

=Musix 0.50 released!= Thanks to the support of the Ututo Proyect, FSF, Ourproject, and to the usual collaborators, the Musix project has just released Musix 0.50, whose programs were tested for over 1 month, time that allowed us to solve some problems over Musix 0.49, and to make the more relevant software updates. Musix 0.50 can be consider the more stable and functional Musix version until now, also, 0.50 can update old Musix versions, as instance Musix 0.40 could be updated without re-install all the system. Musix counts with its own software package repository that has been growing. It is hoped to incorporate new software nonavailable in Debian, like mplayer or cinelerra (video edition), or Wired. The Musix project has offered several speeches in different institutions during 2005 and 2006, affirming the commitment with the diffusion of free software among musicians, sound engineers and users in general. Important programs/packages updated * Knoppix-installer was updated (taking parts from Knoppix 5.0.1): Now you can update a single package or a group of packages from your actual Musix installed on HD. As instance, you can upgrade Musix 0.40 to 0.50 without re-install the system. * Rosegarden4 1.2.3 should work ok (record audio without crashing). The problem was in an old .rg file. * Installed: linux-image-2.6.16-1-multimedia-486 from 64studio, Removed kernel-image-2.6.13-1-multimedia-386 from aGNUla/DeMuDi * Gparted installed: it's more updated than qtparted, qtparted was removed. Now the installation process should be better. ==050 New programs/packages installed== * Added better support for desktop in German and Portuguese languages (deb package created with files for icewm and rox-filer). * Traverso 0.30 (A multitrack audio recorder/editor) * Terminatorx 3.82 installed (terminatorX is a realtime audio synthesizer that allows you to "scratch" on digitally sampled audio data). * Created and installed a package with firmware GPL for devices MIDISport/Midiman USB 1x1, 2x2, 4x4, 8x8 y USB-2-MIDI (Steinberg) https://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php/EZ-USB * Installed: clearlook theme for GTK2 (Clearlooks GTK+ 2.x engine and theme) and KDE (Clone of GNOME's Clearlooks theme for KDE) * Grubconf was installed (it has a bug) * Icecast was installed (Ogg Vorbis and MP3 streaming media server) ==Others changes== * Improved Video hardware detection * Musix can be installed on Serial ATA hard disks * Added a text console menu created by Francisco Tufro, it also lets you change the video settings, read the User's Manual, and other tasks. * New wallpapers * The system name (Musix GNU/Linux) was corrected into the GRUB boot menu * Added new script for audio card configuration for testing: /etc/init.d/alsasound (apparently it works only with udev). It does not yet participates in the boot process. * The behavior to access to the Admin desktop was changed (stills needs other modifications) * Created "KDE-to-Rox" desktop, which takes icons in kdesktop (of the KDE desktop in ~/Desktop) and transfers them to the desktop using Rox-Filer. Besides, the "complete" KDE desktop can even be initiated from there. * Removed residual configuration files ==Solved problems== Generally speaking, this problems has been solved: * Solved Portuguese keyboard bug in text console? (ln -s /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/pt-latin1.kmap.gz /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/pt.kmap.gz) * Bug fixes into rosegarden+* scripts * KDM (desktop manager) takes too long to launch, solved * After updated GTK, some desktop icons disappear, solved * After the installation, the system reboots Ok ==Known problems in Musix 0.50== * Translation to french, italian and german languages needs more work. * Apparently, the 'bootfrom=' boot parameter ("cheatcode") does not work from the 2.6.16-beyond4.1 kernel. * In some PCs there is a problem with the network configuration that this scrip performs: /etc/init.d/networking A modified script ( /etc/init.d/networking-fix ) was added so that the ones who have this problem can solve it easily. ==Next version, Musix 0.59== * Hundreds of software packages will be updated * ... maybe squashfs will be used into the live-cd (more space to include more software) * a DVD version could be a nice idea :-D -- Marcos Guglielmetti * Director del desarrollo de Musix GNU+Linux, 100% Software Libre * CD Donwload: (http://www.musix.org.ar/en/) (www.pc-musica.com.ar/musix) * Videos, programas y otras cosas en: ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/ * Reporte de errores a: https://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php?title=Problemas-Bugs *IRC: #musix channel on freenode

[linux-audio-user] simple jack_player?

by Julien Claassen

Hi all! I'm looking for a VERY simple jack_paleyr. Perhaps something like aplay only for jack. What I want to do is: Get input from a pipe and then just play it through jack. Rate conversion might be a nice feature, yet I could live without it. Any suggestions are warmly welcome! Kindest regards Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net - the Linux TextBased Studio guide

[linux-audio-user] freebob port names

by Devin Venable

I can't seem to get any jack clients to connect freebob-enabled-jackd, but I have managed to make a little progress. I built Hydrogen from source, and when it now tries to connect, I do see the attempt in qjackctl's Messages window. I get this: 00:39:40.097 MIDI connection graph change. unknown destination port in attempted connection [alsa_pcm:playback_1] In fact, I've seen this error when trying to connect other jack clients. My freebob port names: registered port freebob_pcm:dev1c_SpdifIn L, offset = 2048 registered port freebob_pcm:dev1c_SpdifIn R, offset = 4096 registered port freebob_pcm:dev1c_LineIn L, offset = 6144 registered port freebob_pcm:dev1c_LineIn R, offset = 8192 registered port freebob_pcm:dev1p_SpdifOut L, offset = 0 registered port freebob_pcm:dev1p_SpdifOut R, offset = 0 registered port freebob_pcm:dev1p_LineOut L, offset = 0 registered port freebob_pcm:dev1p_LineOut R, offset = 0 Is there a configuration file somewhere that is picking up alsa_pcm:placyback_1? Or is that just a default name that is expected to exist. It does not when I run jackd using the freebob driver.

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] bcx2000edit: Editor for BCR2000/BCF2000

by Pieter Palmers

Hi all, I had to familiarize myself with python for work, and I took it as an opportunity to hack on something I've want for some time now. I have these behringer control surfaces, and they are pretty cool, but there is no editor for them on linux. And using the device interface itself is a little cumbersome. So I figured out the sysex format (the patch dump format from "edit + >") and wrote a parser for it in python. I also have a small PyQt inteface (had to learn that too) that allows you to load files, change the values and save them as a new file. Note that this is very basic & non-bugfree software. No checking whatsoever is performed on the sysex files, so if your control surface displays "ERR" when you send a sysex file, you're probably violating the format. The GUI is also limited to changes on existing files only. I put this code online because I think it might be a nice starting point for somebody that want's to write a real editor. It shouln't be that hard (mostly GUI design), and they can use this code to further explore the sysex format. I'm not planning to work on this any further because (1) it serves my needs and (2) I need my time for other projects (most notably freebob). Anyway, you can find the code here: http://freebob.sourceforge.net/old/bcx2000edit.tar.gz Let me know if you start something with it. Greets, Pieter
