Steinway_IMIS2.2 soundfont (no loops fix)

by Roberto Gordo Saez

This is Steinway_IMIS soundfont, version 2.2. ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/sf2/Steinway_IMIS2.2 This version fixes the issue with loops. I hope this is the good one and there are no more remaining major bugs. Marcos is a little busy right now, so he asked me to make this fix. He is thinking to make other improvements, so expect more updates soon.

[linux-audio-user] Sub-harmonic generator? (LADSPA or VST)

by Tim Howard

Hello, Does anyone know of a good plugin that will generate subharmonics? I would like to put a little more low frequency "oomph" into my bass track. Preferrable LADSPA, but VST would work, too. Thanks for any help! -TimH

[ANN] TapStart 0.1 released

by Arnold Krille

Hi all, following a basic rule for open source project "publish early and often" I release the very first (but quite feature-rich) version of TapStart to the public. TapStart is a basic tempo-measurement where you tap some beats and get the (averaged) tempo displayed. But there is more to it: - TapStart also updates the jack-tempo (if a running jack was found during startup) and can even start the jack transport after a defined number of taps. This is implemented for using this thing in jam-sessions to get a click/drum-computer to play in a tempo not known before. - TapStart can also send OSC-messages with the tempo/delay-value as argument to any gives host and path. You can find more information on its page at http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/?q=TapStart ofqf (http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/?q=node/573) is needed for the osc-part and has to be installed beforehand. The direct-link to the source package is: http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/files/downloads/tapstart/tapstart-0.1.tar.gz ofqf: http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/files/downloads/ofqf/ofqf-0.1.1.tar.bz2 Have fun, Arnold -- visit http://www.arnoldarts.de/ --- Hi, I am a .signature virus.

Ardour2 + Debian (Testing)

by Josh Lawrence

I had to install Ardour2 tonight on a new Debian Testing box, but could not find Ardour in the Testing repos, so I built it from source. I thought it might be a good idea to take notes, as it might help someone else: http://www.hardbop200.com/2007/11/18/building-ardour2-on-debian-testing/ Basically this just has the apt-get stuff all written out for you. Again, hope this is helpful. -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com

Hardware synths

by lanas

Folks, OK, Linux synths are great. And yes, if many ways they are. Although recently I got a M-Audio Prokeys88 and I swear the Warmpad sound in there does not have any equivalent in richness in what I've heard so far in Linux soft synths. If you do have an close-sounding Linux soft synth sound, let me know, I'd be very interested in hearing it. That makes me tend to believe that hardware synths sounds are still leading in quality, deepness and richness. Any other opinions ? Cheers, Al

Piping to mplayer grief

by Ken Restivo

The developer of the shell-fm software just gave me a clue as to why it is so painful to try to play anything through stdin with mplayer: apparently mplayer does aggressive caching and won't start playing until it gets some large amount of input first. shell-fm has an "extern" function that'll fork off a process to play through an external player, but it won't work because mplayer is expecting to grab quite a bit of the stream. -ken

[OT] modelines ?

by Dave Phillips

Greetings, The config.xml file for AVSynthesis includes a setting for the window size : width="1280" height="1024" fullscreen="false" Alas, setting it to anything other than the current screen dimensions results in a non-start. The program simply reports that the requested screen size can't be created. From what I've learned so far, it appears that I need to set modelines for other screen dimensions. The modelines are *not* the same things as the Mode settings in the Screen section of xorg.conf, but I'm not clear on how to find what they should be or how to enter them into xorg.conf. Btw, I do have various modes set in my Screen section, but that doesn't seem to matter to AVSynthesis. I'd like to resolve this problem, because AVS saves its rendered files in the current screen size (1280x1024), and I'd like to save them in a smaller size. So once again I turn to the deep minds of LAU for assistance. Any suggestions ? The cards and monitors in question are: GeForce 7300GS with Envision EN-910e (JAD) GeForce 7600GS with Sony Trinitron E200 (64 Studio) TIA! Best, dp

Zynaddsubfx bank management

by Ismael Valladolid Torres

I don't know how to switch to a personal bank directory. File->Settings->Bank root dirs->Make default is not working here. Is the only way to work with my own banks to make... /usr/share/zynaddsubfx/banks Writable by the user running zynaddsubfx? Any ideas welcome.
