I don't think it's in the stable version yet, but it is in 0.9.4-svn which I built a few days ago. Actually someone had told me about this before but I couldn't find it until just now. -- Robert Persson ireneshusband(a)gmail.com

Software or performance?

by Folderol

For those who don't know, for some time I've made available all the voice patches I've created for ZynAddSubFX. However, for the first time I've been asked what license they are under, which presents a curious problem. Would these be best regarded as 'software'? - in which case I'd go for GPL2 or later, or are they more like a 'performance'? - where I would then go for creative commons BY-SA I'd be interested in peoples opinions. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk

Midi problems with audiophile 2496

by Bob van der Poel

Looking for some suggestions here. I've had a Maudio 2496 card for a few years. Works fine for audio, but if I use an the external midi ports it cause random freezes to my system. Only solution at this point is to hit the <RESET> button. Not much fun. Right now I'm using Ubuntu with the 2.6.20-16-lowlatency kernel and alsa 1.0.14rc1. What is interesting is that I had the same problems when I first installed the card and was running a kernel much older and Mandrake. Checking some of the alsa mailing lists I found a discussion about this dating back to 2004 ... so I'm assuming that whatever the problem was ... it's been fixed? Nope. For the past few years I've been using a usb-midi thingie, and that does work fine. But, I'm running out of USB ports, and I'd like to dedicate the usb-midi thing to my laptop. So, I tired the 2496 again ... same problem. So, should I just forget about the 2496 and buy yet-another-card? Do something creative with the usb port situation? Or does someone know a simple solution for the 2496 problem. Thanks. -- Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca

high latency with usb controller during high cpu loads

by Jozef Henzl

Hello list, Is it possible to prioritize irq of a usb device? I have the behringer bcr2000 midi controller, plugged to a usb port, and i experience really heavy latencies when cpu is on a high load (latency > 1s). During normal system operation it's ok, latency is practically realtime. thanks. -- Jozef Henzl http://popcorp.org

Ladspa scanning

by David Baron

Rosegarden and Muse, probably using the same code, kick about numerous ladspa plugins missing headers--are you sure this is a ladspa plugin? Freecycle, on the other hand, simply polls and loads them all up with nary a burp. (My local compiled version does segfault afterwards but that is another issue.) If they are good for the goose, why not the gander (honk!)?

Rosegarden 1.6.0 and Roland Sound Expansion Synths

by The Other

Hello All, I've got the hardware connections between Rosegarden 1.6.0 and my Roland Sound Expansion module M-OC1 (orchestra) model working. I would like to get the banks and patch names on the M-OC1 recognized by Rosegarden. When I try the Studio-> Manage Midi Devices ; I see the list of play devices. I've seen the Rosegarden supplied .rgd files and how they will add a synth with all of the patch names supplied; but how do I create such a file for the M-OC1? I've tried my best guess and typed in the first bank of 128 names, found no way to save it, and lost the work. How should I be doing this? I also have a Roland Sound Expansion module M-GS64 with multiple banks. I'd be happy to send these .rgd files to the Rosegarden people, but I don't know how to encode them. Also, any tips on how to specify MSB, LSB would be helpful. The first bank on the M-OC1 shows CC0: 80; CC32:0. The second bank shows CC0: 81; CC32:0. How does that get encoded into the MSB, LSB, that Rosegarden uses? Thanks All, Stephen.

multiple inputs with wine-jack?

by Robert Persson

Before I ask my question, I've been getting behind with email as always and I haven't always thanked the people who have responded to my questions on this list. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank you to those people. Anyway, my question: Is it possible to get jack to present multiple inputs to audio applications running under wine and wineasio? The reason is that I would like to route native jack applications into a Windows DAW such as Reaper or Tracktion. For instance it would be nice to have a couple of instances of zynaddsubfx controlled by the DAW and routed back into its master mix in addition to the two soundcard input channels. Of course what would be really useful would be to have jack/wineasio inputs and outputs wrapped in a windows VST plugin, a bit like the mac-nativeVST jack in/output plugin that comes with jackosx. I believe there was some talk of such a thing at some point. Anyone know if it is ever likely to come to fruition? Many thanks Robert -- Robert Persson ireneshusband(a)gmail.com
