[LAU] [ANN] AZR3-JACK released

by Lars Luthman

This JACK program is a port of the free VST plugin AZR-3. It is a tonewheel organ with drawbars, distortion and rotating speakers. The original was written by Rumpelrausch Täips. The organ has three sections, two polyphonic with 9 drawbars each and one monophonic bass section with 5 drawbars. The two polyphonic sections respond to events on MIDI channel 1 and 2, and an optional keyboard split function makes the bass section listen to the lower keys on channel 1. The three sections have separate sustain and percussion switches as well as separate volume controls, and the two polyphonic sections have separate vibrato settings. All three sections are mixed and sent through the distortion effect and the rotating speakers simulator, where the modulation wheel can be used to switch between fast and slow rotation, and the fast and slow rotation speeds themselves can be changed separately for the lower and upper frequencies. Get it at http://ll-plugins.nongnu.org/azr3/ --ll

[LAU] New kid on the block?

by Folderol

I've just spotted a new contributor to LAM (http://lam.fugal.net for anyone who doesn't know). This guy is from Brazil, which made me wonder if there was any way of encouraging other nationalities to come on board. It would also be nice if there was some way if indicating that people were taking an interest! -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk

[LAU] presonus firebox advice

by julien lociuro

Hi all, I would like to know if the Presonus Firebox audio card ( http://www.presonus.com/firebox.html) is well supported under linux. Is this a really good card? Do you guys have any other alternatives? I would like the card to have a preamp on it so I can directly connect my mic. Thanks -- julien

Have you panned your guitars as much to the left and right as possible? In case not, I think that would help a lot. I also ran your song through jamin: http://www.notam02.no/~kjetism/jack_capture_08.ogg I only have headphones right now, so its probably not very good, but maybe you find it interesting anyway. Here's the jamin preset file: http://www.notam02.no/~kjetism/silent_night.jam
