I downloaded and read the code of AMS and see some possibilities to improve its CPU load, it doesnt looked very optimized. Next week I could do the coding and send the patches to Fons, whom I already contacted. My approach I would descripe evolutionary, not revolutionary. Its like opening a big expensive vintage Moog Modular for soldering. I dont want to rewrite the soundengine, but like to help with optimizations and improvements regarding usebility. The changes have to be done very carefully and I will do an A/B test with the old AMS on the left and the new AMS on the right ear. Thats all I can offer...

[linux-audio-user] Open letter to Steve Ballmer

by Marc-Olivier Barre

Hi, Since Microsoft recent audio related patent "that looks a lot like ALSA", I thought this could be interesting : http://www.showusthecode.com/ In short it's an open letter to Steve Ballmer asking him to show the code and patents that Linux supposedly copied from Microsoft (haha, what a joke...) Happy reading, __________________ Marc-Olivier Barre, Markinoko.

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] hexter 0.6.0

by Sean Bolton

Announcing a new release of the hexter DSSI plugin. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? group_id=104230&package_id=134428 hexter is a software synthesizer that models the sound generation of a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. It can easily load most DX7 patch bank files, accept patch editing commands via MIDI sys-ex messages, and recreate the sound of the DX7 with greater accuracy than any other open-source emulation (that the author is aware of...) hexter operates as a plugin for the Disposable Soft Synth Interface (DSSI). New features in version 0.6.0 include: * Implemented the LFO, amplitude modulation and pitch modulation (many thanks to Jamie Bullock)! * Added TX7-style performance parameters, allowing configuration from the GUI of pitch bend range, portamento time, and sensitivity and assignment of the modulation wheel, foot controller, pressure (both channel and key), and breath controller. * Added DX7 patchbank loading code from Martin Tarenskeen, allowing hexter to load a number of additional patch file formats. * Partially implemented portamento. For now, the curves and times are wrong, but the plumbing is there. More information about hexter and DSSI can be found at: http://dssi.sourceforge.net/hexter.html hexter is written by Sean Bolton, and copyright (c)2007 under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later.

[linux-audio-user] Score Editors

by a

Hi All, I'm new to this list and it's been a while since I've looked at linux audio. I am most comfortable writing in a score editor. I have a couple of gigasamples but they are too expensive to keep collecting them. Are people using soundfonts? I know about qsampler and qsynth but my question is, what score editors are the most powerful that would work with these programs and also possibly with ardour. Does anyone have any favorite setups to share? Thanks, Arthur

[linux-audio-user] Caps metronome

by yves＠jazzcomputer.org

Hi. Could somone tell me how to find the metronome which is part of Caps in a jack-rack ? Its name is click. I can find it quite everywhere, for example in Ardour, but not in jack-rack. Or would there be a trick to have a simple graphical jack-enabled metronome ? A patch for gtick would really be a must... Thanks in advance, Y.

[linux-audio-user] Thickness envy

by Chris McCormick

Hey All, I listened to the tracks that Leonard Ritter posted recently and then listened to my own latest track immediately after, which made me realise how innadequate it sounds, no matter how loud I turn it up. Does anyone have any mastering tips? I have no idea about mastering. Leonard, how do you get your stuff to sound so fat? Here's my track that doesn't sound fat enough: <http://www.sciencegirlrecords.com/chr15m/music/CD005/Chris%20McCormick%20-%…> It's also written in a tracker. Best, Chris. ------------------- chris(a)mccormick.cx http://mccormick.cx

Re: [linux-audio-user] Logo for the Linux Sound & MIDI Software Wiki

It bears no visual reference to audio or sound but this is just fine, I guess. My main concern is the linuxaudio.org-writing, as it is not in the box and thus doesn't seem to belong to the logo. Perhabs making it smaller and putting it directly next to the box would help? Or, alternatively, putting it into the header of the box. But then, the problem with making it smaller probably is that you can't read it properly when the logo is scaled down. What about omitting it altogether? Anyway, thanks a lot for your effort!

[linux-audio-user] Command-line app to run LADSPA plugins?

by Ken Restivo

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm looking for a simple command-line daemon to run a processing chain of LADSPA effects. Basically, so that I can power on my machine and have a bunch of softsynths and effects running without any monitor or text-keyboard. I have scripts that start fluidsynth, scripts that setup jack_connect and aconnect, but I still need a GUI program (jack-rack) in order to get the LADSPA stuff. Somewhere there must be a non-gooey alternative. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF54Tge8HF+6xeOIcRAul8AKCX5h+IIImNic2U1tV5PAYSazwokgCgtk1l Lt7bDvPRqor6L+BcRHzQcFY= =V8Nq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[linux-audio-user] jack midi vs alsa midi

by Atte André Jensen

Hi Just realized my post got burred in another thread, so here goes in a fresh thread: Nedko Arnaudov wrote: > Having audio and MIDI perfectly synchronized is a must in my > vision. There is no point of using JACK if you use ALSA too. Really? I haven't yet used it, and think alsa midi works just fine. Exactly where (real world scenarios, please) is jack-midi superior the the degree that the current approach is pointless? And I'd also like to hear a quick hand up: Who's using jack midi exclusively and who's using alsa midi? -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk | quintet: http://www.anagrammer.dk | compositions: http://www.atte.dk/compositions
