azr3 ported to lv2 by Lars Luthman is the best choice. it requires LV2
and JACK MIDI. sure, it's a bit of a pain to set up, but it's
definitely worth it.

Set this one to false. Multiple audio outputs is incompatible with it.
Other relevant settings are already correct.

Beatrix is worth a go:

Announcing the release of Sonic Visualiser 1.0pre3, a pre-release for
the soon forthcoming Sonic Visualiser 1.0.
http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/
Sonic Visualiser is an application for viewing and analysing the
contents of music audio files. It contains advanced waveform and
spectrogram viewers, as well as editors for many sorts of audio
annotations. Besides visualisation, it can make and play selections
based on the locations of automatically detected features, seamlessly
loop playback of single or multiple noncontiguous regions, synthesise
annotations for playback, and time-stretch playback while retaining
display synchronisation.
Sonic Visualiser also makes use of the Vamp plugin API, for plugins that
extract descriptive or analytical data from audio. Vamp is an easy to
use plugin API with a comprehensive and well-commented SDK, and is now
frozen for the Vamp 1.0 release.
Sonic Visualiser is Free Software distributed under the GNU General
Public License. The 0.9 release is available now in source code form
or as binaries for Linux, OS/X, and Windows.
For more information and downloads, please see
http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/
For more information about Vamp plugins, please see
http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/vamp.html
See also the SourceForge page for this project at
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/sv1/
Sonic Visualiser was developed at the Centre for Digital Music, Queen
Mary, University of London and partially funded by the European
Commission through the SIMAC project IST-FP6-507142 and the EASAIER
project IST-FP6-033902.

Hello everybody,
I've tried to set up qsynth with multiple audio output channels for each
midi channel. Is it possible?
Below is the ~/.qt/qsynthrc file of my tests where I set multi jack
outputs to true, 16 audio channels and one audio group (tried also 16
audio groups).
So what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Chris

With all this talk about laptops, I was wondering if there's anything
I can do to make mine usable. My main audio computer has been on the
fritz recently, so I'd like to be able to work with my laptop while
I'm troubleshooting. The problem is that the best latency I can get is
2x1024 frames, which comes out to 42.7 ms at 48000 Hz. This is clearly
not usable for live processing work. The laptop is a couple years old,
and has a 1GHz AMD Duron processor and 256MB of RAM.
I've got a 2.6.20 kernel patched with ingo's RT patch, set to full
preemption, and with all power management disabled. I'm using Debian's
most recent PAM package to give my regular user realtime privileges
and the following in my limits.conf:
@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - memlock 100000
@audio - nice -10
Jackd doesn't complain about not being able to get realtime, so I
think that's working. Also, when I use chrt to look at the priorities
of the jackd threads, there are 2 of them running SCHED_FIFO with
priorities of 20 and 10.
/proc/interrupts tells me that VIA686A (my onboard chipset) is the
only thing on IRQ10, and chrt tells me that IRQ10 is running
SCHED_FIFO at priority 50, as are all the other IRQ threads. Boosting
the priority to 60 doesn't seem to make a difference.
Is there anything more I can do?
Thanks,
spencer
