[ANN] QjackCtl 0.3.0 (unstable-qt4) has been released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone, I am humbly proud to announce that yet another one of my linux-audio `cutie-suite` application has bitten the Qt4 dust. Yes, it's time for QjackCtl 0.3.0 (unstable-qt4) to be released, fresh from the CVS oven (hmmm... this makes it the second oxymoron on one post; gotta fix this :) Although the ChageLog doesn't go into many details, there were many subtle bugs fixed but plenty as more were blindly introduced, as always. I count on your eyeballs to make them shallow ;) So it was: - Qt4 migration was complete. Care must be taken with this new configuration file and location: this release starts a new one from scratch and won't reuse any of the previous existing ones, although cut and paste might help if you know what you're doing :) - On a last-minute addition, the "firewire" audio backend driver option has been also included, supporting the ffado.org project which is evolving where "freebob" is leaving (thanks to Klaus Zimmermann for this one). The usual place where the new source tarball can be grabbed: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Cheers && Enjoy, -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

New sensor project video

by Spencer Russell

Howdy, I just posted a new video showing the current status of some distance sensors I've been working on this summer. Now that most of the technical glitches are dealt with, I just need to mount them up on my bass to start the live processing. http://www.columbia.edu/~sfr2105 let me know what you think... -spencer

Video of a Linux laptop being played live

by Ken Restivo

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Although the laptop itself is off-screen, you can hear it: http://www.restivo.org/blog/archives/169 The lower-manual controller is an M-Audio Axiom 49. The upper-manual controller is a no-name cheap-ass MIDI controller with two broken keys which I had to Krazy Glue into place the morning of the show. The bass is patched into the upper manual; Rhodes on the lower one. The bass and keyboard sounds are both coming out of fluidsynth, on an ASUS Core 2 Duo laptop, into an M-Audio FastTrack Pro USB interface, with one channel going into a Roland KC-150 keyboard amp and the other into a bass amp. The Rhodes is going through several LADSPA plugins on its way out to the amp. The bass is dry. On this night I was borrowing the bass amp from the headline band, and it wasn't exactly the sound I usually like to get. Alas, the big Tux logo on the laptop was not visible because it was hidden by the bar railing in front of the stage. I'm finding I like to place the laptop facing against walls, pillars, railings, and other solid objects, so that it is less likely to be knocked over. Many, many thanks to everyone on this list who helped me get my setup, um, set up. This stuff works great, sounds great, and, best of all, is Free-as-in-Freedom. At some point I will post videos of a different project I've also been working with-- a funk/soul band which makes heavy use of the AZR3 Hammond B3 emulator LV2 plugin running in Elven. Again, thanks to everyone here for helping me over the past 6 months in getting all this stuff squared away. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGlw1Xe8HF+6xeOIcRAmpvAKDcg8EEDF5l8W3JcM/3/MC0Ma9T1QCgmyon j0InHWkUO/vX/Laje2/ehs0= =DCtz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

qjack-v0.3.0-feature request-keyboard shortcuts

by Dragan Noveski

hi rui, hallo list. for long time i am missing some features in qjack, since rui is now working on a new version it is perhaps the right time to make a feature request. it would be very useful, if at least the connection window would provide some keyboard-shortcuts. something like: - tab: changing between input/output column - key down/up: scrolling to the client (this we already have!) - space: showing all client in/outs (like clicking at the '+' in the front of the clients name now - by example alsaplayer-out1/out2..) - alt+m: somehow marking the output we want to connect - tab: changing to the input column .... choosing the input and hitting let's say 'enter', so the clients got connected. i do not have any idea if this is possible to implement but i really prefer using the keys instead of the mouse. perhaps rui can say sth. about this idea, but i also would like to get some feedback from the list, about what the other users think about this idea. cheers, doc

Assigning MIDI controller to effects

by Daniel Garmendia

Hello, I am trying to use the controllers on my Trigger Finger to manipulate effects. Is there a way to assign a particular MIDI controller to the effects knobs in hydrogen? How about jack-rack? I haven't figured it out on my own and google searches have been fruitless. Thanks for advice, Daniel Garmendia

Re: [Solar-general] asociacion de artistas copyleft

by Marcos Guglielmetti

[invito a los músicos interesados que participan de Musix y otras partes a participar de la propuesta de Diego Saravia, si pueden, subscríbanse a esta lista de correo: https://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/solar-general] El Miércoles, 11 de Julio de 2007 00:47, Diego Saravia escribió: | debieramos promover la formacion de una asociacion de artistas, | especialmente musicos, que desean licenciar sus obras en forma | copyleft, para ver como hacer para evitar que sadaic/adicapif cobre en | todos los casos independientemente de como se licencie una cancion A ver, tengo poca relación con sadaic/adicapif, sólo registré una serie de temas hace como 6 años, sólo porque mi compañero compositivo quería, yo en ese entonces ni siquiera usaba SL. No sé qué implicancias tiene registrar en sadaic/adicapif: si yo soy poseedor del derecho de autor, supongo que puedo licenciar por sadaic/adicapif y también licenciar con licencias libres, copyleft, ¿o no es así? | hoy te cobran por todo aunque solo se toque musica libre en una fiesta ¿Eso es efectivamente cierto? Más allá de que en los hechos quizá no suceda que te cobren a vos como consumidor de esa música por reproducir una canción en una fiesta en todos los casos, entiendo la propuesta y la idea. Ojo que hay muchos músicos encantados con la idea de cobrar por sus composiciones, ¿qué tenemos para ofrecerles que sea mejor que eso? El Estado no los banca a los músicos populares ¿entonces? ¿Cuál sería el modelo de negocios/supervivencia que le propondríamos a una banda o solista? ¿Ganar dinero sólo en recitales? Puede ser, no digo que no. Puede ser eso más un sistema de donaciones vía PayPal o lo que fuere. Tener en cuenta que el hecho de que sea copyleft no forma necesariamente comunidades alrededor de la música al mismo nivel que en el software, porque los músicos no necesitan unirse para producir algo técnicamente superior: pueden permanecer "atomizados" y aún así ser libres y hacer cosas fantásticas. Otro punto: la música más avanzada (o compleja, o académica o culta) las hacen las orquestas filarmónicas, u orquestas Estatales y coros universitarios, etc., que suelen cobrar sueldo del Estado o tocar gratis por amor al arte. También existen bandas de música culta, como por ejemplo el jazz, que hacen música muy compleja, por amor al arte, y no necesitan reunir 1000 músicos para hacer algo mejor. Digo: el concepto copyleft como formación de comunidades tiene otras implicancias en el arte, diferentes al software. Por otro lado, los artistas suelen tender a valorar sus sentimientos particulares por sobre cosas "externas", y eso lo reflejan en sus obras, eso es una costumbre histórica y social, pero también es parte de la esencia misma del arte, a mi entender. Crear arte libre es bueno, y tenemos que mencionar por qué lo es: * Termina con la ilegalidad, por consiguiente con la represión judicial/policial y el mercado negro del arte * Potencialmente los materiales artísticos pueden llegar a más cantidad de personas (por ser casi gratis), las cuales de otra manera quizá no los comprarían o no los reproducirían o interpretarían * Crea la idea de que el arte puede ser apropiado por todos, y no es privilegio de los que tienen más dinero, esto puede promover la producción de más arte. * Potencialmente se pueden crear climas más comunitarios, menos individualistas, sin que el individualismo en el arte sea algo malo, a mi entender. ¿Qué otros beneficios ven? -- `&' # Marcos Guglielmetti, co-director de # Musix GNU+Linux, 100% Software Libre para artistas _#_ http://www.musix.org.ar (#) / O \ + archivos: ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix ( === ) Ecología: http://autosus.wordpress.com `---' Personal: http://marcospcmusica.wordpress.com "Nuestras clases dominantes han procurado siempre que los trabajadores no tengan historia, no tengan doctrina, no tengan héroes ni mártires.
