Anyone know how to build ZynAddSubFx from the sourceforge tarball?

by Nigel Henry

I've problems with ZynAddSubFx on Fedora 7. It's hitting 100% CPU when I start it. I DL'd the tarball for it from Sourceforge, but there are no install instructions. There's some stuff in the README for windoze, but nothing for us Linux users. I've other Fedora. and Debian installs where ZynAddSubFx works with no problems, so it's not that I don't have access to it, but would like some info as to how to build it from the tarball, and get it working on Fedora 7. Any help appreciated. Nigel.

Loosing stuff is not always a bad thing

by Folderol

Recently I posted my tune 'Antartica' on KVR (not mentioned here because it had no connection at all with Linux) and when someone commented that one instrument was too loud, I thought he was right so decided to do a remix. To my horror I could find no trace of the build files, not even searching back more than two years of backup CDs, after the usual tantrums, swearing and pulling the house apart (no chair throwing though). I had the bright idea of firing up my ancient Acorn machine, which to my surprise and delight came up without problems. There was my original MIDI file from 1993. This was of course quite a lot different from later versions, but was complete enough for me to recreate the track. However, I felt free to be more adventurous both with the tune itself, and the instruments. It is now about 70% ZynAddSubFX, 20% SY35 & 10% Sound Canvas and all the editing was done in Rosegarden so is proudly 'music made with linux' :) I would greatly appreciate some feedback, even if it's just to say I wasted my time and should have left the old machine in peace. http://www.musically.me.uk/music/Antartica.ogg http://www.musically.me.uk/music/Antartica.mp3 Hey, I think I've finally got the hang of these URLs :) -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk

[Announce] MusE 0.9

by Robert Jonsson

Hello everybody, Finally, after what does seem like ages (mainly because there literally has been ages) since the last release, here is finally what we have decided to call MusE 0.9! MusE is a multitrack midi/audio sequencer with support for internal and external softsynths, in the same vein as popular commercial music applications like Cubase, Logic, etc. MusE has been in transition towards a redesign dubbed MusE 1.0 and there wasn't supposed to be any more development in the old (0.7,0.8, now 0.9) branch. But, due to fresh developer interest and lots of angry users, we decided to resurrect the old codebase :) (I didn't mean the part about angry users, we love you all! :-) ) The MusE homepage is at: http://www.muse-sequencer.org The download is available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lmuse/ Some major changes since 0.8.1: - Working -old style- automation system, pretty much all parameters should be automatable, audio and midi. - Redesigned Solo/Mute system, works much better - lots of "things" added - lots of bugs fixed (exchange quotations as needed) Quite long winding excerpt from the ChangeLog: * Fixed bug 1650953 - select and move segfault * Fixed broken master list editor. Should cure bug 1687166 * Added auto part resizing to drum canvas * Fixed intermittent crash when cutting a part. * Fixed arranger part selection * Fixed arranger part operations (move etc.) to use selected part. * Fixed arranger keyboard left and right previous/next part selection. * Fixed wave editor - Black selection bar intermittent drawing. * Wave editor now allows you to open multiple selected wave parts * Fixed intermittent arithmetic exception crash in wave viewer. * Fixed bad wave drawing above certain zoom level in wave editor. * fix for sustain pedal to work as suspected when looping. * Feature request: 1650957 space bar should start/stop playback fixed * Fixed bug 1645575 - Eraser tool causes segfault in drum editor * Fix for bug #1074808 "NRPN - still 128 values?" * Fixed some major issues with undo/redo. * Prevented save and segfault upon load for routes with empty names. * Add new soloing system. * Enabled MIDI mixer strip solo buttons. * Fixed loading of .med files, with plugins, created before muse-0.9pre1 * Fixed touch mode events storing, was not right. * Sliders, knobs and labels respond to mousewheel and paging properly. * Linked labels with sliders and knobs for paging and mouse wheeling * Fixed integer controls (like Glame Bandpass 'stages'). * Fixed external plugin gui's to look like the built-in freeverb. * solo is now united between midi and audio * fixed issue with hanging notes for softsynths when stop is pressed * fixed faulty off value for aux when set to max * Fixed timing bug causing MusE to depend on jack buffer setting * Added support for auto-scroll for all drag operations * Adopted RT locking method from 1.0 branch. * Fixed - DoubleLabel right click causes popup and runaway increment. * Changing global tempo now updates things. (Like resizing wave tracks). * Fixed ladspa plugin automation not working until plugin displayed. * Select right item when stacked, for p-roll and arranger * Apply effect rack before sending aux * Auto assign internal softsynths upon creation * New method for pasting parts, keep orig. spacing, fixes bug #1516294 * Muting of midi-tracks no longer mute input, bug #1092343 * Fixed issue with controllers when moving playhead, bug #1316542 * Cached peak files now updated when wave files are newer, bug #1469177 * Fixed bug with recording notes to existing part, bug #1552783 * asks when imported wave file has differing samplerate, bug #1428248 * Added rubberband scrolling in all applicable editors, bug #1057732 * Changed colours of audio-out and wave names to match icon colours * Fixed aux sending * Fix logarithmic feedback to plugin sliders * Fixed multi-part undo for move,drag and copy in arranger, bug #1516298 * Fixed multiple note undo for move and drag in pianoroll * Fixed cursor placement in List Editor upon delete events bug #1417718 * Fixed soloing. Also multiple soloing now allowed. * Enabled solo buttons on the mixer strips. * Fixed major issues with rack plugin moving, saving and loading. * Fixed issue with multiple tempo changes and incorrect wave part length * Changed plugin code to use double to stop certain errors * Full LADSPA plugin automation. * fluidsynth: fixed pitchbend events, fixes bug #1404212 * Editing volume and pan with keyboard on audio strip now works * Fixed issue with audio record, fifo could overflow with small buffers * fixed storing of files with relative path "under" the project path Full ChangeLog: http://lmuse.cvs.sourceforge.net/lmuse/muse/ChangeLog?revision=1.214.2.194 Please report bugs and/or feature requests to the tracker (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93414).

JazzMutant Dexter

by Victor Roetman

Here's an interesting video review of the JazzMutant Dexter touch-screen DAW controller. http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=5227 This brings up two thoughts: 1) I wonder what it would take to get this to work with Ardour. and 2) Couldn't something similar be done with Ardour or Rosegarden or something else and a standard touch-screen? vic

Music: Woxitron WIP

by Thorsten Wilms

Hi! It all started with a single custom drumloop run through dozens of plugins, cut into pieces and rearranged to retrieve several versions that can be layered. That was years ago, using Cubase. Now I feel slightly awkward about that, but this material is way to good to leave it :) I took those few short loops and a bunch of other old samples to build a track in Ardour. Said samples include me screaming into the mic, a car and a lorry passing by on a wet street and a soda stream. http://images.ciao.com/ide/images/products/normal/555/Soda_Stream_Maxi__172… So far its almost all percussion. I intend to add melodic parts. Usually I build a "core" of a piece, consisting of 4 to 16 bars with complete instrumentation, but here I have a skeleton now, like was the case with "FM Casserole" and the collaborations with Folderol. I post this WIP to gather some feedback, as I wonder if the breaks and transitions are maybe a bit rough and whether I should extend some parts to provide stability. http://www.archive.org/download/woxitron/thorwil_woxitron_wip.ogg http://www.archive.org/download/woxitron/thorwil_woxitron_wip.mp3 -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Design for Free Software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com

[ANN] jackmix 0.4 "JackMix (Un)l(e)ashed"

by Arnold Krille

Hi all, From the "doing-my-exams-I-need-a-break"- and the "long-long-time-ago"-depth. comes the next release of JackMix. Whats new since 0.3? Since 0.3 can save its own state (and load it again) it was only a small step to include lash-support. Well, it took some time after the last release but thats because I had to be real busy for work and university. And it seemed to be a bug somewhere in the new lash-part but currently I can't reproduce it, so I think I just release this version before it gets really old... Visit http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/?q=node/600 to find more. See http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/?q=JackMix:screenshots for screenshots or just download the package from http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/files/downloads/jackmix/jackmix-0.4.tar.gz Have a nice week, Arnold -- visit http://www.arnoldarts.de/ --- Hi, I am a .signature virus. Please copy me into your ~/.signature and send me to all your contacts. After a month or so log in as root and do a rm / -rf. Or ask your administrator to do so...

An atrocity committed with PD

by Ken Restivo

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 WARNING: this is harsh and pretty much unlistenable-- and certainly unmusical--, but I find it hilariously funny: http://www.restivo.org/misc/moltar-atrocity-0.1.ogg I modified a PD sample-mangling patch, attached MIDI CC's to some of its parameters, loaded it up with a sample from a classic "Space Ghost" episode, and spent a few minutes of gleeful insanity tweaking MIDI faders. Not only is it a sonic atrocity, but it's also a legal atrocity: there's no way I'd ever be able to clear the rights to this from Cartoon Network, so I'll take this down after a few days. Serious question: what do y'all do about the 1980's-era idiocy of MIDI, in that it only has 127 steps in its CC's (sheesh, not even a lousy byte!). Do you burn two controllers with fine/coarse adjustments? If so, how do you determine the scale for fine and/or coarse? - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG1lcpe8HF+6xeOIcRAk9QAJ93vfk3uFC5t1beY+DFvxyD73hAPQCfR4+q 45AHmIbP8lS7+Uxk357bsHk= =ykC0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

getting started with OSC

by Josh Lawrence

hello all, I would like to learn more about OSC: what it can do, how to send messages, and most importantly, examples of how to use OSC to control different things. can anyone point me to a resource on the net that talks about this from a user's prospective? (I am not a programmer, though I can feel my way around scripts.) thanks, Josh -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com http://www.joshlawrencetrio.com
