AMS Crashes

by Simon Williams

Alsa module synth keeps crashing whenever I try to load any of the patch es that ship with it. By pure chance I did manage to find one that worked last time. Now I cannot. Another very annoying thing is that it forgets where I last loaded a path file from, forcing me to type /usr/share/ams every time. Also, after loading ams gives lots of lines like this in the terminal, even though it's using jack and jack isn't reporting any xruns: Alsa_driver: stat = fffffffc, xrun of at least 0.052 ms For the large majority of patch files, ams gives lots of errors about not being able to load LADSPA plugins. Why aren't these shipped with it if they are in the examples??? That's plain stupid. Where do I get them from? Then, in an equal number of cases, I won't get missing plugin errors- I will get this in the terminal: All available output ports are in use QScrollView::addChild(): Cannot add null child Segmentation fault And ams dies with no other useful information. Any suggestions? Thanks Simon

Well, lyrics with meaning that touches your feelings. Preferably not simple depressing love lyrics (Ex: she left me and I feel alone..I'm gonna die :-) ) But it could be love lyrics.. Anyway, fyi it'll probably be a song with as base instrument the piano. Thanks. Julien

Something like "midicontroller" GUI for OSC?

by Ken Restivo

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 My M-Audio Axiom 49 just died. And I have four live shows scheduled next week (Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday). I don't have time to get it repaired, and I can't afford to replace it. To get me through these shows, I can borrow a MIDI keyboard, with just keys and no buttons/knobs/sliders, which means I'm going to have to build a GUI myself to use on the laptop or touchscreen for controlling parameters. Lars's "midicontroller" thing looks very cool. http://sourceforge.net/projects/midicontrol/ I'm kind of excited by the possibilities of building a custom GUI that can control all my synths. midicontroller can do it, but it'd be easier to do with OSC than MIDI. PD is a natural for this, but I like GTK widgets better. And the PD sliders might not be big enough for touchscreen use. Is there anything like this "midicontroller" app that uses OSC instead? OK, I'm going to go fire up glade now :-) - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG8d5re8HF+6xeOIcRAgU9AJ46oAQnNsDpLKufhNpE9M0GW25L3QCfQa54 imGsyF87gM8W/9eJYCS0nhw= =bSRX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Sure that sounds simple enough, but I need something really really basic that is guaranteed to work, because at the moment I still don't know if alsa is ignoring those files or if the contents are wrong. >> 5.

There is if you've only got one PCM (i.e. no hardware mixing) like most people- that is, unless you have another suggestion on how to do software mixing. > Personal opinion: Audigy sucks.

That's worth knowing, thanks. There aren't many pcmcia sound cards on ebay though. Creative Audigy 2 or Echo Indigo are the only ones I can find. Is the echo indigo any good? Thanks Simon

another song with corin

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: Another song recorded by my student Corin Marshall : http://linux-sound.org/audio/fever.ogg With lots of help from Ardour2, Audacity, JAMin, ecasound, and ReZound, under 64 Studio and JAD. I passed the session between machines, had no troubles. Plugins included CAPS plate reverb, CAPS phaser with Lorenz modulator, DJ EQ (mono), and TAP Tube Warmth. Drums from Beta Monkey again, I'm playing bass and guitar again. For the rest, it is what it is. :) Best, dp
