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

Really any kind of lyrics should be ok. 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.

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 :-)

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.

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.

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

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,

It's "doubling", same part sung twice.
