Sorry about the off topic post. I just figured there would be people able to answer that here. I want advice on straightening a guitar patch cord. I tend to pace and walk around when I play my guitar standing. My patch cord seems to be all curled up now. It is not tangled there is just so many curls in it now that it curls all up every time I try to straighten it. Does any one know how to solve this or do I need to just buy a new one? In the past I just put up with it until I purchased a new one. Is there a way to get the curling out? Jeremiah

Denemo 0.8 Release -

by Nils Gey

Dear linux audio users and developers, Short version: ================== Denemo 0.8 is fresh, hot and avaible now! Grab your tarball @ http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/denemo/ (Windows binaries will join in later) and have a look at our newest features including full scripting support! If you are a programmer please help us to give Denemo JACKmidi/JACKtransport support so that its capable of blending with the rest of Linux-pro-audio. For contact, feature requests, bug reports and further information please visit http://www.denemo.org Interesting version: ================== Denemo is a music notation program for Linux and Windows (and MacOS some time ago) that lets you rapidly enter notation for typesetting via the LilyPond music engraver (because Lilypond is the reference and there is no sense in coding your own WYSIWYG notation apps). Its mainly controlled via your pc-keyboard with several edit-modes and shortcuts. Please note that we need help! Denemo has already many notation features build-in and if anything is not avaible you can enter Lilypond commandos and save them with your denemo file so that you can use the whole range of lilypond features. This means that Denemo is already capable of writing full, professional scores. But it lacks sequencer-features like advanced playback and routing via JACKmidi and support for JACKtransport. To really become the first usefull Linux notation-editor and notation-sequencer this is the last piece of the puzzle. Version 0.8 changelog: 1. A scripting interface to the Denemo commands has been created. 2. Example script-based commands are provided with the Denemo installation. 3. New scripts can be hand-written or "recorded" from a sequence of menu item clicks or by editing another script or a mixture of these. 4. New commands (scripts) can be installed in the menu system, given keyboard shortcuts, and generally used as other commands are. 5. The example scripts provided include a script showing the potential of Denemo for use in music education. In this example, random notes are generated and the user has to name the note. 6. Other examples include scripts for commands useful when generating scores with percussion, guitar fingerings, orchestral markings etc. 7. Various bugfixes and improvements to midi import have been made. greetings, Nils Gey www.denemo.org

Intel-HDA sound issues

by J M Needham

Hi All, I've got one of these pieces of crap in a reasonable enough laptop. When I start jack, with 17.4 ms latency (3p/b, realtime, unlock mem,priority 70) I get sound being very crackly from a "test" app -- zynaddsubfx. Note this is very much not normal behaviour before Hardy Heron (wife had a baby after then and didn't have much time until now) when under Gutsy, zyn, hydrogen, rosegarden and ardour all ran swimmingly together. On the messages from Jack I have: delay of 5034.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 4993.000; restart ... delay of 5101.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 4993.000; restart ... delay of 5101.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 4993.000; restart ... delay of 5031.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 4993.000; restart ... delay of 5031.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 4993.000; restart ... delay of 5073.000 usecs exceesecond. I'm running 2.6.24-21-rt under ubuntu Hardy heron. Anyone got any ideas? Jonty

Linux backing up Radioactive (of Spearhead)

by Ken Restivo

Here's a clip of a Linux laptop working together with a real drummer, real conga player, and real guitar player to back up Michael Franti's rapper, Radioactive: http://www.restivo.org/blog/podpress_trac/web/398/0/audiobraille-radioactiv… Everything is improvised, including the rap, which is all freestyle. What stood out for me is what a great entertainer this guy Radioactive is! His primary gig is playing festivals with Spearhead, and it shows. As soon as Radioactive walked into the room and grabbed the mic, the energy level went up instantly, like a bomb had hit it. It was a very pronounced difference. The keyboard and bass sounds are Fluidsynth on Linux. Everything else is analog instruments and voice. The clip was recorded on a Zoom H2. I remastered it in JAMIN on Linux to bring out the vocals a bit more. -ken

Calculating the sine wave frequencies from the midi key

by Arda Eden

Hi there, There's a line in the midisine.c code at jack's example client directory. In this code, Ian Esten has calculated note frequencies in the function below: void calc_note_frqs(jack_default_audio_sample_t srate) { int i; for(i=0; i<128; i++) { note_frqs[i] = (2.0 * 440.0 / 32.0) * pow(2, (((jack_default_audio_sample_t)i - 9.0) / 12.0)) / srate; } } after that, a variable called ramp is used to form the sine wave samples in the function process: ramp += note_frqs[note]; ramp = (ramp > 1.0) ? ramp - 2.0 : ramp; out[i] = note_on*sin(2*M_PI*ramp); I actually understood what the code does. But can someone show me a place to read information about the equation: note_frqs[i] = (2.0 * 440.0 / 32.0) * pow(2, (((jack_default_audio_sample_t)i - 9.0) / 12.0)) / srate; I couldn't catch the relationship in the calculation above. Thanks. -- Arda EDEN Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Fine Arts Department of Music Technology Sivas/TURKEY
