Re: [LAU] Ubuntu Studio 8.10, -rt and 2.6.27

This could be done in any Distro so there would not be a real Ubuntustudio anymore. The major strength of UBuntustudio is its near-perfect integration of a audiosystem with a friendly desktop-distro. I can run VMWare and NVIDIA-Drivers easily with the UBuntu rt kernel would be a major p.i.t.a. do make stuff like that run with a self made kernel. > * Ship a out-of-sync 2.6.26-rt kernel, hoping for a Stable Update > Release in Intrepid with .27 later. This would be perfectly acceptable for me :-) best regs HZN BTW: what is so extremely important in .27? new hardwaresupport not achievable with .26? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIvEhQ1Aecwva1SWMRAmTKAJwMGrAGXqWQ4Xr7Zyc7MVZTA8hCWwCfVDpw CpcTXD2CTF12KV+F/1kXrxM= =gL/T -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[ANN] Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard 0.1.0

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

This is the first public release of Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard. It is a MIDI event generator and receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another instrument or MIDI file player. VMPK has been tested in Linux and Windows, but maybe you can build it also in Mac OSX and SGI Irix. If you can compile and test the program in those systems, please drop me a mail. The Virtual Keyboard by Takashi Iway (vkeybd) has been the inspiration for this one. It is a wonderful piece of software and has served us well for many years. Thanks! VMPK is written in C++ using two free and platform independent frameworks: Qt4 (4.3 or newer is needed) and RtMIDI for MIDI input/output. It uses ALSA sequencer in Linux, WinMM in Windows and CoreMIDI in Mac OSX, which are the native MIDI systems in each supported platform. See: http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtmidi/ The alphanumeric keyboard mapping can be configured from inside the program using the GUI interface, and the settings are stored in XML files. Some maps for Spanish, German and French keyboard layouts are provided. VMPK can send program changes and controllers to a MIDI synth. The definitions for different standards and devices can be provided as .INS files, the same format used by Qtractor, TSE3, Cakewalk and Sonar. This software is in a very early alpha stage. Please feel free to contact me to ask questions, report bugs, and propose new features. You can use the tracking system at SourceForge project site.

Re: [LAU] M-Audio MIDISport UNO Compatable with Linux?

by fritzm1＠mweb.co.za

I don't know about Linux compatibility, but the MIDIsport UNO has compatibility problems with older models of Roland and Yamaha keyboards, so it is not only Linux compatibility that you have to watch out for. Fritz ----- Original Message ------ From:mowestusa Sent:Saturday, August 30, 2008 05:41 To:Linux Audio Users linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org; Subject:[LAU] M-Audio MIDISport UNO Compatable with Linux? Hello, I'm trying to set up a simple Midi interface between a Linux box and a Midi keyboard. Will the M-Audio MIDIsport UNO work with Linux? I bought it on sale for $19.99, and I'm hoping it will work with Rosegarden and other Midi programs under Linux.

Compiling vamp-sdk and Rubber Band on Ubuntu Studio 64

by Darren Landrum

Maybe someone can help me out with this? vamp-sdk appears to have no install targets, so I move everything manually to their places, but the configure script for Rubber Band still misses it. I'm running into all sorts of errors I've never seen before. Within the vamp source directory, I can do: make sdk and get that to work okay. Then what? The README also says I need to alter the Makefile to "suit my system", but when I try to change to directory paths at the beginning to places like /usr/include/vamp and /usr/local/lib/vamp-sdk, I just get an error saying those build targets don't exist. I did use sudo. Apparently, vamp needs to show up in something called PKG_CONFIG_PATH, which right now on my system has absolutely nothing in it. I've read the pkg-config man page, and am no closer to solving this issue. Thanks for the help. -- Darren Landrum
