edirol fa-66 HELP - cant get it working...

by unknown＠example.com

hi list, I have a edirol fa-66 but don't know how to get it working. I'm using ubuntu studio 8.04 I tried with jack + Freebob and it works for some seconds/minutes... starts with: *libiec61883 warning: Established connection on channel 0. You may need to manually set the channel on the receiving node. libiec61883 warning: Established connection on channel 1. You may need to manually set the channel on the transmitting node. * and soon it freezes or crashes with this message: *LibFreeBoB ERR: watchdog: timeout* *06:49:15.279 JACK is being forced...* *cannot complete execution of the processing graph (Sucesso)* *zombified - calling shutdown handler* I got the FFADO repositorie for ubuntu and installed it all. But when I try to use it, I got the same error messages... My firewire controller (lspci) is: FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 05) I have no problem of changing my distribution, if that would get the equipment to work stable. Is there a distro where it works better? thanks for the help anyway! Hope someone can give me some advice.

showing piano style double staves in Rosegarden / Lilypond

by andy baxter

Hello, Does anyone know if there's a way to display recorded midi tracks in Rosegarden with a double staff, treble and bass clef, the way piano music is usually written? I'm trying to help out a friend of mine who wants to be able to play stuff on his midi keyboard and have it automatically written into music notation, both as a way of learning notation himself and for communicating with other musicians. We have managed to get rosegarden to record midi from the keyboard into a track, and display it or export it to lilypond, but the problem is it can only show a single stave at once, with either a bass or treble clef but not both. The rosegarden faq mentions a document which is supposed to explain how to get rosegarden to show a double piano style stave, but it's moved or been taken down and I can't find the link. Thanks for any help with this. andy

Access Virus VST plugin, can it run on linux?

by robert lazarski

Hi all, I'm looking at buying Access Virus Snow - a hard synth virtual analog synthesizer. Concerning VST, its wikipedia entry is described as: "An outstanding feature of the TI series is "Total Integration": It is currently the only synthesizer that can be fully integrated in a current computer based audio workstation as a VST or AU plugin, including the advantages of sample accurate MIDI timing, host automation as well as total recall." There's an old post here - there's been hardware and OS upgrades since then, ie its still in production: http://lalists.stanford.edu/lau/2004/11/0245.html Anyone using this VST on linux? Robert

[ANN] zynjacku-3

by Nedko Arnaudov

In this release: * Plugin presets (save/restore) * Improved support for Calf plugins (various extensions needed by development version) * MIDI CC/Pitchwheel automation. Not yet available for custom UIs. Works for float parameters only. * Replace PHAT fansliders with bundled knobs. PyPhat is no longer required. * lv2dynparam host library is now optional. To enable support for dynparam plugins (lv2zynadd) lv2dynparam1 version 2 is needed. zynjacku is JACK based, GTK (2.x) host for LV2 synths. It has one JACK MIDI input port (routed to all hosted synths) and one (two for stereo synths) JACK audio output port per plugin. Such design provides multi-timbral sound by running several synth plugins. zynjacku is a nunchaku weapon for JACK audio synthesis. You have solid parts for synthesis itself and you have flexible part that allows synthesis to suit your needs. lv2rack is a host for LV2 effect plugins. You need slv2 library to compile zynjacku tarball. Project homepage with screenshots: http://home.gna.org/zynjacku/ Get tarball from here: https://gna.org/files/?group=zynjacku -- Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: DE1716B0>

Weird hdspmixer routing (Multiface I + Cardbus)

by Florian Hollerweger

Hi list, I have recently set up my RME Multiface I + Cardbus card on a dualboot Windows XP / Debian laptop (Samsung Q45). Under Windows, everything is working fine, but under Debian, I am experiencing some strange behavior of hdspmixer (version 1.6), i.e. the routing does not seem to correlate to the actual fader positions, and all faders seem to be dead, i.e. moving them does not seem to affect the routing in any way. I am aware that a similar problem has been described by Tim Blechmann et al. in 2004. However, I am not experiencing any of the distorted playback they have reported then; all signals seem to be clean. Here is some info on the CardBus from lspci: 04:09.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev b4) (I remember reading about trouble with Ricoh / Multiface combinations but can't remember any details.) By the way, the hdspmixer's VU meters reflect the messed up routing, i.e. where there is some output on the VU meter, there is also a signal. Has anyone experienced similar problems? I would appreciate any hints. Thanks, flo.

Need hardware and software sugestions

by Andres Blanco

Hi, First time posting on the list. I have some questions regarding audio production. I've been thinking of setting a small audio production machine, nothing too fancy, but good enough to create good quality podcasts and do some mixing. All done in linux of course. What linux distro do you suggest? What hardware to use that would work flawlessly on linux? I'm not a pro when it comes to audio production, so if it's not too much to ask, please don't be too technical, suggest me a few links so I can learn, or even explain if you have the time. Thank you all for taking your time to read. -- Andrés Blanco Morales
