For some reason, even though HPET is configured into this kernel, /dev/hpet does not exist. Do I really need it, and if so, how do I fix it? J.E.B.

[LAU] tuning midi to alternative temperaments

by Rustom Mody

Hi I have a piano (I am not sure what to call a touch sensitive 7-octave Casio) that has 7 tunings: Equal, Just, Werckmeister-III and so on. I try always to fit my music to the best possible temperament. I am also a linux user -- recently started using the excellent nted software to write up music. So the question: How does one specify alternative temperaments to timidity? My OS(s): Desktop running debian-lenny, Laptop running ubuntu 8.4 (hardy) Rustom PS I am new to this list: If this question is inappropriate for this list please tell me :-)

[LAU] [ANN] jack_capture V0.9.36 and Ceres V0.48

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

Download from: http://archive.notam02.no/arkiv/src/?C=M;O=D jack_capture ============ jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into a file, but it can do a number of other operations as well. 0.9.32 -> 0.9.36 * Add support for OGG (requires sndlib>=1.0.18) * Check if file format is supported by sndlib before creating file * Added auto-support for WVE, MPC2K and RF64. (untested) * Reset terminal colors when exiting. * Check dependencies for various programs in the Makefile * Tried to make it even more clear (if that's possible) that 'jack_capture --port system:playback_1 --port system:playback_2' does exactly the same as the default. * Added untested patch from Orcan Ogetbil to make jack_capture compile on a ppc64 platform. In case jack_capture is ran on a ppc64 platform, a warning is printed during runtime. * Clearing up licenses * A fix for open() from Florian Faber. * A couple of gui fixes from Orcan Ogetbil. Ceres **************************** Ceres is a large program for doing various sound effects in the frequency domain and displaying sonograms. The program has been developed for about 13 years, and is mainly made by Øyvind Hammer with contributions from Jonathan Lee, Stanko Juzbasic and many others. 0.46 -> 0.48: -Various fixes to make it build with fc11 -Include openmotif to make it easier to build -Various makefile fixes

From my understanding QT4 is more of a cosmetic update and wouldn't necessarily bring more sequencer functionality in. (correct me if I'm wrong) However migrating could require a major overhaul.... Robert and Tim have put in a hell of a lot of work in the past year or so and MusE is functioning really really well. It may look a bit dated.. but that's really not the point is it?

Re: [LAU] Opinions of M-Audio Axiom 61 controller?

>About a year ago I also got an Edirol PCR-30, which I use for most rehearsals and some casual gigs; it's not as nice as the Novation but I can take it on a bicycle and/or BART. > >-ken I have an older PCR-30 for gigs (which is slightly broken), and PCR-300 in studio.. The advantage of these devices is that they can have any sysex message programmed, not limited to predefined GM/GS messages.... (this is very useful for older digital synths such as my TX-81z). I almost bought the M-Audio but returned it because it didn't have this functionality..

Re: [LAU] [ANN] MusE 1.0

by Robert Jonsson

Hi, > > BTW: Muse shows up in qtjackctl's alsa connection pane but nothing shows in > the audio pane (where I would expect something interfacing the soft-synths or > a port for each one instantiated). Nothing? By default you should get the standard output which is part of the "default.med" template. By storing an edited default.med file, or point out another template you can get your own favourite default configuration. If you rightclick in the track-pane in MusE you will see the track types that MusE uses. Audio track types are: - wave track - input - output - aux - group and of course softsynths. The only ones that access the outside world, jack, are input and output tracks. If you create a softsynth it's output, accessed through the [oR] button on the mixer-strip, should by default be set to the first output track, which also should by default be connected to the first outputs of your soundcard. -- Short test: - Fire up muse - right click and select Add Synth->Mess->Organ - right click again and create a midi track **by default this midi track should already be set to use the organ as midi-device (it's the first created midi device) - chose the pencil tool (d on keyboard, or menu) and draw a part on the midi track - with the part selected, it should be at this point, press Ctrl+E to bring up pianoroll - click with the mouse on the virtual piano, there should be organ sound coming out. I should make a video walkthrough of that :-) If this didn't work I am very curious to where it goes wrong. Notice that if you have an external keyboard it won't work at this point, you need to connect it using Configuration->Midi ports / Soft Synths (if I recall the names correctly, I've got localized menus at the moment) Regards, Robert
