Hi,
I just received the newsletter from modartt. The new Pianoteq version
include a native linux version. It works using alsa or Jack.
There is a demo available here:
http://www.pianoteq.com/try?file=pianoteq_linux_trial.zip
It's worth trying.

Dear,
The FFADO team is happy to announce the release of the second release
candidate for FFADO 2.0.
It has been 6 months since we released FFADO 2.0 Release Candidate 1,
and we have to admit that this is quite long. The usage statistics show
that about 300 people have been using RC1 in this period, and the good
news is that we did not get a lot of bug reports. Most of the reports
filed were related to crappy host controller hardware (most notably the
Ricoh controllers), which is something we unfortunately cannot fix. In
the mean time the remaining bug reports have been fixed, so here we are
again.
This release candidate contains a few reliability improvements and
bugfixes that should get some field testing before we can release the
official 2.0. I would therefore like to ask all users and packagers to
upgrade as soon as possible such that we can release sooner rather than
later. If we get to about 100 registered users without significant
significant bug reports I feel confident that we're good to go. So happy
testing!
To indicate that we're quite busy even though we don't put out a lot of
announcements let me give you a sneak preview of what is under
development for post-2.0 ...
First of all 2.1 will contain support for extra devices:
* The first device to take full advantage of our DICE platform
support will be the Focusrite Saffire PRO40. The platform based
audio and MIDI streaming is fully functional. The custom mixer
functionality is currently being alpha-tested.
* The DICE platform support also enables the basic use of the
TC Electronic Konnekt 8, 24D and Live. Support for these devices
is limited to streaming (no DSP effects). Currently it doesn't
look like the DSP is going to be supported any time soon.
* Support for the Behringer FCA-202 has been added.
* Support for the Stanton SCS.1 series is added. Support for both
the audio I/O as the HSS1394 control surface protocol has been
implemented, meaning that these devices are fully functional.
We keep on talking to several device vendors to increase our device
support, and we will most likely be announcing some new devices in the
near future.
The second major development is the move of the streaming infrastructure
to kernel space. Thanks to the Google Summer of Code and the Linux
Foundation, we have somebody working on this during the summer. A
kernel-space implementation will bring significant improvements with
respect to reliability and efficiency. Furthermore it will expose an
ALSA interface, meaning that the scope of FireWire audio is extended
significantly.
The following changes have been made:
* Various packaging improvements and cosmetic fixes.
* Improved the Edirol FA101 mixer
* While the streaming engine is running, prevent mixer changes that
result in aborted streaming
* Add status bar logging to the mixer window
* Install a service-file if possible
* Add command rate control for the Saffire devices to reduce the issues
with mixer actions messing up audio.
* Fix Terratec Phase88 mixer
* Implement mixer support for the MOTU UltraLite
* Improve mixer support for the MOTU 896HD
* Add a minimum for the packetsize parameter for very low
channel-count devices
* Fix handling of MIDI 2x and 3x mode
* Improve the jitter performance of the timestamping
* Reduce CPU usage
* Fix the bug that prevented jackd from exiting freewheeling mode
* Introduce transmit prebuffering to increase reliability with small
period sizes
* MOTU: Fix bug related to disabled (unused) audio channels
* Introduce support for driver parameters in the config file
* Ensure that the order specified in the specification string when
aggregating devices is honored.
* Ensure that libffado.so is properly versioned (SONAME) and installed
* Add a firmware version check for ECHO Fireworks based devices
* Add a firmware version check for Terratec Phase88 devices
* By default the library is compiled with debugging turned off
More information can be found here:

Hi Linux audio users,
I've released a new version of Nama, a multitrack recorder,
mixer and mastering application based on Ecasound. Nama is
implemented in Perl.
In brief, if you are interested in recording from the
console, or if you would like to work with Ecasound via GUI
with some added conveniences, Nama is for you. If you must
have a graphic waveform display, Nama is probably _not_ for
you.
A website with screenshots is at http://ecmdr.infogami.com .
I'd like to acknowledge the help I've received from Julien
Claassen. This latest version reflects many of his
suggestions and extensive testing.
Here are some of the newest features:
* Nama has a mastering mode based on the signal processing
network used by Jamin. In brief:
The mixed signal goes through an equalizer that feeds
signal paths for low, mid-range and high-frequency bands.
Each of these branches has a spatializer and compressor.
The branches join into a boost circuit with gain and limiter
controls before being output to JACK, a sound device
or a WAV file.
* Users can define and position audio regions using marks
and text commands.
* Virtual, read-only tracks (created by the link_track
command add choices in manipulating WAV files and incorporating
WAV files from other Nama projects.
MORE ABOUT NAMA
Nama adds abstractions for high-level control over Ecasound
including projects, tracks, buses, marks, a mixer
and persistent settings. Nama provides an optional GUI
(based on the Tk widget set) and an extensive command
language with a recursive-descent parser.
Features include:
* Recording and selecting among multiple WAV files for each track
* Mixdown and mastering functions, including an 'automix'
function that generates a normalized mixdown.
* Transparent operation with and without JACK.
Nama will automatically use your JACK server if available.
JACK clients can be specified for track inputs and auxiliary
sends.
* Full access to LADSPA plugins, including search and
parameter help
* Non destructive editing
* Small code base and feature set help ensure reliable recording
* Full documentation (man pages, command-line help)
* Easy to review Ecasound chain setups and other data for
diagnostic purposes
TEXT INTERFACE
Nama's text interface is perhaps the most complete user
interface available for multitrack recording, mixing and
mastering by console users under Linux. In brief, Nama
* Can be fully controlled by text commands
* Provides tab completion and help functions
* Executes Ecasound, shell, Perl, and internal commands
GUI
Nama's GUI cannot compare with Ardour, Audacity,
Rezound, Slab, etc. In particular Nama lacks a graphic
waveform display. (It is also plain to look at.)
What it does provide are:
* Sliders for all effects and plugins for which hinting is
available. Automatic log scaling.
* Pan and volume sliders for each track with buttons for mute,
unity-gain and pan-to-center.
QUICK START
To install:
cpan Tk Time::HiRes Audio::Ecasound::Multitrack
The executable is called 'nama'.
You will also need to have Ecasound installed, preferably
a recent version. Your LADSPA plugins and Ecasound presets
should be detected automatically.
I'll be pleased to hear any feedback.
Best regards,
Joel

Hello LAUs,
I would like to publish (online, of course!) my "very" old music
adventures, (and hopefully new ones, made under Linux), but in a
Feed/Blog/*cast style.
But after a short research i realized that (at least) RSS and Atom are
suboptimal for my (music) needs. Just look at the Item/Entry Elements:
http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification#hrelementsOfLtitemgthttp://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287#section-4.1.2
some additional Elements would be nice, like:
Cover
Recorded
Released
Album
Track
Length
etc...
and as a CC/FLOSS bonus -> Source :)
(as in source for the ogg/mp3 audio).
So, anyone know of a syndication format tailored for music ?
MfG
Andre "Osku" Schmidt
ps. or am i the only one with this itch ?

I'll get the herbs and incense.....
Why make things even more complicated?
And the enforced latency?
Why doesn't anyone ever mention this 'feature' of pulse?
Might be alright for some who want to play pop music on their pc, but
what about serious audio use?
We already have a professional server for audio and midi.
Why do the 'minority' who have the passion and determination to use
these tools for a living, have to compromise, yet again to satisfy
those who would prefer using mixed use boxes, instead of pure use rigs
that smack anything else in the OS world for performance? (I don't
have a CRAY installed in the shed, so ok, maybe one challenge us
fairly seriously....)
If this is in the works, then i ask the jack team to consider keeping
a 'pure' strain of jack going, for those of us who don't want to drink
the pulse koolaid, and all the hype that has gone with that, including
the pain of setting it up. (And don't tell me pulse is easier to fix
when it glitches, cos i'll be too busy laughing to reply. And i defy
you to tell me it doesn't glitch...)
I have the greatest of respect for the abilities, skills, and
generosity of linux devs, but let's be real here. If the take up of
jack audio and midi had been more enthusiastically embraced as a total
professional solution by app builders, then we wouldn't even be
considering this.
What's next?
Pulse midi in every distro by default ? So the minority who don't want
to use it have to traincrash their build just to remove the debris of
that too?
*choke*
Alex.

Hi all, I wondered if you could enlighten me on something I'm
experiencing every time I try to upgrade to jack 2.
In ardour, when running jack 2, it is impossible to move the playhead
by clicking in the timestrip at the top of the window like I'm used to
with jack 1. The only way to move the playhead seems to be by moving
to the start (pressing Home) and playing until I get to where I want
to be. Anyone else experienced this and have a fix?

Arve
Hi,
further to the discussion about MIDI apps:
I wrote to the author of horgand and gmorgan the other day (well, it's been a
while really that I did that) to ask him about the MIDI capabilities of these
applications.
He replied that he considers only stygmorgan as up-to-date project and his
other stuff is somewhat outdated.
stygmorgan is similar to horgand and gm in that it can play things via MIDI
and has got chord recognition and a sequencer as well, but it does not have
built-in support for FM creation of audio. Instead, it uses external devices
(like fluidsynth) for producing sound.
To me it seems that it could be well suited for what I need, but the manual is
in Spanish which I cannot understand ;-)
The author himself did not want to translate the manual into English (he said
that it was because he could not write in English well enough), but seemed to
welcome people who could do that for him. Maybe this is something that could
be done by someone on this list?
As with Beatrix it is not clear if horgand, gmorgan and stygmorgan are under
development at all...
horgand, gmorgan, stygmorgan can be found here:

Hi LAU,
Right now, I'm optimizing my system for audio work, and have experienced some
problems.
First, this is my system: Kubuntu 9.04 with 2.6.28-3-rt (noacpi nosmp (the
system freezes w/o nosmp, possible because of the nvidia x-driver)), jack
1.9.2 running on an Athlon64 X2 6400+, 3.2 GHz with 8 GB RAM and a MSI K9N SLI
Platinum MB. The Soundcard is a Delta 1010 from M-Audio. All in all, a decent
Audio HW I believe.
Normally, my DSP load varies from 1 to 2% when the Jack server runs without
other Jack enabled apps. ACPI is enabled on the MB and disabled as a kernel
parameter; but so far, so good.
Lately, I have tried to assign IRQ 9 (occupied by ACPI) to my 1010 card wo.
success (can't assign the PCI port to IRQ 9 in BIOS), it's always shared with
sata_nv, sata_nv and ohci_hcd:usb2 (from cat /proc/interrupts). What I now
tried is to just disable ACPI on the MB (from BIOS) in order to free IRQ9 and
it's now the funny things starts: now, the DSP load is from 0.0004% (very
rare, but typical down to aprox. 2%) and stays mostly up to around 38%!
I have done the usual work in /etc/security/limits.conf, and the indexing work
in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf in order to lock the 1010 to hw:1. Jack
priority is 70, frames 64, sample rate is 44100 and periods 2 (latency 2.9 -
earlier, I could reduce to 0.7 ms when needed w/o x-runs).
So what's up here? Why can't i separate the 1010 from the system? The 1010 is
sharing the IRQ with the HDs, that's nothing I want. Why the insane DSP load
when ACPI is off in BIOS?
The outputs of "cat /proc/interrupts" and "lspci" are at the end of this
posting.
Thanks,
Jostein

Hi Mark and Roberto!
Sorry for answering twice...
I couldn't find my first answer - the reason was, that I send it
privately only to the two of you... Sorry. I am posting back to the
list as I hope others can make use of your knowledge also!

I use linux since a long time - which doesn't mean that I know about
more than those parts I already had problems with :)
Who knows, maybe the information can be useful for others also? So
maybe a language understandable by people without too much experience
would be helpful?
On my old laptop I used planet CCRMA without any glitches or problems.
Then the network card was not supported anymore by linux and I finally
had to buy a new laptop: an IBM/Lenovo X60s.
On the latter one I never made sound work (without glitches)...
- Planet CCRMA didn't install (at least not when I bought the laptop,
didn't try since...)
- Debian (sid) with and without realtime kernel always has
glitches. I tried to shut down all services running on my
computer (there are lots of them), but it didn't change anything.
Sometimes sound works fine for some minutes, than there are regular
or irregular glitches every some seconds again...
I was never able to trace them down to some driver /
application / ...
- studio64 doesn't work either. The pattern of
glitches is different though :)
Unfortunately I don't have too much time to play around and only try
from time to time. I would like to work more in this field though :)
but unfortunately I have to do too many other things to survive...
