zyn and the art of software maintenance

by cal

A while back I floated a theory or two on how to improve ZynAddSubFX' jack io. It has progressed to a fairly functional form, ie, no crackling, and it generally keeps up with proceedings fairly well. Thanks in no small part to the outstanding debugging efforts of James Morris, most (if not all) of the accidental "colourations" to the generated sound seem to have been resolved. And the jack midi implementation no longer destroys the entire goal of jack midi. I thought that was important. Snapshot tarball at <http://www.graggrag.com/?q=node/19> for those interested. Mark, if you're thinking of integrating the jack driver, I reckon this is probably as good as I'm going to get it :-). cheers, Cal

[ANN] QXGEdit 0.0.1 released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Ten years after, nothing to do with Alvin Lee's but one by-product of this über-procrastinator of yours truly :) here goes one more strike to the Linux Audio ecosystem. Rather an almost forgotten niche nowadays, I cannot let this rot in my hard disk. There it is, a XG Editor for the masses, at least the ones who love gems like the Yamaha DB50XG [3], a precious old piece of hardware that I do strive and joy (pun intended). If, by this time you don't have the slightest idea of what I'm talking about [4], move on, there's nothing to see here. This is strictly pure nineties memorabilia but one of the finest pieces of junk you could rig into a PC and turn it on a full-fledged rave machine. Do you remember the days? Awe my 8) Now that you're following in tune (probably you already googled around) you may reckon that XGEdit95 and XG-Gold are two fine examples of the same subject. More than fine, both do excel in their purpose. There were the high times of shareware (I've told you before, this is memorabilia:) ... yeah right. Enter QXGEdit. While both of the former may drink the young wine [5] just fine, it has been my prerogative doing things my own way. Linux straight. How could it be any other way? Truth is, this bastard has been slugging on my attic far too long, but this late summer it has revived to a new life. Time to bring it down and share. Provided theres still enough interest on the scene ;) QXGEdit 0.0.1 released!

FW: looping with jack

by Lieven Moors

From: lievenmoors(a)hotmail.com To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu Subject: Re: [LAU] looping with jack Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:00:40 +0200 "So, I think what the OP is wanting is loop-synchronization without forcing the transport to relocate. So, synchronization requires some manner of time-line "smarts." This is what I meant. As I said before, Seq24 seems to do this. When in pattern mode, Seq24 loops patterns in sync with JACK, but doesn't relocate JACK. This makes it possible to let ardour run linearly while Seq24 loops. I am wondering if something like that would be possible in ardour (or any other audio sequencer for that matter). Ardour loops just fine when synced internally, so I guess it's the JACK transport relocation that makes it slow.

Wine + Firefox + Flash == No Audio with ALSA

by Ken Restivo

I've successfully gotten Firefox to run on Wine with Adobe Flash (presumably so that I can actually see people's websites, and listen to their music. Sheesh.). This is on a 32-bit system. But no sound. WineCfg seems to think that the only drivers available are dmix, but I don't have dmix configured, or running, and I do NOT want dmix at all! http://portaserver.restivo.org/kens/dmix0.png I use this system for JACK audio, so I don't want crap mixing happening in ALSA adding latency. I'm fine with shutting down JACK in order to surf on Windoze, for those times when I actually need it. I do NOT want to have to run a soundserver like ESD, which is what a lot of the advice on Das Internets seems to say to do. So I want Wine/Firefox to just use the direct access to the ALSA card. My .asoundrc is empty, which is kind of how I like it. In Googling around, I found advice to add this to my .asoundrc: pcm.dmix0 { type plug slave.pcm "hw:0,0" } Seems like it'd be a neat way to force Wine to do what I want, without having to do what it wants. I tried it, though, and nothing. -ken

Boss GT-n pedal board editor/librarian

by Dave Phillips

Greetings, I'm going to profile this software in LJ soon but I thought LAUyers might like to know about now: http://gtx.tinfoilmusic.net/ Very neat stuff. I tested it with my guitarist's GT-3, it's fantastic. Considering that you can get a used GT for ~$100 - 150, you can buy one, download this (libre, GPL'd) software, and you're ~$200 better off than if you'd purchased Guitar Rig 3 (and had to run it under Wine). ;) <---- (That's a humor sign, just in case.) Btw, the software is available for the GT-3/6/8/10/Pro and the 6b/10b versions for the bass guitar. Kudos to Colin Willcocks for an impressive job well done. Best, dp

looping with jack

by Lieven Moors

Hi everybody, This question might seem a little bit strange, but I was wondering if there is any audio sequencer capable of playing in loop without forcing JACK to relocate. I get this kind of behaviour with seq24, when it runs in pattern mode. I would like to combine a traditional audio sequencer that loops, with one that doesn't. I managed to simulate this with two ardour sessions, that are both synced internally, and started with MMC. But it would be nice if they could be run in sync with JACK. I would be grateful for any ideas on this, even if they would involve some serious hacking. Greetings, Lieven
