Hi friends,
Just wanted to share this amazing video of a c64 doing realtime
effects that has been passing through the interweb today.
The effects are quite spectacular for a machine that old and limited
but I think perhaps the most amazing thing is that they managed to
compress 2 minutes worth of Tom's Diner into 26kb of data, if I read
the the white paper correctly.
A video demonstration here:

A white paper here:
http://www.livet.se/mahoney/c64-files/Cubase64_White_Paper_by_Pex_Mahoney_T…
Have only skimmed it yet but looks very interesting.
Ofcourse there is always the chance this is a hoax but I sure hope not :)
Regards,
Robert
Hi, all!
I have m-audio firewire solo, jackdmp 1.9.6 and libffado 2.0.1.
Soundcard have 2 output pairs in jack.
dev0_LineOut L_out
dev0_LineOut R_out
dev0_SpdifOut L_out
dev0_SpdifOut R_out
Recently, all jack compatible software was plugged to LineOut by
default, but since last firewire and jackd updates the default output
became SpdifOut.
How can I change default output in my case?

This may be old news, but today I successfully recorded a beautiful
stereo recording via USB, using the Digigram UAX220 interface.
The unit is truly professional and shows up instantly in Audacity I have
on Ubuntu Lucid (10.04). My laptop is a ThinkPad Z61m 2GHz, 1GB ram.
Bu the way, the UAX220 turned as instantly up in Mac OS on an iMac...

Hello all,
Installed Yoshimi Black Belt Edition 0.061-pre7 today.
Compilation and installation went fine, but loading any instrument
produces either a segfault or something similar to:
*** glibc detected *** yoshimibb: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x08e1bae0 ***

There are three of them, and Alleline.
My imitation ipod plays oggs. They all seemed to be tagged correctly,
but some always showed up as Unknown Artist etc.
Couldn't figure it out till I looked at the tags with vorbiscomment.
THe only difference was that the 'Unknown' files had tagnames in lower
case, like title=badum-badum. Known files had TITLE=etc.
Here's a short script to fix this up, and add discnumber tag for good
measure (which my player seem to need)
#! /bin/bash
# capitalise tag names on today's ogg files
# add discnumber tag if not already there
for ogg in $(find . -mtime -1 -name '*.ogg'); do
vorbiscomment -l $ogg | sed 's/.*=/\U&/g' > "$1{1%%.ogg}.tag"
if [ `grep -c DISCNUMBER $1{1%%.ogg}.tag` -eq 0 ]
then
echo "DISCNUMBER=1" >> "$1{1%%.ogg}.tag"
fi
vorbiscomment -w -c "$1{1%%.ogg}.tag" $ogg
rm -f "$1{1%%.ogg}.tag"
done
The discnumber tag could be added with vorbiscomment's -a flag, but oh
well...
I got the temporary file bit from some guy on the Arch forums, so thanks
whoever you are.

Or remove spaces from all filenames. Why would one want spaces in filenames anyway ?
To me it feels a bit like putting spaces in variable names, which isn't a good idea either.

Im looking for some cheap keyboard musical with usb, and i found the Casio
LK 220 KT in my city.
More info
http://www.casio.com/products/archive/Musical_Instruments/Lighted_Keys/LK-2…
My objetive is work Keyboard + Jack Connection Kit, using synth soft like
Zynaddsubfx, Bristol and Wsynth.
For this ambicious idea i think in Casio (there are many shops selling cheap
this manufacturer in my country )
My doubt: Is Casio LK 220 supported by Linux, will work ? I dont wanna waste
my money and not run in Linux :(
So, If someone enlighten me, I would be very grateful.
Regards

Change-log:
- While moving multi-selected MIDI events around the clip editor (aka
piano-roll), with help of keyboard arrow keys, that is, was not clear
which one was the so-called "anchor" event, the one which positioning
gets honored for snap-to-beat business. Not anymore: the anchor event
now defaults to the earliest in time or the one the user's last
point(-click)ed.
- MIDI control observer pattern implementation has sneaked in, making it
ready for the so-called and long-awaited "MIDI Learn" feature and
arbitrary MIDI controller assignment, for plugin parameters in particular.
- MMC DEFERRED PLAY doesn't cause transport state to stop if currently
rolling (mitigating bug #3067264).
- Audio clip merge processing might have been skipping a few initial
frame blocks, now fixed.
- Clip selection and plugin parameter hash optimization.
- Anti-glitch audio clip macro fade-in/out fixed again.
- New clip fade-in/out slopes (curves) are introduced, partially adapted
and refactored from those easing equations of Robert Penner's fame.
- Clip fade-in/out non-linear slopes are now shown as actual WYSIWYG curves.
- Escape key now closes generic plugin widgets as ever found usual
elsewhere.
- Picking nits: unselect current track when clicking on any gray empty
area, also accessible from a new menu item: Track/Navigate/None.
- A nasty and deadly MIDI resolution overflow has been finally fixed,
allowing for long MIDI sequences (1h+) to load correctly on 32bit
machines from now on (was perfectly fine on 64bit though).
- MIDI editor selection hash optimization in face of reasonably huge
event sequences.
- MIDI controller mapping finally refactored to support some other MIDI
event types than just CC (0xBn) ones.
- Nitpicking fix: corrected main track-list (left pane) display when no
track is currently selected.
- libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase, as seen
necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13, Debian 6. (fixing
bug #3050944).
- New audio metronome bar and beat sample gain options.
- Progressively, the observer pattern is being finally introduced,
targeting all potentially automation controls and widgets as plain
ground-zero for the (ultra-)long overdue automation feature.
- MIDI controller mapping of still non-existing tracks were being
implicitly assigned to the last, highly numbered, existing track. Now fixed.
- Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling into
regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
- Muting/soloing tracks while playback is looping was leaving current
audio clip out-of-sync whenever that same track is later un-muted on any
other preceding clip. Now hopefully fixed.
- MIDI Clock support makes its first appearance.
- All tempo (BPM) calculations are now compliant to the MIDI
conventional equivalence between beat and quarter note (1/4, crotchet)
as common standard time division.
- Automatic audio time-stretch option is not enabled by default anymore.
- Standard warning Apply button is now only shown when dismissing dialog
changes are actually valid.
- Make sure non-dedicated metronome and player buses are properly reset
and reopen when changing regular audio buses (hopefully fixing bug item
#3021645 - Crash after changing audio bus).
- Hopefully, an outrageously old bug got squashed away, which was
causing random impromptu crashes, most often when importing audio clips
while looping and play-head is any near the loop end point.
- General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
- Fixed main track view off-limits play-head positioning.
- Main tool-bar Time and Tempo spin-boxes, may now have their colors
correct, as for most non-Qt based theme engines (ie. Gnome). Green text
on black background has been and still is the the intended aspect design ;)
- MIDI file import and internal sequence representation has been changed
to be inclusive on all bank-select (CC#0,32) and program-change events
which were previously discarded while honoring MIDI track properties.
Interleaved SysEx events are now also preserved on their original
sequence positions instead of squashing a duplicate into the MIDI bus
SysEx setup.
- Attempt to include the VeSTige header by default, as for minimal VST
plugin support.
- JACK transport support has been slightly rewritten, in fact the sync
callback is now in effect for repositioning.
- The MIDI clip editor (piano roll) widget won't be flagged as a tool
window anymore.
- A tempo adjustment tool is making inroads from the menu, as
Edit/Clip/Tempo... (factory shortcut: F7).
- Audio tracks auto-monitoring is now effective on playback.
- Make sure to ask whether a dirty MIDI clip should be saved, upon
resizing or stretching its edges (fixes bug #3017723).
- Backward and Forward transport commands are now taking additional
stops on loop points.
- Attempt to optimize track solo/mute redundant transactions, in special
regard to MIDI track events which were being duplicated on soloing and
temporarily muted on unsoloing.
Cheers && Enjoy (be happy!)

Keep on rocking!
The MusE team
Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events 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.
Changes
* Option to represent MIDI velocity as highlight color tint
* Tool shortcuts, with a shortcuts editor dialog borrowed from Qtractor
* Language menu, allowing to select and change languages on the fly
* New "About Translation" dialog. Linux translation files moved to the program
data directory
* Fixed knobs and sliders tool-tip positions
* Allow to trigger defined but hidden keys
* Process incoming controller events: all sounds/notes off, and reset
controllers.
* Translations updated
