[ANN] KMid2 0.2.1 released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

KMid2 is a MIDI/Karaoke player for KDE4. It runs in Linux, using the ALSA Sequencer. KMid2 plays MIDI and karaoke files to hardware MIDI devices or software synthesizers. It supports playlists, MIDI mappers, tempo (speed), volume and pitch (transpose) controls and configurable character encoding, font and color for lyrics. The graphic views include a rhythm view (visual metronome), a channels window with solo/muting controls and instrument selectors, and a piano player window (Pianola). Changes for this release: * Automatic detection of text encodings for lyrics * Get channel labels from SMF metadata (track names) * Pianola window: added labels showing the channel names * Check the runtime ALSA driver version for advanced MIDI ports * Patch from Kevin Kofler adding a "pulseaudio" option for TiMidity++ * Fixed a memory leak * Fixed command line play lists handling * Fixed settings dialog: soft-synth audio output combos and apply button More info: http://userbase.kde.org/KMid2 Copyright (C) 2009-2010, Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas KMid2 is free software distributed under the terms of the GPL v2 license.

GPX2 and Linux Audio?

by Ken Restivo

So, one of the things that fell out of the recent clusterfudge about censoring mailing lists, is someone pointed to a post about the GP2X as a linux synth platform. Has anyone actually used the GP2X as a Linux synth? Got jackd and fluidsynth or any other synths running on it? Got USB host mode going to run an external audio interface? -ken

Tangerine Dream

by lanas

Hello all, With all the Linux audio tools around, is there a way to have the type of sequences/arpeggios like Tangerine Dream was using ? A simple example would be ZynAddSubFx's 'Sequence 2' patch. I wonder how Tangerine Dream were doing these sequences and arpeggios. Like for instance the beautiful sequenced synth right after the piano intro on 'Ricochet'. In those times they surely did not have powerful sequencers to store all of these for live concerts. They must have relied on some programmable arpeggio type of function. Is there a way to have such a flexibility to create similar things in Linux and if so, which tools ? Thanks.

QMidiArp

by Leslie P. Polzer

The ongoing discussion about Tangerine Dream has piqued my interest in QMidiArp. But I don't understand how to use it. I presume it must be wired like this (using QSynth as synth engine): Soundcard MIDI > QMidiArp > QSynth But what's the next step? Is there some documentation? Leslie

linuxsampler plugin ?

by Dave Phillips

Greetings, I'm testing the Linuxsampler plugin with Ardour3 SVN. The plugin loads correctly, and when I launch the Fantasia GUI it identifies itself correctly in the interface. I can load a MIDI file in A3 and watch it play the keyboard on the LS plugin. Everything looks good, but there's no sound. There's also no instance of Linuxsampler in QJackCtl. When I run LS + Fantasia standalone I noticed that it doesn't autoconnect to JACK. Perhaps this is the problem, but I can't find where to configure LS to autoconnect. Any suggestions ? This is a low-priority issue for me, but it'd be nice to figure out what's happening. Best, dp

gentoo pain

by james morris

I've started trying to get a RT pre-empt system using Gentoo. It's painful. Spent most of my time so far just trying to boot a custom kernel which I had zero problems with in Debian. Is the pro_audio overlay any good? does it have the latest s/w? Before I built a custom 2.6.31-rt20 kernel, I used the pro_audio overlay to get rt-sources which gave 2.6.16 which seems ancient. Would anyone actually recommend gentoo for setting up an RT audio system?

wanna hear something out of the ordinary?

by Atte André Jensen

Hi I just spoke with Dave Griffith, regarding some (now fixed) build issues with his extraordinary software, fastbreeder. He mentioned that he believed I was the only user (have been using it for some years now), besides himself and I really feel that is a pity, hence this mail. So those of you who are looking for another way of generating new noises, should really check out fastbreeder. It's operation is dead simple. The window is seperated in four, each containting a sound. Left-click will audition the sound, right-click will "breed" similar sounds in the other three windows, middle-click starts with four random sounds. You can naturally sample the sounds you like since fastbreeder is jack-enabled. But you can also save the "source" of a sound, allowing you to open it again and breed on. How does it sounds? Dave hit's it right on on the web page: "Lets just say I haven't been using it to evolve the perfect piano sound." :-) http://www.pawfal.org/Software/fastbreeder/ -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk
