Atte - now you have been on Bandcamp http://music.modlys.dk/ for a while I wondered if you would comment on how well you think it has worked. Have you had more downloads? Did you get donations? What, if anything, has not gone so well? regards, Garry.

Blues music trivia question

by Stephen Stubbs

Question: Can you name any American White person (male or female), who grew up within 100 miles of the Mississippi River, and put out a record in that region (doing the recording in New York City for example, doesn't count), before the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Please name the artist, the record title, and the date of release. Thank you, Stephen.

Regional Influences on Music

Teza: If there was more to this post I never saw it. Please resend to me.

Cape Girardeau (French word), Missouri (Native-American), was founded by French fur traders. So was St Louis, Missouri. There is a lot of French settlement throughout the Midwest, which can be verified by the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Purchase It's not just the Cajuns who settled near The Big Muddy (Mississippi River) and left their mark on the local culture. :) I don't consume alcohol in any of its varieties. But listening to the local wine connoisseurs, they make a big deal out of French Bordeaux vs California Bordeaux vs St James, Missouri, Bordeaux, etc. To an a wine ignorant person like me, it seems that you can take the same grape vines and transport them to a different location; but you don't get the same tasting wine from all the different locations. Why is that? And the connoisseurs will start explaining about soil conditions, sun light conditions, and many other factors that make up the regional differences. I propose there is something like that going on with blues music. Chicago blues is different from St. Louis blues, is different from Memphis blues, is different from New Orleans blues. And this may seem strange to someone not from this region, given that all of these towns are on the banks of The Big Muddy. I propose that just as in the case of wine, music is strongly influenced by the local climate conditions. Which is why my compliment to Teza is so strong. I suspected Teza did not grow up near The Big Muddy. Teza has since confirmed that he is living in Paris, France. As a person living 1/3 of the globe away from my local region, I am very impressed that Teza was able to capture the spirit and ambiance of music that is so strongly impacted by the 90/90 local weather conditions (that means summer days which are 90+degrees Farenheit with 90+% relative humidty), mosquitoes, tornadoes, poverty, black gumbo clay, and picking/deseeding cotton by hand. (I'm now referring to the blues coming from St. Louis and the towns downstream to the Gulf of Mexico.) Teza, I think you understood my compliment in the spirit it was given. You're welcome. But may I suggest that you don't refer to yourself as a frog, froggie, etc. If you are a Frenchman, then you are a Frenchman. Personally, I have never liked being referred to as a Yankee by foreign nationals. Of course that may have something to do with the fact that Missouri was one of the 4 border states that sent military regiments to both the South and to the North during the War Between the States, or the Civil War if you happen to come from a town north of the Mason-Dixon line. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason-Dixon_Line Best, Stephen.

I agree with you about things you mentioned. Till now I mostly used it for fun and not in real production so I didn't came upon these problems. But it is still in very early stage of development so.. I started writing it as a standalone JACK client because I wanted to write it as soon as possible without messing up with specifications. I just took some code from Faust project that instantly gave me GUI and JACK interface. I have actually already started porting it to LV2 (if started can be described as started reading LV2 documentation :)). It will take a some time to release it because of some other things I have to do in next few days. BTW it saves the settings on quitting (at least for the last closed instance) :D About gain and automatic connecting to ins/outs... Both are actually leftovers from debugging. It was simpler for me to just run it and not to mess up with wiring too. Gain is not in dB. It is actual amplification. Igor

No more PCI!

by toby＠tobiah.org

I bought a computer online, and didn't realize that it had no PCI slots. If I keep this computer, I lose my beloved Echo Mia Midi. I need stereo analog and RCA S/PDIF IO, and midi would be nice but not essential. So, what Linux Friendly PCIE, USB, or Firewire (PCIE first choice) interface is out there with those features for say < $200? Thanks, Tobiah

Anyone testing the new TerminatorX release?

by gerald mwangi

Hi, Has anyone tested TerminatorX 3.83pre? Gerald >Hi guys, I'm proud to announce Terminator 3.83pre for testing (http://www.set-germany.org/TerminatorX/terminatorX-3.83pre.tar.gz). >Changes: support for rubberband, filehandling exclusively through sndfile, some bugs fixed and i hope none introduced :) >Rubberband is used for timestretching the samples. Each turntable has now an extra 'tempo' knob to stretch/shrink the sample without change of pitch. >Furthermore a tempo sync option was introduced to sync clients tempo to that of the master: Select a master -> Select one or more clients -> Press >play (load some samples before ) and turn the master tempo knob and note the automatic change of the tempo of the clients. >Note that the tempo is actually just the stretch factor of the entire sample since the samples aren't analized for their transients (that's the next feature!). >To simplify the code, i decided to rely totaly on sndfile (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/). That means only the formats understood by sndfile are >supported. >I tried to contact Alexander König, but he hasn't answered.

removing hiss from samples

by Atte André Jensen

Hi I'm building a piano from the MIS samples, and there seems to be quite a lot of hiss, esp in the pp samples. I remember years ago when I used the windows sample editor "sound forge", that it had a pretty good noise removal feature. You could provide a sample of only noise and have it analyze this for even better removal. But now it's today, and we're on linux, what good possibilities are there for removing hiss from a lot of samples. Something command line driven would be cool, there are 260 piano samples... -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk
