Hi,
LAC2010 some thoughts:
Great organization and kudos for Marc and others for getting this
conference to The Netherlands. The advantage of having this conference
in a different country each year, is that more different people are able
to join and get enthusiastic.
The disadvantage of having one LAC each year on one continent is that
most people are from Europe, a few from USA. You could think of having
one LAC conference in Europe and one in USA.
I've spoken to a lot of kind, special and smart people on LAC, that was
great.
I've been inspired by art projects like those of Marije and I saw how
interesting the combination of technology, computers and art can be.
The live performances where great. I especially liked the piece of
Fernando.
All the performance where 'experimental music' or livecoding. As
mentioned in the 'future of LAC meeting' I would like to see more Jazz,
Rock etc.
Also most people I met on LAC where developers, I'd like to see more
users and more workshops like the ones from Lieven, Jorn and the
beginners workshop Supercollider from Marije and others.
I agree though that the main goal of LAC should be for developers to
meet and present what they're doing. But once that goal is set firmly,
without discussion, I think there should also be more space and
interesting stuff for users. The mentioned alternatives for users like
Pixel festival and Creative Commons festivals, don't fill in the need
for the average Linux audio rocker imo. They are more aiming on
technology and art or has to little to do with Linux.
Maybe the users (LAU, LinuxMusicians, LinuxMAO etc.) should organize
their own festival and get their place on (or call it around) the
regular LAC to organize workshops and concerts.
Interesting was also the confrontation between the OSX users from HKU
and the open source advocates. In this I agree both with Fons (and
others) and Marc. The focus should be Linux audio and so we want to see
live music made on Linux. But I think it's also a good think to let
students arts meet open source software and let FLOSS developers meet
artists who like to make bread with their art.
Thanks again!

This is the first release of Jacker, a Tracker for Jack MIDI. Jacker
is the first building block in a series of small apps to come, all
built around Jack as a hub for audio production.
Jacker is meant to replace a core feature of Aldrin, namely the
sequencer and pattern editor. Jacker does not generate any audio, but
firmly relies on the Jack infrastructure for sound output. For a
slightly more detailed workflow, please visit the website.

I have packaged a source release. There is no installation mechanism,
but the application can be built and run from the source folder.
Compatibility and installation patches are welcome.
hey guys!
I am using Ubuntu 9.04. got yoshimi 0.056 source code.
During ccmake .
I get this:

fltk dev files are installed but it doesn't seem to help.
During make I get this:

Hi
When doing connections in seq24 the list of available alsa clients is
based on client id. This is impractical, since those are bound to change
from session to session (for instance race conditions make the first app
alive get the lowest client id). It should be solved by using client
*names* instead (like "ams --name" or "specimen --name").
So, how do I get seq24 to make alsa MIDI connections based on client
*names* and not client id?

Hiya,

I agree. I was a bit apprehensive by my programming this year because that
contained quite a bit more rhythm and melody than last year IIRC but it seems
that most of the crowd enjoyed it and some even danced.
Have you been at SJU on Monday ? Several performances there contained a
substantial amount of 4-beat bars, repetition, melody and other sound that
I recognise as music :-)
Change comes in steps. Hopefully we'll get even more jazz, rock etc. next year.
I may even contribute to that since I'm looking forward to a year of NOT organising the LAC.
Cheers,
Marc
Hi,
I got an Edirol UA-101 USB 2 card, which is a good value/quality
multichannel card, thinking that it would be well linux supported. It
seems that it's the only one from the Edirol line with some problems.
Basically with Ubuntu 9.10 there was no support at all and only with
the latest ALSA (and latest ubuntu 10.04) playback and recording is
working. Recording is actually fine in all the channels etc. but
playback is chopped and clicky. I found from some LAD posts about a
year ago that it's a problem of the ALSA driver (or that they haven't
managed to reverse engineer it properly as they have no official
specs).
Anybody knows anything about the current state of the driver or any
fixes? I didn't manage to find anything more than that..
Cheers,
polarch
Hiya,
you probably know the sensation that being the host of a party you find that you've
been catering for everyone and hardly had time to participate in the conversations.
Now things are slowly returning to normal I looked at some of the LAC recordings
so see what I've missed during the conference and only now I see what a
great job the stream team have done.
So thanks guys (and girl)
Jörn, Christian, Florian, Frank, Raffaella, Herman, Marc-Olivier,
Robin, Thijs, Wouter, Luc, Emile and Ernst
for all the hard work !
Marc
Hi
Is it possible to start minicomputer and have it select a certain
preset, or better yet call it with an individual preset (not multi) to load?
Trying to put everything that belongs to a project into one folder, and
starting relevant apps from a bash script, and they should be ready to
play upon loading...

Hi all,
I wonder if there are any Open Source tools for learning
software-oriented DSP, most specifically designing filters?
I'm an EE but haven't done any real math in years. I just want to
fool around, write some equations, see the results in some sort of
frequency (filter characteristics) or time (impulse response) plots.
Does anything like that exist?
I started looking at Octave but it's clearly over-kill so I figured
I'd ask if there was a better platform?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi there Lougi,

>I have it. No change.
if you do have fltk-dev installed, maybe to see what's going on it would help to look where the fltk headers are.
On my system they are in /usr/include/FL .
Same on yours?
Regards
Frank
