Hello,
We’re proud to release the Tryphon StreamBox, a plug and play box
dedicated to audio streams creation. The device is fully based on free
software : a GNU/Linux kernel, a customized Debian, Darkice, Apache,
Ruby On Rails, etc. The Tryphon StreamBox software set, including it’s
web user interface, is released under GPL. Everything is packaged into a
quiet rackmount 1U with low-power Atom processor.
The product is described on our site : http://bit.ly/tryphon-streambox-m1
Thanks to the linux audio community for its creativity and the quality
of its softwares !
Regards,

Hey all,
Anyone know of any linux synths out there that combine samples with
synthesis? I was thinking sort of like Sequential Circuit's Prophet VS?
Thanks,
Andrew.
Hello. Approximately a month ago I made this little tool. By sight it works like festige with fst, but sources lifetime is not bound to their creator (GUI tool). Thing about this tool as a special launch panel. Each runing source creates its own icon at system tray, which shows its name at tooltip and terminates when clicked. LASH is supported through lashwrap.
Also, it is possible to save scripts, that doesn't require any staff from this tool (only lashwrap, if used). Of course, there is some things to be enhanced... :)
Internalls.
It is small set of bash scripts, using gtkdialog and zenity to show interface.

I made this tool because could not find something similar. May be I searched badly?
Somebody made me attend on this list, specializing in sound problems.
I write music semi-professionally and therefore have to use Finale,
which is Windows only. I have installed Vmware where Windows XP is
running as a guest and there I run Finale.
The sound produced by any sound application in Windows is "stuttering"
and distorted and quite unusable.
System: AMD Phenom II (4-core, 2.4 GHz)) 4GB mem; Ubuntu Karmic.
Sound is OK in Karmic (flash video's no problem, CD's no problem).
Vmware : soundcard : autodetect. I have tried other possibilities but
none worked better.
I suspect pulse-audio, which I think is not a good development as I
prefer good old ALSA without "embellishments". However, audacity, which
I use regularly in Linux works without a problem.
Can anybody give me some help to solve this problem as it is rather
urgent and I don't want a system with Windows only.
I hope somebody can help me out.

Hello all,
Today I installed SC3 and SwingOSC from source (both are
AUR packakges).
Everything works, except:
- The SCLang menu in emacs remains empty.
- Help doesn't work (doesn't seem to find anything, even
if the files are there).
OTOH, sclang-* commands with M-x in emacs do work, as do
the function keys I defined (see below).
I guess I'm missing some path or something similar.
In ~/.emacs I have:
(setq sclang-help-directory "/usr/share/SuperCollider/Help")
(require 'sclang)
(global-set-key [f5] 'mark-sexp)
(global-set-key [f6] 'sclang-eval-region-or-line)
(global-set-key [f7] 'sclang-find-help)
(global-set-key [f8] 'sclang-show-post-buffer)
(global-set-key [S-f8] 'sclang-clear-post-buffer)
In ~/.sclang.cfg I have:
GUI.swing;
SwingOSC.java = "/opt/java/jre/bin/java";
SwingOSC.program = ("/usr/bin/SwingOSC.jar").standardizePath;
SwingOSC.default.boot;
+/usr/share/SuperCollider/SCClassLibrary
+/usr/share/SuperCollider/Extensions
# in case you don't want to use add-on libraries, uncomment as necessary

#-/usr/share/SuperCollider/SCClassLibrary/JITLib

O tu, che porte, correndo si ?

I've been using Mandriva for a very long time now, as it's been good
to me for audio work. But, they are having financial troubles and
looking to be bought out. Maybe they'll survive that, and maybe they
won't. At some point I might want to change distributions. My two
initial choices for something to look at would be:
- PCLinuxOS, for it's similarity to and roots in Mandriva
- Fedora, as CCRMA enhancements for sound are targeted at Fedora
My 3 audio primary audio uses are:
- Ardour with high-end cards and low latency
- Audacity
- Amarok
I also listen to and convert WMA and Apple audio files into open
formats, so PLF (Penguin Liberation Front) packages for Mandriva
have been wonderful. If a distro won't serve my audio needs, then
it's not usable by me.
Of course, whatever distro I choose must do all the usual
home/office stuff, and be able to help my kids with schoolwork at
least as well as Mandriva has.
I downloaded both of these distros and will be trying them when I
get time. Does anyone have any advice as I go into this?
Thanks....

Hi,
This is not specifically about LAU stuff, at the first level
anyway, but it could be one of these days maybe.
Mostly for fun and to keep my old brain exercised I'm playing with
coding a DSP multiband equalizer. The thing basically works, actually
works pretty well with more or less steady state data, but it doesn't
look at all good with big transients mostly due to ringing in my lower
range band pass filters.
Does anyone know of any reasonably simple papers talking about
sorting out this sort of design problem?
I suspect someone like Steve Harris has forgotten more than I'll
ever know about subject like this but I'm not sure he's here anymore.
Maybe there's someone else who's available to talk to me off list?
Thanks,
Mark
Here's a patch for compiling guitarix-0.08.0 on openSUSE-11.0 with
gtk-2.12.9 and gcc-4.3.1.
It compiles and works for the light testing I've done.
cd to the guitarix-0.08.0 source directory and run 'zcat
<path-to>/GUITARIX-0.08.0-GTK2.12-Fix.patch.gz | patch -p1' before
running './waf configure'
