Hi all,
This is probably a dumb question, but is there a way to extract sound
fonts from (for example) a Korg keyboard? I like the sheer range of
sounds my Korg has, but would like to record in MIDI rather than as
audio for ease of editing. Once its in MIDI it would be convenient to
have the Korg's sound fonts available on my machine so I wouldn't need
the Korg around to playback.
I'm guessing it probably can't be done, but figure it can't hurt to ask.
Thanks.
Well, here it is, it took a little longer than expected, mostly do to
school work. As I reported earlier I ditched the giga format and went
for sfz, you will need linuxsampler cvs to load the sfz file. I do not
know of any other sampler for linux that can load sfz. The library also
contains pedal action noise samples, these are also in the sfz file but
linux sampler don't have the opcodes(on_hi/loCC#) to play them yet so I
have not optimized the volume on these yet. They are located on the
bottom of the sfz file.
Enjoy! and feel free to mirror it where ever you like!

Hi list,
My friends who I recorded using 100% FLOSS this past winter/spring
finally 'released' the recording on their MySpace page:
http://www.myspace.com/amplifiersmakenoise
"Formations" is the highlight from a songwriting perspective, in my
opinion (though we achieved some pretty huge drum sounds on
"Redemption Song").
Recorded/mixed/mastered with Jack1, Ardour, SWH, CAPS, TAP, Invada,
JConvolver, Jamin -- and probably others I'm forgetting -- on an Arch
Linux box. Thanks devs, for all the great tools!

Hi list!
Just wondering if anyone here has had any success or experience
controlling specimen (say the volume and pan sliders for example) via
MIDI cc as I've not been able to find any documentation on this aspect
of the app. What controller numbers control what? Is it possible to
set the controller numbers for different parameters without adjusting
the source and recompiling?
I realise linuxsampler supports lv2 but most of the time I don't need
the luxury of gigasampler files (I don't have any- yet) and to be
honest I'd prefer something more like specimen but as an LV2 plugin.
Is anyone already working on such an app?
Thanks!
Dan
Hi LAU friends!
I've almost finished (bass traps and other acoustic treatment remains)
building my little home studio and of course: every software is all Linux. The
rooms small size (3.00m x 3.40m = 10.2 m²) makes it lesser than ideal when it
comes to acoustics but the room's sound is great so I don't really worry to
much about it under the circumstances.
When I'm done with bass traps and foam materials, then it's time for the final
corrections as far as it goes. I do have a full two channel 1/3 octave EQ
(Phonics PEQ 3600 2 x 31) that can do very much, how can Linux help me to do
the right sound here?
Ken Restivo used Jconv when mixing and emulating different rooms and
situations. And it sounds to me as a very good solution and leaves two
questions:
1: How do one measure and flattern out the room'm and monitor's
frequency curve with Linux. Do one use pink noise or a sinus
sweep or perhaps both? I have two mikes which is probably good
enough for this, but how do I do it and which SW?
2: How do I emulate "the perfect" studio and other situations with
the help of Jconv?
I'm not surprised if it all ends up with Fons only solutions here, but can
someone with experience with this help me getting thru this in some not to
difficult steps? I hope I have describes what I want in an understandable way.
Thanks, Jostein
Hi all,
I've acquired a pair of wireless headphones; the type thathas a USB
dongle that plus into amy machine and uses analog FM to communicate
with the headphones.
These JustWorked(tm) under linux, but now I'd like to have audio
(either PulseAudio or ALSA) auto switch to the headphones whenever
they are plugged in.
Is this doable? Any hints?
Cheers,
Erik

Hi,
sorry, just realized that the hammond discussion mentioned below was here and
not at LAD, so please allow this kind of "crosspost":
this is my first post to LAD. The discussion about a hammond simulation "Fons
could you make us...", Beatrix and some research for writing a (german)
wikipedia article (stub) about the Vox Continental inspired me to hack a quick
organ program that simulates the internal signal flow of the "Connie" with JACK
MIDI input and JACK audio output.
Have fun:

A friend of mine was telling me how he listens to his speech podcasts
on his iPod at faster than natural playback speeds. I'd like to do
this with an audio file player which can do the same on Linux. Which
one(s) should I investigate? Of course, I want the original pitch at
any playback speed.
Thanks....

Hello everyone, here's some new (as in new to the internet, the
mastering was finished before christmas...) music from me. Not done
completely in linux this time, actually pretty far from it:
Drums were recorded in a professional studio on Windows and Cubase,
along with any rhythm guitar we had time for that weekend after
drumming was done. We also did mixing and mastering here. Bass was
probably recorded in Windows too, but I was not involved in that.
Female vocals, accordion and acoustic guitars were recorded at my
father's Mac with Pro Tools. Simply because I had to borrow those
instruments from him, the vocalist is my sister, and I live in a
completely different city.
The rest was recorded at home on my linux box with Ardour.
It's a slow type of doom / rock / metal, mostly instrumental, trying
to evoke the many moods you can get in when you get homesick and are
far away from home. Check it out at http://hjemlengsel.bandcamp.com
Regards,
Arve
