Ok, after some considerable time it's now in the first steps of having
consequences of user interactions...
Meaning, you can drag a blue square around and the events in the
pattern are sequenced into it (when you release the mouse button that
is). As you should by now know, the position of the events is
translated into pitch and velocity.
It's enough to play around with for a few minutes :)
I recommend Will J Godfrey's 'Sweep Saw' Zyn/Yoshi patch.
Try it out:
git clone git://github.com/jwm-art-net/BoxySeq.git && cd BoxySeq &&
make && ./boxyseq
Just don't expect too much. You cannot edit the pattern unless you're
willing to experiment with C code (lines 63 to 84 of main.c for event
pattern, lines 87 to 105 for boundary settings) and recompile and
restart the program.
you'll need jack, glib, and gtk development packages installed beforehand.
still very early days here.
Cheers,
James.
Hey all, after listening to Roberto Suarez Soto's track I thought I
should ask for some advice for my latest stuff too! :)
This is the first time i've recorded the drummer or my new bass so i'm
looking for hints. I'd like to get these tracks sounding really good.
At the moment i've just got the our first recordings, no studio magic
applied.

Drums are recorded using two condenser in recorderman config. All
recorded at the same time except the bass as we still don't have a
bassist and so i'm playing guitar and bass. :) Bass is recorded from
the line out of my bass amp into my sound card.
The guitars are a Rickenbacker 620/12 string, 650C and 4004 Laredo
bass. The ric bass is my latest purchase and i'm pretty excited with
it. :)
Any hints? How does it sound? Are the drums recorded ok? What would
you do with compression, reverb, EQ, anything else to these tracks?
Thanks
Loki
Hi LAU!
Instead of just turning dials and moving sliders randomly, I decided
it was time to actually learn how to do it properly and study sound
synthesis via bristol and yoshimi and the help of manuals and guides
(like the arp2600 user manual). To that I end I went looking for a
good oscilloscope that supports JACK yesterday and was very
disappointed to find out there isn't one, not one that I was content
with at least.
meterbridge has a scope but it has no display options and you can't
resize the window. The only other jack-supporting scope I found that I
got to work was ll-scope which required I run it through the
dssi-jack-host. This had a couple of limited display options but again
there was no option to resize the display/window. qoscc didn't want to
compile under lucid ("Don't know how to handle this Qt major version"
vs QT3- is it really a QT 2 or older app?) so I doubt it would work
under squeeze or other modern distros and xoscope doesn't support
JACK.
Seems like a fundamental, gaping hole needing to be filled in the
linux audio toolkit but hopefully there is a good one that is evading
me or someone may be able to explain how to compile qoscc under lucid?
I've already wrote to the xoscope author and requested he add JACK
support.
Thanks,
Dan
KMid is a MIDI/Karaoke player for KDE4 that runs in Linux, Windows and MacOSX.
KMid 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:
* New kmid_part. It is a KPart implementing KMediaPlayer interfaces. This
component can be integrated easily in any KDE program as a simple
ReadOnlyPart; for instance Konqueror can play MIDI files with it.
* New DBus interfaces org.kde.KMid and org.kde.KMidPart
* libkmidbackend has some new methods, soversion bumped to 1.0.0
* New and updated translations
* Assigned default shortcuts to keyboard media keys
* Fix in vumeter widget: drawing errors and CPU usage
* Fixes in all backends for initial MIDI program changes
* Fix in ALSA sequencer backend: bug 242912 (requires Drumstick >= 0.4)
Drumstick shared libraries v0.4.1 are recommended.

I'm just curious if something like this will work with Linux audio cards?

/////////////////
PCI Express to PCI Adapter
featuring PLX Technology PEX 8111 PCI to PCI Express bridge
PCI Express x1 cards have been scarce since the introduction of the
bus several years ago. We now offer a PCI Express x1 adapter for
server or desktop PCs that converts PCI Express x1 bus to PCI. The
adapter utilizes a PLX Technology PEX 8111 PCI to PCI Express bridge
chip. It will accept standard or low profile PCI cards. As a generic
PCI to PCI Express adapter it should work well with most PCI cards.
This adapter allows you to use your existing PCI cards in the PCI
Express slot of your mother board. It can accept one of the half
height cards designed for 2U server chassis environments, such as a
Fire wire or Gigabyte Ethernet card. The 32bit 33MHz adapter’s 4 pin
connector is connected directly to the power supply of your PC. The
heat generated by the card is very low. The adapter has a bracket with
a large gap to allow you to plug things into the card. The adapter
will also accept a full height PCI card if your case has the extra
headroom to accept a higher card.
/////////////////
the above cards, however, seem overpriced given they're available for
about $28.00 w/ shipping from Hong Kong:

PS: one useful additional feature such cards might provide -- since
the pcie x1 riser uses an ATX-style 12&5v power connector, that means
you could use a separate power supply from the main computer's to help
isolate the analog section from computer noise.
Hey all,
I came across this post while googling stuff about Rosegarden and Program
Changes:
http://www.mail-archive.com/rosegarden-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg12791…
Was this ever implemented back into the main codebase of Rosegarden or does
a patch exist for it outside of Chris Cherret's OpenOctave fork of
Rosegarden?
Thanks,
Andrew.
I'm using Rui's rtirq[1], and when I boot into my system the
audio card is /not/ properly prioritized. However, if I do
`/etc/init.d/rtirq restart`, then it /is/. It also works OK
if I force the script to sleep (e.g. `sleep 10`).
For some reason, rtirq is being run just before the kernel
creates 'irq/16-HDA Intel' (the sound card). Does anyone
know how I can wait for that without throwing in random
sleep times?
Thanks,
Gabriel
Hi list, is it possible to write patterns in hydrogen and then sequence
them in seq24? (Instead of sequencing single basedrums/snares or
whatever directly in seq24)
thanks
