does ESI esp1010e work with Linux? What soundchip?

by Niels Mayer

http://www.esi-audio.com/products/esp1010e/ This looks suspiciously like an ice1712 and not ice1724 (like on the ESI juli@/maya) given that it tops out at 96K in a time when HD fashion demands 192K... Also the two midi ports, and 8 I/O's and SPDIF, just like ice1712 (?): http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/audio/controllers/envy24/ But on a PCIe bus? And with a low-profile card (excellent for pairing w/ a uatx mobo and a htpc case.) http://www.esi-audiotechnik.com/press/ESI/ESP1010e-PCIe-2.jpg http://www.esi-audiotechnik.com/press/ESI/ESP1010e-Front-2.jpg http://www.esi-audiotechnik.com/press/ESI/ESP1010e-Rear-2.jpg perhaps this "ESI ESP 1010" is a different model? http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Ice1724#ESI_DSP_2000.2C_ESI_ESP_1010 says it works partially, but claims it a 1724, which I'm still not convinced it is given the above... ) >ESI DSP 2000, ESI ESP 1010 >According to a post in the JackLab support forum both the ESI DSP 2000 and the ESI ESP 1010 should work. The former (DSP) is fully supported, the >latter (ESP) lacks software controls for headphone volume and microphone preamps, therefore some channels are not useable. Niels http://nielsmayer.com

Re: [LAU] [LAD] mudita24 1.02 -- improved envy24control mixer/router for ice1712-based sound-cards

Envy24control uses the same mechanism as your system does (see /etc/asound.state and amixer(1)) to save the state of your ALSA devices between boots. The difference is this mechanism puts the file under your control at ~/.envy24control/profiles.conf and allows you to set eight different profiles: allowing you to save or restore up to eight different "asound.state"-like configurations per card. The different profiles are most useful for storing routings set in "Patchbay/Router" panel, as well as "Hardware Settings" panel clock rate, or external SPDIF/wordclock sync. On cards with switchable spdif/optical ins (Terratec/Terrasoniq), you can persist this extra level of "routing" -- which is useful for "matrix routing" between two digitally-interconnected and sync'd computers. ( I use profiles named: 44dmix-to-1&2&spdif, 48dmix-to-1&2&spdif, spdmix-to-1&2&spdif, 44all-outs-pcm, 48all-outs-pcm, spdif-all-outs-pcm, 96dmix-to-1&2&spdif and 96all-outs-pcm. ). When you have a combination of settings in envy24control that you want to return to, just go to the "Profiles" panel, enter the name of the profile into the first free text field (initially these will be numbered "1" through "8"). After entering a descriptive name, click "Save active profile." To restore a given profile, just click on the "button" area surrounding the text field, or even click within the text field. You'll notice the selected profile "button" indicates activation via coloration. After changing profiles, go to, for example, Patchbay/Router or "Hardware Settings" panels,and note that the previously saved state was restored. Note that significant amounts of setting data gets saved in these files: > ll ~/.envy24control/ -rw-r--r-- 1 npm npm 115253 2010-08-07 23:10 profiles.conf For comparison: > ll /etc/asound.state -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 128079 2010-08-07 18:15 /etc/asound.state (That's for a system with two envy24-based cards installed, thus size is large, causing "save" to produce a brief but noticeable pause in the metering on a slower system or "ondemand" throttled system). Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: speaking of envy24 anybody know whether this will work in standard alsa/linux: http://www.lionstracs.com/store/msaudio-board-envy24-p-122.html and are those i2s connectors, or ttl-level spdif? i guess if it's i2s you have to get: http://www.lionstracs.com/store/mixer-board-p-210.html (which looks pretty cool, esp w/ the onboard dream-based hardware synth w/ large sample ROM).

Linuxsampler/Rosegarden Midi Organisation.

by Andrew C

Hey all, I'm a bit overwhelmed when I mentally go through the possible ways of organising and syncing my midi maps in linuxsampler to Rosegarden/how many midi ports etc to use. My situation is thus: I have about 50 or so midi banks comprising of anywhere from 5 to 128 instruments, each in their own seperate midi map (Flame Guitars 1, 2, 3, General Midi Set etc) and each bank is numbered sequentially throughout the entire Map (as a side note, this probably isn't the most efficent way of doing this, but I'm learning!). Now, in Rosegarden, I've set up Banks in the 'Manage Midi Devices' tab for a single midi device (I have all 50 banks of the midi maps here, accessed by sending LSB Change messages to linuxsampler) and entered in each program name (By hand! I'm going off on tangents left right and center here, but surely there's a more automated way of entering in Program names for changing patches?). So, considering that Midi can only handle 16 channels at any one time for a single midi port, I'm obviously going to have to use (currently) about 4 midi ports in linuxsampler if I want 1 midi bank on each channel (not necessarily going to be using all of them at the same time of course). The question then is: Should I take 16 midi banks in linuxsampler, and assign them to a single midi map, which'll then be assigned to 16 channels connected to a single midi port, accessible by Rosegarden or perhaps group them by instrument type in groups of 16 etc? I would appreciate your views on this immensely! Andrew.

Calculating/measuring plugin latency in textbased environment

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone1 There still are some ladspa plugins, which don't have a latency output control. So I wonder how to measure their latency? I've heard, that Ardour can do it, so I suppose there is a relatively short process to do it? Can you suggest a tool, a method to quickly measure the latency of a plugin?

Re: [LAU] Nouveau driver on audio systems

by susemuse27＠gmx.de

in a first attempt on new opensuse 11.3 it seems to me that nouveau behaves similar to proprietary nvidia driver - this means for me nogo for realtime audio and fw-card, due to interrupt issues (Lenovo R61: Yenta and Nvidia share one interrupt). Switching to nv eliminates these constraints. If nv is subject to be removed in future releases then I will continue to work with my excellent running opensuse 11.2 (plus selfbuilt rt-kernel) till the end of my Laptop (which is not that far cause it's a really hard working machine *lol*). best Susanne -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!

LADSPA: where is FCAC sine?

by Andrew Gaydenko

Hi! Have started jack-rack and tried to find FCAC sine oscillator. Have not found. All other variants (FAAA, FCAA, FAAC) are there (from sine.o and cmt.o). Do FCAC ones exist at all? Andrew

Nouveau driver on audio systems

by fons＠kokkinizita.net

Hello all, I'd like to get an idea of how the 'nouveau' driver for Nvidia graphics cards is working on systems used for audio production. I have installed it on a number of systems over the past half year, all of them ArchLinux and using a 'standard' (i.e. non realtime-patched) kernel, 2.6.32 upto 2.6.34, with Xorg 1.7 and 1.8. On some systems 'nouveau' seems to work really well, on some others it produced lots of xruns (using a moderate jack period size of 256) which went away when I replaced 'nouveau' by the older 'nv'. I did not try the proprietary driver from Nvidia, AFAIK it has latency problems as well. Sooner or later 'nv' is going to disappear, and we will only have 'nouveau' or the proprietary driver. I'd want to avoid a situation where no usable Nvidia would be available to users of audio systems. *If* there is a problem with 'nouveau' we should identify it and get in touch with the developers. The first step in this process would be to collect some user feedback. Ciao, -- FA There are three of them, and Alleline.

JACK Network Manager 0.2.3.1

by Mike Cookson

After some talks with falktx I publiced new version, which has Makefile and (by my own initiative) Debian-related files. Since build system may store several builds, e.g. with various prefixes, Makefile manages by default last created build. To change default build run: $ ./configure --default-build=build_name Or run $ ./configure --builds to get list of available builds. Also, install script now has one argument to override install root (default is "/"). E.g., if you type: ./configure --prefix=/usr --buildname=build ./install ~/packages
