hi all, Just saw this online, thought it may be of interest to folks here. http://www.cyberstep.com/kdj/ Looking at the features page, it seems to be a Meego based hardware unit - may be a great base for experimentation if the price is right. -michael

new Csound piece

by Dave Phillips

Greetings, Actually it's an old one, recently spruced up for a new video created with AVSynthesis. The video hasn't been uploaded yet, but I like the soundtrack well enough to post it solo. http://linux-sound.org/audio/Quietly_Scatter.mp3 http://linux-sound.org/audio/Quietly_Scatter.ogg Soft ambient music, not loud. Think "dynamics by Morton Feldman". Best, dp

OT: music listened to with linux :-) -- Mathew Jonson

by Niels Mayer

I don't think linux was used to create this music (*), but I used Linux to listen to it :-) (Fedora via Amarok on the desktop, Maemo on Nokia n900 via http://gpodder.org/ in the car) ... I'm posting because it's an excellent Mix by one of my favorite producers: Mathew Jonson "in his full majestic flow" ... if talking about music is like dancing about architecture, i'd say each of Mathew Jonson's better songs sound like a little zen-rock-garden-of-music, except there's like little Japanese anime gnomes and Dr. Zeuss fluff-balls poking up from the crevices now and then. File: http://ra4.residentadvisor.net/audio/RA240_110103_Mathew-Jonson-residentadv… around 47' are some remixes of his latest album's songs like the tip-of-the-hat-to-the-John-Tejada-sound 'Girls Got Rhythm' and the distinctive elastic-bass (from http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/sh101.php ??) of 'Thieves In Digital Land' ... Picture: http://www.residentadvisor.net/images/features/2010/labyrinth-mj-full.jpg (from http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1258 ) Podcast: http://www.residentadvisor.net/xml/podcast.xml Equipment: "two SH-101s, a 909 and 808, an Elektron Machinedrum, a Midas V320, Yamaha and Eventide effects and some MIDI controllers for the computer. Usually I only have one SH-101 but they had a spare for me at the festival so it was better than usual! It's also the reason why you hear so many new synth parts being played like in the beginning of "Symphony for the Apocalypse." (Hopefully it's not too busy.)" (from http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?id=240 ) Description: "His pool of original material is teaming with prodigious 12-inches, released chiefly via his own Wagon Repair imprint, while tracks like "Marionette" and "Decompression" are rightly considered as techno classics. You may recognize much of what Jonson plays during performances in clubs and festivals around the world, but it will no doubt have been expertly reconfigured, right there and then on the fly. This virtuosity at the helm of hardware carries over to Cobblestone Jazz, the live electronic improv group Jonson formed with friends Tyger Dhula and Danuel Tate back in 2002. The group has since released a pair of albums–23 Seconds and The Modern Deep Left Quartet–while Jonson explored the format solo in 2010 through the warmly received Agents of Time ( http://www.discogs.com/Mathew-Jonson-Agents-Of-Time/master/255472 ). ... Jonson's podcast for us captures the producer in his full majestic flow. The set was recorded at Labyrinth festival 2010 in Japan, and finds Jonson maneuvering among a substantial array of gear for what is undoubtedly one of his favourite places to play." Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: (*) I would imagine http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/06/30/review-the-elektron-machinedrum/ has got linux running somewhere deep inside ...

Rock band 3 pro guitar (fender mustang) aseqdump dumps

by Nathanael Anderson

I'm writing a program that will make it so a standard guitar synth can be used as a controller for rock band 3 pro guitar/bass mode. I need some annotated dumps to be able to finish it, i've got most of the program written, but the dumps I found were incomplete. Here is what I gathered from the dumps I've already looked over: it sends sysex data saying what fret's are 'pushed'. when a string is plucked it sends a note off event identifying the string that was played followed by a note on event saying what string was played (string not note) I'd like to get annotated dumps (with what your doing during each set of data) start with the low e and play open, then push fret 1, play fret 1, continue to fret 10 do the same for the other strings. I'm using rtmidi for midi support, so this will work in linux,windows,and osx. Thanks, Nathanael

And even more organ music

by Julien Claassen

Hello all! So here's some more from the organ and me. Oh, I forgot to mention: It's a small instrument in a local church here. This time recorded from directly behind me. The first take was done from the viccar's lectern. The organ has five stops (gedackt 8ft., principal - probably 8ft. but sounds like 4ft. -, Rohrfloete 4ft., Waldfloete 2ft. and two mixtures - for each half of the keyboard and a 16ft. subbass, which sounds like gedackt 16ft.). http://juliencoder.de/jb/xmas_10 The files endng in_close are the new ones. There's also the b minor prelude, which I didn't take from the other session. All files are available as ogg and mp3. Enjoy! Merry Christmas or wonderful holidays (whatever you prefer) Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de

New Synths for LV2

by Jeremy

Hi All, I thought I'd let you know about some synthesizers I converted to LV2 plugins. "50m30n3" wrote a few synthesizers using Jack. There is a "Feedback Drone Synthesizer" (http://d00m.org/~someone/so666/), a Piano Synthesizer ( http://d00m.org/~someone/sokl5/), and a Bassline Synthesizer ( http://d00m.org/~someone/so404/) I've converted them to LV2 plugins and added Debian packaging. You can find the ports here: https://github.com/jeremysalwen/So-synth-LV2 I remember that recently someone was complaining about the lack of virtual instruments for LV2, so these should help add to the bunch.

Problem with Memory

by Moshe Werner

Hi to everyone, I'm pretty new to this list but want to say that it's a great thing! My question: I've got an openSuse 64 bit system running on C2D E4400, Intel MB and 6 GB installed. At startup th bios recognizes the RAM but my OS doesn't, it only sees 3.2 GB. Tried to find awnser to this on the www but only got more confused, shouldn't a 64 bit OS be able to adress up to 16 exabites of ram? Thanks for your time Regards Moshe
