AMS looks like the answer to my dreams, except that I've never been able to get it working - 3 different machines, 3 years, 3 different distros (all numbers approximate), it segfaults within about 5 minutes of playing around. Currently trying to get version 2.0.1 it working on Arch64 (AMD) with jack. First VCO appears OK. Second VCO causes a segfault, and a scope causes a freeze-up. SO the question is - does anybody have a different experience to me? Fons describes it as 'incredibly versatile', which suggests he managed to get it to run for longer than 5 minutes without crashing, but is it actually usable for anything? If so, maybe I'll try again next year with a different machine and a different distro...

[LAU] WG: [slightly OT] Musical citation (what is allowed?)

by Ralf Mardorf

PS: What is the situation if you make a song near the style to a known composer? And what is the situation, if you make a song in the style of a known composer and years after you did, this composer wrote a song that is similar, resp. equal to your song in her/his style? The answer is, that musicians don't care about it, just untalented assholes even sue their own fans. Metallica! IMO quoting isn't a matter for the law, it's only a matter for our own tastes. If there's a reason to quote it's ok, it's wanted, if the cause is a lack of ideas, you blame yourself. IMO you only blame yourself regarding to abstruse meter :p. I don't think you've got a lack of own ideas ;). If you should quote it would be a gain and not a robbery.

Today's Topics: 1. [slightly OT] Musical citation (what is allowed?) (Julien Claassen) Hi Julien :) I didn't read the whole digest, anyway, as others mentioned before, it's a cloudy situation. I guess you don't sample, but e.g. plays a sequence. 1. Is there any copyright on the scale? 2. Is anybody able to hear the quoted sequence? 3. Is the one you'll quote a moneymaker or a musician? Yes, Metallica will sue you, Musicians don't care, they feel flattered. 4. Do you make money with this quote? 5. By random several people have the same idea at the same time, maybe "random" is morphogenetic. 6. By random we very often unintended quote or simply have got the same idea. DON'T CARE ABOUT IT! 7. What is the situation if you modify the quote? E.g. a different phrasing? Or if the phrasing is important, exchange blue-notes and regular scale notes. At what point the quote will become a new composition? 8. Blame guys like Eric Clapton for stealing simple phrases, IIRC one of "his" songs of that kind is "man overboard". IMO its ok to quote, what ever the law says. It only became shameful, if the whole song is a qouote and praised as a self-made opus. 2 Cents, Ralf

[LAU] [slightly OT] Musical citation (what is allowed?)

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! I'd like to cite from a relatively recent work (1970), which of course is still copyrighted. So can I do it per se? I'd just like to cite a main phrase for a bit (2-4 bars) I suspect. any hints on that would be very much appreciated.
