Any day soon now drobilla will get his persist extension finished and shortly after that we can likely expect a fully functional calf soundfont player, one that saves/restores its settings but until that day the best we have in the land of LV2 sample players would seem to be composite, which I seem to have working quite nicely under A3 although I've not played with t much yet. I've found this script: http://code.google.com/p/hydro2sf2/ but I'm wondering if there is a tool that will simplify the conversion going the other way ie to convert an .sf2 into a .h2kit fit for use with composite (and hydrogen, of course)?

My problem is that if I stop playback VLC get disconnected ( it is not happened if you press "pause" just on "stop"). Reconnecting on playback makes audible click. I would like to have VLC all the time connected to jack. Is this possible? regards mira

Placing audio source in virtual room, with surround audio system.

by Mike Cookson

Someone asked at forum about THX Setup Console - creative utility to setup surround audio system. I'm sure, that in this case special features of x-fi processor Emu20k1 (or what is ever) are used. I even don't try to search a way to setup it in linux. Instead i hope to get it with jack software. In my test i have room, where is already project loaded (just to reuse and avoid adding of optional stuff). My current way is to route source at one time to zita-rev1, which supports Ambisonic B, and to host with some AMB plugins to pan source and get result also in Amb-B format. Both ambisonic outputs are mixed in Ambisonic Decoder for B format (also as plugin). I don't know, wether my choise fot this decoder is correct; sound from room is generated by zynaddsubfx, so errors in panning probably, can't appear there. But when i tried to convert mono sound (W channel from zita-rev1, which is main, monophonic, as far as i understood from wikipedia), two parameters did not noticable by my ear, and another - panned from center to right instead of from left to right. Also i tried "AMB order 1.1 mono pan", which did not make nothing noticable for my ear at all, and "AMB order 1.1 stereo pan" (with room stereo output), with which i could only increase / decrease difference between L and R channels, for my sence (i.e., stereo width). Before this all i tried ambdec, but i still could not get something useful with it.

Strange reply from yoshimi-user mailing list.

by Mike Cookson

I subscribed to this list as well - i.e., confirmed, than got welcome message. Unfortunally, i removed it... may be i had very important info, but i don't have idea, what i should do besides to just write to mailing list, after confirmation. And i got strange reply from yoshimi-user-bounces(a)lists.sourceforge.net - i never got it before. > The results of your email command are provided below.

Linux programs for creatiing/manipulating sound effects

by Bearcat M. Şandor

Folks, I've been thinking about playing with sound effects. For a lot of my life, i've been interested in the sounds that various things make and i am wondering if there is a linux program that would allow me to take a sound clip and manipulate it. Like taking the sound of a chair squeak and distort it, stretch it, apply filters to it, alter the tone etc. Is there a linux gui app for this sort of thing? Preferably in with the gtk tool kit as i have that all loaded up? I did some digging around, but i didn't see much. Of course there's always the chance that i looked at something that would do it well and didn't recognise it. What is that kind of program called? Thanks, Bearcat

Music Made with Linux: Yachebada

by paul feitzinger

"Yachebada" http://pfeyz.com/music/yachebada.mp3 http://pfeyz.com/music/yachebada.ogg Electric bass, two acoustic guitar tracks, two vocal tracks with some live coded buffer granulators in Supercollider, snare drum with delay and distorted casiotone. Recorded in Ardour2 with a couple of plugins for compression and a lil' EQ. Reminds me of later-era Earth and the Boredoms. If anybody knows of a language that "yachebada" sounds like something in, let me know, because it's just improvisational gibberish. paul
