Hi,
Petri-Foo is a fork of the Specimen sampler project created in
February 2011. The first source-code release of Petri-Foo is now
available to download and build and is available directly from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/petri-foo/files/Source/petri-foo-0.0.1.tar.…
Many of the features of Petri-Foo are almost identical to Specimen except:
Modulation:
* decoupled LFOs and Envelopes from parameters
(modulation sources can be chosen independently
for each parameter).
* LFOs themselves can be frequency modulated
* Keyboard tracking.
Sampler:
* improved sample viewer
* improved drawing code using Cairo
* faster waveform drawing after window damage.
* additional 'to end' playback option.
* fades for playback and cross-fades for looping
Voice:
* improved mono/legato operation
* improved envelope behaviour for mono/legato operation
Plus many other changes less visible to the user.
Petri-foo is not well tested at all. Part of the purpose of this
release is to hopefully find users to test Petri-Foo and to report
bugs and other problems, and ideas for continued development. More
information for those interested can be found on the Petri-Foo
homepage.
The Petri-Foo homepage can be visited at:

Cheers,
James.
Hello everyone!
I just recorded and uploaded some new music. A Bach chorale played entirely
on my new hardware toy and slightly refined with some G2verb.

Or as mp3:

I grant you nothing much in the way of production or maybe not even playing,
but nice all the same. It's taken from theRiemenschneider edition, each voice
is played with its own patch, which makes for a rather nice effect.
I hope you enjoy it, feedback is always welcome.
Warmly yours
Julien

Hi
I am looking for a jack-aware console midi sequencer.
I have tried Cuse, and it works wonderfully with alsa, but I can't get
it to work when jack is running. Starting jack with -Xseq, I run cuse
and point it at /dev/snd/midiC1D0 (or whatever, I've tried other
nodes), cuse segfaults.
I also tried using a2jmidi, same results, cuse segfaults.
I have found some text-based sequencers, like tektrakker, but none
that seem jack-capable. I would very much appreciate if some knows
an option and could inform me.
Thank you.
Season greetings!
It's spring-cleaning time once again.
Dust has severely piled up and brand old mite is already lurking around.
That's the bad news. Good news are there are plans for this FluidSynth
gooey front-end, you know it's about Qsynth. Alas, plans are follow
today's "slip release" though.
Finally, you may say. Not that there's any big (not even small) new
features being slung out today. In fact, there's just a lousy couple of
the same old crap. Never mind. Big plans are all about getting some
channel controllers--also known as generators--into the picture. Yes,
finally. It means amplitude, filter envelope generators, LFO modulators,
knobs and sliders gore fest and what not. I hear you thinking that's all
what a synth is about. And you're damn right. Dropping an initial,
"synth" has been in the name all this time hasn't it? Right, it has been
a pretty old plan, ever since early dawn. Well, it still is... a plan.
As always, I won't make any promises, which would be a terrible thing to
do, specially from one who keeps calling himself the
"über-procrastinator". Yeah, I'm sure you know me from previous
auto-proclamations. Back to subject at hand, there it is.
Qsynth 0.3.6 slipped away from the dust!

Change-log:
- Main window layout fixing with regard to its user preferred size and
recall when system-tray icon is not enabled.
- Channels list preset items now activated on double-click.
- Desktop environment session shutdown (eg. logout) is now tapped for
graceful application exit, even though the main window is active
(visible) and minimizing to system tray is enabled. Both were causing
first shutdown/logout attempt to abort. Not anymore, hopefully ;).
- libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase, as seen
necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13, Debian 6.
- General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
- CMake build system. It was silently available in 0.3.5, but now it is
officially unveiled.
- Fixed a couple of dangling pointers.
- Mac OSX: Enabled the MIDI name Id option for CoreMIDI driver ports,
added the icon to the app bundle.

Hey all,
1. I am researching to build a new system here and need to make the
video decision of NVidia or ATI. My goal is to be able to run 3d games
and do my audio work on the same linux installation if possible.
I know in the past I heard bad things about the binary proprietary
drivers and realtime audio(freezing, xruns, etc). Is this still the
case? Does realtime Jack audio have issues with the proprietary
drivers, or with composting window managers?
There are plenty of reviews on linux graphics performance for nvidia,
nouveau, fglrx, and radeon(mesa/gallium3d), but none on xrun stability.
Anyone have experience/recommendations?
2. System76 and ZaReason seem to be the two popular companies in Linux
PC sales. I would like to avoid Ubuntu so that outs System76. Anyone
have good/bad experiences with ZaReason? http://zareason.com
3. Lastly, anyone have any info on multi-booting the Intel MacMini with
Linux for audio? I'd rather not get an Apple, but I need to get my
linux audio fix and my Diablo 3 fix(someday) and am avoiding Windows.
Thanks,
Brian
Hi all,
I'm really liking Arch- as the Dude would say, it's got that whole brevity thing going...Ardour and ecasound are working well. But i'm a little lost with ffado- I'm not grokking the easy way to install libffado. Do i need to do the whole abs thing? When i try installing libffado from aur i get a missing dependency: complains that python2-qt is not available? any help would be xlnt, like a tamale....

For a while now I've been polishing a couple of simple tools for
generating loops, playing them, practicing / improvising against a
background chord progression, and recording. Since they are
lightweight and reasonably automate the workflow, you might find them
useful. Suggestions, bug reports and patches are, of course, welcome.
SHUT AUDIO TOOLS
Home page: https://github.com/danmbox/shut-audio-tools/
Ubuntu PPA (apt-get install shut-audio-tools):
https://launchpad.net/~danmbox/+archive/ppa
Included:
* ShutLP, a gapless loop player with a count-in metronome. It helps
you practice along with a recorded loop. For session management, it's
LASH-aware.
* Shut Record, a recording front end with workflow management for
naming / recording / redoing. It can use jack_capture, arecord and
other back-ends. Start jackd, set up a background loop with shutlp,
record with shutrecord, view with mhwaveedit, retry until done.
* spliceaudio, an audio splicing / loop-creation utility using sox
* Shut Audio Control (shut-actl), a GUI for managing Pulse Audio, Jack
and their interactions
2. DEPENDENCIES:
* mandatory: sox, mplayer; perl, python; Jack, Pulse Audio or ALSA;
for building, also GNU make and help2man
* recommended: TkInter and Python-Imaging -- unless you don't use X :)
* recommended: jack_capture and a sound editor (mhwaveedit)

Snd doesn't work with Lesstif, but openmotif (from motifzone)
works fine -- it is not flakey, and I prefer it to Gtk which has
become huge and slow over the years. But in the long term,
I fear your best bet is Gtk -- it is easier to install, and is under
active development, and its open-source status is not in doubt.
Raison d'être being Paul's Unison and Reverb enhancements, jack session
support, panning tamed to a semi-sane standard, assorted bug fixes and
tweaking & tuning.
Special thanks go to Lars Luthman for conquering the heffalump bug,
whereby some ADnotes were incorrectly pitched on some 32 bit systems.
Thank you Lars. Thanks also go to the patient collaborators on
yoshimi-user. Thank you all!
There's a tarball and git, 0.060 branch _not_ master, at
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi/files/>.
cheers, Cal
