I'm pissed off about the XLR sockets and my ADA80000 gets boiling hot. It's not mounted to a rack. It's on a shelf and there put on a holder, so there's headroom above and below the ADA. I own nothing myself from Sequential or Linn. Haven't seen Linn gear for more than a decade. A good friend owns much gear from Sequential. He doesn't like his Prophet 5 that much, if I would have the money, I would buy it, since he has a good revision and it's MIDIfied. Btw. I would also buy a less good revision of the Prophet 5, I remember at least two versions, there might be more versions out there. The friend likes the 80s gear from Sequential he owns. I like the 80s gear too.

Recommended soundcard

by Tim Humphrey

Hi, Does anyone have a recommendation for a professional quality soundcard that runs on Linux Ubuntu (from version 10 onwards)? Don't want to commit to a card and then find out it doesn't work! Thanks Tim

Some New Music from Ogle & Carrasco

by Garry Ogle

I normally just lurk here but - having received some positive feedback from a well-respected member of this list - I thought I might de-cloak to share some of our recent tunes with you. you can listen on Soundcloud at https://soundcloud.com/garryo and here some direct links: http://www.garryo.org/music/nunataq.ogg http://www.garryo.org/music/nunataq.mp3 My first attempt at a mash-up video for this piece: http://youtu.be/gpc9MEiXXyE direct download: http://www.garryo.org/video/nunataq.mp4 And in case you missed it, here are direct links for the companion piece to the above, published a few months ago: http://www.garryo.org/music/amian.ogg http://www.garryo.org/music/amian.mp3 needless to say, only the finest open-source software was used to create these works!

New Bach synth version - made with Linux and friends :-)

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone1 Here's another synthesizer version of a Bach piece. This time it's the Invention in C Minor. I couldn't really decide, which my strongest influence should be on this arrangement, so it's somewhere in between Carlos and Tomita. :-) http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV773-Invention_in_C_Minor-Synth_Version.ogg http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV773-Invention_in_C_Minor-Synth_Version.mp3 Or through the website: http://juliencoder.de/bach/ The strings are a Solina sample, coming from LinuxSampler, the rest is NordLead3. and of course some fantastic plugins and a wonderful recording software. So this time thanks to Joel, for his continuous and tireless work, to the CALF team for the superb phaser and to Tim Goetze for my favourite plate reverb! the list could go on, but these are the most forming pieces of software - or art - in this piece. Feedback as ever is welcome, otherwise, just enjoy. Warmly yours Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html

Announcing synthclone-0.3.0!

by Devin Anderson

I'm happy to announce the release of synthclone-0.3.0! synthclone is a tool that allows you to create sample-based instruments. You can create sample-based instruments by sending MIDI messages to your MIDI-capable gear or software that instructs an instrument to emit sounds for a series of notes, velocities, controls, and aftertouch values, or by recording your own samples. After the sampling is done, you can apply effects to your samples, and finally save this data as a sample-based instrument that can be loaded by sampler software. Features: * Supports user-configurable per-zone sample time, release time, MIDI note, MIDI velocity, MIDI aftertouch, MIDI channel pressure, MIDI control changes, etc. via a table interface. * Audition samples and change zone parameters until you're happy with the data you're acquiring from your MIDI device. * Save and restore sessions. * Distributed with plugins that support the JACK Audio Connection Kit (with JACK Session support), PortAudio and PortMidi, trimming of samples, reversing samples, LV2 effects, the creation of Hydrogen, SFZ, and Renoise instruments, automated zone generation, and loading samples from your local filesystem! * Can create multiple targets in one session (i.e. a Renoise patch and an SFZ patch) from the same set of samples. * A well-documented plugin API is available for developers to write their own plugins to extend synthclone. Important Changes Since 0.2.0: * Lots of bug fixes. * The new LV2 plugin allows you to use LV2 effects within synthclone * The new Renoise plugin allows you to save your instruments as Renoise instruments * The new Reverser plugin allows you to reverse the samples you load into synthclone * The new Sample Loader plugin allows you to load samples into synthclone from your local filesystem * Internal architecture changes for future expansion of the plugin API to handle main view manipulation Future Development: * Consider capturing release of samples. * Figure out a good packaging scheme for Mac OSX. * Support the Non-Session Manager protocol. * Consider different ways to support the detection and/or creation of loops. * Get someone to design an icon that isn't ugly. * Extend the LV2 plugin to support more features so that it can load more LV2 plugins. Community Inquiry: synthclone has outgrown its original purpose as a tool to sample MIDI-capable instruments, and is slowly becoming a more general tool for the creation of sample-based instruments. In this respect, synthclone is still lacking in a lot of ways; for example, it doesn't support the creation or detection of loops. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of all the ways that synthclone needs to grow to become a more general tool for samplists, as I only use and extend synthclone to fulfill my own needs. I'm also not motivated to add a bunch of features to synthclone to extend it in different ways that I don't immediately require. So, I need to know the following: 1.) If you're a samplist, tell me what synthclone needs to become a part of your sampling workflow. 2.) If you're a developer that would like to add functionality to synthclone, let me know what I can do to help you move forward. 3.) The name 'synthclone` no longer describes what `synthclone` does. I'm considering renaming the application. If you have a suggestion or thoughts on the idea, please let me know. 4.) In general, I'll take any feedback I can get. :) Thanks: David Robillard - While writing the LV2 plugin, I came across issues with LILV/SUIL. Some of those issues were *actually* issues, and some of the issues were based on my own naivety. Dave fixed the real issues quickly, and patiently addressed the others. Thanks, Dave. The new version of `synthclone` is available at: http://synthclone.googlecode.com/ Please report bugs using the issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/synthclone/issues/list If you like `synthclone` and have ideas that can make it better and/or want to keep up with its progress, join the users group: http://groups.google.com/group/synthclone-users If you're a developer and want to write plugins for `synthclone` or contribute to the application itself, join the development group: http://groups.google.com/group/synthclone-development Thanks, -- Devin Anderson surfacepatterns (at) gmail (dot) com blog - http://surfacepatterns.blogspot.com/ psinsights - http://psinsights.googlecode.com/ synthclone - http://synthclone.googlecode.com/

Ravenna

by Moshe Werner

Have been reading about this lately. Anyone knows what the state is regarding Linux audio and Ravenna? http://ravenna.alcnetworx.com/technology/about-ravenna.html Would be very interesting as it's open technology standard. Best Regards Moshe

Pops when starting/stopping audio stream

by Asa Marco

Hi everyone, already once in theater we had a problem with disturbing pops when an audio stream was stopped or started from PC, that disappeared by using an Edirol UA25EX as interface. Now I notice that this problem afflicts also my laptop (either with JACK or ALSA) and I really would like to get rid of it. Is the crappy internal soundcard (Intel, chip Realtek ALC269) the only one to blame? What could cause these pops? Is there any way to deal with it at software level? Thanks! -- Marco
