Re: [LAU] second mouse as HID in pd/linux

by Renato Budinich

Hi, not sure about pd, but in supercollider you can call a .grab() method on HID objects that will block other software, even X, to have access to them. HTH, renato

second mouse as HID in pd/linux

by James Mckernon

Hi all, Crossposting this to the pure data mailing list and linux audio users as it concerns PD and the linux OS also. I'd like to be able to use a second mouse as an input device for controlling synthesis in Pure Data. (Well, actually, it's a trackball I'd like to use - much more fun, but I believe equivalent as far as the computer is concerned.) However, I am not aware of a way to connect a second mouse without the operating system treating it the same as the first mouse - i.e., having it control the cursor. The first, obvious disadvantage of this state of affairs is that my cursor would then be flying around the screen and probably clicking on all manner of disruptive, destructive things whenever I use the controller. The second, possibly more serious, disadvantage is that I believe the input would then be limited to the dimensions of the screen. For what I'd like to do, it's essential that I be able to continue to move infinitely in any direction, without being limited to the dimensions of an arbitrary frame. Is there a way to achieve this without the problems above? In other words, is it possible to get linux/X to ignore the mouse, and for PD to get the movement data straight from the device? (Is this a job for [hid]?) Any advice on either front would be appreciated. I am asking now as I would like to be certain that this is possible before I shell out £30 or so on the trackball. Thanks, all! James P.S. Bonus question: At some point in the future, I'd also like to attempt something similar with a second keyboard. If anyone can answer the question identical to the one above except with the work 'keyboard' substituted in for the word 'mouse', I'd be grateful for that too.

DC offset

by Rustom Mody

Thanks to Al Thomson pointer to look at 'normalize' I have found that my equipment (just a vanilla sound card) has/introduces some DC offset. How to remove it? Why does it come?

A little bit of EWI playing

by Bob van der Poel

Here's a little video I recently made. The video sequencing was done with Imagination; background track with MMA; audio mix Audacity (all on linux). Only the actual recording was not on Linux ... direct to a digital recorder connected to my mixer. Hope you all enjoy. Sort of sentimental for today's audiences ... but I love old show tunes :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FrC6IVvV0aQ -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca

swami soundfont in musescore

by Renato

Hi, I've created a simple as dirt soundfont in swami, and I'd like to use it in musescore, but I'm not getting any sound. First thing, the soundfont plays allright in qsynth. In musescore I create a new score with a random instrument (say Violin), then load the soundfont in Display -> Synthesizer. Then I enter some notes in the Violin part, but I get no sound. The notes entered are in the correct midi range for the soundfont - to check I enabled Jack midi output in musescore and looked at what midi it was sending while playing the violin part. How does musescore associate an instrument in the score to one in the soundfont? I tried opening the "Staff Properties..." and changing the long instrument name from "Violin" to "baba" - that's exactly how I called both the instrument and the "melodic preset" in swami, but still I get no sound. It would be perfect if someone could provide a simple .sf2 and .mscz that "work" together, so I could hack on that. best wishes, renato

Applications for tracking mod/xm files

by Kris Calabio

I've been a user of MOD Plug Tracker on Windows making chiptunes. I've tried using wine, but it crashes too much. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good tracker for Linux? -Kris
