Regarding to the many changes in the Linux world I don't make music anymore, but spend time to fix one unneeded issue after the other. I prefer if at least the old reliable production audio tools would keep solid as a rock. - Ralf

My JX-8P is dead, any SW based synth that can handle the heritage? :-(

by Jostein Chr. Andersen

Hi, My Roland JX-8P is dead, and it's getting harder and harder and more expensive to get new ones that's reliable and repairable. I got my first one back in 1987 and the last one 3 years ago. I'm looking for the pad and strings/brass sounds that synths like Juno 60/106 and JX-8P could produce. You wonder what on earth I'm talking about? Watch, or listen to this, it totally rocks: http://www.retrosound.de/The_Roland_JX-8P_demo.htm The problem is that there's nothing quite like them AFAIK and I'm lost when it come to tweak synths like for example zynaddsubfx/yoshimi wich seem to be able to deliver. Another one, Loomer Aspect, is one that i might tweak, but it does not work in my Ubuntu 10.04 studio. So my question is: Does it exist a real Linux analog-sounding, subtractive, chrash free and maintained SW synth that can match or substitute the HW above? I've sniffed at great synths like amSynth, AMS, but they don't sound that 8P-ish in my ears - on the other hand, it might be me that's not good at tweaking them. Is it anybody here who knows both the great analogue sounding Rolands and sw synths that can put me in the right direction? Thanks, Jostein

midi backend not working in qjackctl?

by James Mckernon

Hi all, I seem to recall that setting qjackctl's 'midi driver' option to 'seq' is supposed to make a copy of all the midi ports in the 'alsa midi' tab under the 'jack midi' tab. This used to work fine for me, but bafflingly doesn't seem to work now. The ports simply don't appear as they should, whatsoever. If I can't fix it, I guess I'll just start using a2jmidid instead, but I'd prefer to use Jack's internal solution. Any ideas why this might not be working, how to fix it, or where to investigate? Thanks! James

aj-snapshot daemon

by rosea.grammostola

Hi, Aj-snapshot -d, could be a more flexible replacement for qjackctl patchbay, the only problem here: it does not work. It doesn't make the connections being stored after launching the app (yoshimi). Anyone having success with this stuff? \r

help for building new desktop pc

by Renato

Hi list, I'm looking into building a new desktop, and possibly buy a new sound card, and I'd like some advice. Right now I'm using an Acer Aspire laptop, with an intel core 2 Duo T5500 - 1.66Ghz and 2gb of ram, and a Rig Kontrol 2 USB sound card. What I'd like to do is have one or two audio inputs, apply [possibly lots of] real time effects (like rakarrack and ladspa), have some samplers/synths playing, maybe a loop program, and record to disk. I probably wouldn't be doing frequently all these things together, but I'd like if possible a system that could, if needed, handle it. With my current setup even parts of this is very difficult (especially the real time effects part) and gets me plenty of xruns. Am I correct in assuming that the source of xruns is double: from the soundcard chip when the jack daemon is invoked with low latency settings (possibly too much for said chip) and from the CPU when there is too much DSP going on? I'm asking this because, being on a budget, I'm wondering if I'd be better off with keeping my Rig Kontrol 2 and getting an i5 2500k CPU or getting a lesser CPU but a better sound card... I know it's a difficult question with no straight answers, just wanted to hear some opinions. And while we are at it, do you have any other particular suggestions for building a desktop with my audio needs? For example is overclocking ability something to search for in a CPU? Online there is of course an overwhelming quantity of info, but most is targeted to people building computers to play games. best wishes, renato

blvco LADSPA plugin

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone and Fons in particular! OK, it is rather late to give feedback, but I just managed to get some use out of these ladspa plugins. I was especially experimenting with the unique ID 1954, REC-vco plugin. When I didn't get the expected result with the sync audio input port, I hunted for the readme and tried to check, if I perhaps thought it was for a different purpose and then I saw, that at the time it was thought to be experimental. So: is the sync port for a typical sync'ed osciallator sound? I tried different things with it and either got no result or harsh sounding results, that sounded more like some sort of ringmod or FM, i.e. in this case destructive. :-) I fed the audio signal from another oscillator into it, starting at the same pitch and going up. Result: a short uncertainty in the beginning, as if a short env had been applied to the pitch and then this FM-ish sound. I treid to feed a straight line into it going slowly from 1 to pitch. No good at all. Well, it was just to make sure. :-) Another thing I'm not too sure about the the waveform control input. I changed its value from -1 to 1 in a straight line and no effect. But thanks for these osciallators. They now not only look like interesting and helpful gear, they are!
