Hi guys, I sent the following mail to TASCAM (to the pre-sales
information). Hope to move something in their thinking.

Hello,
I'm deciding whether to buy the US-1800. Since I run Linux (Ubuntu) with
jack and ardour (www.ardour.org ), I need to know if the device is USB
2.0 audio class compliant or if there are plans for a dedicated driver.
Or at least plans to publish sufficient information to the linux audio
developers (linuxaudio.org). If nothing is planned in that direction, I
will switch to the Firewire solutions from Focusrite, since Focusrite
actively supports the linux audio developers! It's not that much work to
disclose some information. And you'll have some 500+ linux musicians
BUYING YOUR PRODUCTS! Afterall, your a hardware vendor, not a software
vendor.
Regards,
Gerald Mwangi
Hi dear LAUers.
I wanted to ask about Softstep and if anybody has any experience with this
on Linux. Vía USB it seems to work ok as a standard MIDI sender/receiver.
I'm particularly interested in I/O in the use of the application (Windows
version over Wine) they distribute to load scenes/presets and update its
firmware on board. You know that everything that sounds "firmware" is
risky. Would not want to fry my Softstep.
Thanks in advance.
P.S:
Softstep[1] is a footpedal controller that can send MIDI and OSD events
based on pressure, X axis, Y axis, etc. really complete.
You have more info here:

hello list,
I just wanted to share an hydrogen drum pattern (my first one).
It is a fast paced binary electro/jazz short sentence.
Feel free to use/modify it or make a longer pattern.

BTW, is there an open database for h2songs on the internet ?

Greetings,
I'm leaving today for San Francisco to attend the conference. I'll be
staying with a friend in Oakland tonight, but I'm still looking for
shared accommodations near Stanford for Thursday through Saturday.
Wow, four days of Linux audio immersion ! The conference looks to be
quite the event, I'm looking forward to connecting with familiar friends
and meeting some names that are yet faceless to me. I plan to attend
many presentations and workshops, and I'll probably do a write-up for
LWN afterwards.
Advancing westward,

Hi Q!
Couldn't you use two masterkeyboards for the playing? You say synthSS. so
you could have one for the left and one for the right hand and then do some
clever MIDI routing and changng of incoming velocity events. Well splitting
wouldn't work for such a piece, really, even if your keyboard could handle it.
It was no trouble listening to it nor commenting. :-)
Warmly yours
Julien

Hi Teza
Thanks for your comments. I certainly had images of beautiful Norwegian
scenery going through my mind when I wrote it, very filmic; I almost
felt like I was writing a soundtrack to the imagery in my head.
As Julien said, the piano is the Sampletekk Black Grand (ambient
recording). I would love to have used my own 1903 Bechstein upright, but
I need to have it tuned and I doubt I'd be able to mike it very well.
Many thanks again for listening and commenting.
Q
I'm happy to announce the first beta release of `synthclone`!
`synthclone` is a Qt-based application that can "clone" your
MIDI-capable instruments. It does this by sending out MIDI data that
instructs an instrument to emit sounds for a series of notes,
velocities, controls, and aftertouch values. It then saves 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/software.
* Save and restore sessions.
* Distributed with plugins that support the JACK Audio Connection Kit
(with JACK Session support), PortAudio and PortMidi, trimming of
samples, the creation of patches for Hydrogen and SFZ, and automated
zone generation.
* Can create multiple targets in one session (i.e. a Hydrogen 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 0.1.0:
* Lots of bug fixes.
* Added a "portable" semaphore implementation to the plugin API.
* Added the new PortMedia plugin, which supports sampling via
PortAudio and PortMidi.
* Get `synthclone` to compile on Mac OSX.
* Change build system to use traditional `./configure`, `make`, `make
install` scheme.
* Add new 'debian' target for building Debian packages (`./configure
--prefix=/usr`, `make debian`).
Future Development:
* Figure out a good packaging scheme for Mac OSX.
* Support the Non-Session Manager protocol.
* Write a plugin that creates Renoise instruments.
* Write a plugin that loads LADSPA effects.
* Write a plugin that loads LV2 effects.
* Write a plugin that loads samples from the filesystem (expanding on
the plugin created in this tutorial:
http://code.google.com/p/synthclone/wiki/TutorialWritingASimplePluginPart1)
* Consider different ways to support the detection and/or creation of loops.
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, and hope to meet some of you next week at the Linux Audio Conference.

Hi Q!
Wow, this is a completely new direction. I qwouldn't have thought that of
you, remembering Lovatnet or beyond tripple point or even your first Laetoli.
It has some very romantic passages, by which I don't mean the emotion
necessarily, but the period of time. Hm, thinking about it: also the emotional
state. :-) Nice piano, could that be a Sampletekk Black Grand as well? I seem
to recognise its characteristics. :-)
A very nice work all in all. I like your left handedness, it does something
for the piece. I tend to do little in the left hand as do others here and in
other places, where you can find free self-composed music, unless they really
sit down and have a specific form of musical piece in mind (like
counterpunctual or similar).
coming back to its real beauty, the melodies, I seem to spy a glimmer of
something there, which reminds me of something. :-P Lovely work, some nice
chords in figures in there!
Pianisedly yours
Julien

Hello everyone!
It's not bad, when mplayer shows an mp3 to be longer than it is, I ev3en had
a few, that looked a little shorter and were allright. But here I have a bunch
of mp3s, that mplayer shows to be exactly half as long as they are and after
that time it quits playing. I finally decoded them with mpg321 and that
worked, but it's a bloody nuisance doing it. I thought they really were broken
upto yesterday evening, when my brother played one of them on his windows
machine.
Does anyone have an idea, what this might be? I mean, as far as I know,
there is some mpg123 or mpg321 code in mplayer, at least occasionally, when
there are glitches, I see something saying mpg123 or similar before the actual
error message or info.
Warm regards
Julien

Hello,
I'm about the business of testing the brand new LV2 support in the
ecasound devel branch and am therefore getting introduced to LV@ at the
same time. The first question which comes to mind is, is there a tool
equivalent to analyseplugin for ladspa which will describe parameters'
types and value ranges?
Cheers,
S.M.
