Hey guys and gals! Want to share an experiment I did, sort of a proof of concept of how one can do random house (or whatever) music with a gap-less audio player. The post and the example ogg file here: http://www.louigiverona.ru/?page=projects&s=writings&t=linux&a=linux_random… -- Louigi Verona http://www.louigiverona.ru/

[LAU] New and old music: More Bach

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! I've hada a look at my collected music and bundled together all the Bach, that I had recorded and put it together. To make it really nice - or worse, depending on your point of ear - I've also added a few new recordings as well: http://juliencoder.de/bach Here are the pieces, that I think, I've never announced on this list: WTC, Book I: Prelude in C Major (played on the Korg TR76's piano): http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV846A-Prelude_in_C_Major.ogg http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV846A-Prelude_in_C_Major.mp3 Prelude in C Minor (played on one of teh PMI/Sampletekk Historic Keyboards harpsichords): http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV847A-Prelude_in_C_Minor.ogg http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV847A-Prelude_in_C_Minor.mp3 Fugue in D Minor (played on my NordLead3 virtual analogue synth): http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV851B-Fugue_in_D_Minor-Synth_Version.ogg http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV851B-Fugue_in_D_Minor-Synth_Version.mp3 Fugue in EFlat Minor ( I believe played on the PMI/Sampletekk Old Lady Steinway grand piano): http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV853B-Fugue_in_EFlat_Minor.ogg http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV853B-Fugue_in_EFlat_Minor.mp3 Prelude in E Major (new recording on the Sampletekk Black Grand Medium Steinway grand piano): http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV854A-Prelude_in_E_Major.ogg http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV854A-Prelude_in_E_Major.mp3 Prelude in E Major (played on the church organ of the local church, a very small instrument): http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV854A-Prelude_in_E_Major-Organ_Version.ogg http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV854A-Prelude_in_E_Major-Organ_Version.mp3 Prelude in F Minor (New recording on the Sampletekk Black Grand Medium): http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV857A-Prelude_in_F_Minor.ogg http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV857A-Prelude_in_F_Minor.mp3 Prelude in F Minor (played on Aeolus): http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV857A-Prelude_in_F_Minor-Organ_Version.ogg http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV857A-Prelude_in_F_Minor-Organ_Version.mp3 Prelude in B Minor (played on the Sampletekk Yamaha 7 Seas Grand): http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV869A-Prelude_in_B_Minor.ogg http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV869A-Prelude_in_B_Minor.mp3 Goldberg Variations: Goldverg Variation No.7 (again played on the local church organ): http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV988-Variation_7-Organ_Version.ogg http://juliencoder.de/bach/BWV988-Variation_7-Organ_Version.mp3 That's it, there's more on the site, but the rest I have at sometime or another posted here, I'm sure. I hope you can enjoy it. Feedback is as ever welcome. I'll try to record a piano version of the Goldberg Variation as well as of the D Minor Invention and the Prelude in G minor from the secondwell tempered clavier in the near future, so that there is at least a piano or harpsichord version for all pieces. I can't record a new version of the D minor fugue, since I've forgotten all about it. :-( Bach-ingly yours Julien =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Such Is Life: Very Intensely Adorable; Free And Jubilating Amazement Revels, Dancing On - FLOWERS! ====== Find my music at ====== http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html .....................................

Hi All, A new build of Praxis LIVE makes its way into the light. Highlights include new audio components and audio API improvements, cross-platform video capture (yes, Linux has always been there!), and live GLSL coding. Website - http://code.google.com/p/praxis Release notes - http://code.google.com/p/praxis/wiki/ReleaseNotes Blog post - http://praxisintermedia.wordpress.com/2012/06/21/praxis-live-build120620/ Praxis is a Java-based modular framework for live creative play with video, images, audio, and other media.

[LAU] Lisalo 1.0 - LinuxSampler Loader (Working File for Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra included)

by Nils

This is the Release of Lisalo 1.0 Grab it here, no installing required: git clone git://github.com/nilsgey/Lisalo.git Lisalo - Linux Sampler Loader Linux Sampler Loader is a command line program that loads entire directories of sample files or takes instructions from a meta .lsl file with relative paths to samples. This program exists because you can't share linuxsampler lscp files or even move files around on your own disk. Lscp files only work with absolute paths and are too low level anyway. Now you can quickly and easily load sampled instruments without even starting a GUI. The lsl files are very simple, see example.lsl, and can be shipped around with your sfz sample package like the Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra (lsl file already included in this release) Version 1.0 Licensed under GPLv3 by Nils Gey, June 2012 Only dependencies are Python and Linuxsampler. https://github.com/nilsgey/Lisalo info(a)laborejo.org irc.freenode.org #laborejo

[LAU] metasynth equivalent for linux?

by Robin Paulson

hi all, i've been looking for an equivalent to metasynth which runs on linux. does anyone know of anything in this area? in lieu of my finding anything, i have knocked together some quick scripts which replicate part of what it does, but don't want to reinvent the wheel if it already exists. for those of you who don't know metasynth, it is a very influential and unusual/creative piece of software which allows one to 'draw', aphex twin is often cited as the most well-known user, and it was used in the film 'the matrix', and there are others, possibly autechre if i recall correctly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetaSynth cheers, -- robin http://fu.ac.nz - Auckland's Free University

[LAU] CueFrog.pd: theatre cue player framework initial release

by Jörn Nettingsmeier

hi everyone! thanks to the excellent pd documentation out there and lots of hand holding by friendly pd gurus on this list and elsewhere, here's my humble take at creating a theatre cue player with pd that does what i need... all the heavy lifting is done by august black's excellent readanysf~, thanks for making this tool available! CueFrog is designed to be multi-instance capable, so you can create as many decks as your machine can handle, and makes use of lots of send/receive ports to simulate some kind of object-oriented encapsulation stuff, based on my (limited) understanding of a model/view/controller paradigm. grab it: http://stackingdwarves.net/public_stuff/software/CueFrog/CueFrog-0.0.2.tar.… it's documented, so you should get it going in no time. i'm sure there are many quirks there, and i found out it's very easy to create race conditions in pd, so no warranties :) comments and suggestions for improvements are most welcome. i have a vbap-based panning automation in the works (which has already been used live at a theatre festival), but the code is in oh-my-good-tomorrow-is-dress-rehearsal shape, so forgive me for withholding it another month or so. and before you ask: frogs are cute. and when the director makes me jump, i need tools that jump along :-D best, jörn -- Jörn Nettingsmeier Lortzingstr. 11, 45128 Essen, Tel. +49 177 7937487 Meister für Veranstaltungstechnik (Bühne/Studio) Tonmeister VDT http://stackingdwarves.net

[LAU] new mixes of a recent song

by Dave Phillips

Greetings, After putting up my last song I made the session available to anyone who asked for it. Five intrepid souls downloaded it, three of whom have already responded with their own improvements to the mix. Check 'em out, they're all different, and IMO each one has its virtues and drawbacks. Without further ado, the remixes : From Jason Jones, drummer and owner/operator of Advanced Budget Studios : http://advancedbudgetstudios.com/clients/testbed/On_Board_The_Blues.mp3 From Fons Adriaensen, DSP wizard and audio engineer par excellence, based somewhere in Italy : http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/dp_onboardtheblues.m… From a user known to me only as McGruff on the A3 forum : http://ccgi.mcgruff.plus.com/~mcgruff/music-old/misc/onboard-1.0.ogg And my original mix : http://soundcloud.com/davephillips69/get-on-board-the-blues http://linux-sound.org/audio/Get_On_Board_The_Blues.ogg Comments welcome. I'm waiting on mixes from Ricardus and Burkhard, but of course no-one is under any obligation. If/when they complete their mixes I'll post them too. Thanks to everyone who replied to the announcement of this song, and especially to the remixers. It's great fun listening to what others do to my material. Btw, the vocal was a single take, with no autotune. :) Best, dp

[LAU] qjackctl doesn't show midi keyboard

by Andras Simon

My usb midi keyboard (Edirol PC-50) doesn't show up in qjackctl's connections window. It appears in the logs so I guess it's not a hardware problem. (It also used to work fine with a previous version of the distro I'm using now (Open Suse) and various Fedoras.)
