My regret in life is that I didn't spend more time as a youth studying
math and music theory. Very interesting links. Thanks.

Agreed. His genius shines each time we play his simplest compositions.
Lots of harmony lessons to learn!

Hello all,
Sorry of this sounds simplistic, but I haven't found the 'load'
button in envy24control. I've saved a config using the 1st position,
giving it a name, a pressing the 'save active profile', all under the
profiles tab, but how to load it back ? When I restart the utility it
doe snot show this saved profile at 1st position but moreover, there's
no 'load that profile' button. It's getting tiresome to always set
basic parameters at each restart.
Thanks.
Hi everyone,
I released a new version of the avw.lv2 plugins today - version 0.0.8.
You can grab it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/avwlv2/
or on GitHub here: https://github.com/blablack/avw.lv2
This new version doesn't include much changes:
- David Robillard updated some of the port to the new Voltage Control format.
- The code was cleaned a bit.
I was able to create very basic synths, so it seems usable :)
You'll need to grab the latest version of Ingen though to avoid a few
crashed (at least SVN 4506)
I as well started to create Youtube tutorial for Ingen.
The first one is available here:
http://youtu.be/9nC7giX1ToQ
As it is the first one, do not hesitate to provide me with feedback!
Thanks in advance,
Aurélien
P.S: Thanks to David for the fixes in Ingen and the patch for AVW.
Hey all,
New song recorded in Ardour 2, sound sources include wav loops, Calf Synths
(organ) & Effects (reverb, phaser, multiband comp :) and a little
zynAddSubFX to get some nice pads...

Direct link (mp3 I'm fraid... flac download from the link above available)
http://media.soundcloud.com/stream/hm1p9XJxikBB?stream_token=ZDT3d
It was made in about 3 hours during the day, not much time was spent on
mastering / post, so excuse any dodgy bits :)

Not strictly linux-related, but open-source audio related:
Are there any other native Java Vorbis encoders than the Xiph.org one I found which says it is beta and dates back to 2007?
There are native Java MP3 encoders though, so I might end up using that, but I'd rather use Vorbis if possible.

Audio for my Vbox does work without PA.

Heres some evidence that Mozart played with 'more keys' if he could get them
http://tonalsoft.com/monzo/55edo/55edo.htm
Bach used Werckmeister-III, today we use equal temperament. They are
crudely similar in that all keys are usable. In Werckmeister however all
keys are subtly different. In ET all are the same. So for Bach, it seems he
was such a genius that that is not recognized/understood even 4 centuries
after him. More at http://www.kylegann.com/histune.html#hist3

They are different pointers to the same acoustic phenomenon. Which can
be useful to have in one context and confusing in another one.

Reminds me of Heisenbergs observation about speed and/or location of
particles.
Every question I ask about the world hides a question about my
thinking. So for me there's not much wrong with theories that help me
structure my thoughts about one phenomenon but fail on a different
one. The only value they can have is that of their application.
OTOH: for me most theoretical models are dangerous if not useless
without minimal knowledge of their history and how they used to be
applied. And that's quite a lot to learn from my perspective, so
wanting to discard them altogether looks like an obvious idea to have.
I am nor sure if that would work though. IMO it takes a whole lot of
knowledge to forget them, as they usually describe much of the
listeners expectations within an individual style. As difficult
listening without expectations may be, playing that way seems next to
impossible for me.
It's the listening ear that turns sound into music.
That's my perspective. Feel free to find it as weird as I do.

Greetings,
Last week was really amazing here in Findlay OH USA. We suffered through
an incredible storm with 90 mph winds, then had no power and 100+ degree
(F) heat every day for the next seven days. I have an entirely new
appreciation for 1) the people who went through Katrina and 2) the
humble electron.
Anyway, I found some blues songs relating the effects of floods -
Charley Patton's High Water Rising and John Lee Hooker's Tupelo are two
great examples - and I found one that at least mentioned disaster by
fire (Muddy Waters' You Can't Lose What You Never Had), but I didn't fnd
any that dealt with extreme hot weather. Anyone know of any such songs ?
In the spirit of the thing here's a reprise of my first song completed
in Ardour, a long time ago (circa 2004 ?) :
http://linux-sound.org/audio/talkin.ogg
Okay, well, I think my singing's improved a little since then.
"It's like talkin 'bout the weather never seems to change a thing..."
Seriously, if any of you put up with the same stuff last week that we
"enjoyed" I sincerely hope you're doing better now. It was one for the
record books around here.
Best,
dp
Hi
I'm trying to use my novation launchpad with chuck. It seems to be
plug/play, at least I didn't do anything except plug and play :-)
However it's acting a bit strange in one regard. The first time I handle
(read presses from the launchpad and sends something back to turn lights
on/off) it works as expected.
However the next time I launch my chuck code (without turning off =
unplugging the launchpad) it doesn't send presses. However the arrow up,
down, left and right buttons (or at least the up-one, that's what I got
used to use) works and after pressing it the other buttons start sending
again.
Every once in a while, it's the other way around, I have to press a grid
button before the arrow pads start sending.
I checked my chuck code quite thoroughly, and played with various things
to remedy the problem, but still it might be something I send that
messes up the launchpad.
Can anyone recognize this behavior? Or the opposite: testify that it
works without this quirk? Any ideas how to approach the problem, narrow
down the possibilities and hopefully eventually find a fix?
NB: I'm running arch linux with kernel 3.0-rt...
