The only validation I've got for asking this hear is being a 12 or 13 year
member of this group and using linux for everything - especially music, not
to mention this is the smartest group of musically oriented people I've
seen on the net.
My problem is that I've got 4 edirol usb midi interfaces of various types:
UA-20, 2 UM-2, UM-30. They all work fine for passing a signal from a
controller (keyboard, wind synth, FCB1010) to the computer via USB. On my
desktop machine I've got a venerable MAudio 2496 with midi in/out and I've
always had my FCB1010 hooked to it for programming (which unfortunately is
a windows only program). Last week I decided to load a copy of winxp in a
virtual machine on Ubuntu so I could get rid of my windows partition for
good. The virtual windows doesn't seem to see my 2496 at all, so I thought
I'd use one of the edirol interfaces for programming the FCB1010. I found
that when I hooked the FCB1010 midi in to the UM-2 midi out, the FCB1010
goes into error mode. This happens with every one of the edirol devices.
The 2496 works fine with it, but not the edirol usb interfaces. It seems
really far fetched that out of 4 devices the midi out is broken on all of
them, but that's what the evidence is telling me unless I'm missing
something. I'm pretty certain this isn't related to linux or its driver
because I get the same response when booted to native windows.
Does anybody have any clue as to what might be going on? As it is, I've got
to retain the windows partition on this machine since it's the only way I
can program my FCB1010. Not a disaster, but less than ideal.

Hi,
What are the experiences with Translator Pro
http://www.chickensys.com/products/sw_iteminfo.php?sw_name=Translator+Pro ?
Afaik, it does convert to a Windows way of pointing to the path of the
sample, e.g. \ versus /. Are there tools / scripts for converting these
file to a file which works on unix?
Which sfz (conversion) tools are available?
Regards,
\r
I have some old ADAT tapes and I would like to archive the tracks on them to
my computer. I plan to have an ADAT recorder connected via an ADAT/Lightpipe
cable to an internal PCI/PCIe card or to a break out box that is connected to
the computer via firewire. If I play the tapes and record the tracks to disk
with Ardour, will they be transferred losslessly or is there a digital <->
analog conversion happening somewhere in the chain? If there is a conversion
happening, is it anything to be concerned about or would it be high quality
enough to not be noticeable?
Thanks for any feedback.

I should have attached that in my first link!

In their FAQ:
- LV2 is planned for the next version (nice!)
- LADSPA is not planned for the moment (make sense if they support LV2)
Bitwig seem to be designed to be able to jam with loop of your own
creation, similarly to what's available in Ableton Live - this is
something I'm always missing in Linux, being able to easily and
quickly trying out different loop combination with different order to
find out the best composition possible.

I'm proud to announce the release of guitarix2-0.25.2
Guitarix is a mono tube amplifier simulation for jack, with additional
mono/stereo effect racks which can be filled with some in-build effects
as well as with external LADSPA plugins.
Download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/
new in this release:
* add ts9 tube screamer simulation to lv2.plugs
* add dunlop wah / autowah simulation to lv2.plugs
* add booster /treble/low to lv2.plugs
* add factory settings file contributed by kokoko3k
* add patch by Brendan Jones to set (libgxw)library install path
* fix lv2 build on non ix86 arch (only use sse2 when supported by
build host)
* switch to use fixed block-size in zita-convolver for all lv2 amps
(hopefully fixed bug 5252 reported by prokoudine on tracker.ardour)
Please check it out and give feedback if you
find a problem.
