[LAU] OT: hardware problem Behringer FCB1010 and edirol USB midi adaptors.

by Bill Allen

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. Regards, Bill

[LAU] sfz convert / tools

by rosea.grammostola

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

[LAU] Archive ADAT tapes

by linux-audio＠to11.net

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.

[LAU] The State of Bitwig

> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeH0i-M0tC0 > > The video is just a few days old and shows what's in Bitwig at the moment. I should have attached that in my first link! http://www.bitwig.com/faqs.html 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.
