Greetings,
The subject says it all. I recently had a tech replace the batteries in
two Yamaha DPM11 mixers. As expected, all presets were lost, but I was
able to restore them by a direct sysex transmission from one unit to the
other (before that one's battery replacement). Alas, the transmitted
data doesn't "keep", i.e. when the machine is turned off the battery
appears to be draining its charge, because the presets are gone when I
power up again. Grrrr.
Also, simplesysexxer seems to receive and transmit a bulk dump with no
problems, but the units do not respond correctly. The first preset gets
copied, then I receive an error code "cE". I could make good use of the
machine's error code definitions now, but the only service manual I
found available on the net is from a private dealer who wants too much
money for it. I'll try contacting a retired Yamaha tech in Toledo OH,
but does anyone on these lists have an idea what I should do ? Btw, the
units work fine now, they just don't keep their presets.
Any & all assistance greatly appreciated !
Best,
dp
Do you know if it's possible to have a better control of time stretching
in VLC?
I know that I can use - and + to change the speed, but I cannot control
the _amount_ of speed.
Do you know if it's possible?
Actually, I'm a happy user of Stretchplayer, which allows to set the
speed at a specific percentage.
But Stretchplayer runs only on Linux and I want to recommend a similar
software to some friends who use Windows. VLC is the first option, since
it's Free.
Otherwise, I know that there is Transcribe (closed source).
Any advice appreciated

CAPS 0.9.3's guitar amplification contains four new tonestacks,
distortion asymmetry dependent on output power and other sound
improvements. The modulation of the mono chorus has been smoothened,
and the Plate default parameters have been restored to be nearer the
more reverberant response of the older versions.

There's also a 0.4.6 release, stamped 'obsolete', containing all the
plugins that were in 0.4.5 but did not make the cut to 0.9. There are
no duplicate plugin IDs, and the library is differently named, so both
versions can co-exist on one system.

Hi,
my first post to the list. I hope MIDI issues are appropriate for
it. I'm an amateur classical guitar player and I'm starting to use the
computer as a "partner" to play duets, trios, etc.
At the moment I just enter a score in either GNU Denemo or Rosegarden,
then just tweak a little bit the tempo and the velocities to make it
more musical and then I play along with that. But the whole thing is
very time consuming, so I'm looking for an alternative way for note
input. I am hoping for something like the following:
1. I just enter the notes, regardless of the duration of each of them.
2. Then I go into a second phase, where (using the PC keyboard or a MIDI
keyboard) I just worry about the rhythm (the note durations). Every
time I press a new key in the keyboard the program would play the
next note from the ones entered in step 1. and record its duration. I
don't care about how the score will look with these durations. I just
want an easy way to create a more musical accompaniment. This way, at
this step I only have to worry about the durations of each note.
3. The same idea, but for velocities, so I could easily create piano,
fortes, crescendos, etc.
Is there any MIDI editor that would let me do something like this? If
not, do you think it could be easily implemented? If so, I could perhaps
contribute with some programming, but I would need some pointers as to
where to start (I have never done any music/MIDI programming, though I
have plenty of experience programming in other fields).
Thanks,

FASTER! HARDER! LONGER!
Is the aptly titled debut album of PistonFunkMachine! Its apt as the bulk
of it was recorded over the last three days of 2012 barely weeks after the
bands inception and before having played live together properly. Please
give it a listen at http://pistonfunkmachine.bandcamp.com/
Ricky, chief PFM! song meister and I have played and recorded with various
bands over the last 15 years and in Ricky's case this is the 22nd album he
has recorded but it is the first album any of us have recorded entirely in
a professional studio. We funded this ourselves so we're hoping we can sell
a few copies and at least break even but we're selling it so cheap we're
almost giving it away.
I have been heavily involved with the Linux, and especially the Linux audio
community for a number of years now so its with regret I have to confess we
didn't make much use of Linux or free software in the recording of this
album, although it still played a part. The studio we used was based around
REAPER so to save myself any potential import/export headaches with the two
tracks (most of 'Hard so hard' and all of 'When you're around') for which I
had pre-programmed drums I created them using REAPER running under wine.
REAPER is officially supported and runs very well under Linux/wine but I'm
more interested in seeing the real, native Linux port get finished. Until
then I'll continue to keenly follow MusE, qtractor and Ardour - projects
which will surely get used in the recording of future PFM! tracks.
The other, bigger Linux connection for this album is the artwork which
originates from Hiroshi Seo's fantastic Ubunchu! manga that I modified and
coloured using good ol' GIMP. We are very grateful to Seotch and Ubuntu
Magazine Japan for letting us adapt and use his wonderful artwork.
We hope you enjoy listening to FASTER! HARDER! LONGER! and we are
especially grateful to those who support us or provide feedback!

Hiho,
has anyone tried the Marian Trace Out 8/16 soundcard on Linux?
http://www.marian.de/en/products/trace_out_816
In the ALSA sound card matrix I see the Trace D4 supported, but I don't
know how similar these cards are...
sincerely,
Marije
Hello everyone,
I just released today a new version of the avw.lv2 plugins.
As a reminder, this project started as a porting of the Alsa Modular Synth
internal modules to LV2 plugins: VCO, LFO, VCF, etc... Teamed up with
Ingen, they can be used to create modular synths or analog drum machines
(but the list is not exhaustive!).
But in the latest versions, the suite saw the addition of a few other
plugins not coming from AMS:
- a (very basic) DownSampler that can be used as a filter to degrade the
sound
- a Granulator which is a granular effect for real time audio - interesting
for VCOs, but as well for vocals, guitars or even drums
- a Beat Repeater and a Beat Slicer: the Beat Repeater would repeat a
certain number of beats, where the Beat Slicer would repeat randomly beats
in a bar - again I find them pretty interesting for drums and guitars
They can be downloaded here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/avwlv2/files/avw.lv2-0.1.2.tar.gz/download
SVN: svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/avwlv2/code/trunk avw.lv2
GIT: git clone https://github.com/blablack/avw.lv2.git
For Ubuntu users, a PPA is available:
https://launchpad.net/~blablack/+archive/music-prod
Finally, although I have been tested these plugins extensively and wrote
them to be easy and straight forward to use, please please please provide
any ideas, feedbacks, bug reports, anything to improve them!
Hope you enjoy them!

Hi
I've chosen the option 3 (route PulseAudio to JACK while JACK is
running) of this guide:
http://jackaudio.org/pulseaudio_and_jack
BTW, http://trac.jackaudio.org/ is down since yesterday.
It used to work fine in the past but I'm having an issue just after
using Stretchplayer (and therefore jack).
I'm on Debian testing (Gnome 3.4.2). I can't see anymore the audio
applet. In Settings»Audio I see that there's no output device.
The applications that are trying to use Pulseaudio are listed but of
course no sound is produced.
jackd is not running.
pulseaudio-module-jack is installed and my ~/.pulse/default.pa contains
the following lines:
load-module module-native-protocol-unix
load-module module-jack-sink channels=2
load-module module-jack-source channels=2
load-module module-null-sink
load-module module-stream-restore
load-module module-rescue-streams
load-module module-always-sink
load-module module-suspend-on-idle
set-default-sink jack_out
set-default-source jack_in
How can I debug this problem?
Thanks in advance

The "discussion" already stopped.
It would be interesting to get some true information about the GEMA. I
never claimed that it's true, I always said that I need information.
Any explanations are welcome. Explanations, not links to AGBs (general
business terms).

Ralf
