My sense is that the reason for the extra SATA port is not for faster
access, but to unload the USB port of some of it's traffic. This should
make audio more reliable. It does on my atom based machine. A second
separate USB port would have the same effect. (not an internal bridge)

Just a little, mellow improvisation with yoshimi DX rhodes while testing
my E-MU midi-usb dongle with my ancient yamaha keyboard. No editing,
just recorded directly through jack...
Dedicated with admiration and appreciation to all you sleepless open
source developers out there :-)

Good night,
Lorenzo.
Munk!, a jazz/ska/funk band from Groningen, The Netherlands, has
released an album made with free software, The Magnetophon Sessions.
During the hot part of summer 2013, Munk! stayed at the cultural
freezone Landbouwbelang in Maastricht (The Netherlands) for a week and
recorded seven new tracks in the unique and inspiring studio
Magnetophon. During the recordings we played with the whole band at
once, to get the most musical results. All tracks are
one-take-recordings, no edits where made when mixing the album.
The Magnetophon Sessions is produced with opensource and free software
on GNU/Linux.
Most notably: Ardour2 for recording and mixing, LADSPA plugins for
mixing, Gimp for graphics, Lives for video art.
Recorded & mixed by Bart Brouns at Studio Magnetophon Maastricht

Our advise on price for the digital download would be in the range of 5
-- 10 euro, but there's no minimum or maximum, so feel free, thanks for
your support!

Hello everyone!
Here is the serious piece of electronic music. Rather more depressive than I
would have predicted.
First though I have to express my gratitude to Alison Utter for the sweet
vocals, that she has supplied. Thanks! And then we have the links:
http://juliencoder.de/nama/borrowed_time.ogghttp://juliencoder.de/nama/borrowed_time.mp3
And the lyrics:

Or you can access it all from the music page:

Now about that song: technically speaking I used a lot of Midish and Nama.
And for the first time I really came to appreciate Ecasound's LV2-support. So
also a big thanks to Jeremy Salwen, who contributed that feature!
Musically, this is a mixture of different influences. I'm still not sure, if
it should be categorised as pop or electronica. there's some dubstep in this,
as well as some hiphop - in German! :-) - and some basic depressive pop. As to
instruments used: almost everything I have at my disposal. In software I only
used LinuxSampler for the Solina sample. Thanks to the friend, who made a
present of it to me! It's a versatile instrument!
This latest experiment concluded, I will just lean back and relax. As ever:
feedback is very welcome!
Warm regards and enjoy
Julien

Hello all,
A quick message to announce a new set of lv2 plugins: midimsg.lv2.
In a nutshell, these plugins are used to transform midi messages into
usable values.
At the moment, modwheel, controller and channel aftertouch is available.
These are usefull to control parameters of other LV2 plugins via midi.
They can be downloaded here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/midimsglv2/files/midimsg.lv2-0.0.1.tar.gz/d…
I would be really interrested to get any feedback regarding this new project.
enjoy :)

Hello all Users & Devs of linux-audio-land,
Moving forward from the topic on Aeolus and forking projects, perhaps it is
wise to look at how the community as a whole can grow from this situation:
1) It seems the frustration of forks is mainly due to lack of communication.
2) Had appropriate communication been in place, patches could have been
merged.
3) If 1) and 2), then the community flourishes as a whole.
In the Aeolus thread on LAD, Michel Dominique wrote (and I feel its
relevant here):
"That imply we must communicate more with each other"
"I think this is a big problem, and not only related to Fons work, or the
LAD, but to the whole community."
The mailing list you're reading from now is one of the central hubs for the
community:
The -developers list is the perfect place to announce projects, forks,
patches etc.
The -users list is good for asking users and interested parties questions.
I will try to announce more patches / code, to contribute upstream, and
hopefully benefit the community.
Cheers, -Harry
Hi folks!,
I'm currently using Linuxsampler for my GIG stuff and I'm wondering if I
should port my samples to SFZ.
This is a very time consuming thing, where Natural Drum Kit (2+G +) is
the most important one. It's very complicated to make a drum kit work as
it should, the hi hats has for example varied degrees of openness, not
only notes and the sample players handle this with the idea of
dimensions. The openness is usually handles by an expression pedal or
modulation wheel when an Hi Hat pedal is not involved.
Speaking about Hi Hat: One SFZ thing Linuxsampler does not handle (at
the moment) is closing the previous samples when you trigger new ones
when you varies the openness of it (in other word: it don't do it when
you're keeping the same note), that mean that you can't play the sample
library as a drummer would. The Linuxsampler devs took away this
functionality early this year from the SVN repo. The (really bad)
solution for now is to make a separate sample library for HHs and spread
the varied openness items to different notes, then every trigging of a
note can mute the previous sample.
Natural Drum Kit is not the only library that have varied HH openness, I
know that ANALOGUE DRUMS also does and i guess that most proffesional
libraries have it.
So my question is: Are someone aware of a decent Gig/SFZ sample player
for Linux that can (or will) handle professional drum samples as
described above?
Thanks,
Jostein
