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)

I've been slowing working my way though Yoshimi, looking for bugs and trying
to understand the code, with some success. However, I've come across something
that has me completely stumped.
On a modern machine if you look in the AdSynth edit window 'Detune' shows a
variable number of trailing digits, where it should only show 2 after the
decimal point. This is also true of all cases where a recalculated slider value
is indirectly shown in an associated uneditable box. It happens nowhere else.
I've seen this on 64bit dual core AMDs and on 32bit Atoms. However, on an
AthlonXP the problem doesn't occur.
At first I thought it might be due to different version of FLTK but having tried
various releases of debian, from 'lenny' up to the current 'testing', the
*only* differentiating feature I can discover is that the AthlonXP doesn't
recognise the sse flag.
Finally, to add to the confusion, compiling on any of the other machines,
without the sse flag set, still produces the fault - I'm wondering if even
without this, some math feature is still being used that causes the fault.
Any help or suggestions would be gratefully welcomed!

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
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.
Hi all,
this is the first song released from a small live show that I recorded
recently.
The Band is "Shivat Zion", an Israeli Reggae band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZS57xoBET4
Everything was done with Linux software.
Software I used:
Arch Linux
Ardour 3
Calf Lv2 effects (several)
GxZita_reverb (which I just recently discovered, and what should I say...
what a sweeet sounding reverb, new favorite)
Also played around with the new meters.lv2 bundle, I think though that I
didn't get the full idea of R128 yet.
Invada Dynamics processing
TAP
Everything regarding the Video work was done by my brother Michael.
He used KDEnlive to edit the video, also on an Arch machine.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers,
Moshe

We are happy to announce the next issue of the Linux Audio Conference
(LAC), May 1-4, 2014 @ ZKM | Institute for Music and Acoustics, in
Karlsruhe, Germnany.
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2014/
The Linux Audio Conference is an international conference that brings
together musicians, sound artists, software developers and researchers,
working with Linux as an open, stable, professional platform for audio
and media research and music production. LAC includes paper sessions,
workshops, and a diverse program of electronic music.
*Call for Papers, Workshops, Music and Installations*
We invite submissions of papers addressing all areas of audio processing
and media creation based on Linux. Papers can focus on technical,
artistic and scientific issues and should target developers or users. In
our call for music, we are looking for works that have been produced or
composed entirely/mostly using Linux.
The online submission of papers, workshops, music and installations is
now open at http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2014/participation
The Deadline for all submissions is January 27th, 2014 (23:59 HAST).
You are invited to register for participation on our conference website.
There you will find up-to-date instructions, as well as important
information about dates, travel, lodging, and so on.
This year's conference is hosted by the ZKM | Institute for Music und
Acoustics (IMA). The IMA is a forum for international discourse and
exchange and combines artistic work with research and development in the
context of electroacoustic music. By holding concerts, symposia and
festivals on a regular basis it brings together composers, musicians,
musicologists, music software developers and listeners interested in
contemporary music. Artists in Residence and software developers work on
their productions in studios at the institute. With digital sound
synthesis, algorithmic composition, live-electronics up to radio plays,
interactive sound installations and audiovisual productions their
creations cover a broad range of what digital technology can inspire the
musical fantasy to.
The ZKM is proud to be the place of the LAC for the fifth time after
having initiated the conference in 2003.

We look forward to seeing you in Karlsruhe in May!
Sincerely,
The LAC 2014 Organizing Team
Cleaning out hard drives again.
Found this little gem, covered with obvious mistakes, (which is why it was never really published) but still interesting if you like weird jazz in odd meters:

Linux content is all the keyboards, which are: fluidsynth, two crazy AMS patches, jconv, jack-rack, etc.
Warning: it's 18 minutes long.
Part of it is in 11/4. There's also a nice windshield wiper moment where 3 bars of 5/4 are overlaid on 2 bars of 5/4.
The end of this epic beast consists of a cover of "Morning Bell" by Radiohead.

Here it is, played live:
https://vimeo.com/78583355
I was playing playing bass and keyboards simultaneously there; our bass player had another gig that night. My Linux laptop was behind me, not seen; this was after I'd set up the MIDI keyboard to control all the synths. But it was right before I set up buttons on the Novation to switch patches quickly, so I was twiddling knobs to cycle through them.
Synths/tools played in the video are fluidsynth, jack-rack, jconv, many LADSPA plugins, nekostring, and AMS.
We were set up on stage wrong; the drummer and I couldn't see each other, which annoyed both of us, and there were all kinds of missteps because of that. But this is the best live video I have of that peice.
If you enjoyed the studio version, you might like the live version too.

Looks like it might be useful for custom linux instruments, using a Raspberry Pi or BeageBone, or even just for controlling Ardour on a PC:
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pitouch-hdmi-multitouch-monitor-for-raspb…
Endorsement/disclosure: I have done some linux and Android development work for this guy in the past, and helped him research linux support for this project (which was very quick and easy: the multitouch is built in to kernel 3.2 and later, works out of the box).
The audio version uses HDMI, but for input one could use an external USB interface (with the USB hub version on a Pi/Beagle), or something more custom. If used with a PC instead, then one could use FFADO, etc.

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!
Munk!
