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) -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net

Need some programming help.

by Will Godfrey

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! -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Music made with Linux "Naale Lezion - Shivat Zion"

by Moshe Werner

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

More old crazed jazz

by Ken Restivo

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: http://storage.restivo.org/music/Cronies/suite-2007-11-06.ogg 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. -ken

Some music made with linux, from the vaults

by Ken Restivo

Found these cleaning an old hard drive, all made with Linux, Fluidsynth, Ardour, PHASEX, JACKRACK, seq24, jace, and probably others. Techno-ish and featuring PHASEX heavily: http://storage.restivo.org/music/krmusic/semipublished/breakfast-at-one-0.1… Funky in 9/4 and with enough shifting patterns that the 1 is pretty much arbitrary (the way I like it), and also using PHASEX in the background: http://storage.restivo.org/music/krmusic/semipublished/allure-oddmeter-0.1.… These are both from August 2007, according to the git history. Enjoy. -ken

Live video of that progressive jazz monstrosity

by Ken Restivo

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. -ken
