There are only 3 hosts that I know of that can (or will be able to) combine plugins in a modular way: ams, Ingen and Carla. Ingen and Carla both support LV2, and can be loaded as instrument (at least for Ingen, not sure about Carla), what would linux-native VSTi bring? Aurélien

[LAU] Trouble with zita-mu1 installation

by Touch Style

Ciao! I am iterested in zita-mu1 ( http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/zita-mu1-doc/quickguide.html). As described in http://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=12120&p=49453&hilit=zita#p49…, I am trying to compiling this uesful tool myself (the .deb package is not present in KXStudio 12.04 repos). Has someone done it? Thanks! -- *Dedenis AKA Touchstyle* *EMail : touchstyle (at) gmail (dot) com* *Web : http://www.touchstyle.it <http://www.touchstyle.it>*

[LAU] progressive time stretch

by Renato

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a percussion piece written in hydrogen and recorded from there into ardour 3, one track per instrument. At a certain point I'd like to have an accelerando, i.e. a progressive tempo increase. What are my options? Best would be able to do it from within ardour, having many tempo changes, ardour set as jack master, so that when I play that part it gradually increases the jack playback tempo. The second solution would be to export the mix from ardour and use another program to increase the tempo in the .wav file. The problem is I'm not sure how exactly go about for neither solution... for the first one, could I use a knob on my midi controller to generate a smooth succession of tempo changes? How? For the second, which program could I use? I seem to recall there was some utility to generate rubberband map files, but I can't find it ATM. cheers, renato -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJS/llYAAoJEBz6xFdttjrf2XsH/2hP0asPC0gbje4AT6aNTf5f vByKypVexk4VD9OdHzCO3ypIaEU7zZPa2jKNcBkvKIsGF6BTUNkwwhpl0LNEAOJe tch/9j1boZV/+aM1lZ2/wEkKfAmC9WXG+8bW1hIcaENdTd40sbdPdQvrP3stSL4s sr5OuLSY+c9Gr/mZeXBkphqINFjBlrtEPFROh/709MBnctC5Y7iJto7XkogYz7C8 A5fHETF5xpvJ69L3HkOXNqGzzgDTAN8cC7rlXptqZ3LjyUd+6gNFAmruGICmeWss Khiy4htOXlNsVXWW7u/7VPhPxgDrfvDh8dJadFfU/XhtIxU+089uzEzVUeCJjsI= =tL4C -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

by Tim Goetze

CAPS 0.9.19 =========== http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html The latest release of this collection of LADSPA plugins extends the dynamics modulation capabilities of the 'virtual guitar amplifier' AmpVTS and fixes a nasty bug in the Noisegate circuit that had been causing spurious gain fluctuations in closed gate state. http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#Download Upgrading is recommended. Enjoy, Tim

[LAU] Jack and WiFi

by Clifford Dunn

So my previous email about the Focusrite can be discarded...I linked all the clicking and pops to the wifi. With it turned off, I have no issue. This is fine and great for my music production, but what do I do if I want to browse the net and listen to my music collection? Currently, it'll crackle like crazy. Thanks!

[LAU] Script to clean up Ardour unused files ?

by jonetsu＠teksavvy.com

'Script' might be a big word, but a command-line way to remove all the files that are not used in Ardour(3). Is it safe to assume that all files found in ../dead/ can be removed without deleting files that are in use ?

For a MIDI based composition environment athenacl is a very dense python based command line composition program. It does have a steep learning curve but the thick documentation is good. I don't think it is exactly what you are looking for but if you are interested in creating your own composition environment, this might be worthwhile. It seems to be intended for music students who can extend it with python. http://www.flexatone.org/athena.html If you are more interested in live coding ixi is a fun and easy to comprehend command line program, built on top of SuperCollider. It probably wouldn't be the center of a full composition, but its command line syntax is sweet. http://ixi-audio.net/ixilang/index.html Renick Bell blew me away at LAC2013 using his Conductive library for Haskell. It appears that you could compose a whole piece as a program or revise the program on the fly. http://www.renickbell.net/doku.php?id=conductive -- Jeff Sandys

[LAU] jaaa

by Will Godfrey

I've just been using this to do some tests on an Amp and it's produced some interesting and useful results. However, I would really like a log frequency scale. Is this a practical future option? I'm using V 0.8.4 which comes with debian testing. -- 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.

[LAU] A text-only environment for composing electronic music?

by Mario Lang

Hi. I am looking for a programmable (text mode) seuqnecer solution. I know that Linux has a few small languages for creating MIDI files, like MMA. Even LilyPond can be tricked into being a MIDI file generating language. However, none of the solutions I have seen so far could be easily integrated as the center/hub of a full composition. I am imagining a workflow where I do not need to click my way through a sequencer, setting up all the content and connections, but rather define a composition in terms of source code. For this to be useful, it should include conventional sample playback, as well as real time MIDI event generation. I am not sure if we have a sufficiently remote-controllable sampler without GUI requirements, but if we do, I might be able to get away by using that via OSC or MIDI, instead of re-inventing the sampler wheel. However, it feels like it would be good to have the sample definitions part of the composition source code file. After all, I finally want all the meta-data required to play my composition together in more or less one play (modulo include files). This composition compiler should ideally support JACK, with stuff like transport control. It should be able to support optional hardware synths, which will be controlled via MIDI messages and mixed back into the full result via an input JACK port. I am aware of the KISS principle and actually love it very much. So if anyone has suggestions on how to implement such a workflow/tool with existing tools and plumbing code, I am very open to ideas and suggestions. However, I get a feeling that what I want is only convenient if relatively tightly integrated, so that I do not have to tinker with too many individual tools while trying to be productive. Any hint on how to get such an environement going is very appreciated. This is actually a long-long-term project of mine: Since I have started to play with computers, I have always been frustrated by the lack of accessibility of tools to create electronic music. I have occasionally managed to get limited solutions working for me, and have always had very much fun creating content when it sort of worked for me. In the good old DOS days, there were (due to the limits in what a PC could do) still some people trying to implement pure text-mode solutions, which sometimes worked really good with a braille display. I remember creating several tracks with ModEdit on MS-DOS in one particular summer in the late 90s. Using that felt quite productive, but also limited (due to a 4-track limit). When I switched to Linux in 97, I had many new things to learn and was quite busy, not really caring about the sequencer thing. But later on, I had to discover that the situation for me has gotten a lot worse now: All the big Linux sequencers were purely graphical and not accessible through other means either. The same situation is mostly true for Windows and Mac OS X unfortunately. The obvious solutions like Reactor, Fruityloops or Abelton Live are all far from being even remotely usable for blind musicians. As far as I currently understand, the chances of finding usable support for some professional screen reading solution and music composition on Windows is relatively low, plus it might cost me a lot of money. So I might as well try once again, and stay on Linux, where I actually belong. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕
