Hi list,
I have been search the archives and the web a bit and it seems there is
no easy way to route html5 audio playback from firefox through jack on
Debian testing.
Is this still the case or has there been recent development that might
enable it? What would have to be done to make it work? This
functionality is the last piece in my puzzle to finally get rid of
flash.
thanks for pointers,
P
Hi there!
ShowQ is a unique cue-player for Linux-Audio-Users. I use it as a core
application for my theater activities.
Even in the linux-community it's not a very well known application,
although there's no other linux-program (I know) if you need a
one-shot-audio-player with features like f.e. programmable fade-in,
fade-out, no matter if you want it time-based or triggered by space (or
another key).
It can do a lot more - ShowQ has MIDI-support. Although I never tested
this feature, it should be possible to control any application with
MIDI-support. QLC(+) f.e. - or maybe some video-players do support MIDI
- I don't know...
Yeah, of course, ShowQ is not a drop in replacement for QLAB, but
speaking about audio it fits quiet perfectly in my setup.
ShowQ is in the Debian (and Ubuntu?) repositories, it's written in C++
and of course released under the terms of the GPL. Although this app is
quiet useful for technicians like me, the development stopped years ago.
I am not a coder, but I do my best to keep this project alive. On the
Debian bug-tracker I write bug-reports for ShowQ, hoping that on one
hand it's useful for other users to work around problems, on the other
hand that someone fixes them.
Last time I reported a bug Jaromír Mikeš the Debian-maintainer of ShowQ
wrote that he is not able to fix the bugs and he would like to kick
ShowQ. Of course, he also would like to package an alternative if there
would be some he could package.
I don't know any - so my linux-based theater setup is about to be killed
one day when ShowQ wouldn't compile on my debian machine, anymore.
So, what do I want from you?
Test ShowQ! Maybe it's the app you've been missing for a long time!
And if you're a coder with C++-skills, check out my bugreports on
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=showq
- maybe you've got the clue...
OR: Got an alternative to ShowQ? You're welcome!
Greets!

Hello.
Debian 8.7 here.
Trying to build Sonic Visualiser 3.0 or 3.0.1
./configure
[...] blah
configure: Failed to find required module capnp using pkg-config,
trying again by old-fashioned means configure: error: Failed to find
appropriate capnp library
But i have installed :
i capnproto
i libcapnp-0.5.3
i libcapnp-dev
i libpcapnav0
i libpcapnav0-dev
Do i missed a package/library ? Or Debian 8.7 is already too old to
build Sonic Visualiser 3.0 / 3.0.1 ?
Any help/advice would be appreciate.
Hi,
Bigups to @NovaDeviator
Some of you might be interested in a new distribution system for your
music based on the #stream2own mechanism.
http://resonate.is
#stream2own aims to give listeners and artists a fair deal. Each paid
stream cost exponentially more upto the 9th stream and then the track is
owned by the listener and they can download the track or stream for free.
A fully paid track costs E1.25.
Artists who upload tracks get access to the beta program to start earning
credits immediately.*
Resonate is a co-op where all the shareholders get one vote independent of
the number of shares owned AND artists, fans are also eligible for a share
of the profits. It's a new paradigm for music distribution where the goal
is to fairly reimburse artists/producers for their hard work instead of
enabling a few board members to get 6 figure salaries and private
yachts/jets/etc...
* Artists earn 70% of every paid stream of their tracks. have voting
rights and also get access to a portion of the total profits.

Small and not especially pretty, but brightens up the Spring with sweet song.
HIGHLIGHTS
MIDI-learn has been extended so that you can now learn:
Aftertouch
The pitch wheel (14 bit resolution)
NRPNs (also 14 bit).
There is a 'Settings' option to always open the editing window on a sucessful
'learn'.
Main volume now has interpolation so there is no zipper noise, and part volume
and pan have better interpolation for the same reason.
LFO frequency and depth are now fully dynamic.
A number of actions are now 'soft' in that a fast fade is performed, then the
synth is disabled, the action takes place, and the synth is re-enabled.
The 'Solo' feature now ignores a value of zero if it is in 'Loop' mode. This
means you can use a simple on/off switch control to step through the parts only
when it gets the 'on' value.
More tooltips give real values on hovering. Some also give small graphic
representations.
We have a new splash screen, which also doesn't block anymore. There is now
also a 'Util' directory which has the tools, instructions and examples to
enable you to create a personalised splash.
To build yoshimi fetch the tarball from either:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi
(once sourceforge sorts itself out again)
Or:

Hi,
the Wiki [ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Professional_audio ]
opens with...
"This article or section needs expansion." and a link to the
discussion, but I still don't understand what actually is missing.
...followed by an unrealistic claim about grotesque low latency.
The article included wrong information, I already removed
"If you want to use any MIDI hardware you need to ensure the ALSA MIDI
driver is loaded. You can set the MIDI driver to load at boot by
creating the file /etc/modules-load.d/alsamidi.conf containing:"
IIRC apart from a bug that caused that the driver wasn't loaded, the
driver always gets loaded automatically.
There are claims about rtc, 1000Hz. This was valid, but IMO should be
obsolete now.
Etc., pp. ...
I don't want to rewrite the Wiki, especially because I won't and/or
can't test every hint. Please contribute to the Wiki and/or to the
"This and that" discussion
[ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Professional_audio ].
Regards,
Ralf

"Michael" described Floyd as "an idiot savant", and added, "Give him
any two numbers, and he can multiply them in his head, just like that."
Homer, testing Floyd, said, "Five times nine", and Floyd instantly
responded "Forty-five", which impressed Homer.
I thought it about time I started looking at these to get an idea of what's
avaialble, and was rather surprised to find the two nearest seemed to be fully
booked for the conference dates - although admittedly one is right in the city
centre.
I was hoping to find one a reasonable walking distance. Anyone sorted theirs
yet?

There has been much argument as to whether a graphical interface is best with
independent windows, or with a single window (with or without tabs). Here in
the Yoshimi workshop, the only type of arguments we like are the startup CLI
ones! Therefore we've been working on a quite novel idea.
This came about when one of our team (who still uses a CRT monitor) found that
a cheap ionizer dramatically reduced the static discharges he kept getting. He
quickly realised that ionization could be used to control both static
attraction and repulsion. Thinking there must be an enhanced IT equivalent he
hacked up some software ionization code.
The idea actually worked. Damp down one window's positive charges and the
other's negative component and they'd immediately stick together - overlapping
(trying to balance their fields). He called this a 'Polarising Object
Stratifier'. Making the windows repel was a bit of a problem as they tended to
get a bit agressive and would fly right off the edges of the screen.
We were a bit surprised when Mary spoke up.
"It's on a CRT right? So why not use an ion trap magnet?"
We didn't know she was old enough to remember them (nobody was brave enough to
ask her age). Then after a pause. "Everything else is software these days, so
why not a software IoT magnet?" She was on a roll now, and seeing the disbelief
on our faces, said, "Oh you wimps! Can't even sort out this P.O.S. I'll code it
myself with Ada."
What can I say? She built it, and it worked. However, the IoT magnet had to be
treated with care - it wouldn't do for it to interfere with other unrelated
systems. As the associated hardware was designed and built by most of the team
we decided to call it the Joint Unified Node Controller.
Things were going really well. Everyone thought putting P.O.S. code into IoT
J.U.N.C. was a great idea. With some fine tuning of both electrostatic and
magnetic fields in windows, Bonded Ordinate Tracking 'nets' could be made to
attach to each other as a single blob, discretely slip under to work unseen, or
tuck themselves almost out of sight into the corners. They jiggled a bit -
rather adding to the charm. The PR and marketing departments were ecstatic.
That was yesterday.
Anyone remember the thunderstorm? We'll never forget it! There was a lightning
strike almost directly overhead.
We'd left the unit on test overnight and think all those finely balanced forces
were suddenly released, and at the same time the strength of the IoT magnet
must have increased by many orders of magnitude. Fortunately there was nobody
in the building. However, when we went in this morning, we were sorry to see
the kit had sort-of imploded.
That thunderstorm must have really been something. It seems to have taken out
our ISP for several hours, though he rang me around 2am ranting about something
called a zero day, and service denial. I told him I hadn't a clue what he was
talking about and that I was sure he'd sort out whatever his problem was during
the morning.

Hi.
As usual I'm spamming about the monthly meeting in Berlin.
When/where: Wednesday the 5:th at c-base, Rungestraße 20.
I'll be there at a table in the main hall. I hope to see you there.
Cheers
