MOTU Ultralite AVB - possible to configure two connected devices without 430 EUR switch?

by Hanns Holger Rutz

hi there, i found a number of related threads, seems mainly @Anders Hellquist who is using connected Ultralite AVB, but with the additional switch. i'm trying to determine whether this interface or the slightly cheaper mk4 (which has 2 more analog outs as far as i can see) makes sense for my setup. i have a performance project where connecting with another AVB device makes sense, so i'm tempted into the ultralite AVB. only... - manual seems to indicate that you can maximally route 8 channels either way, which is a bit silly given that I can already do that directly with the two laptops connected and Zita running... - also manual suggests that probably i won't be getting the web interface served just with USB connection, but only ethernet, so catch-22 if i want the two interfaces connected and not spend 430 EUR on a bloody specialised switch. isn't it possible to set up the interface when it's not connected to the second interface and then simply replug the ethernet cable? i guess the problem will be that i can tell it to send output channels to the other interface which is not yet visible? or other idea - simply use an off-the-shelf ethernet plug, then disconnect the laptop once the web interface is configured? ideas? better options for a 9.5" usb CC interface with at least 8i8o analog? i'm a happy user of scarlett 18i20, but it's often too big and heavy for travel. best, ..h.h..

[Music] Ocean sky (electronica)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I just released a new electronic song, though a little more subtle than the last ones: http://juliencoder.de/nama/ocean_sky.ogg http://juliencoder.de/nama/ocean_sky.mp3 A liquid river between Drum & Bass, trance and EDM. Too slow for one, too fast for the other, but mostly soozing and earwormy. :) On the Linux side I have used Yoshimi for the soft flute like sound and the bell-like tones, i.e. in the intro. The ticking clock is sampled into LS, the hihats are from the Salamander kkit, the tron choir comes from the free Gigatron GIG and the piano is a commercial thing loaded into LS. The other synths were hardware. Naturally the mix was immersed in reverb and delay, courtesy mostly of Fons' G2verb, CAPS stereo plate and TAP stereo echo. Production included Fons' parametric EQ, Invada studio compressro and a bit of the TAP limiter. This list is not complete, but covers 80%. :) As ever feedback is welcome, but ostly enjoy, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c * Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeanette_c_s I can't believe it's what I see That the girl in the mirror The girl in the mirror Is me <3 (Britney Spears)

[New music]: Edgar and the fog (bigband)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I just released a new song, called Edgar and the fog / Weroosh: http://juliencoder.de/nama/edgar_and_the_fog.ogg http://juliencoder.de/nama/edgar_and_the_fog.mp3 It's an experiment in incidental bigband music, with unfortunately oldfashioned woodwind samples. It's not perfect, but it's going the right way. What do you think? I'd be glad to know. Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c * Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeanette_c_s Open my eyes, I look deep inside, I run away... <3 (Britney Spears)

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.3 - An Autumn'18 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone! The 'Vee One Suite' of so called 'old-school' software instruments, synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are now all out for the 'septentrional' Autumn'18. All available in dual standard forms: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Where applicable, the common change-log for this Fall goes like this: - For safety reasons, all processing is now suspended while loading presets or program changes are issued. - AppStream metadata updated to be the most compliant with latest freedesktop.org specification and recommendation. - SIGTERM (and SIGINT) signal handler added to close the JACK stand-alone client applications properly. - Make the GUI not to show initially on NSM. - Current element sample offset/loop start/end parameters automation is now a possibility, on the LV2 plug-in only (applies to samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). - Make NSM state independent to session display name, keeping backward compatibility for old sessions. - Give some more slack to schedule/worker thread ring-buffer. The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later.

[FLOSS-music] Picforth In Nomine

by Giso Grimm

Dear LAU, our interpretation of the "In Nomine" of Mr. Picforth (published around 1570) is a crossover between Early Music and Ambience: https://youtu.be/90Yfa5O2jx0 This piece is part of our concert program "Harmony of the Spheres", where we spatialize acoustic instruments in low delay real-time, using only FLOSS tools. I introduced early versions of the tools (TASCAR) at LAC2012 and LAC2015, the configuration files used for this piece and all the tools can be found here: https://github.com/gisogrimm/tascar/blob/master/examples/picforth.tsc We also have a 6th order horizontal Ambisonics track of this video available for download: http://orlandoviols.de/picforth_clip5_hoa2d.wav (FuMa normalization, ACN channel sequence). Enjoy! Giso

[ANN] Introducing ardour2fxp

by Christopher Arndt

ardour2fpx ========== Convert an Ardour VST presets XML file to VST2 FXP preset files. What is it? The Open Source DAW Ardour saves user presets for VST plugins in its own XML format. Unfortunately, most proprietary DAWs expect presets for VST2 plugins as FXP files. This makes it very hard to share presets for VST2 plugins between users of Ardour and those propietary DAWs. The ardour2fxp script converts Ardour VST preset files to FXP preset files, so they can be imported when using the same plug-ins in another DAW. Where to get it? https://github.com/SpotlightKid/ardour2fxp or via pip: pip install ardour2fxp How to use? After installation, the ardour2fxp script can be used like this: ardour2fxp ~/.config/ardour5/presets/vst-1094861636 my-presets This will create an FXP (extension .fxp) file for every preset in the Ardour preset file (vst-1094861636 in the example above). FXP files will be put into sub-directories of the output directory given as the second command line argument (my-presets in the example). The FXP files will be named after the preset label (with spaces replaced with underscores) and the sub-directories will be named after the plug-in identifier (1094861636 -> "ABCD" in the example). *Share & Enjoy* Christopher Arndt

[ANN] caps-0.9.24

by Tim Goetze

http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html The latest release of the caps audio plugin suite contains a number of bug fixes and improvements as well as changes intended to make it more suitable for low-power systems. http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#CHANGES Most notably, support for a variety of little-used features has been dropped, reducing the binary size by roughly a third. There's also a new plugin implementing simplistic linear emulation of several guitar amplifier loudspeaker cabinets with reduced computational complexity: http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#CabinetIII The compressor plugins now report current gain reduction: http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#Compress http://quitte.de/dsp/caps_0.9.24.tar.bz2 Cheers, Tim
