FWIW, perhaps somebopdy wants to report that Jack-Devel maling list
doesn't work anymore ...
"Bug in Mailman version 2.1.23
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited,
but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs."
Jack-Devel list is run by paul at linuxaudiosystems.com, so I don't
try to report it, since he consistently mentions to filter out my email
adresses.
Hey hey,
here's the full introductory logo/intro:

The sound was completely done in Csound. With the exception of the piano note
around 5-6 seconds, it's all purely synthetic, using a variety of synthesis
methods, stretching from virtual analogue, to phase modulation, to additive to
physical modelling.
In case someone should wonder, why these quirky sounds and strongly coloured
images: it's synaesthesia (yes, you may laugh). I have associations from
sound, months, numbers and graphemes to colours. So the planet colours
correspond to the colours of the monthsa and the sounds are those that would
have triggered roughly the same colours. A personal theme and concept, but at
least a concept. :)
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hi all,
a few days ago I got a used Line 6 POD HD500. While my main intention is
to use this as a standalone unit and, if I want to, I can always record
its analog or spdif outputs using my regular interface, it would be nice
to use this as an audio interface under Linux as well.
There is indeed an ALSA driver for the POD HD devices in recent kernels:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/sound/usb/line6/podhd.c
Unfortunartely I can't get it to work reliably and never managed to get
audio *output*.
If I plug it in via USB it seems to be recognized (see below), ALSA
devices spring up, Pulseaudio creates a new source and sink etc, but a)
I can't get any sound output from the headphones or the main 1/4" output
of the POD and if I try to start JACK, the jack process usually hangs
and I have to kill it with SIGKILL.
I tried different USB cables and ports on my laptop and at one point I
was even able to start JACK and record a track from the POD HD500 but
still no playback. I wasn't able to reproduce this, though.
Does anybody here use a POD HD device under Linux? If so, does
everything work as it should for you?

Hey hey,
I've just uploaded my first ever youtube video. Here's the link and down below
are some information:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S6ajj0L9YI
This video is designed by a heavily visually impaired person. All rendered in
POV-Ray. The short "logo" in the beginning, is a shortened version of an
animation I prepared specially for such purposes. The music is recorded in
Nama and the video rendered with ffmpeg. So it's all Linux. I hope you enjoy
it, eventhough early testers of my graphics, said that they rather look like
oldschool computer graphics.
As ever, feedback is very welcome, in this case even more so, since I can't
judge the final result myself, the image has gotten too complex. :)
Best wishes,
Jeanette

V 1.5.7 - Nightingale
This release is mainly focused on usability improvements.
For example, the Master Reset can now clear MIDI-learn lists. All you have to
do is hold down the Ctrl key when clicking the button. Usually you don't want
to, but it's there for the times you do.
There are rare occasions when a very large PadSynth patch can take as much as
15 seconds to initialise. If you try to do anything on that part that can
affect PadSynth (during that time) the result can be fatal. Well not any more,
as now you'll get a warning message: "Part {n} busy."
In the bank selection window there are two new buttons 'Import' and 'Export'.
These allow you to transfer complete banks in and out in a controlled manner.
There are a lot of these out in the wild, and the 'Import' process lets you
copy them in to specific slots in particular roots. It only copies in what
Yoshimi recognises, but informs you if there are any unrecognised files. There
is sometimes really odd junk that has crept into 'wild' banks. Also, Yoshimi
will never overwrite any of your precious installed banks or mess with their
IDs.
Similarly when you want to pass one of your own banks to friends, with 'Export'
it is easy to identify the bank you want to copy out, and Yoshimi will not
overwrite any external directories.
Following on from this, many people don't fill in the Author and Copyright
fields of their own instrument patches, making it hard to acknowledge them.
This is now partly automated in the hope that it may encourage people to do so.
You can set up this default by going to the 'Instrument Edit' window and
filling the field in just once, then while holding down the Ctrl key, click on
the 'Default' button. From then on, just a click on this will fill the field
with this text.
Going further into instruments, we now have a few useful key shortcuts.
If you hold down 'K', and click on the 'Edit' button in the main window, it
will directly open the kit editor window for the current part. Similarly
holding down 'E' and clicking will give you the part's effects window.
Most voice patches only use the first Add, Sub and Pad engines and there are
similar shortcuts for these using 'A', 'S' & 'P' and clicking on the 'Edit'
button. If you use the left mouse button it will only open the associated
window if that engine is enabled, otherwise it will open the usual Part Edit
window. Using the Right button will enable the engine then open its window.
For the QWERTY keyboarders 'D' can be used instead of 'P', putting these in a
neat row :)
Now we take a dive into the feared AddSynth Voice window!
The first thing you notice is these are tabbed, so you can quickly jump between
the voices. An extra detail is that non-active voices have their numbers in
light grey text, while the active (or the current selected) ones have clearly
visible black text.
This is all fully in sync with the Voice List window.
We've changed some ambiguous wording in the Voice window too. The 'Change'
buttons are now 'Waveform' ones. Also the highly confusing 'Ext' or 'Internal'
entries are better worded - it was quite common for people to ask how they got
the 'Ext' ones and where they came from.
For the voice itself, the selector is now named 'Oscillator' and the text is
'Internal' or 'Voice {n}'
At the top of the Modulator section, you have 'Oscillator Source' and this time
it will be 'Local' or 'Voice {n}'.
The lower selector is titled 'Local Oscillator' and the text will be 'Internal'
or 'Mod. {n}'.
An extra detail is that these entries are greyed out for voice 1, as you can
only select the internal oscillator or one from a lower numbered voice.
Returning to effects, there is now interpolation in place for the controls,
which makes these crackle-free and far more useful with MIDI-learn - Remember,
you can have up to 200 learned lines.
Finally, there are the usual code improvements and bug fixes.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
I'm pleased to announce the 1.1.0 release of hexter, a DSSI softsynth
plugin that models the sound generation of a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer.
This release provides support for DSSI hosts which don't support
run_multiple_synths(), for example, Carla and Renoise. Each instance of
the plugin is run separately, and support for the global polyphony
limit has been removed.
Several bugs and numerous compiler warnings have been fixed.
Find hexter here:
http://smbolton.com/hexter.html
The distribution tarball is here:
https://github.com/smbolton/hexter/releases/tag/version_1.1.0
More information on the DSSI plugin standard, available hosts and
plugins can be found here:
http://dssi.sourceforge.net/
hexter is written and copyright (c) 2018 by Sean Bolton, and licensed
under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later.
Thanks to Andreas Müller for contributing a bug fix.
Have fun!

Hello,
A piece based on a short sequence over which an acoustic guitar defines
a theme and does some improvisation. Mostly a laid back feeling in
which the bass and sequence establishes the foundation.

Cheers.
