[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] 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

[MUSIC] Synth Prelude n. 1

by Lorenzo Sutton

A prelude for synth. Although a relatively short piece this took way longer to finish than I had expected. Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/lorenzosu/synth-prelude-01 Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/synth_prelude_01 (includes direct download links) Made with Yoshimi and Rosegarden. As usual thanks to all the developers of these two music applications which I like so much for their work and dedication :) Hope you enjoy. Lorenzo.

[New music] Chapeau D'Empereur

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, this is an upbeat EDM/dance/dubstep track. It was fun to make and hopefully will be; fun to listen to or move to. :) In musical terms an experiemtn to see how far my setup can take me towards dubstep: http://juliencoder.de/nama/cde.ogg http://juliencoder.de/nama/cde.mp3 Musicians may guess at the origiin of the name, more lazy lack of creativity than anything else. On the Linux side this track uses Yoshimi as a doubling for the EDM pluck/supersaw like sound and LinuxSampler for the celesta and doubling of the strings. The song was sequenced in Midish and recorded, processed and mixed in Nama. Many LADSPA and LV2 effects were used, including - but not limited to - Fons Adriaensen's Chorus, the gate from the SWH plugins, Invada studio compressor, Guitarix distortion, a few CAPS plugins, Fons' FIL plugin and more... Feedback is welcome and joy is desired. :) 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 It's not complicated We just syncopated We can read each others' minds <3 (Britney Spears)

Live setup question with Carla

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I am helping a friend to set up a live performance system. The general requirements are: one master keyboard connected to a notebook, which hosts several plugins (VST through wine and Pianoteq in some form). The challenge: switch the sound engine which the master keyboard is controlling via MIDI (from the keyboard) or through another cheap controller. The current state: use Carla to host the instruments and try to map certain MIDI controllers to switch the internal routing. To that end I found one thread on Linux Musicians, where FalkTX suggested using some MIDI filtering plugin (like pizmidi-plugins or x42) or a standalone app like mididings. No final solution was posted/described. Does anyone have a working solution to that kind of setup? It doesn't necessarily have to use Carla at the core, as long as it can host the instruments involved. Namely, these would be vb3 version 2 and M-Tron Pro (VSTs through wine) and Pianoteq, in which ever format. As far as I am aware, no layering or splitting setups are intended. Best wishes and thanks for any hints, 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 Do you even know what I like Just what I'm living for, What I adore <3 (Britney Spears)

Carla + Calf Plugins

by Solace Greyowl

Greetings Greetings, A couple of months ago I finally had my setup complete. Things were going great, I'm using REAPER as my DAW, and I've managed to get whatever plugin I wish to load up in Carla. That is until a couple weeks ago. I've been trying to load up Calf Plugins(Because REAPER doesnt natively support LV2) through Carla, but they automatically turn off after a couple of seconds after being loaded in. Any other Carla users having this issue? Or know of a solution?

Re: [LAU] Live setup question with Carla

by Anders Hellquist

I have been using Carla for stage performances for at least a couple of years.. I set up my Carla session to include a internal Midi-filter and route the 16 midi channels to different plugins. My standard session includes SetBfree, Pianoteq, various U-He synths and some sfz libraries. I usually use keyboards where changing midi channel is easy to do. Last gig I had, an additional keyboard player was plaing with us and I hocked his master keyboard to an empty usb-slot and connected him to one of my plugins. Everything worked so well. My problem is more that Carla is super flexible, the plugins are too and my very configurable midi keyboard (one of them) Nectar Panorama P6 is too. This gives me way too many options and ways to improve the setup. /Anders 2018-09-26 15:12 GMT+02:00 Jeanette C. <julien(a)mail.upb.de>: > Sep 26 2018, Gideon van der Kolf has written: > ... > >> I use Konfyt for keyboard setups: http://www.noedig.co.za/konfyt/ >> > ... > thanks Gideon, I've also passed on your tip.

Re: [LAU] Live setup question with Carla

by Gideon van der Kolf

Hello. Uhm.. let's hope this goes to the right place, I've never replied to a mailing list before. Am I doing it right? Mididings does work for what you want, given that you don't need to quickly be able to change the configuration just before / during the performance. I use Konfyt for keyboard setups: http://www.noedig.co.za/konfyt/ It allows you to quickly and easily create patches and switch between them with a cool feature that when you hold notes while switching patches, they will continue to be held down until you release them. In your case you would probably ignore the Soundfont and SFZ functionalilty and just use MIDI output ports for each VST plugin and app (Pianoteq). You'll still need something to host the VSTs, like Carla or Ardour. I usually opt for Ardour since I feel comfortable with organising the different instruments/effects in mixer strips. Another option is MIDI Layer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/midi-layer/ Cheers Gideon On Wed, 26 Sep 2018 at 12:01, <linux-audio-user-request(a)lists.linuxaudio.org> wrote: > > Hey hey, > I am helping a friend to set up a live performance system.
