Hi all,
I have made a first preview of Power Station Industrializer v0.2.7
You can download it here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/industrializer/files/
What is new in psindustrializer-0.2.7:
Improved accuracy of setting some parameters
Rendering and playback can be interrupted. Playback can be
retrigged at any time
Both actuation and sampling nodes are made selectable (Hint: you
can use this facility to generate great stereo samples. Although
PSIndustrializer doesn't support direct stereo samples saving yet, you
can manually save two samples with the same model and parameters, but
different sampling nodes. Then map them to right and left channels and
have fun!)
Bugfixes
As always, bugreports and feature requests are welcome!
Regards,
Yury.
Hey hey,
for a project I am wondering, if the absolute output volume of a pair of
headphones, directly connected to a soundcard, can be gained from the
settings?
I have a Delta 1010. Inside alsamixer the volume for the DACs is set in dB. Is
there a straight relationship between these settings and a connected output
device? My pair of headphones, IIRC, have a resistence of 60 Ohm.
Any help is appreciated. A good pointer will do. If there is a method without
special measuring equipment, I'd be happy. If not... So be it.
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hey hey,
I have two M-Audio Delta 1010LT cards, sync'ed via S/PDIF. Two ALSA devices
were created to sum the inputs and outputs respectively.
On top of that JACK is running. Now, I noticed that it is a decision between
two problems that I face: if they are correctly sync'ed, some system services
regularly freeze. This includes the networ, the Braille display (connected via
USB). If, as has happened before, the setup isn't remembered correctly and the
S/PDIF sync is not made, occasionally the cards begin to have input problems.
The sound suddenly degrades with an effect like bad resampling (decimation
effect).
I have had these cards running for a long time in this constellation, but only
in the past few years these problems cropped up. I have changed the distro
from Debian to Arch Linux. On Arch I have tested the system for realtime
operation several times, using the realTimeConfigQuickScan script.
Could this be a kernel issues? Some ALSA update? Or a question of the kernel
patches that one is running? I am running the following two kernels now:
5.6.19-rt12-1-rt
or
5.8.14-arch1-1
The last time I ran Debian it was on a 2.6.3x kernel, IIRC.
Any suggestions, apart from don't use your cards at once, would be very much
appreciated. :)
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hey hey,
my latest album Crazy drive is out. At some point all the songs would have
gone past. But this time the album is hosted on my own server, you will find
the songs and OGG and mp3 format, as well as m3u playlist for both formats.
http://juliencoder.de/nama/crazy_drive/index.html
This is possibly more in the way of a sampler than an album as such, but one
sorted with intent. :)
The genres span electro, synthpop, Drum&Bass, electro-rock,
oldschool techno(esque), Dubstep and timeless synth-based music. :)
On the Linux side the pieces involved everything from Csound (effects, drums
and other sounds), to Yoshimi to LinuxSampler. I used both commercial and
non-commercial samples - more of the latter actually -, as well as
self-sampled sounds and self made patches for Yoshimi. On the hardware side
there were analogue, hybrid-analogue and a wavetable synth and a Clavinet. :)
There's currently no sampled-based hardware in the setup.
I hope you enjoy - some of - the music.
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hey hey,
this song has been about 20 years in waitiing. It is utterly, unashamedly
"feel good" pop. The idea came to me whilst on holiday by the sea, in summer.
I neither had the synths nor the harmonic ability to write it then. But first
the song itself:
https://youtu.be/p1HAU-YmT8k
Ever since the latest addition to my instrument family - TR-808 clone - I
toyed with recording it. But then a few days I hit on a few nice chords and on
Atte's live modular jam "click":
https://youtu.be/9YgUOOxyTNA
Atte kindly gave me permission to cover/interprete the gorgeous main melody
line from that piece and so I had a chorus. :)
No prizes - or should there be? - for guessing which song I listened to a lot
that summer. :)
Feedback is ever is welcome, but foremost: enjoy and relax!
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hi all!
Today I have finished a large amount of work: support of user actions
logging in SoundTracker. This means that almost all operations can be
undone / redone. Before this I have redesigned the sample editor.
Although these are not all improvements scheduled for 1.0.2 release, I
would like to start testing of the above two features. So I have issued
the first pre-relase available as usual at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/soundtracker/files/
I invite everyone to test this and send me bugreports. But I'd like to
warn, that this pre-release couldn't be pretty stable and can
occasionally crash. If you are familiar with gdb (GNU debugger) please
compile ST with CFLAGS=-DDEBUG and after crash explore the core file
with gdb and send me the backtrace.
Regards,
Yury.
Hey hey,
most of this is spoken German, so I'll stick with German here.
Anno Heutzumal ist ein erfundenes Radiofeature ueber Personen aus der
Geschichte. Diese Sendung geht um die, ebenfalls, erfundene Psychologin Helga
Schnabel, Begruenderin der Motzhuhnmethode.

Dank an meine Familie fuers Mitmachen. :) Es gibt keine Lachgarantie, aber
vielleicht einen Schmunzelnachschlag. :)
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hi
Mamba release v1.6 is out
Mamba is a Virtual MIDI keyboard with some extended, unique features.
Virtual MIDI Keyboard
Mamba comes with some predefined key-maps, qwertz, qwerty, azerty(fr)
and azerty(be), but you could define your own with the included Key-map
Editor as well. Beside the computer keyboard and mouse, Mamba supports
jack MIDI in and ALSA (seq) MIDI in. Output goes to jack MIDI out. Every
channel use it's own Colour to display the played Notes per channel.
16 Channel Live MIDI Looper:
To record a loop, press "Play" and then to start recording press
"Record". To stop recording press record again. Playback will start
immediately.
The first recorded channel will become the Master channel. This one set
the time frame for all later recorded loops. For the Master Channel the
recording time will be stretched/clipped to match the next full beat
time point.
To record a new loop, switch to a other channel, select your instrument
and press "Record" again to start recording.
The later recorded loops will be synced to the master loop. When the
recording time extend the absolute Master loop time record will be
switched off. Absolute time is not bound to the loop point, so you could
record loops crossing it. You could as well stop recording by press
"Record" again before the time expires.
Each Channel could be cleared and re-recorded separate at any time. even
when you press "Record" on a already recorded channel, it will be
cleared before recording starts.
You could record the connected input device or play the Keyboard itself.
MIDI File player
You could select a MIDI file with the File Selector. It will be loaded
in the play buffer of the first channel, regardless how much channels it
use. You could use then channel 2 - 16 to record your own playing into
it. To play along with it you could use any channel. A loaded file will
become the Master channel for the looper.
To save your work just go to Menu -> "File" -> "Save MIDI file as",
select the path and enter a file name. If you don't give the usual file
extension Mamba will add the extension .midi befor save it.
Fluidsynth
When you load a Sound-font via the Menu -> "Fluidsynth" -> "Load
Sound-font" Mamba will start the Fluidsynth engine and do the needed
connections so that you could just play along. Menu -> "Fluidsynth" ->
"Settings" will pop-up a new Window were you could select the Instrument
for the channel and do settings for Fluisynth Reverb and Chorus. All
your Settings will be saved on exit, so on next start you could just
play along.
Mamba is released under the BSD Zero Clause License license
The GUI is build on libxputty - A damn tiny abstraction Layer to create
X11 window/widgets with cairo surfaces
https://github.com/brummer10/libxputty
To build Mamba from source, the following dependencies must be meat.
* libfluidsynth-dev
* libc6-dev
* libsmf-dev
* libcairo2-dev
* libx11-dev
* liblo-dev
* libsigc++-2.0-dev
* libjack-(jackd2)-dev
* libasound2-dev
So, here is the project page:
https://github.com/brummer10/Mamba
and here you'll find the last release:
https://github.com/brummer10/Mamba/releases/tag/v1.6
