This is Steinway_IMIS soundfont, version 2.2.
ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/sf2/Steinway_IMIS2.2
This version fixes the issue with loops. I hope this is the good one
and there are no more remaining major bugs.
Marcos is a little busy right now, so he asked me to make this fix. He
is thinking to make other improvements, so expect more updates soon.
Is anybody out here in LAU land have experience with PISound?
https://www.blokas.io/pisound/
I have just bought one and am having quite sever teething problems with it.
It keeps freezing for ~45 seconds when running X and I cannot get it to
use the full display.
cheers

Dear list,
I recently bought a LinnStrument from Roger Linn Design:
http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/linnstrument.html
It is a great isomorphic midi-controller, and as such it is immediately
recognized on Linux.
The distinguishing feature of the LinnStrument is that it senses 3
degrees of freedom on each note: x-direction, y direction and
z-direction (pressure). The x-direction is mapped to pitch-bend, and
y-direction to CC74.
A cool feature is the "slide", where the pitch-bend is used to slide
between all notes in a row.
To allow individual pitch and CC74 values for each note, it sends each
note on a separate midi-channel ("MPE"):
http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/implementing-mpe.html
Bitwig has added support for this, and there is 20 presets in version
1.3.11, where this is used (tag: linnstrument). The LinnStrument
controller is not recognized automatically on Linux in version 1.3.11,
but it can be configured manually, and then it works fine. Note that
both midi-in and midi-out has to be configured, if not there is no
sound! It should look like this: https://ibin.co/2msBJVgpKtf9.png
Now I would like to also use it with the free Linux synths.
Here's what I have been able to make work this far.
Synthv1:
PME works reasonably well: I can play polyphonic in MPE mode, but it
tends to miss the "note off"s.
I can get the slide to work, by setting
<param index="36" name="DEF1_PITCHBEND">2</param>
<param index="78" name="DEF2_PITCHBEND">2</param>
is a preset.
Zynaddsubfx:
I can not get MPE to work.
Sending only on one channel, and setting PWheelB.Rng to 2400 cents, I
cant get the sliding to work, but only when playing with one finger.
If I enable MPE on the LinnStrument there is only an occasional sound,
when it happens to send on the channel, that Zyn is listening on.
I'll love to hear if other LinnStrument users have been able to do more
with any of the free synths on Linux.
All the best,
Thomas
Hi list,
I am wondering if the Motu M64 Madi audio interface is class compliant
or not. The only information I found so far is Paul Davis mentioning it
was not on https://discourse.ardour.org/t/usb2-3-madi-adat/88392/13
Nevertheless I plugged one in today and was able to select it as a
device in qjackctl but did not get jackd to start using it. I had very
little time and forgot to take logs and messages.
thanks for all hints!

Dear LAUs,
tonight (March 26th 2021, 7pm CET) we will play a concert with five
musicians at four different locations, using our ovbox system.
Announcement and stream will be here: https://orlandoviols.com/
The complete production chain is FLOSS and running on Linux:
- remote music collaboration tool ovbox
(https://github.com/gisogrimm/ovbox/)
- TASCAR virtual acoustic simulator
(http://tascar.org/)
- blender game engine (with a patch for improvement of video textures)
(https://www.blender.org/)
- ardour for recording
(http://ardour.org/)
- OBS for streaming
(https://obsproject.com/)
- jack, to connect everything
(https://jackaudio.org/)
Thanks to all developers and the community!
The concert will be streamed via youtube.
Best,
Giso
Spatially separated, but still united in a virtual concert hall through
our newly developed device: the ovbox, we play consort music from the
English court of the 17th century.
Hey hey,
I have released a small autosampler, implemented in Csound. It's easy enough
to set up.
http://juliencoder.de/sound/autosampler.csd
Documentation for non-Csound users is at the top and again at the bottom.
The autosampler support velocity layers, round robins, overall note range,
note intervals, both mono and stereo sampling. The sampler will wait for a
note to decay, but does not (yet) produce key release samples.
Output files are named:
chosen_name-MIDI_note_number-velcity-round_robin_index.wav
I hope someone finds a use for it. :)
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Thank you for your reply, Roger. I was sent a personal e-mail advising me
to install qttools5-dev-tools. This included /usr/lib/qt5/bin/lupdate.
After doing so, the source code compiled and installed without error. As I
mentioned, I was missing something obvious. Still, unless you know it, you
don't know it....

Hello, List--
Actually, qsampler configures without errors. Running make returns no
errors, either. When I run sudo make install, I get this error:
lupdate: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt5/bin/lupdate': No such file or
directory
make: *** [Makefile:97: translations_lupdate] Error 1
I don't know much about coding, but took a look at the Makefile, which
contains this line:
export LUPDATE=/usr/bin/lupdate
I tried putting lupdate in /usr/bin/qt5/bin, but that only made my terminal
hang.
I'm compiling on Ubuntu Studio 20.04. I'm sure I've missed something
obvious. All help is appreciated.
Take care!
Tom
Hey hey,
I have just released this piece (best listened to on headphones):
https://youtu.be/U6GKSp1_vT8
It's a virtual journey from free space through the layers of Neptune's
atmosphere down to the planet's core. All sounds are synthesized, but based on
audio recordings from NASA's Voyager II when it had passed the planet. These
would be audio representations of different instruments aboard the space
probe. The text is an impression or short fragment that I had written down on
some journey, not to Neptune though. :)
The image is also synthesized, though not with Csound but with POV-Ray.
Feedback is welcome, I hope you enjoy it.
Best wishes,
Jeanette
