Does anyone know of software that can generate MIDI messages from a touchpad?
The idea would be to send CCs to a sequencer or soft synth, but being able to
send it to an external hardware device would also be very useful.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
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?

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 trying to find out if running or disabling the irqbalance service will improve
or degrade audio performance on my four cpu x230 laptop?
I was furthermore trying to search this list's archive, but could not find a
search engine at https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
Is there any?
Thank you!

Hello all,
I just wanted to make a thread to appreciate the new LSP audio plugins'
guis. I was using my computer and loaded a plugin and didn't even know I
had gotten an LSP audio plugin update on Arch. I was shocked to see how
nice they look, these plugins look and react extremely nice. I was happy
to also see they have scaling features.
Overall, great job to the LSP audio plugin team and thank you for the
great plugins,
Brandon Hale
CollisionDrive is modeled after the Horizon Devices Precision Drive(*),
a modern overdrive pedal with a built-in noise gate.
Besides the usual Volume and Drive controls, the CollisionDrive features
Attack and Bright controls.
The Attack control manipulates the response of the pedal, turning it
down simultaneously softens the overdrive attack and increases the sustain.
The Bright control gives you even more flexibility. It can add presence
to darker sounding amps, or remove buzzing when needed.
The Gate control sets the noise gate threshold. In the plugin interface,
this control lights up to indicate that the noise gate is active.

Hello all,
zita-audiotools-1.3.0 and zita-jacktools-1.6.0 are now available at
<http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html>.
If you have previous versions, installing these updates will require
some extra work. This is for two reasons:
* The python package names have changed:
audiotools -> zita_audiotools
jacktools -> zita_jacktools
* The setup.py files now use setuptools instead of the deprecated
distutils, and will install a python 'egg' directory.
This requires the following actions:
* Before installation, remove all traces of any previous versions
from your python site-packages directory. Then just make; sudo
make install; sudo make clean.
* In existing applications, the import statements must be modified
to refer to the new package names.
Thanks to Marc Lavallée for both suggesting the name change and
testing the new releases.
Ciao,

Not sure if this is something only on my end, but I seem to have missed
some recent 'initial' message threads from LAU such as "New Software:
Tembro, All-in-one instrument (Sampler or Rompler)" [0], "[music] Pick
me up" [1], "Lost soundfont" [2]
Interestingly I did then correctly receive thread responses to these. I
did check my spam and no trace in there (and LAU is in theory
whitelisted since a while).
I'm wondering if this might be some setting on my side (including ML
settings, although I didn't change anything recently), some gmail quirk?
I use Thunderbird as a client but I don't think that is relevant (or is it)?
Any tip or help appreciated :-)
Thanks!
Lorenzo

Hi Wise Ones,

By trial-and-error (how else to do it?) I find the following
commands generate audio output to a TV connected via HDMI.
aplay -D plughw:CARD=PCH,DEV=7 ~/music/tmh.wav
aplay -D hw:CARD=PCH,DEV=7 ~/music/tmh.wav
I would prefer a setting with dmix, but the following fails:
aplay -D dmix:CARD=PCH,DEV=7
Playing WAVE '/home/jroth/music/tmh.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: set_params:1343: Sample format non available
Available formats:
- S32_LE
Attempting to translate a working example to asoundrc, I find aplay (without -D option) produces
sound output at the TV with the following:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 7
}
However even after restarting firefox, it doesn't play to this
output.
I tried adding a ctl stanza:
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 7
}
This doesn't affect aplay, but firefox doesn't output to
headphones or HDMI with this setting in asoundrc.
I welcome any suggestions to get firefox to default to
the asoundrc setting.
TIA,
Joel
