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!

Hi list,
I am thinking of replacing my RME HDSP CardBus+Multiface after twenty years
because it has never been really stable (firmware doesn't load reliably,
multiface is sometimes randomly detected as digiface, random I/O box
disconnects locking up jackd, etc.). This is sad because it is such a
great card. Now I am looking for similar specs with a class compliant
USB connection. I am trying to avoid Motu and the newer RME devices
because I would pay a lot for (DSP/Mixer) features that would remain
inaccessible for me from within Linux. It seems, and hesitate to say so,
that the Behringer UMC1820 is the closest to my needs. Has many I/Os and
most if not all of its settings should be configurable from the boxes
hardware controls. The only thing I am wondering about is how I can tell
the card to be a digital clock source or follower. Is this something
that can be set with alsamixer perhaps? Does anyone have the card and
can confirm and report on its reliability perhaps?
Thanks!
Peter
(Sorry, not sure why my last attempt to send this was empty)
Hi Peter,
referring to the UMC1820. According to Thomann's webpage it's been available
since May 2016,
I think I bought mine in 2018, so I have it more like 4 years now, not 5,
now
that I think about it.
I checked in alsamixer, you can switch the clock source
between internal and "Opt In SPDI" (or something like that).
Best,
Niklas

Hi list,
jackd1 on my computer strangely suddenly uses 100% cpu and I find the
following
ALSA: seq_lock: waiting [1 left] in sound/core/seq/seq_ports.c:266
in dmesg. I can not quit it with qjackctl and had to do a hard power
reset, despite jackd1 being still able to receive and output audio
signals.
Is this error known in any way? I can't seem to reproduce this behavior.
Thanks!

Hello all,
I recently switched my machine over to using Pipewire+wireplumber to try
it out. Long story short, I tried out Pipewire, found that I had lots of
xruns when using pro-audio software, then decided that I should switch
back to jack2+pulse to get my audio work done. However, I have switched
back now, by uninstalling pipewire packages and reinstalling pulse and
jack2 packages, and now whenever I run jack and close a jack
application, the jack application's gui freezes and it seems the
applications can't disconnect from jack. As an added bonus, fluidsynth
software can't start anymore. This includes qsynth and ace fluidsynth in
ardour. Whenever I start a fluidsynth-based application, it just freezes
and can't seem to connect to jack (they don't show up in qjackctl's
connections).
Does anyone here have any ideas on what may be happening. None of this
was a problem before I switched over to pipewire to test things. I
wonder if there is a configuration file somewhere that is causing this
that maybe pipewire set. I use Artix Linux runit as my distro, so
everything is up-to-date.
Thank you very much for your help or advice,
Brandon Hale
Hi imaginative folks,
honestly, I do not have a direct Linux box itself, I use shells, because I
have yet to find an adaptive workable tool...but I suppose scripting is
possible.
That being said, an idea in another Windows environment may work as
well.
what I am wondering is this.
How possible might it be to use your singing voice for composing?
what I mean is to sing the parts into your software of choice, then using
that software to first add the orchestrations, playback etc., then produce
that music in printable form?
The last task is less important for the moment.
getting my pieces out of my head, and into arranging and composing form is
though.
thoughts?
Karen
