[LAU] Copyleft Music Made With Linux : Sebkha-Chott last album (oriental avantgarde rock)

by ORL - AMMD

Hi! Some of you already know Sebkha-Chott, some others don't. For those ones, Sebkha-Chott was a french avantgarde rock band, implying three musicians (2 bass/guitar players, one drummer) and a bunch of free softwares (synths, loopers, samplers, mixers, and even light manager and VJ-ing). Sebkha-Chott ended up his 15 years story in December 2015. Still we recorded our last album called CRPTS ND TPSTRZ in 2014, and it took some time for me to mix and master it (with ardour), so it's out just by now. It's been thought as a "concerto" between a small acoustic band and very electrised things. It opens on a very light sequence, but there's some harder things to come then... You can listen to it here: https://sebkhachott.bandcamp.com/album/crpts-nd-tpstrz And you can check the VERY LAST video of Sebkha-Chott here (subtitles in english available): https://vimeo.com/347468468 ALL PROGRAMS used to realize this album were free softwares, including scribus and gimp for the cover. As far as sound is concerned, here is what we've been using: - Ardour2.8 (we were in 2014) for the recording and mixing, - Ardour5 for the mastering, - TAP, swh, C*, calf plugins, - ams, - tapeutape, - x42-fat (forked by us), - calfjackhost, The hardware was the following: - RME HDSP 9652 - Alesis HD24XR ("ADAT-ly" wired to HDSP) - TL-Audio Ivory 2 preamps - Focusrite Saffire preamps - Adam A7 monitors - Genelec 8020A monitors - mics : Neumann TLM 103, AKG C 414 XLS, Neumann KM 184, Sennheiser MD 421, Beyerdynamic RE 20, Shure Beta 52, 56, 91, Beyerdynamic Opus 88, Audio technica AT4040... Well that's it, you should not get some other news from Sebkha-Chott, as the band is now definitely dead, as you might read in the death notice sent several weeks ago: Hey yo ! Tupac Promo speaking in the keyboard... Well, Dude, it's a bit harsch to manage to send you a message throughout death-realms-internets.... Ya gotta pass through a darknet backdoor located on styx-the-band.onions, and then listen to the whole band discography, and.... well, let's be quick, I let you with the Tyrant.... Errrrr, no, I can't let you with the Tyrant, actually, cuz he's quite dead by now, and if you ask me, it's going to last a bit.... So let's get straight to the point: below you'll find his death notice, some announcements, and hist last words: *$$$$$$###### DEATH NOTICE ######$$$$$$* Wladimir Ohrelianov II, the Tyrant, is definitely and totaly dead for real on 2019, July, the 11th (or, if you prefer8 Dhou Al-Qi'da 1440 - الخميس ذو القعدة , or even cycle 78, chinese year Ji-Hai (36), or even even the 23 Messidor of Year 227), in a shameful cowardful and unfair terrorist attack based upon peanuts [1]. The Geminos Nots Awful Mitzahal Jacquie & Michel died as well in the attack. SEBKHA-CHOTT KOURT is not anymore, will never be again, and might as well never have been [2]. Every Ohreland mourners (numerous they are) are since doing their job very well, and, consequently, seas level is raising up (which is a good thing, as it's summer time in the North Countries). If someone tells you it's a matter of climate or climax change, you now know it's FAKE [3]. Ohreland has ended, and the world is not getting better, this shall be taken as a proof-of-concept that diktat is not that bad. The whole G7 line-up is now wining and missing WOII [4]. If someone at the G7 doesn't, it's probably an altermondialist disguised into Donald Trump or Emmanuel Macron. Sebkha-Chott Kourt legacy towards the 7 billions of moron copulating the Earth might be heard, copied, distributed, stolen, there: CRPTS ND TPSTRZ - concerto pour ötto-tamponneuses et orchestre de chambre de passe https://sebkhachott.bandcamp.com/album/crpts-nd-tpstrz *$$$$$$###### END OF DEATH NOTICE ######$$$$$$* *$$$$$$###### WANTED ######$$$$$$* If Sebkha-Chott Kourt gave you happiness, smile, orgasm, spasm, several bitcoins, unspeakable disease, you can follow the kk-wets gang, which seems to be proven to be guilty of Sebkha-Chott Kourt's death, on https://plagiat.org . *$$$$$$###### END OF WANTED ######$$$$$$* *$$$$$$###### TYRANT LAST WORDS ######$$$$$$* " Hhhhhhh..... hhh. hhhhhh..... h......... h.......hh......hhhh ............" May Ariel Sharon do best.... *$$$$$$###### END OF TYRANT LAST WORDS ######$$$$$$* So, here it is. Finished, over, terminated, definitely. Thanks to have been there listening and following the Kourt, it was nice of you, but now you got to think about something else[5] ; anyway Sebkha-Chott was "so 1999-2015". Don't answer this mail, it won't go anywhere.

[LAU] manual ALSA device rescan

by Brent Busby

This problem is trivial, but maybe there's a trivial solution... I have an Edirol UM-3EX USB MIDI interface that I sometimes pass through to guest OS's in QEMU, which works surprisingly well at letting the guest use the real world MIDI hardware. However, QEMU does a reset on the device, which seems to cause it to get a new USB device number and disappear from ALSA's view. If I physically unplug and replug it, ALSA picks it up again and everything is fine, and I don't even need to reboot. It bugs me that I even need to do that. (I told you it was trivial.) Is there a way to make ALSA scan for new devices manually? I'm on Gentoo for what it's worth, but that may not matter. Obviously, ALSA has some way of picking new devices up or else replugging wouldn't work. I'm just thinking I should be able to trigger that myself, and also it may be educational for me to learn how ALSA does this. -- - Brent Busby + =============================================== + "The introduction of a new kind of music must -- Studio -- + be shunned as imperiling the whole state, for -- Amadeus/ -- + styles of music are never disturbed without -- Keycorner -- + without affecting the most important political -- Recording -- + institutions." --Plato, "Republic" ----------------+ ===============================================

[LAU] lib lilv issue loading LV2 plugins

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I have noticed issues with liblilv for a while now. Upto now, it mostly hasn't harmed me, but I suspect some other challenges I've had to result from these errors. This is what I get: lilv_world_load_bundle(): error: Error reading file:///usr/lib/lv2/ProM.lv2/manifest.ttl substitute the LV2 plugin of choice. I notice that with both Ecasound/Nama and mod-host. I think lv2apply also printed that message, when I used it the other day. Could someone throw some light on this? Any helkp is appreciated.

[LAU] [ANN] Qtractor 0.9.9 - Summer'19 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello all, For the third time and hopefully the last in the current northern estival season comes the final 'batch-of-one': Qtractor 0.9.9 (summer'19) is out! These are the changes for this Summer'19 release: - Fixed editing and display of 'Pgm Change' events on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll). - Introducing tempo/beat-detection support on the Clip / Tempo Adjust... dialog (provided libaubio >= 0.4.1 is available); and now also featured with some rough visual clues ;). - Updated for the newer Qt5 development tools (>= 5.13). - Imply asking for a brand new filename (ie. Save As...) whenever the session file original sample-rate differs from the current audio device engine (ie. JACK). - Configure updated to check for qtchooser availability. - Fix MIDI through for LV2 plug-ins that have no MIDI output event/atom ports. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

[LAU] spectmorph-0.5.0

by Stefan Westerfeld

spectmorph-0.5.0 has been released. Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.5.0: ---------------------------------------- * Support user defined instruments - graphical instrument editor - new WavSource operator * Make standard instrument set smaller (less download/disk usage) * Graphical ADSR editor * Added "SpectMorph User Manual" (online: html/pdf) * Use different colors for active/used/unused operators * LV2 now requires instance access feature * Add file dialog wrapper shell scripts to work with some ardour bundles * Integrate XML (pugixml) and ZIP (minizip) 3rd party code * Minor fixes and cleanups What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be combined using morphing. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3 Integrating SpectMorph into your Work ------------------------------------- SpectMorph is currently available for Linux and Windows users. Here is a quick overview of how you can make music using SpectMorph. - VST Plugin, especially for proprietary solutions that don't support LV2. (Available on Linux and 64-bit Windows) - LV2 Plugin, for any sequencer that supports it. - JACK Client. Note that at this point, we may still change the way sound synthesis works, so newer versions of SpectMorph may sound (slightly) different than the current version. Links: ------ Website: http://www.spectmorph.org Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing between instruments. -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan

[LAU] [Music] New EP: Congroovent

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, in tribute and honour to DJ Annie Mac I publish my new EP, with completely fresh material: Congroovent http://juliencoder.de/nama/congroovent Happy birthday Annie, though for her it won't be for another hour yet. This EP spans electronic genres from synthwave to club to drum and bass, with 80s synthpop, baroque music and modern harmonies in its gene pool. >From the Linux side it involved Midish for sequencing and arranging, Nama for recording/rendering to disk, processing, mixing and mastering, LinuxSampler for opena dn commercial samples, including some self sampled and prepared kits, Yoshimi - a happy birthday due shortly! - for some wonderfully unique synth sounds and even Csound for the odd effect and creating/synthesizing an IR for "Strain of thought", listen out for the snare! Otherwise, yes it is heavily reliant on hardware, which is both for practical reasons and a certain cult-motif. :) The practical reason being, from a sound designer's point of view, the immediacy of programming, the accessibility for a blind person, including the full depth of the instruments and, of course, just having them. :) I hope you enjoy it, I'd love to hear your feedback - good and bad - and you are very welcome to share it. :) 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 Ain't no way I'll be lonely <3 (Britney Spears)

[LAU] New small SFZ drumkit (created for the song Chronophysis)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I have just uploaded the drumkit, which I have sampled/created for the song Chronophysis: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c/chronophysis http://juliencoder.de/sound/chronophysis_kit.zip It is mostly self sampled, with a few exception: one kickdrum, - heavily edited - taken from AVL drumkit, the "klick" taken from Klick, the advanced JACK metronome, and the clap being recorded by a very good friend of his youngest daughter Hanna. The the heart and in/out I used my studio mic like a contact mic and applied my larynx directly to it, with satisfactory results. The kic and beep were edited/processed/part created in Csound. All other sounds were recorded straight into Nama and processed there through LADSPA and LV2 plugins. Only the bell is missing, since it is a commercial sample, part of the Post Bells library from PMI/Sampletekk. Best wishes and keep banging your drums, 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 Skip on the drinks Head to the floor Makin' my way Past the show My body's taken over And I want some more <3 (Britney Spears)
