MOTU Ultralite AVB - possible to configure two connected devices without 430 EUR switch?

by Hanns Holger Rutz

hi there, i found a number of related threads, seems mainly @Anders Hellquist who is using connected Ultralite AVB, but with the additional switch. i'm trying to determine whether this interface or the slightly cheaper mk4 (which has 2 more analog outs as far as i can see) makes sense for my setup. i have a performance project where connecting with another AVB device makes sense, so i'm tempted into the ultralite AVB. only... - manual seems to indicate that you can maximally route 8 channels either way, which is a bit silly given that I can already do that directly with the two laptops connected and Zita running... - also manual suggests that probably i won't be getting the web interface served just with USB connection, but only ethernet, so catch-22 if i want the two interfaces connected and not spend 430 EUR on a bloody specialised switch. isn't it possible to set up the interface when it's not connected to the second interface and then simply replug the ethernet cable? i guess the problem will be that i can tell it to send output channels to the other interface which is not yet visible? or other idea - simply use an off-the-shelf ethernet plug, then disconnect the laptop once the web interface is configured? ideas? better options for a 9.5" usb CC interface with at least 8i8o analog? i'm a happy user of scarlett 18i20, but it's often too big and heavy for travel. best, ..h.h..

death by ogg vorbis

by Paul Davis

strange problem ... looking for clues. we have a slimdevices/logitech media server, and have had for more than a decade. we have 2 or 3 playout devices, one class and two "receivers". the system has worked solidly for a very long time. about a month ago, i download some awesome new London jazz from a project named Yuseef Kamal, as FLAC from Bandcamp. Sadly the project has since broken up, but "Black Focus" is phenomenal. As I usually do with FLAC or WAV downloads, I stash these files outside our music repository, convert to a lossy compressed format and then move the result into the music repository to keep the space down when we copy the whole thing to an SD card or whatever. The compressed format is generally always Ogg/Vorbis. So I did the same. Played the result on my main working computer (one version of the repo), and on my laptop (another rsync'ed copy of the repo). Entirely expectedly, it works normally. But then, after a lot of head scratching, I realized that whenever I try to play any of these files via the slimdevices/logitech server+devices, it does something to the server and/or the devices that requires a complete reset of the entire system. Switching to other music will not work - things are dead, even though they are superficially alive. I have never seen this behaviour from any other music/files. I can play the same files via some other media app on the computer where the server runs, and there are no problems. I've repeated this "experiment" at least 4 times so far. Playing a single track from the Yuseef Kamal album effectively crashes my logitech/squeezebox system (though the server is still responsive and the controller(s) still appear to do stuff. I've tried looking a debug logs fromthe server, but have seen nothing to indicate what is happening. I even reconverted from the original FLAC files, and tried those instead. No difference in the behavior. I have a few thoughts about things to try, but wanted to see if anyone else had any suggestions on approaches to the problem, things to look for, etc.

Yoshimi Command Line Interface

by Will Godfrey

Our formal command line access is now almost complete. There are just a few remaining areas to be improved. The latest push has seen all the synth engine controls completed. We're not *quite* ready for a release, but would very much like people to try things out. We are actively looking for problems and inconsistencies between the CLI and GUI. Bank and root management have some naming and adjustment controls missing, and the effects parameters are not done - the effects themselves are, and so are effect presets. These were done quite a long time ago, and are being reviewed. The final missing piece in the jigsaw is copy/paste. This is an interesting one. I've a feeling that once the basic structure is organised, it will just slot into place like MIDI-learn, and reading limits/defaults did. There is likely to be some shuffling to get the most user-friendly command and parameter names. There is a huge amount of name duplication. Although this is convenient for developers and for the GUI, it makes it harder for CLI users to follow. We've already changed some of these to synonyms - and indeed also made some of the GUI names more relevant - but based on user feedback they may change again. There is now an extremely comprehensive and context sensitive help system in place. Typing '?' will give you the command information relative to your current context, but you can get any other context usually with just the first two or three letters, so while in the Part context '? sub' will show all the SubSynth commands, and '? li' will show all the dynamic settings that can be listed - such as what instruments are in the current bank. As usual the source code for the current 'master' is available from either: https://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi Or: https://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

[Music] Ocean sky (electronica)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I just released a new electronic song, though a little more subtle than the last ones: http://juliencoder.de/nama/ocean_sky.ogg http://juliencoder.de/nama/ocean_sky.mp3 A liquid river between Drum & Bass, trance and EDM. Too slow for one, too fast for the other, but mostly soozing and earwormy. :) On the Linux side I have used Yoshimi for the soft flute like sound and the bell-like tones, i.e. in the intro. The ticking clock is sampled into LS, the hihats are from the Salamander kkit, the tron choir comes from the free Gigatron GIG and the piano is a commercial thing loaded into LS. The other synths were hardware. Naturally the mix was immersed in reverb and delay, courtesy mostly of Fons' G2verb, CAPS stereo plate and TAP stereo echo. Production included Fons' parametric EQ, Invada studio compressro and a bit of the TAP limiter. This list is not complete, but covers 80%. :) As ever feedback is welcome, but ostly enjoy, 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 I can't believe it's what I see That the girl in the mirror The girl in the mirror Is me <3 (Britney Spears)

Fixes for Blop and SWH LADSPA plugin RDF files + program to do it

by Tim

Hi, as I mentioned in LAD today, I think I found some problems with Blop and SWH LADSPA RDF files. I fixed them automatically with a program, and by hand for the few odd incomplete enumerations. Here are the fixes and the program I used. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vapxxr9s9zvyari/corrected.tar.gz?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/tllg1iudino4ah0/FixLrdfFiles.tar.gz?dl=0 Thanks. Tim.

[New music]: Edgar and the fog (bigband)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I just released a new song, called Edgar and the fog / Weroosh: http://juliencoder.de/nama/edgar_and_the_fog.ogg http://juliencoder.de/nama/edgar_and_the_fog.mp3 It's an experiment in incidental bigband music, with unfortunately oldfashioned woodwind samples. It's not perfect, but it's going the right way. What do you think? I'd be glad to know. 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 Open my eyes, I look deep inside, I run away... <3 (Britney Spears)
