[linux-audio-user] PG Music: Band-In-A-Box and PowerTracks

by davidrclark＠earthlink.net

I wasn't sure whether people knew this or not, but both Band-In-A-Box 2004 and PowerTracks Pro 9 from PG Music work under Wine (20040615, for example). Band-In-A-Box 2004 looks and works much like under Windows. PowerTracks has a couple of odd behaviors, but I found it interesting that they worked as well as they do. I have not gotten the notation to work yet; I'm not that familiar with Wine. It appears that the TTF's require a server. That is quite an omission, but it looks interesting in comparison to Rosegarden and Muse. If this is old news, I apologize, but a search didn't uncover anything recent at LAU. Dave.

Re: [linux-audio-user] PG Music: Band-In-A-Box and PowerTracks

by davidrclark＠earthlink.net

Something important I forgot to say about PG Music Band-In-A-Box: The main menu doesn't work on my installation (but does for PowerTracks). This isn't of as much concern as one might think, because all of the ToolBar buttons work, so just about anything that one needs to do one can do. (At least, this is true in my case.) Alt-F4 quits. Closing the window also appears to work OK for quitting. Dave.

[linux-audio-user] 2.6.8-rc1-mm1 [and alsa xrun debugging]

by Florian Schmidt

after reading lee's email i had to try this kernel.. so i went over to www.de.kernel.org, grabbed 2.6.8-rc1 and patched it up with this patch: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0407.1/1453.html On first sight it looks very good. many of the sporadic xruns i experienced with jack in RT mode are gone. even a "find /" parallel to a "make bzImage" seems not to provoke any xruns [i use ext3]. But: i use fluxbox and it supports desktop wheeling [switching desktop via scrollwheel - very handy] and doing this excessively and rapidly provokes xruns easily. Also starting mozilla just provoked an xrun.. Well to provie more detailed info i thought i'd turn on xrun tracing. So here are the steps i took: 1] enabled debugging in the alsa drivers [i did that when i built the 2.6.8rc1mm1 kernel and the included alsa modules. 2] mango:/home/tapas# echo 1 > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/xrun_debug mango:/home/tapas# echo 1 > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/xrun_debug 3] started jackd -R -d alsa -p 512 and provoked xruns, but the traces are nowhere to be found.. where should i look? /var/log/messages - nothin; /var/log/debug - nothing; /var/log/dmesg - nothing.. Maybe i'm just stooopid here.. Please enlighten me. Thanks, Flo -- Palimm Palimm! Sounds/Ware: http://affenbande.org/~tapas/

It looks that it is a very useful feature to understand where > the xruns comes from and is very good feedback to send to kernel folks The intrepid user in need of low latency should try 2.6.8-rc1-mm1. I sent a bunch of XRUN traces to Andrew Morton, and this kernel contains numerous latency fixes as a result. Some of these fixes were to extremely important areas (get_user_pages, a fix for framebuffer-scrolling issue, and more). The improvement should be major. He is going to be unavailable until July 26th, so the next few weeks are a great opportunity to test and collect data. You are correct in that reiserfs as shipped with the kernel should probably not be used for now if you need low latency. However, I strongly suspect that SuSe (which users reiser by default) contains fixes for this which are not in the mainstream kernel. By enabling CONFIG_SND_DEBUG *and* turning on XRUN debugging at runtime (echo 2 > proc/asound/cardX/pcmX/xrun_debug) you will be able to see whether this is affecting you. Here is the announcement: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0407.1/1453.html Lee

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] ams-1.8.5 - Analogue Detune/Drift

by Matthias Nagorni

Hello, recently I discovered that slightly detuning the voices of a polyphonic sound virtually adds a new dimension to it. After first experiments with voice detune and oscillator drift in ams-1.8.4 I added a module Analogue Driver into ams-1.8.5 featuring an improved detune/drift algorithmus. Most instrument patches have been updated. More details are found in the new README file and the News section on the AlsaModularSynth site. Have a lot of fun !

[linux-audio-user] Superscripting in Lilypond?

by Glenn McCord

Gidday. I'm using Lilypond to write some SATB and am trying to write chords under my bass stave. However it's posing difficult to write diminished and augmented chords that included superscripting i.e vii<sup>o</sup>. I've got the documentation and have been able to only use superscripting when I grab a note and go say, d_\markup{ vii \super{"o"}}. However if I do this for all notes, all the chords are written at different levels. Curerntly I'm just writing them as lyrics and instead of going vii<sup>o</sup> I just use viiDim. I'd rather not use that though. Cheers for any advice.

[linux-audio-user] WONDER release

by Marije Baalman

Hi, I am happy to announce the first release of WONDER. The program WONDER (Wave field synthesis of new dimensions of electronic music in realtime) is designed to provide an interface between a wave field synthesis system and the software or hardware composers and performers of electronic music are used to. The program is still in development and trying to reach its eventual goal step by step. The current version (v2.0) allows the user to either create a composition for the movement of the sound sources in his composition or to control the movements in realtime, either via the gui or via open sound control. The program is released under the GNU General public license. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome: wonder(a)nescivi.de The program is created by Marije Baalman and Daniel Plewe (OSC implementation) and is developed in the Electronic Studio of the TU Berlin. WONDER is created for Linux (X11) and uses the Free Qt-Libraries (v3.0.2b or higher), libOSC++ libraries and BruteFIR (v0.99n or higher). Basic installation info can be found in the package in the INSTALL text. The README file lists some extra requirements and necessary adaptations for BruteFIR. Furthermore a soundcard with a lot of outputs and a lot of speakers are required, to make practical use of the program. At: http://gigant.kgw.tu-berlin.de/~baalman/ you will find a description of what Wave Field Synthesis is and under: program - download you will be able to download the program as a tar-ball. The manual with screenshots is also online. The software is by far not yet bug-free, but in my experience it is usable and generally it does not crash when running the audio (except if external conflicts happen or the processor is overloaded). See the KNOWBUGS file that comes with the package... sincerely, Marije Baalman --
