[linux-audio-user] Re: how good are soundfonts and where do I find them?

It isn't exactly like playing the real beast. Now that >was fun! Is the problem in modern keyboards and samplers? If the sounds are digitized correctly, i.e. 8 seconds of tape per key, then why one is not able to make an accurate emulator? The playing style with Mellotron is melloing, not modern looping. Bad things can happen if sounds are modernized: a Fairlight II sample CD has the sounds apparently fit to modern loop-based sample format with the result that the looping sounds are practically unusable! That means the famous vocals and choirs, and strings, flutes etc. BTW, anyone has Sonic Implants' Silk Road samples and could make me a demo? A free play demo would be fine, but I have turkish and arabic midi files which would be better for the demo. There is a demo at their website but guess what, the demo is not made with the synth samples -- the demo is made with audiofiles included in the CD.

This is why Planet CCRMA uses apt-get for their RadHat distribution. Jan

[linux-audio-user] Connecting JackRack

by hansfong＠zonnet.nl

Can someone give me a hint about the following... My midi-keyboard is connected to my Audigy soundcard and I use qjackctl to connect it to the emu10k1 wavetable as follows: Readable clients Writable clients 64:0 Audigy MPU-401 (UART) ----> 65:0 Emu10k1 WaveTable Now I want to add some reverb with JackRack. How do I do that? My idea was the following... 64:0 Audigy MPU-401 (UART) ----> 129:0 JackRack control 129:0 JackRack control ----> 65:0 Emu10k1 WaveTable ...only this doesn't work. What does? I googled, but couldn't find an answer. I'm pretty new to midi, so even if it might be obvious, bear with me.

[linux-audio-user] Re: setting the load-path for snd extensions

by Bill Schottstaedt

> Syntax error in fixed argument declaration If possible, update to Guile 1.6 (and a newer Snd!) -- otherwise, (as noted in README.Snd), you need to load fix-optargs.scm before anything else.

[linux-audio-user] setting the load-path for snd extensions

by Joel Roth

I'm following Dave Phillips tutorials to configure extensions for snd, and having trouble loading files. I'm using debian, with .scm files in /usr/share/scm $ snd --version This is Snd version 5.9 of 15-Apr-02: Xen: 1.2, Guile: 1.4 OSS 3.8.2 Sndlib 15.2 (29-Mar-02, int24 samples) CLM 2.4 (8-Apr-02) GSL 1.0 Motif 2.1.30 X11R6 Xpm 3.4.11 with LADSPA Compiled Apr 18 2002 11:34:47 C: 2.95.4 (Debian prerelease) Libc: 2.3.2.stable After much trial and error, I think I have the %load-path part figured out. <in listener> (set! %load-path (cons "/usr/share/snd" %load-path)) (display %load-path) (/usr/share/snd /usr/share/guile/site /usr/share/guile/1.4 /usr/share/guile .) [at first I was expecting this output in the listener; it came out in the xterm.] (load-from-path "snd-motif.scm") Syntax error in fixed argument declaration (load-from-path "snd-motif.scm") (load "/usr/share/snd/snd-motif.scm") Syntax error in fixed argument declaration (load "/usr/share/snd/snd-motif.scm") This similarity leads me to believe that I've gotten %load-path right. But what about the error? snd-motif.scm is huge, and not even a line number in the error message. How do you scheme/guile people debug?? How do you snd users get this working? These extensions seem really juicy, though I can't seem to get them loaded properly. I keep lifting the Tantalusian goblet to my lips.... Any pointers for a new scheme/snd user? -- Joel Roth

by Matthew Barber

->Someone mentioned some big publishing companies here (in this thread) but I doubt they actually use finale for final scores. Apparently Score is still widely used in the music publishing business.<- Absolutely. If someone were able to develop a program with the sophistication and beauty of Score for Linux, I think I could safely kiss Windows a big goodbye. M

Yes preamps are important, we started develloping our own mic-pres here at ELAK.

[linux-audio-user] Re: A little scared of Debian

by David Baron

Debian purists will have my hide for this but ... you might try Knoppix. The CD (you can download the image and burn your own) comes with must everything. It nicely detects you hardware and gets you up an running. You can then do a hard-disk installation. Now you have (sort of) a Debian installation. Using the normal Debian upgrades, you will be a member of the club. Much easier than plodding through manually. You may still need to set up alsa yourself if the sound stuff is not correctly identified. But still much easier. Knoppix 3.3 is a Woody based (stable plus) installation on a 2.42 kernel. Knoppix 3.4 is 2.6 kernel based.

[linux-audio-user] Beast

by David Baron

Installed this, looking forward to a Linux "Abox". MIDI controller input lack means of selecting the device. Audio ouput objects lack means of selecting the output channel. There are load errors with or without jack, jacklaunch, etc. So how dows one "play" this beast? :-)
