[linux-audio-user] [ANN] realtime-0.1.1 with 2.6.6 kernel support

by Jack O'Quin

The latest version of the realtime Linux Security Module is now available on SourceForge... http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/realtime-lsm/realtime-lsm-0.1.1.tar.gz?d… This release handles changes to the capabilities structure introduced in Linux 2.6.6, but still works with earlier 2.6 kernels. There are no functional changes. Unless you are running 2.6.6, there is no need to upgrade. Changes in the 2.6.6 kernel makefiles affect the procedure for building the realtime-lsm. Please consult the INSTALL instructions for details. The realtime LSM is an installable kernel module that enables realtime capabilities for any 2.6 kernel without needing to directly patch the kernel. It was written by Torben Hohn and Jack O'Quin, who make no warranty concerning the safety, security or even stability of your system when using it. It is provided under the provisions of the GPL. -- joq

It is ice1712 based and envy24control works fine. Hmm, I had a look for the command line options for envy24control in the man page. Couldn't find anything to adjust number of input channels displayed. That's with the alsa-tools-0.9.0rc6-53 that comes with SuSE 8.2. Maybe a later one adds them? My envy24control shows all 10 PCM input channels of the internal ice1712, even though the Audiophile-2496 only has 2 analog and SPDIF digital (2 channels) inputs from the outside world. I haven't explored all permutations and combinations of the panels. Elsewhere, I've grumbled about the "lack of integration" between apps like audacity and xmms volume slider and the envy24control. The volume sliders on the apps are "dead". You MUST control the volume on the envy24control. Dunno if that's a permanent condition? ...likely to get fixed? how? (...unless someone else has some more info and/or pointers for us?) BTW, I think I also had a "lock up" problem when trying to change clock source between internal and SPDIF (back to internal?), using envy24control. I had to "kick it around" before the change would "take". I'm not sure if SPDIF stuff works, or is supported. I had other problems to fix, so I didn't pursue that any farther. Sorry. I have a Johnson J-Station (guitar amp modeler) which could provide SPDIF outputs, but I'm currently running its analog outputs through a Peavey RQ-200 6 channel mixer into the Audiophile-2496 analog PCM 1 & 2 inputs. That works well enough, and I'm not desperate for more channels. Converting A/D/A/D doesn't seem that bad, but I haven't listened that closely. Good enough for the likes of me. I can put off wrestling with SPDIF for a (long?) while. The engineer in me likes to see everything work. > envy24control comes in the alsa-tools package. -- Juhan Leemet Logicognosis, Inc.

It's the more-than-modest controller from Contour, it has a jog/wheel, dial and 5 buttons. It's enough for me. The configuration I use is as an example in the .tar.gz. It has start/stop/rewind/punch recording, MMC locate (dial) and varispeed control (jog/wheel). I use it with Ardour. Sampo

by Sampo Savolainen

Hello! My DAW controller project is now stable enough for a small-scale release. So, here it is: sxpress is for controlling MMC compatible software & hardware with USB DAW controllers. The DAW controller is interfaced through the Linux input event API and MMC is sent via the ALSA sequencer. Get it at: http://www.helsinki.fi/~stsavola/software/sxpress-0.1.tar.gz Please try it out. Feel free to comment! Sampo

[linux-audio-user] New sound scheme for the Linux Desktop

by ico＠fuse.net

Hi all, I've been messing the other day with figuring out new sounds that would "enhance the Linux desktop experience" (namely KDE, but obviously usable with any desktop that supports sound events) since the ones we currently have IMHO sound a bit too obtrusive. Anyhow, I've come up with this new theme titled "Borealis." It is available for immediate download on the KDE-look website: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=12584 An .ogg preview of the start-up sound can be found here: http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/Linux/Borealis.ogg Any comments and/or suggestions are most welcome and appreciated! Best wishes, Ico

[linux-audio-user] ANNOUNCE: cheesetracker 0.9.9 released

by Juan Linietsky

CheeseTracker is a mature,versatile and extremely full-featured application that works as an all-in-one sequencer/sampler/sample editor/fx processor. It allows for the creation of professional sounding multitrack mixes. It includes examples and docummentation, as well as on-line help. It can be obtained at http://cheesetronic.sf.net Sorry for the delay, even though this was ready some months ago, I didnt have time to fix up a proper release.. Changes for this version follow: -New (still scons-based) build system, should be easier to use.. -Fixed OSS detection for REAL -Disabled RtAudio, must reenable it at least for OSX, but that will be version 1.0.0 -All engine converted to floating point, may be a bit slower on pre p4/athlon computers, though a bit more accurate -Old FX core deprecated, sorry, this wont load effects on pre-9.9 songs, though it will keep the routes. -Added shift-f6, play pattern from cursor -Added sample-being-played notification in sample screen. -Fixed wave-loading bug, should work until i get libaudiofile working -Fixed ugly bug in GXX introduced in 0.9.1 -More resamplers (FM/Cosine/Cubic Spline). -Doubled filter range. -Managed to reduce the source file size a bit -NEW FILTERS!!! rewrote the filters, they are MUCH better now.. choose between lowpass/bandpass/hipass/notch -New Effect: Multiband (6/10/21/31) equalizer. -New effect!: Distortion (with many distortion modes) -New effect! Pitch Shifter (not amazing, but very tweakeable) -New effect! Stereo FX (kickass post-production helper) -New bugs! report them please! Enjoy! Juan Linietsky

[linux-audio-user] Looking for a software drum machine usable on stage

by Charles Goyard

Hi all, this is my first post on the list, so I'll introduce myself shortly. I play (bass guitar) in a punk rock band with a drum machine (an old Boss DR-5). We are kind of limited by the drumbox, because of the small memory size (200 patterns, 20 songs), the non-extensible and boring drum kits and the lack of certain features. As a system administrator with a bits of programming knowledge (I know Perl, a bit of C and some other useful things) and a free software fan, I said to myself : let's get a software drum machine on a laptop, it should have unlimited features. So far I looked at a number of projects, but none is usable on stage. Here's what I need : 1/ A simple programming interface (Hydrogen is perfect). It can also be something like a simple programming language editable in a text editor. 2/ For length-fixed songs, it's just a playback of a .wav, no problems. 3/ On some songs, we stop the drumbox, play a bit, and start it again. When I hit the stop pedal, it stops immediately (and therefore I need to hit "reset" to be sure to be at the beginning of the pattern when it starts again). It would like it to stop at the end of the pattern if I hit the stop button. 4/ It should "know" the song structure: "start" : plays part1 of song "stop" : stops :) "start" : again part1 "stop" : still stops "start" : plays part2 of song 5/ We need programmable tempo changes. 6/ Big display, playlist control, easy to load songs ! We're on stage, it's dark,, there is smoke, and it's not very practical to "file/open/click/click/click..." with a guitar in the hand and people jumping over you. Song name should be displayed BIG (full screen), the name of the next song should be already programmed, so I just have to press space (or a pedal wired to the parallel or whatever port) to jump to the next song. I just spoke about a pedal. I can build a "stop/start, next song" pedal and code something that reads events and make it to the audio app. For some songs, just chaining two or three .wav files works well enough. But when it comes to things more elaborate, I have been unable to find something appropriate. == The point is to have something simple to use on stage. == I imagine a little program that feeds a software drumbox MIDI (or JACK?) events for stop/start/jumpto/tempo changes. I just don't want to reinvent the wheel. If someone has something that does the job or some hints/useful libraries/glue, I would be happy ! Thanks for your reading, enjoy music ! -- Charles you can listen to some of my music on http://www.raia.info/ (french web site, sorry for non-french-speaking people)

For me Audacity is only good for editing samples/sound files. Using it as the many HDR for your DAW is not an option (yet). Lack of realtime effect sends, bussing, automation, etc. would make it difficult for me to suggest to anyone to use audacity as the center piece to their DAW. That being said, it's a great program for what it does (I use at home (linux CCRMA) and at work (winXP) for sample tweaking and editing. _________________________________________________ Scanned on 11 May 2004 15:54:01 Scanning by http://erado.com
