[linux-audio-user] Evolution EVS-1-editor

by Thomas Kerstgens

Hello, is there anybody who uses the Evolution EVS-1 (an old 1 RU FM-, AM-, PM-synth). My Problem is, that it is only editable using a DOS- or Atari-ST-software. Is there any linux-editor-software which supports this synth or a possibility to run the atari-software (e.g. an emulator with MIDI-support)? - Thomas

[linux-audio-user] ZynAddSubFX uses XML format - please test it

by Nasca Paul

ZynAddSubFX is using XML files Hi. I am Paul, the author of zynaddsubfx. For those who you don't know about it: is a software synthsizer for linux and windows and is located at http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net I added many things from 1.4.3. The most notable is the XML support. I have the intention to drop the compatibility to the old formats (mas_zyn) since 2.0. Anyway, the code for using this format is still inside zynaddsubfx to make possible to write a file converter. Now, zynaddsubfx requires 2 new libraries: an excelent library called Mini-XML (http://www.easysw.com/~mike/mxml/) and zlib. Also, the banks are not longer stored into a single file; now, the banks are stored as instruments into a directory. This make very easy to manage the banks, with any file manager. You can checkout the cvs version; see http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=62934 for details. Also, if you don't want to use cvs you can download the version from 3 March 2004 from: http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/zynaddsubfx_cvs.tar.bz2 (Please notice that this link is temporary) There are other features that will be documented into 2.0. Until then, there is more do be done :) Please test it and report if happens to save a file to XML and if is not loaded all parameters (It is possible that I missed some parameters from XML, but I hope not ;) ) Paul P.S. There is a ChangeLog inside the arhive, but is Romanian ;) (few parts are English) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[linux-audio-user] RME Hammerfall Install and Linux 2.6.3

by thewade

Hello, Ill be brief as your time is surely valuable. Thank you for your time. Im trying to set up my new RME hammerfall DSP multiface on my dell inspiron 8000 running linux-2.6.3 with alsa software(drivers) 1.3(a); Question one: I have (make install)-ed alsa 1.3a drivers, do I have to rebuild my kernel, as alsa is now built into the kernel in 2.6? Question two: I get this error with pd and the multiface using non-interleaved audio input Sample width set to 4 bytes snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access (output): Invalid argument using non-interleaved audio pd: pcm.c:1133: snd_pcm_readi: Assertion `pcm->access == SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED\\\' failed. Pd: signal 6 and xmms sees the card (proabably from my .asoundrc file) but wont play through it. Ive run hdsploader and the little red host error light is gone, so whats up? Thanks again, -thewade

[linux-audio-user] JACK with two SBLives!

by Petr Sumbera

Hello, I would like to use JACKD with two SBLives! soundcards in Surround40 mode (8 output channels and 4 input channels). I have seen on internet examples of "alsa.conf" how to use SBLive! in Surround40 mode and also how to use two normal sound cards for jack. Problem is that I am new to this problematic and I have no idea how to achieve my desires. Can you please help me with this? I hope it is possible. Petr

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] galan-0.3.0_beta5 released

by torbenh＠informatik.uni-bremen.de

galan-0.3.0_beta5 is released. For those who know it already: One of the new features include cloning. you can now select a bunch of components and clone them. (This will be changed to a full blown copy/paste mechanism soon) And the polyphony option will be added soon. galan is a modular synthesizer similar to SSM and AMS. The difference is that you build the schematics in one window and have the controls in another window. So your synth UI is not cluttered with the schematics. galan also supports subpatches. You can add patches from the library to your current patch with 2 mouseclicks. the LADSPA adsr can be used for real note-on note-off behaviour. And with the voice allocator it is already possible to build polyphonic synths. I will refine that process somwhat. But it already works. When you have setup your schematic and placed the controlling knobs and sliders on your control panel, you can draw a custom background for the ControlPanel and import the painted picture into galan. The knobs now support alpha transparency, so they should integrate onto every background. galan supports jack and alsa sequencer. You can open any number of ports you would like. The internal sequencers can sync to jack-transport. galan also supports LADSPA. You will have all LADSPA effects handy you normally use. And you will be able to setup a nice Interface for your Effects. You would then save them to your sheet library, making them 2 clicks away. So wiring a jack-inport and another jack-outport to your favorite plugin, is done in a few seconds. It even supports the first jack-midi patch (although only as a synth and as the patch changed recently, there will be no sequencer around :) perhaps the next patch. get it at http://galan.sf.net and look at http://galan.sf.net/anti-aliased-knobs.png cause this is how it looks like. -- torben Hohn http://galan.sourceforge.net -- The graphical Audio language

[linux-audio-user] Good Sound Card for Pro Multitracking

by Polashek, Matthew

Hi! I am interested in multitracking with Ardour. I have everything up and running and I think it's great! Better than Pro Tools except for MIDI obviously, and hardware. I am looking into upgrading my sound card. (I have a SoundBlaster live and I want something more pro) I think the best option is RME Multiface 24/96 which is apparently well supported by ALSA. Is there another option I should be considering? Possibly something less expensive?

RE: [linux-audio-user] Good Sound Card for Pro Multitracking

by Polashek, Matthew

I am operating with 2 main scenarios in mind. I am a jazz musician so I would like to be able to record live shows and mix PA and Monitors for a quartet so that's about 8 in and 6 out. I need fully balanced inputs to prevent hum on live gigs. The second scenario is using the rig for my recording studio. (a work that is still in progress) I would need multiple inputs and outputs here as well.

Re: [linux-audio-user] FINALE 2000 - WINE ???

by robcanning

thanks for the links, i had another look but still can't see anything up to scratch - i need a gui interface where i can to create large orchestral scores to publication standard, output and transpose instrumental parts, design and import non standard notational symbols etc. etc. besides this i have dozens of scores already in Finale that need to be accessible to me Finale is working pretty well under Wine but i would just like to iron out the few glitches that are there thanks again, rob the link to mscore seems to be broken, or the page is down... -- robcanning <rscanning(a)eircom.net> www.robcanning.utvinternet.com >sorry if this is slightly off-topic but to convert fully to linux audio >i need to be able to use notation - i've seen some of the open source >notation packages and none of them are up to the level of Finale yet. >i'm trying out finale 2000 on the WINE emulator for Linux on Redhat9. >I have put a copy of the maestro.ttf font into an X11 directory and >pointed my .wine/config file to that directory so now i have the font >showing up in finale. >My problem is all the little buttons in the simple entry panel are black >instead of showing up note/duration symbols - most of the other buttons >in the other entry panels are showing up ok. any linux/wine/finale >users out there??? >are the symbols on these buttons connected to maestro.ttf? >- reports of any experiences with using finale within WINE would be >greatly appreciated especially with regards to getting the midi .dll >side of things up and running. >

[linux-audio-user] Re: FINALE 2000 - WINE ???

by robcanning

Hi, Thanks Mikhail for all these notes and to others on the list for their suggestions - I'll give them a try soon. I just have Finale finding the maestro font which i put in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF then i modified the wine conf file to look in that folder I tried to get the midi working by putting the FINMIDI .dll files from finale into /.wine/c/windows/system and now get the message in finale: MIDI is not active unless you have Microsoft's Multimedia extensions loaded. (The Multimedia extensions come with windows 3.1). i wonder is trying to load these extensions in wine the correct approach to getting the midi working?? any thoughts? also i just tried finale 2002 but tip of the day seems to stop the system responding thanks, rob
