I've asked on the alsa-users forum, but I'll ask you guys too...does
anyone have any info on using a MOTO Midi-Flyer 2x2 midi port interface,
or any other interface for that matter, on the LPT port ? Works fine
under XP. I know that alsa supports some serial port interfaces, but no
mention anywhere 'bout parralell ones.
Thanks for any info.
is there an app that can do guitar amp modelling,
like the POD Line6 unit - only with software?

Sorry for cross posting. Does anyone know where I can find the patch
listed at the top of the Alsa home page for patching the 2.6 kernel
series?
Thanks,

I know there were some discussions not too long ago about sequencers,
but i'd like to ask the questions in a slightly different way.
I'm looking for a decent sequencer for Linux. It's not required to be a
"Logic/Cubase/Pro Tools/Sonar killer" (although it would be great :-D),
but i'd like it to perform a few basic tasks well.
Must-have features:
- record and play multiple MIDI tracks
- record and play multiple sound tracks
- MIDI and sound must be able to blend freely in a project (i.e. record
and play arbitrary combinations of MIDI and sound tracks simultaneously)
- overdub multiple sound tracks into one (or two)
- fine-grained MIDI editing (edit individual keystrokes' parameters such
as velocity, timing adjustments)
- automatic tool to move slightly off-beat keystrokes to a fixed
temporal grid which is defined in the program (therefore making "perfect
performance" timing-wise)
- sound editing abilities (features such as "snap to pass-through-zero"
would be nice)
- LADSPA filters
- play a metronome through a MIDI or sound channel
- works with JACK and ALSA
- does not crash
Nice-to-have features:
- the editors (MIDI, sound) and, generally, the whole app must be
user-friendly and inspiration-friendly :-) (when the inspiration
possesses you, it's not a good thing to start fumbling through some
crappy interface and make a thousand mouse clicks just to do some
trivial operation - every second lost is precious)
- music notation
- some kind of interoperability with related apps
Essentially, in the free software world, it's either Muse or Rosegarden.
Has any of you extensive experience with both applications? Which one is
a better fit for the description above?
Thanks,

Hi,
How can i send commands in a file to a running fluidsynth process?
I tried (commands.sh contains fluidsynth tuning commands):
$ fluidsynth -a jack ~/gerrit.sf2 < commands.sh
But fluidsynth exits immediately after reading the commands in the
file.

That would be nice for news, but reviews might be a bit big to fit in
vanilla RSS files.

Might be nice to share the reviews stuff for eg. so it appears on both

How is it going? Anything to test?
Note. My system is now insisting on loading that maestro module and it thinks
it actually has an AC97! Of course, nothing plays. I do not know what is
cause it to load this.
Too everyone who's waited with bated breath for this day to come
(primarily me), rejoice in the first beta release of Specimen, a midi
controlled audio sampler for GNU/Linux systems.
Features as listed on the webpage:
# ALSA sequencer interface support.
# Audio output via ALSA or JACK.
# Individual panning and volume controls for each patch.
# High quality cubically interpolated pitch scaling.
# Sample start/stop and loop points.
# Three playback modes; "normal" just plays the sample, "trim" plays
the sample and stops early if so instructed, "loop" plays the sample
for the requested duration.
# Patch bank saving and loading in the "beef" file format.
Check out www.gazuga.net for more and to download the source. I'm
gonna spend the next few days giving the program a usability test and
creating a demo song that does it justice, so keep your ears open for
some homegrown UHB in the not-too-distant future.

So, what should a new soundapps page DO?
In the previous discussion on this list, way back in 2002,
many ideas were kicked around. I think it was originally
too ambitious. I'd like to focus for now on being a really
good resource for finding linux audio / music software.
So, here's a rough cut at a revised requirements list,
distilling the old threads:
Rough mock-up of a typical app listing page:
http://www.slinkp.com/linux/soundapp_site_roughs/app_entry.html
Notes, including links to the old discussions:
http://www.slinkp.com/linux/soundapp_site_roughs
I have just posted a rough draft of requirements on that page.
It (hopefully) includes everything important from
the 2002 discussions. I invite further discussion of these
requirements in this thread.
p.s. Somebody (Marek?) reminded me of the reasons
why anonymous users should be allowed to post new
listings & update existing ones. Thanks for that!
But I lost the mail so I'm not sure who it was.
