Hi there. Does anybody have a step by step on how to get a little Steinberg USB MIDI 2 (2 ins 2 outs, little blueish box) running with red hat 9? I have installed the planet ccrma alsa stuff, along with the audio stuff. things are working to some degree (except I haven't been able to record yet - but I'll wait to ask about that, when my real sound card comes :) )
I haven't got a clue, basically. I'm pretty new. When I wanted a midi interface to work in Cakewalk for DOS (that's right, that's what I was using last) I just downloaded the driver, and copied the driver into a file called driver.something - this apparently is not quite that simple? (I have read the planet ccrma how to on usb interfaces - so far nothing, and I was afraid the apt-get hotplug thing would flash firmware onto my steinberg that wouldn't be right, considering the steinberg isn't listed on their hardware list...
am I even remotely understandable???
thanks in advance! *laugh*

Hi!
What a way would you suggest me to go, if I decided to emulate a sound of
an explosion?

That problem was fixed in CVS. I don't know when another tarball will be put out, but if you download the CVS version it is fixed.

I try to compile ardour(version 0.9beta3).
But my CPU is a AMD-450. i586.
I see in the configure script in the directory .../libs/ardour some C
Flags
for i686.
Is correcty?
Probably I have problems with this flags?
In time, i can't compile ardour because one error.
Somebody can help-me with this error?
I can't subscribe in the ardour-dev or ardour-user mailing list. :(
I need change my e-mail because I never post any message in these
mailings.

Hi,
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I set up a bunch of
aconnect commands to route my keyboard controller (64:0) to a number of
synths on different MIDI interfaces, and also to route the output of Pro
Tools (on another computer) to pretty much the same places:
aconnect 64:0 64:32
aconnect 64:0 80:1
aconnect 80:0 64:0
aconnect 80:0 64:32
aconnect 80:0 80:1
I also route Pro Tools output back to my keyboard (line 3) in case I
want to plug another hardware synth in there, but nothing is hooked up
to that right now.
At this point I set up my mixer and play. Everything works and is
perfectly fine for long periods of time.
I then start Jack and within a minute or two I lose MIDI connectivity. I
can run alsaplayer or other audio apps and I still get audio, but there
is no more MIDI connectivity. I look at the synths and they are not
receiving MIDI input. (No event lights.)
I then stop Jack and I immediately hear a bunch of MIDI notes get
played.These notes were stored from when I wasn't getting connectivity.
At this point I have MIDI back for live playing until the next time I
start Jack when it happens again.
I do this 4 or 5 times and at this point I cannot get MIDI back at all.
I have to completely power down as far as I can tell. I tried rebooting
and had no luck the one time I did that.
I don't know what to look at to figure out what could be causing this.
Hardware and modules shown below.
Thanks,
Mark

How bad is 2 ms latency?
I'm trying to decide upon a sound card and
I've noticed that the Creative Sound Blaster
Audigy 2 has a 2 ms latency, but offers
"hiss free" audio fidelity at 106 dB SNR.
The Delta 410 has zero latency, but its $200 US.
Now I'm an idiot at this high end sound card stuff,
so I'm not sure what really matters. All I want to do
is use Linux Audacity to record my own multi-track
creations and convert LP 33rpm records to CD.
I'm sick of tape hiss! After 4 tracks my analog
tape machine is useless. So I bought this here
computer to get away from that hiss and maybe
record something I can listen to without grinding
my teeth.
Any adice would be most welcome!

You can generate a note-on event from bash, with something like this:
echo -n $'\x90\x45\x70' > /dev/midi01
The above command plays the A note on "/dev/midi01"
x90 is the MIDI note-on status byte
x45 = decimal 69 = A (440 Hz).
x70 is the note velocity
If you want to stop the sound, use:
echo -n $'\x80\x45\x70' > /dev/midi01
where x80 is the note-off status byte.

You need to discover which /dev/midiXX is your soundcard wavetable synth.
If you prefer to use ALSA rawmidi devices, replace /dev/midiXX with
/dev/snd/midiCxDy, where "x" is the card number and "y" is a device number
belonging to this card.

Again of my problem with start jack.
What means the mistake:
jackd: pcm.c:689: snd_pcm_nonblock: Assertion 'pcm' failed.
Thanks!

When running Frank's exmaple pd patch (and all the others I've tried)
under JACK, using the Planet CCRMA version of pd I get lots of IO Errors
reported by pd, even though there doesnt seem to be any dropouts, the cpu
load is low and jack doesnt report any xruns.
Is there a .pdrc file or something where I can set the block size to make
it match jacks? Or is there something else wrong?
Cheers,
Steve

Can anyone recommend a simple pd patch that wont take too much CPU, runs
happiily in jack and takes a pair of streams does something noticable and
outputs a pair of streams?
The examples I tried generally dont do straight processing.
I should be able to make one myself really, but I dont have pd-fu :(
Thanks,
Steve
