Hi,
I have a problem to connect SpiralSynth to my external midi keyboard.
Maybe someone could help me.
I have edit the Spiralrc file in my home directory:
BufferSize = 512
FragSize = 256
FragCount = -1
Samplerate = 44100
WantMidi = 1
FilterGranularity = 50
Output = /dev/adsp
Midi = /dev/snd/midiC1D0
WantRealtimeOut = 1
KeyMap = zsxdcvgbhnjmq2w3er5t6y7ui9o0p[
Polyphony = 2
/dev/snd/midiC1D0 is my first virtual midiport
then I connect 72:0 to 80:2 (external keyboard) but I can't hear any sound
from Spiralsynth when I play on the keyboard.
Some ideas ?
My system is Suse 8.2
This is my midi setup
64:0 ES1371 ES1371
72:0 Virtual Raw MIDI 1-0 VirMIDI 1-0
73:0 Virtual Raw MIDI 1-1 VirMIDI 1-1
74:0 Virtual Raw MIDI 1-2 VirMIDI 1-2
75:0 Virtual Raw MIDI 1-3 VirMIDI 1-3
80:0 MidiSport 4x4 MidiSport 4x4 Port 0
80:1 MidiSport 4x4 MidiSport 4x4 Port 1
80:2 MidiSport 4x4 MidiSport 4x4 Port 2
80:3 MidiSport 4x4 MidiSport 4x4 Port 3
Thank you very much

Hi
I'm trying to get *any* input/output (MIDIin/audio out) going with
smurf, but didn't succed so far. Is there any trick that one should know
of? I don't need anything fancy, simply to be able to press a note on my
Evolution keyboard and hear the sound comming from smurf as I edit. My
soundcard is set up with ALSA + OSS emulation and works with other apps.
I do realize that smurf is so old it's dead. What are other, more recent
applications for editing soundfonts?
I'm on debian/unstable...
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
I have a card using the cmi8738 with digital IO, sold in the
Netherlands under the name Trust (digital sound surroud 5.1). I payd
euro 50,-- for it. This card is being sold under different names in
different countries. It works OK with alsa and jack.

Hi,
After reading an article about Linux and music in Sound On Sound recently,
I thought I'd take the plunge and begin moving my music studio to Linux.
Currently I'm using an Athlon XP-based PC and a PowerMac 7600/200. The PC
contains a Hoontech DSP24 Value card and an MPU-401 style MIDI interface
that I put together myself. The Mac contains a Yamaha SW1000 card and an
Opcode MIDI interface. My main music software is Cubase, although I've used
tons of other music software over the years.
The main programs I'm interested using are Rosegarden and Ardour, although
I'm also interested in looking at some of the softsynth stuff too.
I work as a technical writer and have written some music software for Mac
and PC (CS1 Background Edit) so I'm fairly computer literate. However, I
have no experience with Linux.
Initially, I installed Debian on my PC, however it didn't get along with my
TFT monitor. I've since bought Red Hat 9.0. Which I'm just about to
install. Hopefully it will be a bit easier to use!
Before I begin the installation I was wondering if someone could fill me in
on the current state of ALSA. I've had a quick look at some of the How-Tos
however I'm not clear on how up-to-date they are.
I'm currently looking at getting a new soundcard--the Hoontech was really
only a temporary measure to get sound out of the PC. Unfortunately, it
seems that the SW1000 won't ever be supported so it's not much use.
I'd like a card with balanced 24-bit analog I/O and SPDIF I/O. The MiaMIDI
card seems to have these features. Does anyone have experience with this
card on a Linux system?
I also thought that a Delta66 would be suitable too.
Cheers,
Chris Share
Hi,
After my recent "newbie" post I thought I'd let everyone know that I've
successfully installed Red Hat 9.0. It correctly detected my video card and
monitor, something that Debian couldn't do. The install process was very
simple and well documented.
Cheers,
Chris

I can't remember who it was that said that 'any sufficiently advanced
technology is indistinguishable from magic', anyway, it is true.
In the short term it may seem like overcomplexity, in the long term however
it's evolution and will soon be what average joe uses, without thinking about
it.
There is a possibility that it really _IS_ overcomplexity, but then something
else will come along, a new paradigm, that takes over. Evolution saves the
day once again :)
Myself I don't think it is too complex, it may be magic to those who haven't
taken the plunge yet though.

Actually, I'd like to hear about why the kernel developers were shocked about our use of capabilities. Could you expand on that?

This is exactly what I have suggested yesterday and today. Gentoo does
this
other places, like with 3D acceleration. They provide ebuild that don't
work
until I compile my kernel to turn on certain things and edit my XF86config
file to enable features.
We'll see. I think we'll get there.
A while back some of the kernel developers were a bit shocked we were
using
capabilities this way, but that's another story! ;-)

Hi everyone,
I was setting up the main music machine here to run RedHat 9.0, so that I could use the Planet CCRMA colection when I ran into a little problem. I thought that I would post it here, so that it might get archived for future reference.
I had some problems with the driver for the older Motu mtpav midi router we have that's driven by the computer via the printer port.
It turns out that the CUPS printing system, which is the rh9.0 default, totally ties up the parallel port even when the defined printer is a network printer. Once "cups" is loaded the port becomes unusable even if the cups service is later stopped. The only way to free up the port is to reboot the machine it seems.
Using the old style LPD printing seems to work just fine, so the problem is easily fixed.
Machine is older PIII running the planet 2.4.21-1.ll.acpi kernel with acpi turned off on the kernel command line. LowLatencey is turned on via /etc/sysctl.conf. Alsa drivers seem to be version 0.9.4 or newer(whatever Nando compiled on the above kernel). Card 0 = snd-ice1712 Card 1 = snd-mtpav
tracey
Using redhat9+planetCCRMA, I run ardour with normal permissions. It's all in the capabilites.

I agree completely. Audacity or Rezound would be much better choices until
the system is well understood.
I found this interesting and maybe topical. Last night I built the latest
Ardour from a Gentoo ebuild. Turns out it's the only Jack program I've
found
so far that requires me to be logged in as root to connect to the Jack
server. All the others (admittedly not that many) allow me to connect as a
user.
Assuming this is not just something strange about my setup, do you really
want a new user logged on as root learning Ardour? I wouldn't...
Just a thought.
