I downloaded jsynthlib about a week ago because I need to install a newer os into the Andromeda here.
I haven't found the time to even try jsynthlib on something simpler first, but it seems like it would be great if it works.
Ron, could you post to the list if this works? I would really appreciate it.

Hi Chris
I meant hardware, so what was suggested was correct.

Greetings:
Once again I've updated the Linux soundapps sites. All sites are
current and can be accessed via these URLs :
http://linux-sound.org (USA)
http://www.linuxsound.at (Europe)
http://linuxsound.jp/ (Japan)
Many thanks to Frank Barknecht for his assistance with linuxsound.at.
Many thanks also to all my site providers: the mirrors have been donated
by their respective owners as a service to the community, for which I am
most grateful.
Enjoy !
Best regards,

Congratulations to Dave Phillips for outstanding round up of softsynths
in May 2003 Linux Journal.
Now if we all voted with e-mails to Linux Journal, perhaps we could
influence the editors to open up a monthly column on audio with Dave on
the masthead.
Again, many thanks and fine job Dave.
Best wishes,

Hello!
Is there a soft synth for Linux that can be on a par with Gigastudio,
preferrably even be able to use Gigastudio samples/instruments?
(For now fluidsynth works fine for me, but I'm thinking of a possible
future. If I start on Linux, I want to be bale to go all teh way to pro
level on Linux as well).

Greetings:
I'm writing to the lists in the hope of finding someone who can advise
me on contacting someone in charge of www.linuxsound.at in Austria. The
former contact was Georg Hitsch, I've written to him but as yet have
received no reply. The site is still on-line, but for some reason I can
longer log in to update it. Thus only the US and Japanese sites have
been updated recently.
Any assistance will be vastly appreciated.

Hello!
I want to work with fluidsynth, researden, etc. Seems like I need to
install jack.
But, I use KDE, and it installs arts.
Is there a way to make them work together, and without an increase in
latency at that&

I would like purchase a very simple and straight forward USB<->SPDIF
converter and do full duplex streaming (i.e. record sound from SPDIF output
device, process the sound in Linux and play it back to SPDIF device in
real-time).
Would LOVE to know if anyone can recommend any of such devices (esp. from
personal experience, for example Edirol/Roland UA-1D or Opcode DatPort
appear to be such devices - only do they work on Linux...)
USB<->SPDIF converter *must* work in *full duplex* mode (with ALSA generic
USB driver or any other if such is available for Linux).
If you do have something to recommend, then I would like to stretch your
patience and ask you a question regarding the device/model of your choice:
considering, that USB<->SPDIF converter is capable of recording SPDIF
signal - I presume that it is capable of syncing to incoming input (i.e.
otherwise clicks would occur).
Also, given that the device is capable of playing to SPDIF device - it is
assumable that USB<->SPDIF converter has its own internal clock (i.e. not
recording anything, just playing signal back to say a DAT machine which will
need to sync to the signal produced by USB<->SPDIF converter, etc.).
Would I then be correct in thinking that if such is the case - then there
would be some way of controlling whether to use internal clock or to sync to
external signal - or would be such decision made automatically whenever
deciding to record - USB<->SPDIF converter will lock to incoming signal (in
such a case - it is important to know it, because problems could arrise if
for instance single DAT machine was used as AD/DA box *and* set to sync to
incoming signal - this way DAT machine would try to sync to USB<->SPDIF
converter, whilst USB<->SPDIF converter would be trying to sync to DAT
machine... pitch shift anyone?)
Kind regards,
Leon.
Hi,
is it possible to use an external mixer and have some multitrack mixing
app react on what I do with the knobs?
I am running alsa 0.9.2 and the 2.5.66 kernel. It's an Acer laptop with
one pcmcia slot, two USB ports, one parport and one 'monitor' port
Any suggestions for a particular device/app setup?
Thanks a lot.

No, no - I can't get anything to run properly on that machine, and don't expect
to. I'd master on my Marantz cassette recorder first! I look forward to trying
out the system once I'm into 1+GHz proc. speeds.
