[linux-audio-user] fluidsynth and midi device

by Mikhail Ramendik

Hello! I have tried to run fluidsynth-1.0.1 on my Linux system with an ES1371 sound card (i want to attach a MIDI keyboard to the sound card's midi input). But it said that there's no device /dev/midi . There indeed is none, but midi0, midi1, midi2, midi3, midi00, midi01, midi02, midi03 are present. I tried: ln -s /dev/midi0 /dev/midi but this did not help - fluidsynth still says that no device named /dev/midi is available. Is there any way for me to use fluid with my PC's midi input? -- Sincerely yours, Mikhail Ramendik

The thing is *learning* it but I am willing to drop (almost) > everything and focus on it for a while. Well, theres almost nothing to SDL (well the parts I used anyway), I just dont think its appropriate, I ended up writing widget code for the sliders and stuff, which is why they suck so much. In retrosect just using GTK would have been easier. > If you want I can give you ftp access to djcj.org and you can put it > there in a semi/private place. The intention wasn't that it be especially private, I just didn't think anyone else would want to work on it. I originally wanted to get beta bug reports from a small number of people so I could handle the feedback, but I dont think that will be a problem now. > >I have no particular feelings about what toolkit, as long as its C, and > >preferably has working vertical faders, the ones in GTK-1.x are > >inconvienient. > > I willing to go with the current stuff and work from there.

The current state is that I'm halfway through refactoring the UI code to make some of the compressor controls rotary, so its impossible to tell what its doing at the moment. The question is wether its quicker to rescue the SDL code or replace it with GTK code or similar. Is there anyone else who wants to work on this? If not I'l just leave the code where it is for now and give Patrick a login on the machine. If there are a few people I'l have to move it to sourceforge or something, but I dont really want to do that cos I think theres going to be some major structural work needs doing. - Steve

[linux-audio-user] Jeux d'orgues 2 clicking on fluidsynth

by Mikhail Ramendik

Hello, I have just got fluidsynth to run on my Linux box. It works fine with most soundfonts. But I ran into a strange problem with "Jeux d'orgues 2", the big organ soundfont which is right at the top of hammersound.net's organ list. It plays, but produces a click on every release of a key! Of course I looked at the output of "top" in a different console, and fluidsynth was only using 10% or so of teh cpu. No other tasks were running (before I started "top"). I can't check it with an SB Live, so I do not know if it is perhaps a problem in the soundfont. But somehow I doubt a soundfont woth such an obvious bug would be up there for so long and the author would not notice. So, can this be a problem with fluidsynth or my system? And, is there a way to check, without access to an SB Live? (Perhaps I should try to install timidity?) By the way, is there any other good organ soundfont available? -- Sincerely yours, Mikhail Ramendik

[linux-audio-user] noteedit-2.1.1(segno issues, double bar)

by Joerg Anders

Version 2.1.1 of the score editor NoteEdit for Linux is available: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html New features: - staff context (the actual clef and key signature is shown at the left hand side during replay; configurable) - (again) KDE2/Qt2 compatible Please note: I cannot really test this. For a long run I recommend an KDE3/QT3 update. - double bar - Segno issues (see also "example1.not"): o Segno o dal Segno o dal Segno al Fine o dal Segno al Coda o Fine o Coda Please set these signs in every staff, otherwise ... (don't know ???) Furthermore, it is your responsibiltity to place the signs in a reasonable manner. Otherwise the replay behaviour is undefined. - MUP users: I didn't comprehend some parts of MUP. Thus, I stored some items in a non-MUP-conform manner. As a result some files were not MUP-able. Now I changed some of these parts, among them: o Slurs: I claimed MUP cannot deal with slures which lead over more than 2 notes. This is not true! NoteEdit-2.1.1 now produces a MUP-comfrom representation of such slurs. This holds for the 1st and 2nd voice. From 3rd voice on the representation remains MUP-incompatible. o "lonely" trills: I claimed MUP cannot deal with so-called "lonely" trills (wavy lines without "tr" symbol). But this is not true. NoteEdit-2.1.1 now produces a MUP-comfrom representation of such trills. o Empty lyrics: I claimed MUP cannot deal with partly missing lyrics in a measure. This is not true. NoteEdit-2.1.1 now produces a MUP-comfrom representation of such lyrics. I apologize to the MUP developers for these wrong statements. Before asking this: Of cource, NoteEdit can still read the old representation. So if you want a MUP conform version of some non-MUP-conform "*.not" file simply load the the file an save it again. -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY (ja(a)informatik.tu-chemnitz.de)

[linux-audio-user] mastering prorgram features

by dan＠easley.com

hey, all. I'm a lurker, currently confined to recording my albums on a 200 MHz Pentium II with 32 megs RAM running Win95 and Cakewalk 8. I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever latency I happen to get when I buy the new computer and put linux on it. :) In the meantime, I wanted to mention indexing as another nice feature to have in a mastering/burning application, and wanted to mention Wavelab as a program I absolutely love mixing and "mastering" (I'm a geek with a PC - I don't know how to master :) with - it's the only program ever built with that "stuff the thing full of features till there's no screen left" mentality that I've actually liked. So we might glean some ideas from them. (Or not - it can be frustrating to have the pointer change shape and function every 50 pixels or so...) I look forward to contributing more as I can - just got my first full-time desk job, so I get to spend the next few months picking out the perfect motherboard, the perfect case, etc... in the meantime, I'll be Lurking, dan Rev.

[linux-audio-user] rosegarden-I/O

by Moeflon

Hi everybody, Simple question: I want to use my Evolution USB-keyboard for input with rosegarden. I don't seem to get any midi-i/o, nor any sound comming out of the speakers. (Yes, checked the mixersettings) How can I solve these 2 probs? When I compose the notes manually, I see the small VU-meter next to the channel is moving when playing the track, but in no way I get any soundoutput... Any hints?

[linux-audio-user] Sound visualisation app

by Patrick Shirkey

Someone asked recently about a sound visualisation app and got no response IIRC. I just received a link for the alsa applications page http://www.maysl.at/ Fische provides standalone sound visualisation under linux using the ALSA and SDL libraries Looks pretty trippy. There are also: bomb synaesthesia various xmms plugins -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd. Http://www.boosthardware.com Http://www.djcj.org - The Linux Audio Users guide ======================================== Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything I've ever done. Goldie, 8 Nov, 2002 The Scotsman

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] swh-plugins 0.4.0

by Steve Harris

http://plugin.org.uk/releases/0.4.0/ This one is a very experimental release, hence the .0, its even more likly to cause pain and death than other releases :) I've attached a list of the plugins against what state I think there in, for the people who want to help by testing, it should save you some time by weeding out the very simple and definatly broken ones. Please test against this version, not previous ones. It includes rough support for gettext, so, in theory the plugins can be localised without support from hosts. If people want to provide translations, look in the po directory, I think theres everything you need, but I've never used gettext before, so I may have messed up. I've done some significant work on the compressors, most notably SC4, (stereo, no sidechain) which has a continuously variable RMS/peak control and a magick 'fast' mode: when the attack time is set to very low it behaves more like a limiter. This feature seems to be present on a lot of hardware compressors. SC4 now has ID 1882, so you should move away or delete the old sc4_1434.so file. It wasn't strictly neccesary to rename the file, but it would be confusing (to me) if I didn't. The others all have slightly faster responses and less damping after I found out that you were /supposed/ to get pumping with fast envelopes :) I ran through them with demolition (http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njl98r/code/ladspa/) and fixed a lot of crash bugs, so things should be more stable once the major code changes settle down. There is still no support for the beta FFTW (version 3), or OSX. I wanted to get this release out this week, they should be supported in the next version. Summary: please test, especially the compressors translations welcome - Steve
