Is it possible to increase the size of Aeolus UI?

by david

Good afternoon! I use a 4K HDR display. The Aeolus UI comes up so small as to almost unusable. Anyway to increase its size? -- David W. Jones gnome(a)hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community http://dancingtreefrog.com "My password is the last 8 digits of π."

Are there any good, free, Aeolus-style violin synths?

by david

Good evening! Just wondering. I love Aeolus' sound, and wondered if anyone has applied the same idea to violins? Thanks. -- David W. Jones gnome(a)hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community http://dancingtreefrog.com "My password is the last 8 digits of π."

Advice on fitting new MIDI keyboard controller into my setup?

by david

Good evening! I just ordered a StudioLogic SL88 MIDI controller. (Sorry, been playing piano since age 3 and missed 88 keys!) I've been using a Yamaha PSR-225 for some sounds and entering notes. It has no controls such as pitchbend, while the SL88 has three joysticks. I mostly use Yoshimi, Qsynth, Aeolus, and Rosegarden. Occasionally other softsynths. I'm running Debian Bookworm. I use Cadence to manage the audio and other connections. Any advice on how I can setup my studio conveniently? The one convenience of having a keyboard that could make its own sounds was that simply turning it on was enough. Something automatic would be nice. Ideas? Thanks. -- David W.

Update of zita-jacktools

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, zita-jacktools 1.7.1 is now available at the usual place: <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html> zita-jacktools is a collection of Jack audio processors implemented as Python classes. These can be combined to create complex graphs that are completely controlled by a Python script and can be interfaced to anything that Python can handle. Main applications are automated measurements, sound installations, listening tests, etc. New is this release: class JackBw8filt Up to 100 8th order Butterworth bandpass filters. Each one can be configured separately and be lowpass, highpass or both in series. Mainly meant for measurements that require this sort of filtering. classes JackFwplay amd JackFwcapt These two classes allow to process an audio file via any combination of Jack apps that function correctly in Jack's freewheeling mode, and record the result. All examples having a GUI now use PyQt6 -- FA

KVR Music Cafe - March contest

by Will Godfrey

Once again, this really *REALLY* needs more support. It's not just bumping along the bottom, it's scraping a deep trench in it :( This month's topic is Hell, and with what going on in the world these days, you should not be short of subject matter. Or, you can do what one of the current submitters has done and turn it on it's head and do the opposite. We always accept sneaky ways round subjects - it's part of the fun. And yes, I am again the only contributor running on Linux :( -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Audio work on fanless ARM Thinkpad x13s?

by Peter P.

Hi, is anyone already using the ARM-based Thinkpad X13s for audio work? I am wondering if this could be a nice fanless laptop to use, and if hardware/soundcard drivers are available for this architecture? Thanks for all comments! Peter

When foo.dsp is compiled, ./foo gives you the exact name to be used for each control. But feel free to improve all that for a more explicit control when running. Stéphane
