Hello,
I just released a new version of tapiir. Tapiir now supports jack.
Tapiir can be found at
http://www.iua/~mdeboer/projects/tapiir/
Tapiir is a simple and flexible audio effects processor, inspired on
the classical magnetic tape delay systems used since the early days
of electro-acoustic music composition. It provides a graphical user
interface consisting of six delay lines, or "taps", which can
introduce an almost arbitrarily big or small delay to their inputs
and can be feed back to each other.
A wide set of effects can be easily achieved by properly configuring
and connecting the delay lines: complex echo patterns, resonances,
filtering, etc. Delays, interconnections and gains can all be
controlled in real time.

I know that there are quite a few musicians on this list so I thought
they might be interested in this (if they didn't already know about it).
I was reading an article yesterday (I don't remember where) that was
talking about the BSA fining businesses for unlicensed software. Lo and
behold, the first business cited (for 8 unlicensed copies of M$) was
Ernie Ball/Music Man. Apparently they got stung for $90,000.00 US. The
article stated that Ernie Ball immediately switched to "open source" and
never looked back. Being a curious person, I sent an email to Ernie
Ball to find out what "open source" meant. The answer is Red Hat
Linux. It's nice to see a fairly large music business getting the
message.
It appears that the BSA may be one of open source's biggest allies.

Just a quick question. After installing Redhat 8, I'm a bit concerned by the
follwing line in my /proc/interrupts:
10: 476 XT-PIC usb-uhci, usb-uhci, EMU10K1
Aside from the extreme nausea resulting from learning that my sacred MIDI port
is being put in the same office as the disgusting mundane usb port, is this
a performance issue if I'm not actually using the usb port?
I suspect there is a bit of a hit because the interrupt handler now has to
poll all the sources, but I maybe not - I understand the principles of
interrupt handling but not the specifics of the PCI bus or the linux kernel.
So do I need to do something about this, or not?

I've just checked in a new ebuild for rosegarden-4 0.8.5.
(media-sound/rosegarden) it's currently masked.
I'd appreciate any feedback letting me know if i can move it to stable
- i don't have the midi hardware to do much testing.
Cheers

Hi everyone,
I'm quite new to linux (and linux-audio) and have some basic questions
regarding the audio tools on linux.
I'm running Mandrake 9.0 with a patched 2.4.20 kernel and finally
managed to install most of the applications I need (thanks to Thac's
RPMs !!), mainly alsa, jack, ecasound, Muse, rosegarden, some
soft-synth, did not try ardour yet ;-). I think I still need to enable
capabilities in the kernel for jack, but I try to do things one by one.
When reading articles on low-latency linux, xruns are often mentionned
but I can not figure what it exactly means, could someone explain me
that -surely- simple thing ?
The other question is about jack. Does Jack enable synchronisation
between HD recorder (ecasound, ardour) and midi sequencer (Muse for
example) ? I saw something about the transport feature of jack, but does
not know exactly what it does.
Many Thank,
Christophe
Takashi (and All), thanks for you help but I still cant get it to work...
I downloaded the latest RC7 and built with --with-debug=detect
on the configure line.
./utils/alsaconf finds the OPL3SA2 but the module still wont load.
One of the messages ends with detect=0xFF or the like I'm sorry,
I forgot the exact line.
How do i tell the pnp Id ? pnpdump has a line with YMH0800/-1 in it
and there are lots of YMH0020 and YMH0021's floating around but as
I'm a bit of a newbie I'm not quite sure where to look !
Thanks again to all for your help.
Is there anything else I can do ?
Chris.

Hi everybody,
Been on linux for about 1 year now. Realy super experience after my
headache-period with M$.
But I ran into troubles now... Reïnstalled my MDK 9.0 (different
partition usage). At initial startup (before installing extra software)
ALSA works fine, no troubles at all. After I installed the software,
after a needed reboot, if I want to open my "alsamixergui" I get an
error: no mixers found... No sound at all, even not running XMMS on
OSS-out...I installed (almost) everything sound-related from mirrors I
got from PLF.
Did check soundcard settings, seems some program changed the driver for
my SBlive to audigy.... (weird to me) Tried applying the old driver. It
worked for the OSS, not for alsa, nor for esound... (yes esound doesn't
allow any sound either) and yes, I suppose the mixers are not set to 0..
although I can't check that...
Why o why does this happen?? Already noticed that turning off my
Evolution-usb-keyboard during rebooting was needed, because of probs
with alsactl during boot...
Could anybody plz give me a clue howto solve this prob?
And in addition to this, does anybody feel like expaining to me why
(even on my previous setup) rosegarden doesn't produce any hearable
sound? (yes the vu-meters move when I play an added track, but no sound
is heard, and yes, jack is running (as root, right?)

No... I've got an old 3dfx Banshee... gl... the drivers have been
working better than the ones it shipped with.
For the time being, I've killed it though. I've spent too much
time at that and not enough trying to glue snd and common music
to scwm {with emacs, texemacs ...maybe lilypond or musictex, moho
and guile in there as well.} I just set up a stock thing...
{I found this nifty scheme-like animation language/system called
al {one of the first links under animation at linuxlinks.com} .
...Considering the possibilities of scheme and common music...
and... how much I like all of the above mentioned apps..It seems
as though it will make the ideal system for me.}
Thanks though.
Anyone know of synths or sequencers that will tie into the above mess?
Vincent,
The USB interface came with my Sony MZ-R700 MiniDisk which also features
a microphone input. It is the Xitel MD-Port DG2, and and connects
through an optical TosLink (S/PDIF) to digitally transfer music files
from computer to the MD. Nice little box, and fully supported under
Linux just as my MidiSport 2x2 MIDI interface, and HP6200c scanner.

Hi
I'm getting annoying messages on startup, I think from hotplug. This is
because it can't find some usb port, which is not surprising as I have no
external connections of that sort. The only way I can get rid of that is to
kill khubd, which is clearly unsatisfactory. Can I uninstall hotplug entirely
if I have no usb devices without losing other functionality?
cheers
