I'm not a programmer, so I don't know how someone creates an image in gimp (and then) how the program uses it. But with some frames being transparent and others one's being stable, I've gotten a lot out of animations with little memory. I hope this applies...

And I'm taken interest in you post because I have spent some time with gimp when I got into my web site management class. I would be open to helping with graphics if anyone wants to talk to me about a project that need graphics.

Being (still somewhat) new to all this, I'm not sure if this is off limits. But I will take a chance. I want to say that SuSE has proven to be a really exellent distrob for Multimedia. And it has consistantly delivered what it promises (when you install a program, it useually works right). Any problems I've had running programs have come from lack of experience. Did I just start a Religious war with that statement? > You may need to install >the odd extra package but nothing that isn't on the SuSE CDs. <CHOP-CHOP> Great information. I guess you've helped "soften me up" about the biggest part of trying out new (or newer versions of) programs (the compiling headeachs). I'm sure I will eventually download it and get it going. I have so many other progams that I'm trying out right now though. Thanks, Rocco __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.

[linux-audio-user] Is there interrest in a (near) perfect piano for tiMIDIty for composing music ?

by Roel de Wit

Hi, Currently we are working on a cross-platform and multi format commercial GM/GS soundset named Project Portability (code-name).. We're also going to release an extremly realistic grand piano soundfont for Audigy (2) soundcards.. Currently we are determining whether or not to make a special tiMIDIty version. So I'd like to know if there interrest in the Linux community for such a product ? Details of the soon to be ready v0.2 beta version (Audigy (2) only under Windows at the moment): - Between 180 and 220 MB of 48 Khz 16 bit stereo samples sampled from a real piano. These are samples of 5 velocity layers of the piano. - 127 velocity layers. - Perfectly natural piano behaviour and sound. Some MP3 recordings of the v0.1 release can be found at http://project-portability.foad.nl .. These are dry (no reverb) recordings without any post-processing applied to them.. Any comments would be appreciated. --- Roel / Utopia Sound Division http://www.utopiasd.com

I tend to agree with jfm3 here... the EDP featureset and interface was pretty much designed expressly for realtime live use. Other looping paradigms might be more powerful and appropriate for computer UI interaction and sequencing... and I'm sure one of us will get something jacked into Ardour eventually :) On another note -- if anyone gets sooperlooper (via PD or anything else) working on a Mac, let me know because Matthias Grob (the designer of the original EDP) has expressed interest in using it. jlc

It won't be released before it's perfect though and several pianists are currently assisting me in the getting it as close as possible to the real thing. The Audigy/Audigy2 version for windows will be done first. After than a tiMIDIty version 'might' be made together with the VSampler 3 version. What I've currently interrested in is if there is any interrest for such a product for use under Linux.. --- Roel / Utopia Sound Division http://www.utopiasd.com

[linux-audio-user] Rhodes sound

by Patrick Shirkey

Anyone know how I can emulate a rhodes using the computer keyboard? A mix I'm working on really needs some hearty organ. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd. For the discerning hardware connoisseur 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!

I just want to learn a bunch of basic programs first (sequencers, multitrackers, alsa...) to see what they all offer. Then I'll tackle jack. So far I'm discovering some pretty powerful tools. I don't like to sorta/kind know a program and I think jack will divert me from the time I'm putting into really get to know some basic programs first. I've just so bogged down with trying to understand most of the program's docs that I'm just not prepared to learn jack right now. > Why not try using Rosegarden or Muse to play the sequences > then you can interface directly to jack? I was learning Rosegarden (according to the installer notes it's version 2.1pl3-257) but it kept crashing. Even if it was stable, it's not very (musically) intuitive. The only way to edit notes is by numbers. It just didn't seem to have anything special about it. Expecially compared to jazz's graphical editing and live "real" insturment recording capabilities. And I'm still reading the Doc on jazz. I probly have an old version of Rosegarden (although I have the latest SuSE). Some of the things I've heard about newer versions of Rosegarden sounds promising. But with all the energy that goes into really getting to know the details of all these programs, I just don't want to deal with (possible) compiling problems. SuSE's put together a good set of diverse music programs that work immediatly apon installing them. I'm going to wait till I have the time to work out possible compiling problems that come with getting the newer versions. I just tried out muse today. It looks very promising. But this is what I encontered. I would appreciate if you could offer any information on how to solve this. I loaded a midi file that plays on every midi player/sequencer I've used. And I also did the "quick start" But I couldn't get any sound out of it and it didn't seem to input any notes from my midi keyboard. I have kaconnect set like this: External MIDI 0 ---> Emu10K1 Wave Table ---> Muse Sequencer Muse Sequencer ---> Emu10K Wave Table I was unable to load any instruments in the track info window. It just shows ---> ??? I tried all the different "Song Types". I'm too new at this to know what "NO" "GM" "GS" and "XG" are so I tried each one and it didn't seem to have any affect. I'm looking forward to trying out Muse. Any help would be appreciated... Rocco __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
