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

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.

Upon another person's suggestion, I have been using alsamixer's ability to "capture" _anything_. What a great tool this has been. I have done things like (not only) recorded my softsynth right into ecasound, but also added sound effects. This has the advantage of being able to hear the echo in my headphones but not recording them to the file (so I can add effects when I do the final mix). I was suprized at some of the things that it allowed. I was able to get better control over ecasound effects for one. I couldn't really get deep sounding delays until I disovered the ability to raise that channel in alsamixer. I've used those capibility along with the few program (compared to how many are out there) to do some pretty cool things. I was even able to record my softsynth into jazz (jazz has live recording cabilities) and even turn each midi track into a wav file that I then put into ecasound to record real instruments. I'm sure I can capture ecasounds effects into jazz and be able to record live instruments with effects. But this is not as versitile as being able to capture each midi track and put it all in ecasound and get much better control and quality over the sound. >* Use a software soundfont synthesizer. I think, timidity can also use >soundfonts, but personally I use iiwusynth. This would work with >your current setup, because you can configure ecasound to use another >synth in ~/.ecasoundrc at: > ext-timidity-cmd = timidity -Or1S -id -s %s -o - %f >This can be replaced with your favorite synth. I tried that with pmidi and playmidi and it worked, but it wouldn't let me record _anything_ to a file. I may have completly gone in a different direction with being able to record midi tracks, capturing them to wav and putting them into ecasound. Even with Timidity I couldn't fast forward while in ecasound. It just jumps to the beginning. But you never know when there's a combination of programs that do what no other seem to do. I will keep trying different seqencers with ecasound. >* Use another sequencer. This is basically the same a solution two, > but for example MusE comes with iiwusynth build in. I'm Looking forward to trying Muse. I beleive from what I read, it will do live recording also. And appearently, form what I've discovered in the last few days, I'm probly going to be able to use any softsynth along with it.

[linux-audio-user] sooperlooper goes PD

by Jesse Chappell

The SooperLooper LADSPA plugin now comes with PD patches! For those that might not remember, SooperLooper is a LADSPA plugin that emulates the Gibson-Oberheim Echoplex Digital Pro looping sampler. Go get more info and download it at its new address: http://essej.net/sooperlooper/ See the screenshot of the PD patches in action here: http://essej.net/sooperlooper/sooperlooper_pd_shot.png It is controllable via the PD GUI or MIDI program change messages from your footcontroller (the ideal interface). Unfortunately, there are bugs in the plugin~-0.2 external that seems to be around. I made a source patch that fixes the output control message bugs, and extended them to include the output control port index as well. You will need this patched version of plugin~ to run SooperLooper in PD properly. Get the patch here: http://essej.net/sooperlooper/pd-plugin0.2-patch.diff If someone on the pd-devel list could forward this, I would much appreciate it. Dave Phillips, could you also update the web address on your LM&S pages with the new address above? Enjoy... please post with any problems/suggestions. jlc
