Greetings, I always give my best effort before bothering anyone on this list. I just can't find the missing peice. Here's the situation: I create sequence tracks in jazz. Then I record live tracks in ecasound while the midi file plays via timidiy. The problem is that jazz plays from the sound card and timidity can only play .pat files. I create a lush sounding recording in jazz and when I play it with timidity, it sounds weak. Appeartenly, ecasound only supports playing midi files via timidiy. And timidiy can't access the sounds on the sound card. I've been looking all over for several solutions: (1) A midi to wav converter that creates a wav that sounds like what I created in jazz (via the sound card). Then I can just play the wav in ecasound while I record my live tracks along with it. (Timidity will covert to wav, but it's the .pat sounds). I tried using vsound, but it fails with every midi player I've tried. (2) I keep hearing about alsa "capturing" sound. I can't find any documentation on what and how it "captures". Can I press play in a midi player and the sound can be recorded to wav? If so, how? (3) Is there a program that converts .sf2 to .pat. If so, then when I play midi files with timidity, they will sound like what I created with jazz. Thanks in advance...

Nice Article! How did you manage to get SOS to run a Linux article? I was wondering if it would ever happen ;-) Maybe one day there'll even be a "Linux notes" section at the back alongside mac & pc. ah, i can dream :-) -nick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi there, > From: Emiliano Grilli <emillo(a)libero.it> > > * iiwusynth (http://www.hanappe.org/iiwusynth.html) > a soundfont-enabled sampler that is already included in MusE > > * timidity (http://www.onicos.com/staff/iz/timidity/), > that can be started in ALSA server mode Thank you! Looks like a good thing to start with. > From: Vincent Touquet <vincent.touquet(a)pandora.be> > > This project is your biggest hope: > http://linuxsampler.sourceforge.net/ Just subscribed to it´s list ;-). It is indeed. After having used HALion for about half a year, I started do dislike it a lot - and you can´t email the developers "Hey guys, how about fixing this and doing that in a different way"... ;-))) > Also, check this mailinglist's archives, > this question has come up before ... I did so before I wrote, but could not find a clear answer. But now I have something to get going.

[linux-audio-user] seeking a software sampler for Linux

by Florian Berger

Hello to all, I´m searching for some kind of a HALion replacement on Linux. Just a simple engine that responses to MIDI Note on/off and Main Volume per channel, and that can be triggered using some sequencer (as MUSE or Rosegarden). Any hint would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Florian Berger, Leipzig, Germany

[linux-audio-user] quattro distortion under mandrake 9.0 - more details

by iriXx

hi all... firstly, please forgive me for crossposting - im trying to find the most appropriate list for the problems i've been experiencing with loud distorted noise running the usb quattro under mandrake 9.0.... i've ascertained now that it isnt a conflict with X, or with the mouse, as i booted into runlevel 3 and played a wav from the command line with exactly the same results. i had my doubts about this anyhow as i'm running this on a thinkpad 600e - it doesnt have much in the way of video acceleration from what i gather (NeoMagic 256 i think is the graphics chip).... i've been messing around adding and subtracting stuff from sysvinit and loading modules manually to see what might be conflicting, i've tried the mwave modem as well, as modems have often been the culprit for device conflicts, but this doesnt seem to make any difference. so far i've drawn a blank... it puzzles me, as i was happily running alsa for the usb quattro under mandrake 8.2 with no problems whatsoever. before i wipe everything (again!) and go back to 8.2 in desperation.... does anyone know of any issues or differences between sound under mdk 8.2 and 9.0? or any known issues with the quattro driver that might cause this kind of heavily distorted sound? i've checked it isnt a fault with my quattro as i ran it under windows (yuk!) and found that it ran fine. the only difference in my setup that might be worth noting is that under 8.2 i didnt realise that mandrake installed its own alsa - i grabbed a tarball from alsa-project.org and just installed it over the top and it seemed to work fine. with 9.0 i've decided to go with mandrake's alsa rpms, simply because i went through hell with conflicts between 9.0's rpms and the tarballs earlier... on this fresh install i kept things simple. maybe i should switch back to tarball? or maybe i should upgrade from the supplied alsa 0.9.rc2 ? were there changes in the way usb is treated in 9.0 as compared to 8.2 perhaps?... i can also get the distortion down to a listenable level - although still very much present - by playing mp3s in alsaplayer with the volume level down to 1%.... this is hardly satisfactory though and doesnt seem to work in any other apps (doesnt work at all under oss emulation)... sound level has always started out very loud with the quattro but never distorted like this... i've never had this problem at all until i installed mdk 9.0... any suggestions would be very gratefully received! thanks in advance, m~ -- iriXx www.iriXx.org copyleft: creativity, technology and freedom? info(a)copyleftmedia.org.uk www.copyleftmedia.org.uk _ ( ) ascii ribbon against html email X / \ cat /dev/sda1 > /dev/dsp *** stopping make sense ***

[linux-audio-user] Filesystem Latency

by Jan "Evil Twin" Depner

All, Mark Knecht has run Benno Senoner's Latency Test program on ext2, ext3, fat32, and reiser filesystems and has graciously sent me his write-up and graphs. I have added these to my web page at http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR.html. They're well worth checking out. After seeing his tests I ran a few quick tests of my own and have now switched filesystems! V/R Jan Depner

Anyone else having problems with some of the latest cvs ardour versions not being able to start new projects or load old ones? Every time I try to start a new one or load an old one the program just closes. Is there something I'm forgetting to configure? Jonathan
