[linux-audio-user] ecamegapedal 0.4.0 released

by Kai Vehmanen

1. A short summary of changes Sliders for parameter control and text inputs for lower and upper bounds have been added as well as support for LADSPA-1.1 and ecasound effect parameter hints. There has been some user interface improvements and a native JACK support has been added. Updated to use the new ecasound-2.2 libraries. --- 2. What is ecamegapedal? Ecamegapedal is a real-time effect processor software with a graphical user interface for controlling the effect parameters. It is meant to be used as a virtual guitar-fx or studio effect box. In addition to real-time operation, ecamegapedal also supports reading from and writing to audio files. All audio object and effect plugin types provided by the ecasound libraries are supported. This includes ALSA, JACK, OSS, aRts, over 20 file formats, over 30 effect types, LADSPA plugins and multi-operator effect presets. Ecamegapedal's implementation is based on ecasound and Qt libraries. Ecamegapedal is licensed under the GPL. --- 3. Changes since the last stable release * Added native JACK support. If compiled with JACK support enabled, ecamegapedal will upon startup fetch the current engine parameters from the JACK server, and initialize the ecamegapedal configuration to work with JACK. In practice this means that you don't have to manually set the buffersize and sample rate parameters to use ecamegapedal with JACK. * Support for LADSPA-1.1 and ecasound effect parameter hints. * Text inputs for overriding default upper and lower bounds for parameter values. * Sliders for controlling parameter values. * Pixmaps for transport control buttons. * Takes advantage of the newly released ecasound 2.2.0 libraries (does not work with older ecasound releases). * Should work with all released Qt2 and Qt3 versions. Tested with qt-2.3.2, qt-3.0.5 and qt-3.1.1. --- 4. Contributors Patches Kai Vehmanen Arto Hamara Bug Hunting Jaakko Prattala Justin Rosander Junichi Uekawa Feature proposals Dan Lyons --- 5.

[linux-audio-user] the continuing story of mandrake 9.0.....

by iriXx

hi all thanks for the advice patrick actually im going to upgrade to cvs will give it a go shortly and let you know the outcome have to go the back route around doing it as KDE depends on the alsa rpms.. i did a lovely job of killing X last night by messing with those... so i'm going to simply tar up the modules and install cvs... i presume a few spare extra alsa libs around the place shouldnt do any harm... i hope! thanx 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] RME9652 and Stereo

by Phil Moors

alsa-0.9.0rc6 RH7.3 kernel 2.4.19 with Andrew Morton's low latency patches ASUS A7M266 Mobo w/Duron 750 single proc I have compiled, installed and loaded the ALSA rme9652 driver. It's compiled without OSS. Using arecord/aplay, I can only record and playback files in mono format. Stereo is eluding me. Pardon the ascii art, monospace font required. My configuration is: LineIn1 LineIn2 Mic ElecBass | | | | main out-----Mackie 1202-VLZpro -----LineIn 5/6 L/R | | | | | input--- ---output L/R | | L/R ART DI/O 2 channel 24bit AD/DA converter | | S/PDIF---- ----S/PDIF RCA out RCA in | | | | S/PDIF S/PDIF RCA in RCA out | | -----Hammerfall--------------------- Also, I can only arecord/aplay using the plug layer. All attempts to use hw fail with: aplay: set_params:781: Access type not available The consumer card is card0 (cs46xx, Hercules Game Theater). My .asoundrc is: pcm.Crystal { type hw card 0 } ctl.Crystal { type hw card 0 } pcm.RME9652 { type hw card 1 } ctl.RME9652 { type hw card 1 } I used alsactl store/restore to enable the S/PDIF on the Hammerfall. It works fine for mono recording and playback. The card is set to AutoSync and I can see sample rate changes made on the ART converter picked up in the Hammerfall. Thanks for any help, Phil

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] JACK TimeMachine 0.0.2

by Steve Harris

I've fixed some build issues and theoretically made it slightly more efficient. If you managed to build 0.0.1 theres no real point in you upgrading. Theres also now a webpage of sorts, with a screenshot ;) http://plugin.org.uk/timemachine/ - Steve

[linux-audio-user] The missing link

by linuxmedia4＠netscape.net

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!?

It is indeed.

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 ***
