Debian's alsa-source package has a config file named
/etc/alsa/alsa-source.conf. Debconf should have prompted you for the
name(s) of your card(s) when you installed this package. If that
wasn't done, you can edit that file to define something like this:
ALSA_CARDS="ice1712, rme9652, via82xx"
Or, you can run (as root):
dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source
and select the ice1712 driver.

Hi.
Today I relased a new version of ZynAddSubFX.
News: - corrected a bug that made ZynAddSubFX to
crash(sometimes) if you disable a part
- wrote Resonance (This produces natural sounds,
listen demo07.ogg from homepage)
- added the BandPass filter
- added the recording feature (as raw files)
- added "New instrument" menuitem
ZynAddSubFX is a free (GPL v.2) software synthesizer.
The homepage is:
http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/
You can download it from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/zynaddsubfx
Hope you like it.
Paul.

Does anyone know of a free software SoundDiver clone?
SoundDiver is an E-magic synth patch editor with a plug in
architecture and support for a huge number of synths. One of my
favorite toys - the Yamaha FS1R - is near impossible to program
without it. Is anyone working on a clone for Linux?

Hi Mark,
No I haven't tried it under Wine, for this reason...
SD needs to authorise itself against the CD periodically.
Precisely what it does during this procedure is anyone's guess.
All I know is that it takes around 3 minutes on my W98 PC. The
machine frezes druing the authorisation and some very very
scary noises come form the HD and CDROM drive.
I remember in the 80s there were once some odd copy protection
schemes that stored key data in illegal sectors on the HD. The
odd behaviour during authorisation make me think of that. I
suspect the chances of authorisation working on a foreign file
system, under an emulator are about 0. I have visions of it
cutting a hole in my HD if I tried it under Linux.

You are a brave man than I. Let me know how you get on.

I saw this book in the library. It's circa was kind of old. Is this
the only version. Or is there a more updated one out there?
If it is the only version written, is the information still
relevent?
Thanks,
Rocco

Percussion is one of the stronger points from our past patchsets so that
won't be a problem. There will probably be an option to choose between mono
and stereo percussion. If we don't get problems with 'phasing' sound with
stereo samples this will give a very impressive sound. Currenty we are
opting for mono and stereo percussion and mono instruments but that might
change. As soon as there is any update or demo material I'll post an email
regarding this to this mailinglist.

All our products are sold below 20 USD (+ creditcard costs) because we thing
products will sell equal or better when everybody is able to afford them.
Since somebody will be hosting the files for this project for us (a strong
linux advocate who works at an ISP) we won't have bandwidth costs for both
the full version and the free version. This means that the 15$ price (+ 3$
creditcard costs) is pretty much fixed right now.

This summer some of us met at the LAD booth at Linuxtag in Karlsruhe,
Germany. Since the participants of this meeting enjoyed it very much, we
discussed about meeting again in spring 2003.
Frank Neumann and I had the idea of asking the
"Zentrum fuer Kunst und Medientechnologie", Karlsruhe/Germany
(Center for Art and Media, http://www.zkm.de)
whether they would be interested in hosting such a meeting. The answer was
positive and so we can invite to a LAD meeting at the
Institut fuer Musik und Akustik (Institute for Music and Acoustics) at ZKM.
The meeting will take place from Friday, 14. March 2003
to Sunday, 16. March 2003.
We intend to have public sessions where we can present Linux audio
applications and give talks and non-public sessions where we can discuss
future audio development.
For further planning the meeting we need a registration for talks/presentations
at the public sessions, including an abstract and, if necessary,
images/screenshots. To estimate the required room, we also need a registration
for the non-public sessions.
Please register talks/presentations until 8. January 2003 (please earlier,
if possible), so that they can be announced in the printed programme of ZKM.
Please register for the non-public sessions until 3. March 2003.
Registrations can be sent to either Frank Neumann or me. Please use the
keywords "ZKM registration" in the subject. We will post the list of
talks/presentations and further information on the meeting from time
to time, so that you can decide about joining this meeting.

Thanks Ross. I'm moving in that same direction. But I must first
say that all my experience with midi has been with SuSE 6.4.
I just upgraded to SuSE 8.0. So (as far as I know) things could
have improved a lot since those days. But since the only programs
I can get to work are ecasound (multi-track recording) and RTSynth
(synthisyser) I'm not going to (at this time) invest time into
sequencing. I've come to the same place as you have (at least in
theory at this time) that I need to _start making music and stop
trying to be an electronic music expert_.
Currently I'm setting up an old 233MHz (32 megs ram) machine as a
dedicated synisyzer (RTSynth). The lack of ram doesn't seem to
effect it's usage. I will (as outlined on this list)
use fvwm2 (window manager) to auto-load RTSynth. Then I'm planning
on sending the line out to the line in of my (main) computer and
record to my ecasound tracks. No sync tracks. No sequencers. My
hope is to start making music (since I've been with linux for
2 years and have not finished one project).
I absolutly plan on getting into sequencing in the future. But I
just want to start making music. And besides, it will be fun to
create a dedicated synisizer that boots right into fvwm2
with everything loaded and ready to go. And I can make use of
machines like this in the future for other musicians
Oh my God, I'm sounding like a linux dude.
