ZynAddSubFX is a opensource software synthesizer for
Linux.
It is available at :
http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net
or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/zynaddsubfx
News:
1.0.3 - small bugfixes: "Bypass Global Filter" from
ADnoteUI dissapears sometimes ;
removed the low amplitude noise produced by the
reverb;
if you "acconect" zynaddsubfx with aseqview no note
was processed a long time.
- added Notch Filter
- added the option to randomize the ressonance
function
- added VU-Meter
- Change the Insertion effect modes behaves (it
sounds a bit louder)
- Added to the project an external program
called Spliter that splits the
keyboard and alows you to play two instruments same
time. You can use this
program with ZynAddSubFX or any other synthesizer.
- Added a new function to OscilGen
Paul.

Hi,
I'm trying to get my digital output (SPDIFF) to work. I have a Creative
SB Audigy. I managed to get the digital output to work with the OpenSource
emu10k1 drivers at sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1/),
but I'm trying to switch to ALSA drivers, because the documentation with
mplayer suggested switching to them for AC3 passthrough functionality.
So, I built the ALSA stuff from CVS, and got the analog part to work fine.
However, the digital output is not working... Tweaking with the alsamixer
settings does not seem to help.
Currently, the XMMS output plugins I've tried to use are both Esound Output
Plugin 1.2.7 and the OSS Driver 1.2.7 (the former of which worked fine to
produce the digital output with the emu10k1 driver).
Does anyone have any idea how to get this working?
This is the sound portion of lsmod:

Jon/Mike -
Greetings! I'm new to the list and a gentoo user. I've been playing with ebuilds. I made one for jack-cvs and, which I'll email it to you, and to anyone else who wants. I'm working on some others so if you find a place to throw them up I'd be happy to contribute.

A number of people using the Rosegarden sequencer for MIDI (myself
included) are principally using it to drive ALSA soft synths such
as iiwusynth or timidity. Unlike (say) MusE, which allows you to
start and stop soft synths from the sequencer itself, Rosegarden
treats soft synths just like any other MIDI device: it knows
nothing special about them except the name that ALSA returns.
It's the user's responsibility to start and stop synths and ensure
that the right patches and so forth are available.
This makes for quite a bit of flexibility, but means that the
average user who runs a small number of synths but changes the
patch sets (soundfonts or whatever) frequently has a little bit
of a management problem in ensuring that the correct setup for a
given composition is always available.
What I imagine would be useful is a generic probably-GUI-driven app
that simply starts and stops soft synths, particularly synths that
are driven using the ALSA MIDI API, that output to JACK, and that
might not have GUIs of their own (admittedly the only one of those
I can think of right now is iiwusynth, but I'm sure there are others
and even if you only use iiwusynth you could have any number of
different soundfont configurations). As well as starting and
stopping synths on command, it might be able to store and recall a
selection of multi-synth studio setups of the user's design. It'd
be particularly neat if the soft-synth manager could itself be
driven remotely through some sort of MIDI control event.
Is there such a thing as this? (Anyone feel like writing one?) Is
there any other way of arranging synths and suchlike so that this
sort of application is not actually necessary, assuming that we want
to maintain the current arrangement where Rosegarden does not take
responsibility for running the synths itself?

Hi guys,
I just thought I would mention, in case someone missed it. There are
some kind people who have started supplying RPMS for common applications
for various distributions.
PlanetCCRMA (http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/) being
the most well known I think (PlanetCCRMA is for Redhat though).
Now there are a few places for Mandrake users to go:
- http://rpm.nyvalls.se/sound9.0.html - which I have successfully used
to test new versions of both Ardour and MusE.
This site keeps _very_ up to date, keeps many of the applications I'm
interested in right now.
- http://www.esm.rochester.edu/kevine/turnkey/home.html - which I
haven't tried but looks promising.
Scope here is more towards completeness than having the newest of
everything, this is the feeling I get anyway.

Hi.
I have a Yamaha ymf740c and installed 0.9.0rc6 "the debian way." Audio
is working but can someone help me in setting up the mpu401?
Also, is there a doc describing module options? As a fairly newbie
"parm:mpu_port long array (min = 1, max = 8), description "MPU-401 Port."
(from modinfo and from the alsa web site) doesn't have any useful
meaning to me. I found some settings that worked when I installed 0.9.0b12
but I have no idea why they worked, or where I was supposed to find them.
Any help will be appreciated
Hi,
I just got a sblive platinum 5.1. And am trying to get recording
(analog) from the live drive working. I can record fine from the line
and mic on the back and can here stuff coming in on live drive but I
can't for the life of me get it recorded :(.
If anyone has managed could they send me the mixer settings they're
using and the command line to arecord (or whatever program there using
to record).
Thanks
(alsa 0.9rc3, debian sid, 2.4.19 + low latency)

Hello all,
I'm just now putting together my first linux box and need somebody to hold
my hand and walk me through the setup of my sound card. (BTW if there is
already a thread on this that I didn't catch on my quick search of the list
archives, please point me to it.)
I'm currently using a RME 96/8 PAD on a RH8 distro. I installed the alsa
packages available from freshrpms.net. After getting everything installed I
started up alsamixer and the only controls available is a volume control for
the DAC. Please tell me that I'm missing something and that there is much
more control functionality available than just levels for the DAC. Shouldn't
I have at least some sort of controls for the digital IOs and the ADAT? Is
there some sort of fancy config I need to do in /etc/asoundrc? Have I missed
something in configuration of devices, subdevices, some package not
installed etc?
Also, (slightly off topic) this card is very picky about the buffer settings
(i.e. fixed buffersize of 64KBytes). I know what settings work when setting
number of periods and frame size, but how do I work that out when programs
only let you set the buffer size in units of time rather than actual size?
Any help is appreciated.
Reguards,
-Reuben
