[linux-audio-user] SoundDiver Clone?

by Aidan Mark Humphreys

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? A.

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. >Have you tried running Sound Diver under Wine? It's on my to do >list You are a brave man than I. Let me know how you get on.

Re: [linux-audio-user] So confused, need some good documents aboutsound in linux!

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?

RE: [linux-audio-user] Big professional tiMIDIty patchset.. Any interrest ?

by Roel de Wit

Hi Mark, > I would very much like a high-quality GM device for Linux. I'd probably > use TiMidity to get that. > I'd also like some really great drum sets also. 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. > Bottom line - If the price is low, I'd buy them just to support you. If > the price goes up, then I'd have to look at the quality carefully. I've only > used sound fonts on the Windows platform and I've been pretty disappointed > with the quality. In fact, bad sound fonts drove me to GigaStudio, which I > now love, so you'll get compared to that platform. 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. --- Roel / Utopia Sound Division http://www.utopiasd.com

[linux-audio-user] LAD Meeting at ZKM, Karlsruhe/Germany 14.-16. March 2003

by Dr. Matthias Nagorni

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.

Re: [linux-audio-user] Any MIDI apps that don't suck?

I've seen it in a number of friends too. > It doesn't seem like coincidence. >Ross Vandegrift >ross(a)willow.seitz.com 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.

[linux-audio-user] Playback slow from burned CD's

by patrick reardon

hello everyone, i don't know if this is the right forum for my question, but here goes. i'm running on Intel PIII with kernel 2.4.18, ALSA, and a Hammerfall 9632 card. CD quality WAV files recorded with ALSA from live performances play back with no problem via "aplay". a Yamaha CRW8424S scsi burner was recently installed and i burned the WAV files to CD with both "cdrecord" and "cdrdao". data is actually transferred but when i play the CD's with a CD player, the tunes are too slow and too low by about a minor third. i tried burning at various speeds from 1x to 8x, but always the same problem. have also tried a variety of other options to "cdrecord," like using a really big buffer, etc. the commands "file" and "aplay" give the following information: --------snip----------- $ file blues1.wav blues1.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz $ aplay blues1.wav Playing WAVE 'blues1.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo --------snip----------- i wrote to Jorg Schilling who developed "cdrecord", but he only said i need to use 44100 Hz data and that if ALSA wrote incorrect headers, i should write the ALSA group instead. i doubt it's a problem with ALSA. at any rate, i'm out of ideas. has anyone experienced a similar problem? any pointers would be greatly appreciated. tia, patrick
