Sweep 0.5.7 Development Release
-------------------------------
Sweep is a sound wave editor, and it is now also generally useful as a
flexible recording and playback tool. Inside lives a pesky little virtual
stylus called Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files.
This development release is available as a source tarball at:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.5.7.tar.gz?download
This version includes support for Ogg Vorbis import and export, including
both variable and average bitrate encoding modes. There are many other
user interface updates, including new input controls for sample rates and
channels.
There is a new Screenshot tour of Sweep, introducing effects filters,
Ogg Vorbis encoding dialogs, and colour schemes:

Sweep is designed to be intuitive and to give you full control. It includes
almost everything you would expect in a sound editor, and then some:
* precise, vinyl like scrubbing
* looped, reverse, and pitch-controlled playback
* playback mixing of unlimited independent tracks
* looped and reverse recording
* internationalisation
* multichannel and 32 bit floating point file support
* LADSPA 1.1 effects support
* multiple views, discontinuous selections
* easy keybindings, mouse wheel zooming
* unlimited undo/redo with fully revertible edit history
* multithreaded background processing
* shaded peak/mean waveform rendering, multiple colour schemes
Sweep is Free Software, available under the GNU General Public License.

Thanks to Pixar Animation Studios and CSIRO Australia for supporting the
development of this project.
enjoy :)

Yes, although as someone else points out, so can any sequencer that
uses ALSA to drive its MIDI devices. I use only softsynths on this
machine (a laptop with no hardware MIDI support) and they work
very well.
Rosegarden-4 is probably the nearest thing you'll find to Cubase on
Linux now. I say that with some confidence even though it's not at all
close to Cubase in professionalism or scope, just because there are so
few other music applications on Linux that are designed to be quite so
general-purpose and immediately effective. It's not entirely stable or
feature-complete yet and we take a somewhat good-enough attitude
to latency and performance issues in a way that's entirely suitable for
a home musician but not for studio-quality use. But it's entirely
possible already to make real music with it, and we'd love more
constructive feedback from people who are trying to do that.
Rosegarden-4 does quality MIDI sequencing and editing, multi-track
audio via JACK with LADSPA plugins (this stuff is fairly new in RG, could
use some knowledgeable testers), and good score editing. We've
been demoing it at the London Linux Expo yesterday and today and
despite the odd crash we've had (I think) pretty productive results.
And of course made a lot of noise, most of it rather unattractive.
Hey ho.

Greetings:
I've downloaded the Fluid soundfont but am unsure how to unarchive it.
The file in question is named "FluidR3 GM.sfArk" which implies some sort
of archived filetype I don't know about. Can someone tell me what
utility I'll need to unarc it ? TIA !

Hi,
I have an HP 7965 desktop dual-booting between XP and RH Linux 8.0.
The standard installation did not get the sound card working, and
every time I tried to use XMMS, an error message would pop up saying
that the sound card could not be contacted.
I installed the ALSA driver, library, and utilities as per the
instructions at
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Analog%2…
and then used insmod to load them, also as per the instructions at
that page.
Now xmms and the system seem to recognize the module and the sound
card-I don't get any error messages-but I don't get any sound. I
used alsamixer to unmute the system, but I still get nothing. It
works fine in XP, so I don't know what the problem would be. Here is
the relevant output from vi /proc/ioports:

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to look into the new RME
HDSP 9652 card that has started shipping.
http://www.rme-audio.de/english/hdsp/hdsp9652.htm
Will this require new driver development, or is it by chance compatible
with some other RME device that is already supported under Linux?
Thanks,
Mark
sorry for this spam, the filters are not yet what they used to be..
in any case, please DO NOT reply to spam, unless you want them to know
your email is active, and of course do not reply to the list :-D
regards,
jörn
btw: this new bugbear worm seems to be very clever in forging sender and
mail bodies. don't be surprised if one of your list postings surfaces
elsewhere with a slighly bogus sender and a virus attached. and don't
raise hell on the lists :)
for now, i have bugbear posts trapped in the filters, but that thing
seems to be evolving like linux audio, so please forgive if some make it
through to the lists.

Hello all,
I have just released v0.4.0 of the seq24 midi sequencer.
This release adds A performance editor
http://www.filter24.org/seq24/
New screen shots are up too..
cheers,

I've tried to control the Bristol synth by
ShakeTracker+ASeqView (running as it is explained
in "HOWTO Use MIDI Sequencers With Softsynths")
I run bristol with "-midi seq" option.
It works in principle...
But I got the following strange behavior:
the tones the Bristol produces are one note late of what must be done.
But the timing is correct.
I mean if I write in Saketracker:
===
E#
C#
..
F#
E#
==
In Bristol it is played like:
==
..
E#
..
C#
F#
==
So the questions are:
Who's fault this is? Bristol's, aseqview's, shaketracker's, alsa-seq's or mine :) ?
How can I debug this by myself?
I mean how can I trace the midi data sent?
thanks,
nikodimka

Okay, this was really weird. This message was resent to the list and who
knows who else from "Taybin Rutkin <trutkin(a)wsws.org>". Um, I've never
had that email address. The website is for the World Socialist Web Site.
So I have no idea what's going on, but it's making me paranoid.
It'd also be nice if it didn't repost lame jokes of mine.
