I've tried to control the Bristol synth by
ShakeTracker+ASeqView (running as it is explained
in "HOWTO Use MIDI Sequencers With Softsynths")
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, aseqview, shaketracker, alsa-seq or mine :) ?
How can I debug this by myself?
I mean how can I trace the midi data sent?
thanks,
nikodimka

Hi Everybody !
A new version of Cecilia, a graphic user interface for CSound has been
released. If you use CSound, please check the new webpage on sourceforge
http://cecilia.sourceforge.net/
A few bugs have been fixed, and there is a new install for Linux. If you
tried version 2.0.3 and had problems running Cecilia, please check this
new version.

I just installed SuSE 8.0 Professional on a fresh hard disk.
I've been using Mandrake 8.1 successfully since last December. My
sound card is an Ensoniq ES1370. The processor is a 1.8 GHz
Pentium 4 with 512 MB of RAM.
When I play back a recording made under SuSE 8.0 with Broadcast
2000, the playback is at approximately double speed. However, the
pitch is OK. There are some weird artifacts, too, like small bits
are missing. This happens whether I play the WAV file under
Broadcast or with Audacity. Recordings made with Audacity under
SuSE 8.0 play fine, as do recordings made with Broadcast 2000
under Mandrake 8.1.
Broadcast 2000 is set up for 16 bit word length and 44100 KHz
sampling rate.
Has anyone seen this? I don't know what to try next. Aside from
this, I like SuSE better than Mandrake. However, for a variety of
reasons, not least that I am used to it, I'd like to stick with
Broadcast 2000 for recording.
Thanks.

Hey guys,
i'm having a bit of trouble getting my Eidrol Um-1 usb midi interface to
work..
i'm running it along side a vibra128 (snd-ens1371) which is working fine..
i've tried the 'nix-midi how-to and it has given me no luck..
i' ve compiled the usb hub drivers into the kernal, but alsa is in
modules...
i can modprobe the snd-usb-midi and it seems fine.. but its not listed in
/proc/modules
...
i've no idea how to fix it...so any suggestions / help would be muchly
appreciated
+ i've just installed gcc v3.2 and its killed xfs
so xfree86 wont load(can't find font "fixed" on unix:/-xxxx) where xxxx some
port number around the 6 or 7k mark
blaaa
thanks in advanced

I am sure some of you are aware that the ESPS source code (developed at
Entropic before it was acquired by Micro$oft) has been made available to
the public (http://www.speech.kth.se/esps/esps.zip). I am wondering if
anyone has been able to compile the program on Linux. I am especially
interested in xwaves which is still an invaluable tool for speech
processing.

I hope you'll forgive me if I ask a *really* basic question.
I'm running a mix of Debian stable and testing. Kernel 2.4.18. I have
a Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI sound-card. I'm using the OSS kernel
drivers, but working up to switching to Alsa.
I want to get better audio output---partially just for listening but
also because I'm doing more and more recording. I don't do games. So
for audio reproduction it's mainly a matter of DVD playing (opera and
jazz mostly, some rock). I use Xine for DVD playback; I also use
Ogg123 and Xmms for pure audio.
So my very basic question is: how necessary or how advisable is it to
put an amplifier between the audio output jack and the PC speakers?
Has anyone got a recommendation for a good mid-range or mid-price
amplifier that would make a noticeable difference?
Thanks a lot for your time,
Jim
Jim,
I´m using a M-Audio card (Audophile 2496) and a LINN Numerik external DAC for
Audio playback.(in a ReadHat 7.3 box with ALSA drivers) very nice!
It´s very important to have a good source like uncompressed music (or a good compression like flac or someting), good Soundcard, DAC is also very important.
If you can get a nice Surround processor you will have a Sdif input, and if you
Connect computer from your Digital out to spdif in, you probably get better result.
And of cause, ordanary PC speaker is not that fun to listen at...
Try to get a pair of used nice speakers, you get more music for less money.
Best regards /Lasse

Hi!
Has anybody tested the Echo Layla 24? I'm searching for an external audio
interface with low latency (for soft synths) and high audio quality (I'm
tired of internal cards, buzzing or making stupid sounds when I'm moving the
mouse or something) and of course it should support Linux.
Layla catched my eye first, because you can also use it in conjunction with a
laptop. That's very handy, although not that important.
Any pros or contras? Or can anybody recommend another device that matches
these criterias?
And whatabout DSP functionality? I read a while ago that there are interfaces
which come with DSP chips. Is that useful? Or are they supported only by very
few programs?
Regards,
Christian
