Hello,
Fittingly, to a current topic, u-he made available today the Repro-1
synth, a Sequential Circuit Pro One emulation, their first emulation to
date. Currently in beta, the Linux version is available for free until
the end of the year. See KVR:
http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=472608
u-he is one of those that supports the Linux platform. They don't have
to, but they do. Their support is dedicated through the KVR u-he forum
and is largely the work of Alexandre Bique whose Git Hub repository
(for other works) is at:
https://github.com/abique
Cheers.
Hi.
I'm just trying here to see if people are reading this list better,
since the Linux Audio Berlin list is very (VERY) quiet.
We still have the regular calendar post in the c-base calendar for a
meeting on the first Wednesday of the month (so next, tomorrow).
Is anyone:
A: reading this?
B: interested in having a meeting tomorrow?
Best regards,
/Daniel
Hi
I've just pushed a little command-line tool, nosuspend, to gihub, which
is meant to protect for suspending the computer while a given program is
running, mostly use is during recording, but other operations comes in
mind as well, like building a kernel while sitting in the kitchen, . .
Maybe it is useful for the one or the other here as well.
This little app works on computers with systemd running, usage is
simple, example:
nosuspend jack_capture -c 2 -p system:capture*
So, simply prefix your app you wont protect with nosuspend when running,
and as long it runs, the computer wont suspend and cant shot down.
Stopping the app will turn anything back to normal.
nosuspend make use of systemd-inhibit, it sets the lock with the UID
root bit set ( high priority), but run the given app in userspace.

Hi, Jeannette--
i'm a little late joining this conversation, but can't help myself.
You've excellent suggestions so far. Still, you might want to listen
the 1st mvt. of Brahm's second symphony and the third mvt. of his
third symphony. None are fugues. The first example has canonical
entrances of the well known "Lullaby" theme. The second, while not
using imitative polyphony at all, is full of independent voices that
are well defined. Brahms was a fantastic orchestrator defended by
Rimsky-Korsakoff, himself. He merely said that we don't run to
Brahm's scores because he had no interest in inventing new
combinations of sound. Still, his sense of mixing, balance, and
definition were infallible.
Some other pieces to consider: Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra
(finale), and Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra (you can
just search for the fugue). Getting away from "B" composers, try Nino
Rota's Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra (1st mvt.) and the second
mvt. of Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms (which opens with a canon in
the winds.)
i hope that helps!
Tom
This is a one-year maintenance release of qmidiarp. A few new little features
have sneaked in and a few bugs have been fixed, both thanks to people filing
tickets!
Nothing else to say, except that the detailed changes are right below ;)
Check it out, have fun!
Best
Frank

qmidiarp-0.6.4 (2016-11-01)
Improvements
o All Modules now have the Note Filter already present in the Arps.
Also, the note range entries can now be set by MIDI learn
o Arp: The octave mode is now defined by independent upper/lower bounds
(feature request #12 by ssj71)
o LFO: New waveform flip button (feature request #11 by MilkMiruku)
o Seq: The output MIDI channel is now a MIDI controllable item. This
allows for instance an LFO to control the Seq MIDI channels for
dispatching sounds within a sequence (feature request #13 by Menno)
Fixed Bugs
o LFO: Offset slider didn't follow drawing and led to jumps on
first use
o LFO: Waveform type switched to custom when muting points (bug #16
reported by MilkMiruku)
o Arp: When using Global Storage "Restore", the restore step was
incorrect

QMidiArp is a MIDI arpeggiator, phrase generator and controller LFO for JACK
and ALSA. It can run multiple synchronized arpeggiators, LFOs and step
sequencers. The modules are also available as LV2 plugins with Qt user
interface. All in all it is a handy live tool.

Hey hey,
sorry to ask this here, but I'm not very familiar with 19th century music,
which is what I'm interested in. I know that this list harbours some
connaisseurs of classical music. :)
I'm looking for symphonies with good examples of independent voices or
counterpunctual techniques. So far I've looked at Beethoven's 9th, Mahler's
1st, Dvorak's 9th and even Mozart's Jpiter symphony. But the wealth of
information online is too much to delve into it without more keywords.
Unfortunately, "symphony" is also well-liked term for a lot of sites dealing
with classical music in general.
So, if someone could suggest more works, or composers, which are famed for
their strong, parallel voices, I'd be very grateful.
If I should try to restrict this research further - or get lost with it
completely -, please let me know as well.
Thank you and
best wishes,
Jeanette

When you need someone, you just turn around and I will be there <3
So, this is something I did using Bitwig Studio in Ubuntu setup with
the KXStudio addons:
https://soundcloud.com/excds/game-of-synthesizers
This was made for the Week 22 challenge of Strength In Numbers:Â https:/
/soundcloud.com/strength_in_numbers/vol22game-of-beats-weekly-beat-
cypher-strength-in-numbers-beats-2016
I focused on sound design, so the arrangement is from a piano midi I
found on the Internet: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwZlCAPqAn0
All sounds are made using Bitwig internals.
Note: One of the rules of the challenge was that you only got three
hours to put your thing together...
Best regards,
/Daniel
