Greetings, Recently I embarrassed myself by making and posting a piece that used material created by another composer (fortunately a friendly one). When notified of the issue I immediately withdrew the piece from circulation and apparently all's well that ends well. However, on reflection I find that I am a very disorganized person who has amassed a huge number of soundfiles over the years. I've tried to keep them organized, but I could really use a file manager dedicated to managing soundfiles. I'd like to click on a file and see the kind of information displayed by sfinfo and similar utilities. I'd also like to see the file's metadata in the same display. Does such a file manager exist ? How do you manage very large collections of soundfiles ? Best, dp

Updates

by Fons Adriaensen

Updates now available at the usual place: <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html> *** Regarding zita-ajbridge: If you experienced unexplained *** and repeating 'Excessive timing errors', this release will *** fix those (unless there really is a problem). * zita-resampler-1.6.0 - Added VResampler::set_phase * zita-dpl1-0.1.0 - Maintenance and small bugfixes. * zita-ajbridge-0.7.0 - Fixed bug in DDL computing timing of Alsa periods. Thanks to Tomasz Kasprzak for the bug report and fix. - Fixed bug in automatic selection of resampler quality. Previous release always used a short filter unless the lenght was explicitly set. * zita-njbridge-0.4.1 - Fixed bug in DDL computing timing of network packets. - The data format 'on the wire' has changed. It should be backwards compatible, but to be sure please use this release on both ends. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)

Life of a zebra, a tune made with Lin...^w DOS !

by Benoît Rouits

Hello, As i recovered an old hard-disk-drive from the 90's (30MB HDD form an i386 DX40) i could reap one of the oldest MIDI files i 'recorded' under DOS (or win31 ?) with an MPU-401 while i was not twenty years old yet. I don't remember which software i used at this time... The midi was not quantisized and needed some polish, so i rewrote it on Musescore tonight after listening carefully to the original. Its name was 'essai3 ' (third try). But i found i could rename it as 'Life of a zebra', just for fun: http://brouits.free.fr/music/various/life_of_a_zebra.ogg I hope you will enjoy this short tune as i had pleasure to rediscover it ;-) Cheers, -- Benoît

Building avplay

by jonetsu

Hello, How is the avplay binary, part of libav, produced at compilation time ? avconv and avprobe are produced and installed, but there's no sign of avplay. configure only have a --disable-avplay option. The make log shows no sign of avplay but shows the compiling of avprobe and avconv. libav is configured simply with: ./configure --enable-shared This is libav-11.8. What is the incantation to have avplay built ? Cheers.

Yoshimi Improvisation / Demo

by Lorenzo Sutton

Dear list, I recently made a video of a demo improvisation with Yoshimi featuring selected sounds from the Will Godfrey Collection. I guess it might be interesting for people on the list. https://youtu.be/kzBy5tnDoBw Lorenzo. PS: Thanks for Will who provided hints about the sounds and very useful suggestions about the video.

Synthfest UK

by Will Godfrey

Somewhat off-topic, but I thought people here might be interested in what the 'other' lot are up to. Last Saturday I was at this event from 11am to about 5:30pm. This is a new event organised by the Sound On Sound magazine. As I've got to know a good number of the people there over the years, I was keen to see them as much as all the gear that was on show. The whole event was heavily analogue orientated. The hardware covered a *huge* range, from a couple of refurbished original 1960s modulars, to the new mini-moog and the latest thing from the likes of Yamaha, Korg, Presonus. One that was especially interesting (to me) was a Eurorack synth, with interchangeable modules, that due to a well thought out back-plane, could be run in a variety of parallel or series configurations without patch cords. There was also quite a lot of novel bespoke kit, especially in the realm of sequencers and trackers. Something I've not come across before was an OSC->CV unit. Combined with the greater stability of modern modulars that promises to be very interesting. There were some very interesting talks. One in particular was on how synths came about... *before* Bob Moog! There were a few names I recognised, but just as many unsung heroes I was totally unaware of. Of the commercial synths I noticed a disappointing trend. While there was a jaw-dropping range of sounds, I found it harder to select these than I do with my old SY35, and I was hitting information overload quite a bit. For me, this was also a problem with the multi-rack modulars. Probably with more time and familiarity I would have managed better, but very little was switch-on-and-play. Another thing was the black theme that seems to be almost universal these days. I think it's fairly well known I don't much like this. However, it dawned on me that on a real item there are subtle position, depth and especially parallax cues that you simply don't get when trying to do the same with a GUI. There didn't seem to be much there by way of software (but then it was a hardware orientated show). What I saw was all Apple based. Interestingly I didn't see *any* tablets. If they were there, they were well hidden! I was pleased to get a few enquires from those that know me as to how I was getting on with Yoshimi, and a couple were very complimentary about Lorenzo's recent demo. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Hi everybody and issue with MIDI

by José San Martín

It's the first time I write to this list. Hi, I'm Kiko from Argentina. I play guitar and try to produce my music with FLOSS. I have a Fishman Tripleplay MIDI controller and I can connect it through ALSA with almost any problem, unless it sounds "flat", all the velocity messages are 64, without dynamics. When I see all the MIDI messages, there are changes in CC30, in channel 8, could be the velocity info that is not routed well. Maybe the VST midiconverter3 from Piz midi plugin collection can rout it to velocity, but I can't load it in linux. Any clue? Thank you all, sorry for my tarzanian english, I do my best.

Looking For Some ZynAddSubFX Powered Tracks

by Mark D. McCurry

Hello there LAU, I'm trying to update the old demos on the ZynAddSubFX site and I thought it would be great to replace the old demos with songs from the LAU community. Can anyone post some links to some of their favorite tracks that make good use of Zyn? Ideally they'd be on something like soundcloud so they could be gathered onto a playlist on the project page, but if not it should be fun to hear what people have been making. --Mark
