Hey everyone!
For a while I was hosting Zyn presets in an effort to create a larger
database. The project did not go too far, but there are some presets there.
As I am going to remove this section from the website next week, I wanted
to make an announcement here so that anyone who wants can get presets for
themselves while they are online.
The link:

Thanks for all authors who have emailed me with their presets.

I've put together some detailed instructions for compiling my favourite
software, Ardour and ZynAddSubFX, on Windows. They are tested and working
on Windows 10 64-bit.
https://github.com/defcronyke/ardour/tree/win64-mingw-msys/mingwhttps://github.com/defcronyke/zynaddsubfx/tree/win64-mingw64-msys2/doc/win6…
It's not easy as neither projects would build on Windows without patching
many files,
but I'm hoping these instructions will help Windows users as well as anyone
who's interested in adding better Windows support to these projects in the
future.
Let me know what you think of them, and if you try them, let me know if
they work for you.
Now enough documenting, it's time to actually use the software!

Jeremy Carter
Hi, I set up my laptop to initiate Calf Plugin (Fluidsynth) and Qjackctl
at login.
When I then login, I get no sound from various apps. The
preferences->Sound->test sound
also produces nothing. Running Totem, just hangs - no output and the
progress bar stays at 0.
I've now disabled Calf and Qjackctl at login and it all works again. Can
anyone explain
what is going on?
Output from aplay -l:
$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC269VC Analog [ALC269VC Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
(this is with it working, but it looked the same when not working)
Thanks,
Bill

Hi everyone,
I just released a set of Yoshimi patches, including some instruments and
patchsets (performance or combin to some hardware users).
You can download them here:
https://freeshell.de/~silvain/software/jg_yoshimi_patches-0.1.tar.bz2
My first ten instruments and 3 patchset! At this point: a HUGE thank you to
Will Godfrey for the tireless and tremendous work he's put into Yoshimi over
the past few years and in particular the efforts he's put into the new
commandline interface over the past few weeks. It's simply amazing! Still a
little rough, but with complete access to all parameters. Will: you're a
jewel! <3
I can only say, that Yoshimi is a treasure trove of sonic possibilities. I've
never seen such humungous and complex oscillator block before.
Enjoy and I'd love some feedback. :)
Best wishes,
Jeanette
Please don't reply off-list. On the list there are several subscribers
who maintain an Ubuntu flavour, that AFAIK by default combines jackdbus
and pulseaudio, they could help you much better than I could do, since
I categorically refuse pulseaudio.

You should mention what pulseaudio version, jackd version etc. you are
using, since "latest version from LAU" is not really useful. Perhaps
mentioning the distro and it's release could be also helpful. I never
used pulseaudio and never ever will use it, I don't have it installed,
so I only could provide a link:

Hi,
today we have published the video of another single of John Option:
Lifestyle obsession.
As usual we published the song under the terms of the Creative Commons
License (CC-BY-SA) and we produced it only with free software:
Ardour, Hydrogen, Jack, Qsynth, CALF, and many other
great free audio software that we used under Debian GNU/Linux.
Here you can listen the single and see the video (made with kdenlive):
https://youtu.be/6gm-3G-ZJmI
As for the previous songs we published in our website[1] the single
recording tracks and the complete Ardour session. All this material is
published under the terms of the Creative Commons license Attribution
Share alike so that anyone can use our tracks to produce a remix of our
song or even a new song that have to be published under the same license.
You can find all about our project here: http://johnoption.org
If you feel like I'd love to read your feedback, because the
encouragement of the people who listen to us and appreciate the
philosophy of our project is the only fuel for us to continue. And if
you like to be updated about our next release, please subscribe to our
YouTube channel or any other social network you like (see link to our

[this message has been sent to the alsa-users ML too]
Hello,
in the last two weeks I've been working on two MIDI related personal
projects.
MidiMemo is an automatic MIDI recorder; the concept is similar to the one
of JACK Timemachine and the autorec feature of Pianoteq: you don't need to
remember to hit record everytime, since it automatically connects to every
available and readable ALSA MIDI port and records every incoming event. New
hardware/software devices are automatically connected too without the need
for user interaction. As soon as MidiMemo receives a midi event it will
start a new "stream", there is a configurable minimum time after which it
will actually remember the stream, otherwise it will be discarded; another
configurable "last event limit" time will allow you to set how much time
MidiMemo will be waiting for new events before closing and saving the
stream. Each stream can be inspected, with a full list of the recorded
events that can be filtered and, eventually, exported to a .MID file, even
with a time conversion.
There are still some bugs (a strange export problem with sysex messages I'm
trying to solve) but it works fine for "normal" playing.
https://github.com/MaurizioB/MidiMemo
MidiGraph is a graph inspector for ALSA sequencer, and it is intended for
developing or debugging purposes. It displays every available client and
port, even those that are not normally listed using aplaymidi/arecordmidi
or QJackCtl, with detailed information about every port (type and
capabilities) and connection.
https://github.com/MaurizioB/MidiGraph
Both of them are written in Python 2.7, and require PyQt4 and pyalsa.
I'm still developing them, there's no setup yet and some bugs and features
still need work.
I hope you will find them useful, and I'd be glad to have some feedback.
Cheers,
MaurizioB

All right, interesting - so downloaded the source code of lightdm in
16.04 to compare the pam config files and they look a lot different.
So I guess lots of work is being done there - what I find interesting
is that the 16.04 version of the lightdm conf does not include
pam_limits.so.
Files are below.
16.10:
#%PAM-1.0
auth requisite pam_nologin.so
auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin
@include common-auth

session optional pam_kwallet5.so auto_start
session required pam_env.so readenv=1
session required pam_env.so readenv=1 user_readenv=1

@include common-password
16.04:

# Block login if they are globally disabled
