todays' track "JingleBee" was also made with Linux:
* Fabla - for drums (fabla808 + fablaHardElectro presets)
* Nekobi - from DISTRHO, LV2 version of nekobee
* Gxts9 - tube screamer emulation from guitarix
* GxZita_rev1 - Zita-rev1 packaged as LV2 by guitarix
the project itself is ~100 lines of "bipscript", can put it online if
there is any interest
Hi Oliver,

This is a very nice project. Although I have used qtractor extensively
in the past, I find myself getting back to seq24 as soon as a quick
workflow is necessary. It is a wonderful program.
Three suggestions :
- I am glad you consider loop coloring (actually the whole GUI would
need to be somewhat modernized and probably made a little bit larger). I
am playing around with my new Novation Launchpad Pro (which works out of
the box under Linux) and configured my .seq24rc to toggle loops from the
launchpad. So it would be nice that seq24 loops get colored: I could
have the colors match.
- Another point in the same vein: Although I can midi control many
aspects of seq24, I could not get the simple Start/Stop functions to be
controlled by a noteon or cc message. The Start and Stop simply does not
appear in the serq24rc file. Seems weird but maybe someone on this list
could tell me if I missed something.
- I thought a 8x8 matrix (instead of the 4x8 main matrix) would be fine
too (guess why...), or at least a configurable option as to the numbers
of rows and columns to be used.
Thank you.

Still no formal announcement. Have we lost this one?

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Thanks to the Debian Perl Team, we now have a recent Nama in
Debian.
It is available through 'sid', the Debian "unstable"
distribution.
So if that's what you're running, you can experiment
with Nama by doing a simple 'apt-get install nama'.
Even, if you're running a different version of Debian,
you can still install Nama by running 'cpanm Audio::Nama'
as an unprivileged user, which will install Nama and
its dependencies under $HOME/perl5. In that case,
you may need to run 'perl -Mlocal::lib >> .bashrc'
to setup your environment.
About Nama
Nama is a digital audio workstation. It is suitable for
multitrack recording, effects-processing, editing, mixing,
and other audio tasks. Nama uses Ecasound, developed by Kai
Vehmanen, for audio processing. Nama hosts LADSPA and LV2
plugins, Ecasound effects and controllers. It works well
under JACK and ALSA.

Hi,
First, Happy New Year to all LAU's and LAD's!!
It came to my attention that the Hydrogen kits released in the recent AVL
Drumkits 1.0 were not compatible with versions of Hydrogen older than the
current 0.9.7 which isn't in most distros yet. This has been fixed and the
kit names have been shortened to better appear in hydrogen pattern editor
panel.

Libre Music Production in keeping with it's usual super high standard of
awesomeness and attention to detail has posted a mini-guide to using the
AVL Midnam files in Ardour.

This is with:

00:06:48 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
This was Ubuntu Studio 15.10, with pulse removed and KXStudio packages
added.
I have an AMD APU, and its connected to a HDMI processor (actually an
Audiolab 8200AP).
james@audio:~$ lspci | grep -i audio

So, we have the audio device. But ALSA does not seem to see it.

ie just a runt SPDIF, no PCMs.
I think I've turned radeon audio on appropriately:
james@audio:/etc/modprobe.d$ pwd
/etc/modprobe.d
james@audio:/etc/modprobe.d$ cat radeon.conf
options radeon audio=1
In dmesg I see this:

I have rebooted, and restarted the Audiolab since I plugged in the HDMI
cable.
And the ELD info seems sane:

james@audio:/proc$
Any idea how to tell what's going on - ?
The slight weirdness is that the system is connected to the Audiolab
over HDMI, but I don't have an HDMI monitor - and in fact I access the
system via putty or XRDP.
Hey hey everyone,
does a loaded engine in LinuxSampler, which is idle, consume CPU time?
An example: if I have about half a dozen SFZ and half a dozen GIG engines
loaded without sounds, could that impede my system's performance? I've got a
3gHz quad core. Memory shouldn't be an issue in this case.
Thanks for any help.

Hello there and again,
This time getting ready for the NYE. Prepare to party, the countdown has
begun... but first, let there be just one cheesier announcement ;o)
Qtractor 0.7.3 (a tackier gluon) is released!
Everyone is strongly invited to upgrade. No excuses.
Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application
written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux,
where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main
infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio
workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.
Change-log (since last cheesy release):
- Slight increase on the number of decimal digits for the plugin
parameters while on the generic plugin properties dialog. Also applied
to automation curve node value editing.
- Unlimited slack is now in effect on editing over and beyond the
current session or clip contents length, on both the main tracks and
MIDI clip editor (piano-roll) views.
- Ctrl+click and dragging the left or right edges of a clip will now
make it spill over and replicate as many clip clones as it fits in the
left or right horizontal extent.
- Added View/Note Type and Value Type command menus to the MIDI clip
editor (aka. piano-roll) which opens the possibility for discrete
shortcuts to switching views eg. Note Velocity and Controller views
(after a kind request by yubatake, thanks).
- Fixed the conversion and/or override of MIDI clip offsets when moving
and copy/pasting across tempo/time-signature changes.
- Fixed MIDI file track/channel duration estimator, which was giving
quite wrong and way too short reads.
- Fixed a drag-and-drop bug over the main tracks view, when new tracks
were being inserted at the top and not to the bottom as is normally
indicated by the floating visual placeholder.
- Fixed LV2UI_Resize handle from extension_data(LV2_UI__resize), now
passing LV2UI_Handle in first argument to ui_resize(), as found correct
and needed for resizable/scaleable LV2 UI's, most specially to ssj71's
so called Infamous Plugins, thanks.

Hi,
Just wanted pass along an update the the AVL Drumkits which are now at 1.0.
Updates:
-Red Zep Kits get an improved Kick drum.
-All Kits gain a large 3rd Crash Cymbal on Key 60 (sampled from a Paiste
2002 22" crash).
This cymbal has a very distinctive dark tone and is a nice contrast to
the other crashes.
-All Kits gain a Maraca on Key 64 for percussion (sampled from actual
maracas not an egg shaker).
-All new hand percussion kit. This is for use with acoustic instruments
and includes Cajon,
Woodblock, Claves, Tambourine, Maraca, Handclaps and Fingersnaps.
NOTE! This is not percussion in the Afro-Cuban sense at all..
-Midnam files are now included for use with Ardour/Mixbus and any other
DAWs which support loading of midnam files.
-Updates are reflected in a Keymap PDF File.
Format Changes:
-Removed Soundfont2 versions, I don't think all of the SFZ formatting was
being incorporated into the Soundfonts correctly and the SFZ's sound
discernibly better, also I have limited time!
-Removed sf2/sfz Debian packages, I'm not convinced installing any Sound
libraries system-wide is really that useful, they seem to be better suited
to user's home folders or other drives with full user permissions.
