I've been playing with Jack Rack recently and of course it's quite old and
not developed much. Is there an alternative way to perform the function
that Jack Rack does that also supports ladspa 2?
Thanks

Hello fellows,
In the tradition of posting music made with linux, this little tune has
been freshly written in musescore tonight (GMT+1) and played directly
with the musescore GM fonts in the embedded fluidsynth library.

Happy listening !

Massive delurk & Hi to all,
I am delighted to announce my first electronic music since 1998.
https://archive.org/details/templeoftime1
Temple of Time is a rhythmic exploration of different tempi & how they
combine rhythmically. It inhabits a sparse sound-world of clicks,
ticks & some drum-like sounds. Temple of Time was created entirely in
Audacity (OS: Debian Stretch), the sounds were generated from multiple
click-tracks with pitches applied. 50 click-tracks & 99 pitches were
used in total, although mostly between 4 & 7 tracks are used at any one
time, bar a brief passage where 13 tracks are crossing over.
In the first track, events don't always happen quickly, which you may
expect at 35 minutes long. It works if you relax & let it happen. The
other 2 tracks are faster changing. Enjoy.
Best wishes,
Gavin.
Greetings,
Just a quick tabulation. Please advise if you know of other synths to be
added to this list. However, please note that I've purposely omitted
general-purpose synthesis environments such as Csound, Pd, RtCmix, or
SuperCollider, all of which include FM synthesis implementations. I have
also omitted non-native solutions, e.g. Airwave-enabled VST instruments.
6PM - Free, open-source. 6-op PM. Cool synth, good sounds. Standalone only.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mv-6pm/
Bazille - Commercial, very unlike the typical DX-oriented FM synths, but
very powerful.
https://www.u-he.com/cms/bazille
Bristol - Free, open-source. 6-op FM. Includes an emulation of the DX7.
Cabbage - Free, open-source. Various FM synths, including 3CarrierFM,
the ChowningCollection, and FM_Clang. Good stuff !
http://cabbageaudio.com/
Dexed - Free, open-source. 6-op FM. Really nice UI, good sound, huge
collection of presets. Btw, I suggest using falkTX's port from his
KXStudio repos.
https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed
Digits - Free, closed-source. A Casio PM emulator, very good sound. Nice
presets, but no GUI for the Linux version.
http://www.extentofthejam.com/
Hexter - Free, open-source. 6-op FM. My favorite. I prefer it over
Dexed, not least because it accepts the sys-ex for my original TX802
patches (Dexed doesn't). Also capable of multi-timbral performance with
the Ghostess host.
http://dssi.sourceforge.net/hexter.html
mda DX10/EPiano - Free, open-source. 4-op FM. Good sound, no GUI, good
presets.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mda-vst/
OxeFMsynth - Free, open-source. 4-op FM. Good sound, easy to program,
good collection of presets.
http://www.oxesoft.com/
Tracktion FM Synth - Commercial. Adds a GUI to the mda DX10.

Best,

I think it was successful then, because as I was listening almost right
away came to mind listening to blues in a club or bar. There were a
couple of songs where I thought that if you added some chatter and
applause you could almost get away with making people think it was a live
recording.
I don't remember if you said, was it tracked live, or did you overdub parts?

Hi fellow LAU's
As some of you may or may not know (or care) AV Linux has been on "pause"
since last spring so hopefully this will explain some of my absence...
I'm very happy (and relieved) to release our Rated Blue band EP on my new
(and very small) Indie label Bandshed Records..
Album cover image:
http://bandshed.net/images/album_art/RatedBlue3WD-320px.png
I've copied and pasted the Album notes below if anyone is interested in
more detail, but first, links:
Stream/Listen: https://soundcloud.com/rated-blue/sets
Download/Purchase: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ratedblue (physical CD's will
also be available in a day or two)
* Coming soon to Spotify, Deezer, iTunes, Amazon etc.
Quoted Album Notes:
'Three Walls Down' is the first EP by 'Rated Blue' a bluesy,
soul-influenced power trio from southwestern Ontario Canada. The EP
collects 7 songs by guitarist and vocalist Glen MacArthur written over a
period of more than 20 years. Three Walls Down is a collaborative effort
with a very unconventional lineup bonded by ties of both family and
friendship, MacArthur's son Connor (only 16 at the time of recording)
contributes focused, powerful drumming with intuition far beyond his years
and longtime friend and musical partner Pete Cox provides trademark
propulsive, inventive, in-the-pocket bass playing as a perfect complement
to the song arrangements. The band is unabashed about celebrating their
early blues and power trio influences citing such revered artists as
Freddie, Albert and B.B. King and classic trio lineups like Cream and The
James Gang as inspiration for their powerful, uncluttered and direct
sound. Contemporary luminaries like Big Sugar, Gov't Mule, The Black Keys
and Gary Clark Jr. also provide inspiration even though many of the songs
on Three Walls Down were written prior to their success.
Proudly self-produced, Three Walls Down betrays a zealous enthusiasm for
classic analog and tube gear and the sonic palette includes naturally
overdriven swampy baritone guitars, warm n' fuzzy bass and thunderous
Zep-approved drums. The DIY ethic was extended even further by using the
Open-Source Ardour workstation software to record the album on a
Linux-based OS that MacArthur himself does development work on. The album
opens with 'Day of the Blues' a joyous warp speed jump blues and switches
gears into the seismic sound and fury of 'Four Months on Tuesday' a slow
blues in 6/8 time. 'Frank Underwood Blues' is a swampy, heavy half-time
shuffle roasting any crooked politician you can think of and 'My Face' is
a minor-key soul ballad with a fiery conclusion that highlights the
improvisational interplay between band members. The title cut 'Three Walls
Down' pushes loudly and proudly into power-trio territory with a visceral
guitar solo and the plaintive 'Understanding' changes things up with it's
itchy reggae verses and soul-influenced choruses. 'Waiting' the final cut
is a unique blend of rootsy country and soul influences and leaves things
on an empathetic and encouraging note for anyone weathering hard times.
Three Walls Down is certainly not just another garden variety blues trio
album, the combination of band chemistry, powerful impassioned playing,
songwriting and authentic, immediate production should set it apart as a
definite album of interest for fans of raw rootsy blues and soul music.
This was recorded with a combination of FLOSS and Commercial Linux
software, my very sincere thanks to all of the hard working developers
here who bring all kinds of amazing Audio software to the Linux platform!
Comments and Critiques are welcomed, thanks for taking time to listen :)
