I loaded Jaaa 0.8.4. It appears to only have a analyze mde. Is there a switch to get it to be a signal generator as well. And the user interface doesn't have the output section as shown on the kokkinizita web site. Regards, Mac

Re: [LAU] How to use hdspmixer - Was: RME HDSPe AIO, hdsploader compulsory ?

by francois juigner

Hi Ralf, Things have improved a lot: I'm able to use all my wanted outputs through hdspmixer : phones, SPDIF,AES and analog all work fine. Now i'm left with the task to introduce brutefir in the process. My guess is that it is another story !!! Final word for now : RME HDSPe Aio is well recognized in Alsa to-date, the powerful (thank you Thomas) but not straightforward hdspmixer lacks a good "how to" file somewhere... Thank you all for your help, I will now dig into the bash scripts ! Francois -- francois juigner <francois.juigner(a)bluewin.ch>

Correct, it's impossible to change this. In my demo file the submix view is disabled. Check the submix view and after that you can select the "label" and then use the faders for the submix. It should work for analog, phones and ADAT 1+2, IIRC for S/PDIF too. I never tested AES/EBU. It doesn't work for ADAT 3 to 8 on my machine. Please, a few mails off-list are ok, but when sending a request to a mailing list, it's better to provide the way to solve the issue to the list too. -- "Pull a Homer -- to succeed despite idiocy." - The Simpsons

Re: [LAU] RME HDSPe AIO, hdsploader compulsory ?

by francois bluewin

Hi Harry, Hi Ralf, Thank you for the fast answers. Harry, in fact you did not quite answer question 1 : do I have to use hdsploader ? Put it another way, would the card be recognized if the firmware is not ok? This firmware question is not clear for me : I fear to corrupt the card's windows firmware if I run hdsploader. Maybe that's completely wrong... I agree that using amixer seems to be a horrible way to work, but I could not manage to get anything out of hdspmixer... There is no way to change the routes it loads by default ! clicking on the playback labels doesn't allow to check or uncheck existing boxes. This is why I wonder if there isn't anything wrong with my setup, namely : would the use of hdsploader change hdspmixer's behaviour ?

[ANNOUNCE] jack_autoconnect

by Jannis Achstetter

Hi list, I recently decided to try the following setup: mpd is running on my NAS machine with jack audio outputs and ympd as web interface. The jack server uses the dummy backend but has the netmanager loaded. The problem is that mpd sometimes deletes its jack ports and created a new pair. And since the number and names of the connected net slaves varies, I thought a classic session manager might not fit (admitting that I didn't really try it). So I created a small program that registers as slave without ports but watches for new port registrations. If a pair of out- and input ports matches their regular expressions specified on the command line, they are connected. I used Qt to solve the problem that ports cannot be connected in the same thread that the notification-callback is executed. Using the QueuedConnection, the SLOT (reaction to a SIGNAL event) is executed in the receiver's thread. To solve the challenge I'm using this command now: jack_autoconnect "Music Player Daemon:left" ".*:to_slave_1" "Music Player Daemon:right" ".*:to_slave_2" The system is working pretty well. The music and playlists can be controlled from any device with webbrowser and multiple playout machines connect via NetJack to the NAS. And the synchronization between all of them is just perfect! The code is on github: https://github.com/kripton/jack_autoconnect Comments are welcome :D A big "Thank you!" too everyone who makes all of this possible! Best regards, Jannis

MIDI sysex over Firewire - not supported by Jack MIDI?

by oli_kester

Hello all I'm currently having problems backing up my MIDI devices - namely a Korg ER-1 drum machine. The device sends a MIDI Sysex dump, which I used to be able to receive and record in Qtractor through my M-Audio Audiophile 192 PCI interface. Now though, I've switched to a Firewire interface, the Edirol FA-101 - and the Sysex messages are no longer getting through. I can still send and record normal notes from my gear. The only difference I can see is that the MIDI now comes through JACK MIDI, not ALSA. I gather this is the way most Firewire cards work with Linux. I have tried recording using jack MIDI only, and using a2jmidid to get it through to ALSA. I've even tried this dedicated program, to no avail - http://www.christeck.de/wp/products/simple-sysexxer/ Does JACK MIDI not support sysex at all? Do I have to buy a USB MIDI interface just for my backups? :( Any help appreciated, as always cheers, Oliver

RME HDSPe AIO, hdsploader compulsory ?

by francois juigner

Hi All, I'm new to this list (and to Linux too... although heavily used to old DOS commands) I have fitted this card from a Windows PC into a Lubuntu PC (latest build). It looks as if the card is well recognized ("RME AIO card found" when launching hdspmixer for example), I guess it does not work due to a routing issue. I have 2 questions : 1 - is it compulsory to use hdsploader, even if the card is recognized ? 2 - as there is no Matrix in Alsa as there is in Totalmix under Windows, am I right assuming the only way to do the routing is to use amixer commands like : amixer -c 0 cset numid=5 source,output,0 (my card id is 0 as I deactivated the MB sound card) ? Thank you for the help ! -- francois juigner <francois.juigner(a)bluewin.ch>

Re: [LAU] MIDI sysex over Firewire - not supported by Jack MIDI?

by oli_kester

Right, here's an old MIDI file that I think contains the sysex messages - https://mega.co.nz/#!nJwglSSR!Ox0O47SqHQOnvm2-Z2AU2GKjn2aTBAvivQmyrEETpD0 And here's a copy of the ER-1's MIDI chart - https://mega.co.nz/#!nVQnxYrI!0gxzcXXQbO02k9OXlhkwNNXXORyAQZrJ3cg-RI5w0q8 I just timed the full data dump, and it takes 1:36 to complete. This is every knob and sequence setting over 4x64 patterns, and 20 songs. cheers, Oliver Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2014 20:31:29 +0000 From: Will Godfrey <willgodfrey(a)musically.me.uk> To: linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org Subject: Re: [LAU] MIDI sysex over Firewire - not supported by Jack MIDI?

multiple outputs for drumkv1

by Brent Busby

I was going to send a feature request to Rui Capela author of drumkv1 (and of course, Qtractor!), but I wondered if anyone else would also like this. It'd be nice if drumkv1 supported optional Jack outputs per instrument, selectable with a toggle at the instrument level. The reason is as follows: Normally if you want sampled drums on Linux, you have three main choices. You can go with Hydrogen, which has multiple outputs per instrument, but it's a big thick program with a sequencer that's currently not as powerful as Muse or Seq24 (or just about anything). The plus side: Hydrogen lets you tweak the parameters of your instruments in-program from the GUI, for pitch, ADSR, etc. Or you can create a SoundFont and run FluidSynth. This too has multiple outputs, but you can't do much tweaking at the instrument level once you've created it in Swami and saved it. Your SoundFont pretty much becomes a "rompler" for computers. Or you can run drumkv1...which has more flexibility in changing the sound of your instruments than even Hydrogen, will let you use whatever powerful sequencer you want to drive it...but doesn't do multiple outputs. Doh! Basically, if drumkv1 could create per instrument outputs, you'd have it all. I often like to send drum sounds back to my hardware mixer for more processing in the phsyical world, then record again as another track. Also, the problem with the way Hydrogen does this is that it's either completely on or completely off -- if you turn on the toggle in Hydrogen for instrument outs, every single instrument in your drumset gets its own Jack output whether you want it or not. Also, even the mono samples get a left and a right stereo out. Usually it's overkill, because I'm usually not taking every single output to the mixer for processing. I don't know if having all those outputs on every instrument adds any extra work for the computer or Jack to do, but it does at the very least make Hydrogen show up in QJackCtl with a list of outputs that goes on forever. Usually I just want six or seven at most! It'd be nice if on each instrument in drumkv1 had a toggle that says you'd like to have a Jack output just for that sound. If it's a mono sound, it could be a single mono output. If you want to turn that on for every sound in a 30-instrument drumkit, you could...but you probably won't...so this way it doesn't waste resources giving you more jacks than you're actually needing. I wondered if there were any comments on this. Also, I think I've seen Rui Capela on here before, so he may actually be reading this anyway.

Re: [LAU] Linux-audio-user Digest, Vol 94, Issue 5

by oli_kester

Thanks for trying to help Will. I may be exaggerating slightly - perhaps more like a minute. I'll get back to you later tonight with exact timings, along with a MIDI file from my older backups. I'll get hold of the ER-1's MIDI implementation table too. My knowledge of sysex is next to none, but when you go to start the dump there is a choice between pattern memory, song memory, or all data. I've been trying "All", but I'll see if "Ptn" or "Sng" works. I could live with just keeping pattern data for now I guess. This is the only switchable thing on the device, as far as I can tell. There is a MIDI input filter, but I always have this set to all. cheers, Oliver Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2014 20:31:29 +0000 From: Will Godfrey <willgodfrey(a)musically.me.uk> To: linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org Subject: Re: [LAU] MIDI sysex over Firewire - not supported by Jack MIDI?
