[OT] Portable MP3/mediaplayer (with speech?)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, my old Rockbox enabled MP3-player just broke and I'm looking for a replacement. There are some requirements which make it challenging to find a proper alternative. I need soomething that will be recognised as a simple mass storage USB device, i.e. can be mounted on Linux. I need playback by folder structure, i.e. sorting by folder- and filename. Furthermore some kind of simplistic speech output would be really helpful, since I can't see. Furthermore bookmarks and a proper resume function are required. I used to have a Sandisk Sansa Clip+, which was supported by Rockbox. This player has been discontinued for years. Some players occasionally come up for sale, but I suspect that their life span will be rather limited. What do the joggers or audiobook fans amongst you use? Sorry for the OT, but here, at least, I can guarantee that the device can be adminstered from the right OS. Best wishes and thanks for any tips, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c 'Cause I don't have to feel the heat of the sun To know it's shining on me every day <3 (Britney Spears)

KVR cafe contest at risk

by Will Godfrey

This month we only have 6 entries, and the closing date is the 27th. The guy organising this nearly threw in the towel a few months ago due to low numbers, and he gives up now it's very unlikely it will ever restart. So if you have anything at all up to 3 minutes long that can be remotely described as relating to a colour (or two) please submit it ASAP. This fun contest has run since (at least) the early 2000s and it'd be a crying shame if it ends. -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Any way to exclude devices from a2jmidid?

by Sirjohndfox

Gday, I'm experimenting using a Universal Mackie Controller with Reaper. The reaper extension needs unfettered access to the controllers midi ports so conflicts with a2jmidid. However all my other midi devices need the bridge running. Is there perhaps a way to configure a2jmidid to exclude a certain device, or I am I stuck with unloading and reloading the bridge?

KVR music cafe contest

by Will Godfrey

The current theme is choose a colour. Well I picked two :) https://archive.org/download/BitsAndPieces/2307_folderol_White_Sands_Blue_W… I'm pretty sure I am the *only* person submitting tracks developed on Linux. The contest needs more people joining in and definitely more Linux folk. -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Can't set CPU freuqency

by Will Godfrey

I've been gifted an ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) G750JX laptop but am having a problem with it. It seem to ignore: sudo /usr/bin/cpufreq-set -r -g performance and instead always runs in ondemand mode. It has a base speed of supposedly 2.4G, but actually runs at 2.3 or less and very occasionally hits' 3.4G, just *after* Xruns. There is nothing in the bios I can find regarding CPU frequency Any suggestions? -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Yoshimi 2.3.0.1

by Will Godfrey

Yes, a bugfix release :( This was a weird one, so far it's only affected one person running on freeBSD - resulting in a crash at startup, hence this release. Even if you're not seeing any problems, it's probably best to update. -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.34 - A Spring'23 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

One third time, Qtractor 0.9.34 (spring'23) is released! Change-log: - Fixed the snap-to-beat of new notes entry on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) due on time signature changes. - Start JACK transport rolling only when metronome Count-in ends. - Fixed an allegedly old and incorrect 0dBfs notch position on MIDI track/buses audio meter sidekicks. - Send/return and Aux-send inserts now show the proper name and the target output bus name on the properties editor title respectively. - Fixed a zero-day blunder that was keeping the real-time process cycle from having the uniform block-size of 64 frames per period; (thus, probably ineffective since v0.9.30). - Multiple MIDI clip tools may now be applied simultaneously, in a single shot, in the following priority order: quantize, transpose, normalize, resize, rescale and timeshift. - Plugin inventory scan now slightly optimized to an allegedly lesser aggressive cache-invalidation algorithm. - Do not send/Preview notes on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) when playback is currently rolling. - Send all pending MIDI Note-Off events when playback stops/shuts-off (and/or the Panic! button is hit). - Fixed the internal MIDI file player queue to the highest resolution possible (PPQN aka ticks-per-beat). - Prepping into the next development cycle (with Qt >= 6.5). Description: 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.

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi there, a second time, The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments, * synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer; * samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer; * drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler; * padthv1 [4] a polyphonic additive synthesizer. Are here released for the (northern) [i]Spring'23[/i] season... All being delivered in dual form, still: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. A (not so) common change-log follows: - Added Loop End Release mode switch: whether to play over the sample loop-end point when entering note-off EG release stage. (applies to samplv1 [2] only) - Make sure the XCB interface is in use when instantiating the LV2 plugin on non-Qt hosts, allowing LV2 X11 UI embedding to work and show up properly. - Prepping into the next development cycle (with Qt >= 6.5).
