Hi there,
I encountered a nice piano learning video including hands and animated
keys, but since it is playing at original speed it is way to fast for
me to learn that song. In case anyone is interested, it's this video
and I think it's rather nicely done (don't hate me for the music :P):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej6MF5KjuOc
I found one way which sort of works (after settings LADSPA_PATH) but it
sounds quite horrible. Is there a better way to do this?

Is there a stretchplayer for video?
Regards,
Philipp
Hi all,
I'm re-posting this issue here since there are more real-time kernel users
here than in other lists/forums and I'm hoping to get attention into this
issue.
In short, when running the RT kernel from Debian Jessie repos
(3.14-2-rt-amd64), the scaling governor cannot be changed and the system
hangs if the cpu temperature reaches the thermal throttling threshold.
More info here:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=117613&p=554270#p554270
Has anyone experienced this issue? Anyone else running that kernel version
from the Debian repos? Any other RT kernels for Debian out there that I
could test?
Thanks!

Is expresscard the slot that can have a firewire interface?
It seems that some of the "rugged", "milspec", (expensive) laptops like
this one still have it:

I was actually looking to see if there were laptops that came with plugs
with a high insertion cycle rating.... but there is no mention of that.

(Sorry for bluntly moving this thread to LAU list for my reply)
Thank you very much for the amazing site. I think this more or less
exactly what this community needs (and maybe the result of you
questionaire from a while back Gabriel?).
One thing I would very much like on the site is a subscription for email
notification on new articles. Would this be possible?
I know you explicitly asked for feedback to go through the forms on the
website, but I figured this might be of interest to others in the LAU
community as well.
Kind regards

Hi everyone
I'd really like to be able to finally use the new and shiny ZynAddSubFX
in Qtractor (latest from source).
I tried the "zynaddsubfx_dssi" but even ghostess could not start it:
⚡ ghostess /usr/lib/dssi/libzynaddsubfx_dssi.so
ghostess: ghostess starting...
ghostess: failed to load plugin library /usr/lib/dssi/libzynaddsubfx_dssi.so
Then I build the full monty using the latest source tar.gz on SF
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/zynaddsubfx/files/latest/download?source=f…>,
because I could not get the git master branch
<https://sourceforge.net/p/zynaddsubfx/code/ci/master/tree/> to compile
(I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with 3.13.0-36-generic).
Now ghostess does load something
⚡ ghostess ~/src/zynaddsubfx-2.4.4/build/src/libzynaddsubfx_dssi.so
ghostess: ghostess starting...
ghostess: instance 0 on channel 0, plugin 0 is
'libzynaddsubfx_dssi/ZASF/inst00'
ghostess: listening using ALSA MIDI
ghostess ready
I get a small window with just a "UI" button ; when clicked, it reveals
a window with a "Send test note" that works! :) Just a sine wave "a" but
still.
There are "bank" & "program" menus, but they don't seem to work.
In Qtractor, I get basically the same thing, without the test sound :/
It seems to be lacking both UI definitions and instruments.
I also tried building Carla and puttin bin/carla.lv2 in my lv2 dir,
carla showed up in qtractor LV2 tab but failed to load with
suil error: Unable to wrap UI type
<http://kxstudio.sf.net/ns/lv2ext/external-ui#Widget> as type
<http://lv2plug.in/ns/extensions/ui#Qt4UI>

How can I link all this together? Wow, I'm on it since early this
morning!? Thanks to anyone who's listening.
Phil
PS - I tried the "zynadd" package (can't find the sources/repo) w/o any luck
PPS - WAIT! I missed the " ZynAddSubFX" entry in the LV2 list! This is
from Carla (I tested it by trying to remove the carla.lv2 dir) ; It does
load (and a song save / qtractor restart yeld no error) only I can't
neither load a new instrument (I cloned the instrument repo
<https://sourceforge.net/p/zynaddsubfx/instruments/ci/master/tree/> and
selected the dir as the default) nor seem to affect the sine sound
playing (I turn the knobs, say ADSR in *edit instrument* and nothing
changes)) so now I don't have ZASF but can see it from where I am :)
Thank you for your patience.

Hi,
QMidiArp 0.5.2 has just seen the light of the day. It brings mainly
two improvements. One is a comeback, that of tempo changes on the fly,
and that now includes also tempo changes of a potential Jack Transport
master. Also the Jack Transport starting position is finally taken into
account, so that QMidiArp should be in sync also when starting the
transport master not at zero.
The second one is Non Session Manager support, mainly thanks to the work done by Roy Vegard Ovesen!
Note that for compiling in NSM support you will now need liblo as dependency.
Enjoy, and enjoy LAC in Graz this year
Frank

New Features
o Tempo changes are again possible while running, both manually or by
a Jack Transport Master
o Jack Transport position is now taken into account when starting,
QMidiArp used to start always at zero
o Muting and sequencer parameter changes can be deferred to pattern
end using a new toolbutton
o Modules in the Global Storage window have mute/defer buttons
o Global Storage location switches can be set to affect only the pattern
o Non Session Manager support with "switch" capability (thanks to
Roy Vegard Ovesen)
General Changes
o NSM support requires liblo development headers (liblo-dev package)
Hello Linux Audio Users and Developers
In less than an our the MOD Duo Kickstarter campaign will go live and so it is with great pleasure that the MOD Team makes the announcement of the desktop versions for our entire software suite.
Some of this software has already been announced in the past but, as part of our Kickstarter campaign, we put the necessary effort to have them running in a regular Linux environment and not just inside the MOD. All instructions in Github were also updated in order to yield working elements when followed.
Most of this software has been under development for almost two years and their history is related to the development of the MOD itself. Being so, they carry some differences in workflow when compared to other LV2 programs and our current effort is being put on correcting those differences.
The softwares are:
MOD Client - run your LV2 plugins using the MOD interface.
https://github.com/portalmod/mod-client
——————————————————————————————————————————
MOD SDK - plugin interface creator
Use this program to create the HTML interface required by the MOD Client. If you don’t create an interface the plugins still work, but their icons will be a tuna fish can with just the ON/OFF button. When you click on the gear symbol on the upper right side of the icon you have access to the Plugin Settings Screen in which all parameters are visible.
The MOD SDK is Python based and can be installed by typing “pip install modsdk”
As the MOD Client, it runs on your browser and requires a mod-workspace folder (or link) in which you place your LV2 bundles.
Just run “modsdk" in your terminal and point your browser to localhost:9000
There is also post on our blog about the SDK: http://portalmod.com/blog/2014/09/the-mod-sdk
——————————————————————————————————————————
LV2BM - tool for analyzing and benchmarking LV2 plugins
Allows to select which URIs to test
Uses minimum, maximum and default control values to run the plugins
Uses several controls combinations in the full test mode
The output shows the JACK load percent
——————————————————————————————————————————
Plugins
- CAPS-LV2
LV2 port of the CAPS suite of LADSPA plugins.
- TAP-LV2 -
LV2 port of the TAP suite of LADSPA plugins.
- Pitch shifters - http://github.com/portalmod/mod-pitchshifter
Capo - up to 7 semitones up pitch shifting
SuperCapo - up to 24 semitones up pitch shifting
Drop - up to 12 semitones down pitch shifting
SuperWhammy - continuous pitch shifting from -12 to 24 semitones
Harmonizer - scale interval generator
- Utilities - https://github.com/portalmod/mod-utilities
Switchbox - A/B box for audio signal routing
SwitchTrigger - 4 excluding channel selector
ToggleSwitch - 4 non-excluding channel selector
Gain (mono and stereo)
Filters (LP, HP and BP) - 1st, 2nd and 3rd order
Two way mono crossover - 1st, 2nd and 3rd order
Three way mono crossover - 1st, 2nd and 3rd order
- Distortions - mathematical simulations of classic distortion circuits
BigMuff
DS-1
Muff Fuzz
- SopoperLooper
LV2 simplified port of the SooperLooper.
All plugins from our repository have the HTML MOD GUI included.
In our Github repository - www.github.com/portalmod - we also have plugins that were forked from the original repositories.
One of our aims is to trigger a dialogue with the developers, deprecate our forks and add the MOD interface to the original plugins but that depends on the developers and creators and shall be discussed in a one-to-one basis.
Wish you all the best
Kind regards
Gianfranco

Ah, the equinox...
Twice a year a cherished planetary alignment checks in on schedule,
once again.
The little rock gets another round from its warmy solar furnax, from
which were forged. The pale blue dot gets yet another round and to no
surprise, another tinier dot gets here around:
Qtractor 0.6.3 (armed hadron beta) is now released!
Release highlights:
* Revamped mixer (un)dockable panels (NEW)
* Plugin preset selection sub-menu (NEW)
* LV2 Time position/transport event support (NEW)
* Constrained plugin multi-instantiation (FIX)
* Automation curve node resolution (FIX)
Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written
in C++ with the Qt4 framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack
Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound
Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a
fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated
to the personal home-studio.
nb. Despite the old Qt4 stance, but still recommended, Qtractor does
build, runs and does it all on Qt5 for quite some time now. However, the
former recommendation prevails as the despicable LV2 plugin GUI
X11/embedding support through libSUIL just does NOT work on modern Qt5.

Change-log:
- Make the mouse-wheel to scroll the plugin list views, when not
hovering a direct-access parameter slider.
- Mixer widget gets (un)dockable Inputs and Outputs panels, also with
their respective title captions.
- Plugin instantiation is now constrained as much to prevent any audio
channel output overriding.
- Existing plugin presets may now be selected right(-click) from plugin
list context-menu (ticket by Harry van Haaren, thanks).
- So-called "painting" over multiple selected event values, while on the
MIDI clip editor view pane below the main piano-roll (eg. note
velocities, controller values, etc.) is now split into two similar
painting modes, whether the sub-menu Edit/Select Mode/Edit Draw is set
on (free-hand) or off (linear).
- Drag-and-copy of plug-in instances across tracks or buses (ie.
cloning) now also copies the direct access parameter setting (ticket by
Holger Marzen, thanks).
- File/Save As... now prompts and suggests an incremental backup name
for existing sessions files.
- Zooming in/out increment is now augmented by whether shift /ctrl
keyboard modifiers are set (on a ticket request by Holger Marzen, thanks).
- LV2 Time position event messages for plugin atom ports that support it
is now being implemented.
- Attempt to break extremely long audio file peak generation on session
close or program exit (as reported by EternalX, thanks again).
- MIDI Controllers Hook and Invert properties are now properly saved for
tracks (after bug report by Nicola Pandini, thanks).
- A segmentation fault when closing with VST plugins open has been
hopefully fixed (after a patch by EternalX, thanks).
- Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved as for
non-blocking i/o, whenever available.
- Automation curve node editing has been slightly improved in regard to
time positioning and resolution.
