I want to play a guitar through Modep LV2 simulators, live. Is it practical to do this through a USB 3 device (like this https://focusrite.com/en/audio-interface/scarlett/scarlett-solo)?
I am currently using a Pisound on a Raspberry Pi 4, and it is working great. But it does use up all the gpio pins and I do not need its MIDI facilities. I would like to be able to use other SBCs, also.
I have used one in the past, over a decade ago, and there was noticeable latency. Have things improved?

Hi
Does anyone know who is in charge of managing planet.linuxaudio.org? I've
always found it a useful site to visit every now and then for some
potential Linux audio news.
However, the site doesn't limit image sizes and recently there has been a
lot of very large images in the feed which really messes up the experience.
Does anyone know who maintains this and/or if it can be remedied in some
way to limit image sizes?
Regards
Gideon
I've pushed the source for guitarix.vst Linux version to github.
guitarix.vst is a VST3 wrapper for guitarix using JUCE.
It allow to load your guitarix presets into the DAW of your choice.
This is still a alpha version, it may contain bugs and/or may change in
the future
for more information visit the project page.

I was feeling rather pious this past weekend, so I put the rainbow strap
on my keytar and wrote this little hymn to celebrate the resonating
universe and the holy FM synthesis.

Composed and produced by Christopher Arndt in February 2023.
Recorded in Ardour 7 on Linux with a Yamaha Reface DX FM synthesizer and
a Kurzweil PC3K into a MIDAS MR18 digital mixer and audio interface.
All sounds from the Reface DX, except bass drum and snares from PC3K.
Sounds used: "Flute DX" and "Organ Slow" by Tom Ansink [1] ,
"RetroChoir" (modified) by Jeremy Mulders [2], "Dulciclone" and "Celesta
C2" by me, "Basic Orch Perc" from PC3K factory presets.
Effects added in the DAW: reverb from "LSP Impulse Reverb Stereo" and
Samplicity M7 "North Church" impulse response and from "DFZitaRev1" [3]
plugin, multi-band EQ and compression on master bus using "ZamAudio
ZaMultiCompX2", and "Calf Saturator".
Inspired by a video from Alex Ball: "Dulcitone 1900 | Blessed are the
music makers" [4]

Good afternoon!
My present Yamaha PSR keyboard has sounds, but only 61 keys, no support
for an expression pedal, and no aftertouch.
I'm thinking about moving entirely to softsynths and replacing it with
one of the following:
Akai Hammer 88 Pro
Arturia KeyLab 88 MKII USB MIDI Keyboard
Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2 USB MIDI Controller
SL88 Studio USB MIDI controller
The keyboard would be sitting in my house, not likely to go on the road.
I'm kind of leaning toward the Arturia but have no experience with any
of them.
Any ideas on how they work with Linux applications like Aeolus,
Rosegarden, Yoshimi, etc?
Thanks.

Good evening!
I seem to recall there was an app to clone hardware synths to
soundfonts. Synthclone, synthklone, synclone? I thought it was a command
line tool. I can't find anything in Debian 11 or KXStudio repositories.
It would methodically send MIDI events to the keyboard and record the
resulting audio. I think it also turned the result into soundfonts, but
could be misremembering things.
I'm considering replacing my little old Yahama PSR-225GM keyboard with a
good MIDI controller, but there are some sounds in it that I like better
than the GM equivalents, plus there are its proprietary Yamaha sounds.
Ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have some sheet music from an old relative of my wife. They are nicely printed
on paper (printing shop) and 105 years old this year. I would like to scan them
and hopefully have them converted to lilypond or xml or whatever is used today.
It seems that MusicXML is the most used today but the best would be lilypond.
Anyone know of such software for Linux? I saw an app for iPhone and Android that
seemed promising but much cooler would be a native Linux program.
Best,

Hi all,
I just have released SoundTracker v1.0.4-pre1. I've decided to make a
feature-freeze at this point, this means that 1.0.4 will have no new
features comparing to this pre-release, only fixes and small
improvements if something will be found inconvenient. So I ask everyone
who has interest in SoundTracker to test this release. Here are main
features of the 1.0.4-pre1 release comparing to 1.0.3:
* General:
- Full-screen mode
- Volume of all samples of an instrument / all samples in the module can
be set to a value, not only gained. Also all samples panning can be
adjusted. These functions can also modify the explicitly given values of
volume / panning of notes in patterns
- Improved compatibility with FastTracker, also MOD files are played
more correctly
- Unused patterns are listed in the Pattern Sequence Editor
- Sampling rate can be specified while saving a sample as WAV
- New module optimizer with many control parameters
* Track Editor:
- Moving notes up / down is implemented
* Sample Editor:
- External programs can be used for samples processing. The interaction
between such a program is described using XML spec, no ST recompiling
required
- The whole sample is drawn after recording
- Exponential / reverse exponential volume fade transients
* Instrument Editor:
- Envelope inversion and shifting is implemented
