Hi
I've just implemented Scala support into Mamba (Virtual Midi keyboard
and Midi Live Looper for Jack Audio Connection Kit)
Those interested in microtonal tuning's could load a Scala tuning file
now via drag n' drop or via the file manager. The Keyboard layout will
reflect the tuning ratios of the loaded file.

Hi all,
The 0.7.0 release of QMidiArp now ships with new LV2 plugin UIs based on
the robtk toolkit by Robin Gareus for the first time. The UIs will get
installed in parallel to the original X11 UIs that were still based on
Qt. The new robtk plugin UIs are independent of Qt and do not link to
system-provided libraries whose API changes frequently. For building
them you need some new fellows though: glu, gl, cairo, pango and
pangocairo headers are now required. The cmake or configure script will
tell you.
Note that with the new UIs, arpgeggiator patterns cannot be edited. But,
the provided presets can of course be selected in the LV2 host. If
needed you can add new patterns for the LV2 Arp module manually by
editing the <lv2dir>/qmidiarp_arp.lv2/qmidiarp_arp.ttl file, presets are
at the end of the file. All other modules and functions should work as
before.
Enjoy

Amazing setup! I'm excited for 24ch wrapped into 1 device.

I have some boxes running old OS's (KxStudio 14.04, Ubuntu Studio 16.04
- which never see the internet) so I'm sure one of them, at least, will
support them :)

Hey hey,
I'd like to announce the release of Jeanny's Hits 1.0, a drum sample pack:
http://juliencoder.de/sound/jeannys_hits-1.0.zip
The sounds cover a variety of genres and needs, and certainly pack a punch. :)
The samples are sourced from Csound (Lawn kick 1/2, Lawn snare 1/2 and more)
as well as from analogue hardware instruments, including the Behringer RD-8
(analogue Roland TR-808 clone), the semi-modular Behringer Neutron and Aurturia
MiniBrute 2S as well as the Dave Smith Instruments (Sequential Circuits)
Prophet-12. the most extensively sampled is the RD-8 with different settings,
including a tuned kick over one octave. No digital post processing on that!
The samples are stored as WAV files, stereo, 16BIT, 48kHz and come with SFZ
wrappers to be easily loaded into many samplers. Almost all samples come with
round robin and/or velocity layers.
The analogue sounds were mostly edited within Csound and Nama using a mix of
LADSPA plugins.
Any donations are very much appreciated, if you can afford it and think the
collection is worth it. Find details on that in DONATION .
More info on sound groups (kits) and the simple SFZ files you can find in the
README file.
The pack is released under the GPL version 3, which should allow you to use it
within many different productions under a variety of commercial and
non-commercial licenses.
Best wishes and enjoy,
Jeanette

I have 2 ECHO Audiofire12 units.
They are in pristine condition and I just have no use for them. Linux audio
still supports firewire (I think), so they may be of use to someone.
If anyone is interested, you pay the shipping and duty. They are in the USA.
Admins: Feel free to remove this if it breaks the rules.

Hi,
I'm struggling with my jack setup again. I am running Devuan Chimaera
and the MB has a builtin sound chip (ALC887)
which works using just ALSA. I had an Audigy sound card, and Jack worked
OK with that. Longer term, I'll by using
a UDAC8 USB sound module, but it's not here at present, and I expected
to be able to simply switch the Jack output
device from the Audigy to the ALC877. I can play a test file through
ALSA (aplay test1.wav) which is OK, though
a bit low volume, but when I reconfigure jack to use it, I don;t get any
system output on QJackCtl, and jack-play
gives no sound, not surprising if there's no port to connect to.
Last resort is to put the Audigy card back in for now.

Hello all,
Since four days now, the melody I try to reproduce below is
haunting my brain. Don't know how i picked it up.
It's a popular classical piece which I have heard many times,
from the romantic period and as I remember it, for string
orchestra.
But I can't find out what it is. Tried some of the 'find a
melody' sites, no succes.
6/8 (or maybe 3/4)
- = continuation of previous note by 1/8
| A-- G#-- | A---- B | C-- B-- | Bb----- |
| Bb-- A-- | G----- | F-- G Bb A | Bb----- |
Can anyone identify this ??
Many thanks !

This sounds a bit like humdrum, a short of MusicXML alternative used by
musicologists to do statistical analysis of compositions.

Having sorted out my previous problem with Jack, I've got round to
trying to sort out the multi-channel outputs
via a MiniDSP UDAC-8. This is an 8-channel USB output device. I plugged
it in and it shows up with 'aplay -':
---------------------------------

------------------------------
Going into QjackCtl and changing the output device to hw:UDAC8 and it
seems to work - jack restarts and the Graph
window now shows system with 8 playback channels. I then tried using
jack-play to play a short test .wav file
which works fine on the ALC877 but fails with the UDAC-8:
------------------------------------------
Cannot read socket fd = 8 err = Success
Cannot open jack-play-3712 client
CheckRes error
JackSocketClientChannel read fail
JackShmReadWritePtr1::~JackShmReadWritePtr1 - Init not done for -1,
skipping unlock
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for -1,
skipping unlock
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for -1,
skipping unlock
jack_client_open() failed: jack-play-3712
-------------------------------------------
I then tried using just alsa
aplay -D plughw:UDAC8
which works, while
aplay -D hw:UDAC8
fails with:
------------------------------
Playing WAVE 'test1.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz,
Stereo
aplay: set_params:1349: Channels count non available
------------------------------
qjackctl only allows devices with hw:* and not plughw:* so that could be
something, though I don't
understand the internals of jack and alsa.
Anyone able to set me right and get this to work will win my undying
gratitude!
Bill
