[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.3.5 - Fall greetings released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

yet again, a new batch the Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments is out: synthv1 [1] polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 [2] polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 [3] drum-kit sampler. as usual, all three are made available in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session, NSM (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support; - a LV2 instrument plugin. as for this release changes: - First attempt on separating the DSP code from UI as runtime objects, effective for the LV2 plugin deploy. - MIDI channel filter switch is now introduced. - Fixed uninstall target make rule. - Mono(phonic) mode switch is now being introduced. - Another minor fix to note-off fast-release. all free and open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. so, here they go again: [1] synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

Creative Music Coding Lab #6 - October 1st at STEIM

by Marije Baalman

Hi all, tomorrow it is time again for Creative Music Coding at STEIM, please join us! First episode of the new season! Calling all ChucK’ers, SuperColliders, Max and PureData patchers, CSounders, Fluxites, Overtoners, and all other tongues of creative coders. We welcome you to attend the fifth edition of the Creative Music Coding lab at STEIM. The CMC lab is an autonomous zone to try out sonic experiments as a group. And an opportunity to leverage the expertise of the group in realizing new artistic tools and processes through the medium of code. Many of the founding members of the group are indeed experts in their favorite languages, but we come from all technical levels of proficiency and enjoy helping one-another out. http://steim.org/event/creative-music-coding-lab-6/ Date: Tuesday, October 1st Time: 19:00 h Venue: Steim, Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134, Amsterdam Entry: Free There will be free coffee and tea to fuel the creativity. Let me know if you plan to attend! sincerely, Marije

sample rate converter?

by Grekim Jennings

In theory there is no limit to the inter-sample peak level. It *could* matter for some technical test signals etc. For normal music signals even 0.5 dB should be enough, and even if it clips you very probably won't notice. Ciao, -- FA Interesting. Well, I would catch any overs anyway when doing the dithering. So, I compiled zresample without a hitch and it worked wonderfully. FYI, in this case the input and output files differed by about 0.01 dB. Thanks for the other suggestions (Hi Peter!).

Integer output formats are clipped, float output is not. Ciao, -- FA Thanks Fons. Do you have a recommendation for how much headroom to leave before the conversion, and if you do clip during the conversion is there any sort of warning? I used to leave around 1.5 dB. The way I used to go about this was to apply all limiting to the 24-bit 48000 kHz track, then SR convert, then normalize (to ~ -0.3 dB) or set a final level, and finally dither/quantize.

sample rate converter?

by Grekim Jennings

Hi, I need to convert 24-bit 48000 .wav to 44100 .wav. What's your go-to converter for this? Quality would be my first consideration, 2nd would be ease of install or build, 3rd would be I have a preference for command line. This would be for off-line use. Thanks! Grekim

small pops during crossfade

by Rusty Perez

Hi folks, I'm performing some edits on an audio track. I have two versions of a track, side by side, and am cross fading between the tracks to produce one good version. But, I'm hearing what sounds like a small pop or click at the fade point. The crossfade is set to be about 0.02 seconds long because this is a rhythm guitar track. Anyway, would longer fades illiminate the sound I'm hearing? I'm wondering if this has to do with the digital domain, samples and stuff, which I don't fully understand. :-) It's quite subtle, and in the mix probably inaudible, but I would like not to have it. Thanks! Rusty

did anyone hear anything new regarding dante protocol support under linux?

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

I guess title says it all... I saw posts from last year that suggest Audiante had no interest in supporting Linux. Has anyone heard of any progress on this one?

FingerPlayServer in Ubuntu

by Hartmut Noack

Hello, FingerPlayMIDI is a very nice App for Android, that turns the touchscreen of a device into a MIDI-Controller with sliders, matrix and pads. http://code.google.com/p/fingerplaymidi I used it without any problem in Fedora 17 using its FingerPlayServer-component on the Linux-Box to connect the stream from the phone. It is a Java-Program, that is supposed to create a port like this: FingerPlayServer v0.8.0 Listening on 127.0.1.1:4444 Waiting for connection from phone.. Phone connected. Set MIDI Device: VirMIDI [hw:3,3,11] As said before, this worked perfectly OK in Fedora 17 but alas! In Ubuntu 13.04 with KXStudio Layer the server starts as expected but there is no port in Alsa-MIDI to be found. The server gets the signals OK and reports no errors. Does someone know, what could have changed in ALSA-MIDI and/or Jack-MIDI that this port from a Java-app is not accepted anymore? best regards HZN

jack firewire + built in audio

by Miguel Negrao

Hi Just wanted to check if there's an official approach to my situation: I have a macbook pro, sometimes I use the built in sound card (jack with alsa backend) and sometimes I use a MOTU soundcard (jack with firewire backend from ffado). I switch from one to other all the time, multiple times per day. I have several issues with that: - For each sound card I need to boot jack with different settings (basically just different backend ). - The names for the connections are different, for alsa they appear as 'system_0', etc. for firewire they are 'firewire_pcm'. - Going from one config to the other I need to stop jack and restart it with the new settings. In OSX to switch from one sound card to another, it's as simple as removing the firewire cable and sound will migrate to the internal sound card, plugging it back again migrates again to firewire ( I had firewire as default). I would like to mimick the OSX behaviour as close as possible. Currently I have a script at startime that checks for the existence of /dev/fw1 and boots with the right parameters [1] Also in supercollider I have to run this code [2] at startup to connect to right inputs/outputs. I was just wondering if there is a simpler solution to this, or if there is some plan to make it easier to switch soundcard with jack in the future ? Would there be any way to monitor firewire appearing and disappearing and running an appropriate script ? thanks, Miguel Negrão [1] The script is written in Haskell: #!/usr/bin/env runhaskell {-# LANGUAGE QuasiQuotes, OverloadedStrings #-} import Shelly import Shelly.Background import Prelude hiding (FilePath) import qualified Data.Text.Lazy as T import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as B import Control.Concurrent import Data.List (isInfixOf, sort) import Text.Shakespeare.Text (lt) import Filesystem.Path.CurrentOS hiding (fromText, (<.>)) import Text.ShellEscape import System.Environment runC x xs = catchany_sh (run x xs) (\_ -> return "x" ) main = shelly.verbosely $ do runC "killall" ["-9", "jackdbus" ] runC "killall" ["-9", "jackd"] runC "killall" ["-9", "qjackctl.real"] fwExists <- test_e "/dev/fw1" echo [lt|Firewire detected: #{show fwExists} |] if fwExists then do run "ffado-test" ["BusReset"] run "sleep" ["5"]; run "sh" ["-c", "qjackctl -s -p firewire" ] else do run "sleep" ["5"]; run "sh" ["-c", "qjackctl -s -p alsa" ] exit 0 [2] var jack_device = if("jack_lsp | grep firewire".systemCmd == 0){ "firewire_pcm" }{ "system" }; "SC_JACK_DEFAULT_INPUTS".setenv(jack_device); "SC_JACK_DEFAULT_OUTPUTS".setenv(jack_device);
