Optical microphone sees sound like never before

by David W. Jones

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/06/220622101415.htm If sound can be seen optically, can it be generated optically? Say, to go with a hologram? --- David W.

[music] Hermann's mill

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, Here's Hermann's mill: https://youtu.be/1-HH60SABUk OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ft63mul5qey7isz/hermanns_mill.ogg First a big thanks to Fons for Aeolus and helping me with a preset file to change stops via MIDI. The inspiration for this was Philip Glass Music with changing parts. I'm not into minimal music, I don't have the patience or ability for the kind of trance. So I always waited for the "drop". I was always smitten though by the beginning of the piece. So working from that, I came up with hHermann's mill. The name is actually a bad musician's joke. :( At some point I use a chord progression collectively known as an omnibus. This particular one has a German name "Devil's mill". So I picked one devil that I could think of. It's definitely mr Meyer, whose Guitarix plugins I very much love! Other instruments used: Yoshimi for the synthesized organ, LinuxSampler for the trumpets and hardware: Behringer Neutron and Arturia Minibrute 2 for the synth basses and leads. Cool your heels in the dark of the cave and enjoy! :) Best wishes, 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 But now I'm stronger than yesterday <3 (Britney Spears)

Multichannel analog I/O audio interface: experiences and tips

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, my two old Delta 1010 cards are definitely dying now. So I need replacement for all those analog I/Os. I have found three candidates: Behringer X Air XR18, Presonus ARC16C and Tascam u16x08(?) and would be glad if anyone could share experiences with them under Linux. I'm also looking for further alternatives (see my minimum requirements below). I definitely need multichannel audio coming from the device. The Tascan appears to have many microphone inputs, which cannot serve for line level input, if that really is so, it's out. The Behringer requires the app, which I have not been able to test, but its accessibility is not that important, if the XR18 will remember settings across power cycles. The ARC16C's description reads very well, but there are many dubious reviews, perhaps it was an early "Monday" manufacturing problem though. My requirements: one mic in (no need for +48V phantom power), one instrument in (Clavinet, I think it needs extra amping), at least 12 line level ins, 14 preferred. Four outputs (main out and to "sends" to outboard). No DSP, routing/bussing,... My workflow is purely centred in the box, using JACK for all connections. Based on the three candidates, I'd say my price range has to go up to 700 EUR. Any experiences and further suggestions are very much appreciated!

USB Compliant MIDI

by Bob van der Poel

I'm looking at the Casio WK 6600 keyboard and see that the old fashioned MIDI connectors are replaced with a USB - B connector. Can anyone answer: 1. These connections are okay to connect my linux desktop computer to the keyboard using a standard USB A-B cable? 2. How long can the MIDI cable be? I suppose if it's too short I could always insert an extension cable? 3. Could I use a real MIDI cable from the computer and convert that to USB? Thanks! -- **** Listen to my FREE CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca

temporary jackd in tmux window

by Mario Lang

Hi. This is just too cool to not share it immediately. For tmux users wanting to be able to peak at the output of their autostarted jackd, put this in ~/.jackdrc: /usr/bin/tmux new-window -d -n jackd "jackd --temporary -d alsa -P -p 264 -d hw:sofhdadsp; tmux wait-for -S jackd" ; wait-for jackd Whenever a client starts the server, it will run in a separate window. The wait-for is there to avoid returning immediately, which would confuse the client. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕
