Hello everyone!
So I had a holiday in paradise. Meaning: I was surrounded by a very good
friend, loads of vintage equipment and Ardour3. And I am grateful for all
three. So I used a few minutes to record another piece of Bach. It's the B
Minor prelude (once again) played on an ARP Pro Soloist (trumpet) and an ARP
Oddysey. Unfortunately I had to spread my arms to the left and right playing
the piece. So the performance is not as good, as you might wish. Still it was
an experience I loved and so I'm sharing, hoping that a few gear nerds might
get something out of it.

And for the ogg-less (poor bastards :-) )

Processing consists of some high and lowpass filtering, using the GLAME
filters, the TAP stereo echo of the Oddy and the CAPS Plate reverb 2x2 for teh
Pro Soloist.
Any feedback is welcome. I hope you can enjoy it.
Warmly yours
Julien

Greetings,
I have an old track that needs brightened up a bit. It was recorded on a
mixing board cassette deck (I said it was old, didn't I ?), a direct
feed I think, and the sound quality is, shall we say, unlovely.
So how do I deal with such material ? Is an exciter useful in this
scenario ? Or ... ?
Anyone who wants to take a swing at it, here 'tis :

Recorded at a local festival, probably some time in the late 80s.
Best,

I can't find an option to disable MIDI for "Part #:2", it only does
provide channels 1 - 16 and omni, not really an issue, but a problem is,
that the selected channel will not be restored, I need to manually set
it up after each start.
When using "Oversample" the sound seems to be brighter at 48 KHz, than
for other options. Regarding to the highly active filters, I cant make a
valid comparison, maybe it's just randomly.
It does save data inside a folder with an invalid name, but it's started
without options.
[rocketmouse@archlinux 02song.a]$ ls -hAl

Making sound settings isn't easy, the GUI is confusing, but once a sound
is set up, it's amazing.
The settings in ~/.phasex/phasex.cfg edited with an editor will be used.
At the moment I'm willingly making music on a low level, just playing a
little bit with harmonySEQ, so using Phasex isn't a problem, but for
serious work, when I try to make music with as much class as possible,
by my limited abilities, I wouldn't use it yet, version 0.14.
My jackdbus2 says it is 1.9.9.5. (taken from ~/.log/jack/jackdbus.log)
The release notes say "- Add opus support to NetJack2."
jack_control ip netadapter Shows:
celt: Set CELT encoding and number of kBits per channel
(sint:notset:-1:-1)
Am I mistaken in my understanding that the jacknet2 backend is a part of
jackd? Or does setting "celt" actually now set opus? (the jackd manpage
also uses the word celt)

I subscribe to a free service: Jazz on the Tube
<http://www.jazzonthetube.com/> that sends a clip about every day.
Here's an example:
http://www.jazzonthetube.com/videos/count-basie/slow-blues.html
With that inspiration:
GMorgan is a free program which you can download
from Sourceforge. It works well for me using Ubuntu and a Yamaha Motif ES8
keyboard. Probably it runs on other Linux distributions, although
Fedora could not keep time...(I didn't install the correct
graphic driver for Nvidia.)
You don't have to install GMorgan though. Try playing along with this
slow blues in Bb, a YouTube video which is screenscraped from
GMorgan0.58. Get your instrument and open full screen.
(If the Youtube isn't clear enough drop me a note and
I'll send you a link to the original file.
I couldn't resist adding some illustrative accompaniment
tracks. Watch on the left of the screen for pattern changes.

If you like it. let me know and I'll make some more.

Probably well known to most LAU subscribers, but some amazingly
well crafted songs provided over the years with OpenBSD releases.
Great artwork and lyrics too:

I finally got around to zipping up and releasing my chiptune
accompaniment software that I debuted at San Mateo Maker Faire 2012.
It's called Chip-o-Matic and it runs off Pure Data. I figured it'd be
of interest to people on this list. Plus, it comes with a small
document that talks about the history of chiptunes and how they work.
Basically, you load it up in Pure Data, and then you can set the beat
pattern/arpeg speed/tempo, choose the bass note with the lower octave,
play arpeggios with the middle octaves, and play leads with the top
octave.
It can be gotten at http://extentofthejam.com/Chip-o-Matic-1.0.tar.gz
And here's a small thrown-together sample of me noodling with it:
