Hi Wise Ones,
I'm trying to set HDMI as the default output in asoundrc.

By trial-and-error (how else to do it?) I find the following
commands generate audio output to a TV connected via HDMI.
aplay -D plughw:CARD=PCH,DEV=7 ~/music/tmh.wav
aplay -D hw:CARD=PCH,DEV=7 ~/music/tmh.wav
I would prefer a setting with dmix, but the following fails:
aplay -D dmix:CARD=PCH,DEV=7
Playing WAVE '/home/jroth/music/tmh.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: set_params:1343: Sample format non available
Available formats:
- S32_LE
Attempting to translate a working example to asoundrc, I find aplay (without -D option) produces
sound output at the TV with the following:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 7
}
However even after restarting firefox, it doesn't play to this
output.
I tried adding a ctl stanza:
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 7
}
This doesn't affect aplay, but firefox doesn't output to
headphones or HDMI with this setting in asoundrc.
I welcome any suggestions to get firefox to default to
the asoundrc setting.
TIA,
Joel

Hello list,
>Any way to tell it once and for all to NOT autoconnect to system:* ?
>FA
In Tembro Git, and all my other programs, I replaced autoconnect with a default-off setting (in the menus) to autoconnect the mixer etc. ports on startup.

I'm trying to recover an old project, and it uses a specific soundfont P51f.sf2
(not PC51f.sf2). I've somehow lost the copy of this I once had and can't seem
to find it online.
Any help most gratefully received.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Mamba v2.3 is released.
It's a virtual MIDI keyboard with some unique features.
Mamba comes with some predefined Key-maps, but you could define your own
to your needs with the integrated key-map editor.
Mamba supports jack-interconnect-ALSA MIDI in and out.
Jack and ALSA connections could be managed within the connection menu.
Every channel use it's own Color to display the played Notes per channel.
Mamba could load and play MIDI files, either by load them over the
integrated file browser or by drag and drop them on the keyboard.
Mamba is as well a 16 Channel MIDI Live Looper, you could record/play
loops in sync or freely.
Mamba have integrated fluidsynth support, so you could easily load your
preferred soundfont, with the integrated file browser or per drag and
drop. With the integrated Fluidsynth GUI you could control all needed
settings for Fluidsynth.

MetalTone is modeled after the renowned BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone(*), a high
gain distortion pedal with an advanced EQ section.
It has standard active EQ controls with a massive 15dB of cut/boost
range for the lows and highs. It also sports a parametric active EQ for
the mids with two controls: the frequency, and the boost/cut amount.
The midfreq parameter has a very wide range, going from 200Hz all the
way to 5kHz. As a result, it's better to think of it simply as a single
highly flexible active EQ, and disregard the idea that it's only for
shaping the mids.

I think it is possible to discuss this manner in a less agitated way.
Ardour has jack autoconnect, Qtractor has autoconnect. In Ardour for the very same usecase, which is even named the same: "Auditioner".
"Contrary to what you may think" this is not a bad comparison because one is a sampler and the others are DAWs. All of them produce sound, all of them have no sound ready when you start a new project.
And Tembro indeed has volume controls. One for the auditioner port and a one for the mixer port, for each instrument.
The individual instrument outputs have no volume controls, and they are not autoconnected.
>NOT connecting should be the default.
I am not against this. But convenience and a quick setup *are* important.
Hello list,
>Any way to tell it once and for all to NOT autoconnect to system:* ?

1) If you start Tembro via NSM there will be no connections made, at all.
2) If you start it standalone it will connect the auditioner port, which is very much intended, and the summing stereo channels. I consider both of these non-proaudio preview options, where you want quick results. The real ports, which are individual instrument outputs, are never auto-connected.
3) That said, to make this behaviour optional, saved in ~/.config and with a command line switch, is already on my todo list. Next release.
I hope this answers the questions.
Yours,
Nils
Ladies and Gentlemen,
this is the first release of Tembro, the all-in-one instrument.
Tembro (which is Esperanto for musical "Timbre") is a virtual software instrument based on samples. All instruments are permanently built-in, there is no option to load your own files. New instruments are only added with new releases, old ones are never removed.
That makes Tembro reliable, predictable, portable and compatible. All projects and all users have the same "instrument" with the same instrument sounds, numbering system, midi controls… ; a solid basis for communication and collaboration.
To indicate this initial release we start with version number 0.5.0. The majority of the envisioned feature set is implemented, but there is still a lot to do. Feedback is very much welcome.
It is released under GPLv3.
You can find all releases as sources here. Also check your distribution
for packages in a few days after this announcement, please.
