Hey hey, here's a new piece, an upbeat electro track, which is not exactly EDM: https://youtu.be/g6u2bsV7KfA direct OGG download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ttga6839e9k9ch/uphill.ogg This is the piece I first recorded for the Loopop Mega contest and then put aside for being too obvious. :) In Linux it was realised with LinuxSampler, thankfully all samples were provided as SFZ instruments. The piece has a very easy-going b-section and otherwise a colourful mix of different sounds from all sorts of different technology, digital to hybrid to analogue, desktop to keyboard to eurorack. I enjoy seeing such different sources playing so well together, growing into one monolythic arrangement.

New software instrument: handpan

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, this is a physically modelled handpan, designed for live MIDI playing. It's written in Csound. http://juliencoder.de/sound/handpan-1.0.zip It's tested with Csound 6.16, but should work with 6.15, maybe even 6.14. As it comes it's configured for ALSA audio output and ALSA sequencer input. All choices for audio and MIDI I/O are listed at the top. Also you can create any equally tempered scale you like. There are two example scales in the file. Only one can ever be active. If you play notes on the keyboard that are no in the scale you will strike the resonator, i.e. any part of the instrument that isn't a clean note. This instrument has been roughly modelled on a Rav drum, which I had the pleasure to play, including the stereo spread of the notes. I hope someone finds a use for it.

[Music] The queen's fugue

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, this is a three (or four?) part fugue, which I wrote for synthesizers: https://youtu.be/cIF0JocnaDA OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2kz8sb873rwsl3a/queens_fugue.ogg It is a proper expansion of the "fughetta" inside "The queen is dead": https://youtu.be/otTwVsenZ0I This time I did not use the samples supplied by Loopop for his "Mega contest", but my own hardware synthesizers. The main voice is the Waldorf Microwave Xt, a hommage to the Waldorf M (wavetable synthesizer) sound used in the original piece. The rest is all analogue, exploring both east and west coast synthesis. Again, there is a lot of automation inside the DAW to make the piece come alive. The fourth voice is introduced towards the second half of the piece and is actually a variation on the leading motif shifted somewhat in time. I think this is called closed voicing, though I may be mistaken. :) I hope you enjoy it, whichever techniques or instruments are involved.

Current Developments in Linux Audio ?

by nik＠parkellipsen.de

Hi, I've basically been using the same configuration (Arch/ALSA/Jack2) for years now and it's stable and everything, but I feel like I've been living under a rock when it comes to Linux Audio developments, so I thought I'd reach out and ask if there's any current developments that I should follow or toy around with ... Best, Niklas

Pipewire, jack-midi, alsa-midi, rendering, freewheeling etc.

by Lorenzo Sutton

As there are interesting discussions about pipewire. I'll go with a somewhat open question. I'm wondering how will 'MIDI' work and especially if an how will alsa-midi applications be able to happily and collaboratively :-) work with jack-midi ones (currently provided by a2j), potentially with some improvement? Would it facilitate the vision, which I tried to discuss sometimes on this list, about being able to interconnect 'any' midi application on Linux _and_ facilitate the faster-than-real-time generation (rendering) of a digital file/stream of what the user 'hears'? :-) It seems that now pipewire does support freewheeling [1], and (maybe) that could be promising?
