Over in KVR I used to be a regular contributor to the Music Cafe Contest, but
that has really thinned out as other things got in the way.
However after more than a year, I've finally managed to come up with something
new again, and thought folks here might be interested in how I went about it.
The track is named Pensive and is downloadable from Kara Moon here:

Anyway, here goes.
It's all Yoshimi, of course.
I started out with an improvisation across two keyboards feeding into
Rosegarden on tracks 1 and 2. From there, as well as recording MIDI, it passed
on to Yoshimi. In the past, I would have run with a single keyboard with
Yoshimi set up as a split keyboard, but that's much less comfortable and not
improv friendly.
With the melody and backing laid down, I then spent some time with minor edits,
and a range of voicing selections, ending up with 'Solo' for the melody, and
'Multi-Rushes' for the backing.
Multi-Rushes has a lot of 'movement' built in, but I went further with it, and
MIDI learned both filter Q and filter CutOff to the MOD wheel, setting a block
on it acting as normal. I then set the control range to run between 50% and 75%
for a more subtle effect, and recorded this as MOD wheel to Rosegarden,
operating the control to get the swells as and when I wanted them.
For the bass, I then directed one of the keyboards to channel 3 and played
along to the rest. I actually set this an octave high for the recording - it's
much easer to be sure you're hitting the right notes! The patch is 'Simple Bass'
After that, it was just a matter of dropping the bass an octave, and a few
cleanups before making an audio recording.
I hope you like the result.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hi there,
I was somehow very fond of that album in particular but it seems it has
entirely vanished of the web by now. I could find the wiki page and
rpm08 page on archive.org but no music.
I was just wondering whether anyone cares to restore it in some fashion.
I have the rpm08, 09 and 12 final mix but no project files or anything
like that.
Regards,
Philipp
Hi everyone,
Anyone now of a site source where I can provide the detailed
specifications I am seeking, and then get a list of options?
i have a treasured pair of JVC headphones with a short near the plug.
While i am getting them repaired, hopefully soon, it might not be a bad
idea to find alternatives...not happy that I did not buy a couple of pairs
when I last found them a few years ago.
Hoping for a resource, because specs are more challenging given so many
wear headphones as a fashion statement these days.
Thoughts?

This script, by recording LTC into CH1 of three cameras:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p1alqngpo4sK7-ANl6Ldoy_fxfa7bzzw/view?usp=…
created this video:

It's an analog workflow - see the video description. My day job is
programming and while some people like me may get computers just for fun -
I need a true escape. I feel analog sequencers are more like an instrument
and somehow makes more sense to me by using control voltage via the
Analogue Solutions Oberkorn and Korg SQ1. I also use analog outboard i.e.
mixers, compressors, filters and eq.
To be clear, this is a personal workflow preference and I am not knocking
anyones elses workflow, soft synths, VST's or plugins - many of which are
excellent. I'm a bit of a snowflake so I hope people take it that way.
I wrote a script because it's less than 1000 lines and I never was able to
gel with open source editing software on Linux that supports timecode - I
only use Linux and open source software. I soon realized that with LTC the
whole thing can be somewhat easily done programmatically.
we are very close to the next release of Yoshimi. This will carry a new
lightweight HTML user guide (the full-fat PDF is still available).
It would be very helpful if folks could take a look at this both for content
and layout. It should display correctly on any modern browser, and also
reformat itself to suit most smartphones.
Until the actual release, I'm keeping a copy of the guide at the url below.

My problem, as a perpetual newbie, is that I need a "Troubleshooting"
section. In "Getting Started" there's a line early on:
> If all has gone well, clicking on one of the keys should immediately produce sound, and if there was a MIDI keyboard plugged in that should also have been recognised and be playable.
I'm missing the "else" clause: What if all has not gone well, and as
in my case, clicking any of the keys produces movement in the volume
meter but no sound?
Hi,
I recently noticed that, when watching videos with Firefox in a JACK-only environment
(no pulseaudio, usually), video and audio slowly but noticeably run out of sync over the
course of 20min or so. Not sure when it started, but it didn't use to be like that before.
I'm on Arch, FF compiled with JACK support (not using alsa2jack plugin).
I'm running JACK at 44.1khz, blocksize 512.
With pulseaudio, there's no such issues ...
Anybody experiencing similar issues ?
Best,
Niklas
