[linux-audio-user] Re: hard disk sampler

Does the suggested Specimen + Seq24 work that way? I have used Rosegarden with loop samples. Problems: audio clips are skipped and played at wrong speed, could not set tempo properly for some reason, there are silences between consequtive clips. I have also hard time to make anything usable with the loops. I'm really beginner in arranging. It took me quite a while to notice that the loops I have can be grouped to groups of slightly different lengths. Further, a group can have 0.5, 1 and 1.5 length loops. Different groups could indicate the loops of different groups simply cannot be used in the same arrangement without tempo change. Try the samples yourself: www.mountedbythegods.com ftp.funet.fi/pub/culture/music/western/Yello/ (for tar.bz2 file) The samples are provided by Boris Blank of Yello. If you're curious: very recently two interviews of BB appeared at Native Instruments and Emagic websites. I wish we would have software similar to Logic. BB provides Absynth2 sounds at NI site, but they are usable and available only for Absynth2 users. Next I will check Ardour. I'm compiling a list of software which comes with source code. Below I have appended some picks. I too have used Csound for arranging (at 1997). I wrote C code such as track(16); push(); bskip(6*8); for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) { apps(16,0.8); } pop(); and that was made to Csound sco file like this i16 17.527846 3.316531 0.800000 i16 20.436936 3.316531 0.800000 i16 23.346026 3.316531 0.800000 i16 26.255116 3.316531 0.800000 i16 29.164207 3.316531 0.800000 i16 32.073298 3.316531 0.800000 i16 34.982390 3.316531 0.800000 i16 37.891482 3.316531 0.800000 i16 40.800574 3.316531 0.800000 i16 43.709666 3.316531 0.800000 and Csound orc file looks like this (close enough) instr 16 asig1 soundin "oneshot3.wav" outs p4 * asig1,p5 * asig1 endin If all those new audio software still fails to compile or have major problems, I have to return to the above simple approach. Instead of Csound I could use software similar to rawseq or ss.
