Can anyone
suggest a suitable Linux solution for this parrot? I was
thinking about ecasound combined with a pitch shift plugin, if one
exists. If the solution could run entirely in RAM (CD booting,
perhaps?) then that would solve the problem of hard disk reliability.
Any of the shelf distro would probably suffice. For reliability I would
propose using a Flash disk. fast, small, clean, reliable, inexpensive.
There are heaps of small, cheap motherboards these days that have built in
sound so that won't be a problem. It would probably be easiest to do a small c program
which utilized some
ladspa plugins for the pitchshift, probably noise gate and, possibly the
delay.
Yup, you could knock up something with ecasound and some sort of scripting
language (I think there are perl and python bindings).
Alternativly pd would be a good coice, or writing a jack client in C would
be pretty easy if you can find a volunteer.
