Larry, I ask most of mine on Alsa-Dev, and generally get pretty fast answers. I'm about to start a MIDI problems thread (big problems unfortunately...) and have to decide where to do it, so your email is timely. Thanks, Mark

OTOH, lately I've been messing with OSC and found out that it is much more flexible. I think at least twp commercial apps support it as well, one of them being Max (+ over a dozen oss apps, such as pd, supercollider, etc.). See here for more info: http://cnmat.cnmat.berkeley.edu/OSC/ So, this may be a path to pursue if one wants to attain greater flexibility. Hope this helps at least a bit. Ico

Unfortunately, I don't still have the email, but I think I read something from Frank Barknecht to the effect that this list really should have been called linux-audio/midi-user.

For that matter, (and this probably reveals how long I've been using MIDI), do you still have to pay money to the MMA to get a copy of the MIDI specs? Is the MIDI spec still at rev 1.0? Or is that whole organization dead?

So controlling stage lighting is out then :-) Actually, many years ago (I think this was around the 286 era) a gave some consideration to writing a utility to to use MIDI to transfer file between two of my computers (one didn't have an RS-232 port). I don't remember why I never ended up doing it.

Yeah, anyone asking questions about MIDI controlled lighting will be asked to leave ;) - unless there recording the sound of the lights tunring on and off...

Hi all! Its been a long time since I wanted to try freaqtweak but with no luck The situation is as follows: I am on suse 8.1 with gcc 3.2 I have : wxGTK-2.2.9-185 (SuSe rpm) wxGTK-devel-2.2.9-185 (SuSe rpm) I also have fftw 2.1.3 compiled from sources. with : ./configure --enable-float --enable-type-prefix make make install and make clean ./configure --enable-type-prefix make make install Tried freqtweak 4.4 ,4,5 and 4,6 and i get the same errors: <SNIP> g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/X11R6/lib/wx/include/gtk-2.2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -DGTK_NO_CHECK_CASTS -D__WXGTK__ -D_REENTRANT -DNEWWX -Wall -D_REENTRANT -g -O2 -O2 -fexpensive-optimizations -funroll-loops -finline-functions -ffast-math -I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -c -o FTmainwin.o `test -f 'FTmainwin.cpp' || echo './'`FTmainwin.cpp cc1plus: warning: changing search order for system directory "/usr/local/include" cc1plus: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system directory In file included from FTmainwin.cpp:46: FTactiveBarGraph.hpp: In member function `float FTactiveBarGraph::dbToVal(float)': FTactiveBarGraph.hpp:225: choosing `double pow(double, double)' over `float std::pow(float, float)' FTactiveBarGraph.hpp:225: because worst conversion for the former is better than worst conversion for the latter make[2]: *** [FTmainwin.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/anton/Documents/freqtweak-0.4.6/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/anton/Documents/freqtweak-0.4.6' make: *** [all] Error 2 <SNIP> P.S What about that warning : cc1plus: warning: changing search order for system directory "/usr/local/include" cc1plus: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system directory I seem to get it very often in a variety of different compiles. Is it anything to worry about? -- Regards Anton
