Hi all,
This appeared on freshmeat a while ago. http://dpp.mikekohn.net/
I don't know if this guy is a reader so I thought I would mention it :)
It seems it is a programming language specifically for scripting
drum-sequences for midi !
That seems like one specialized language :)
I'm putting it down as another cool thing I need to try...

New subject: [linux-audio-user] Drone generation through MIDI, how would you do it
Gentlemen
My MIDI bone is pretty limited. Here is what I am trying to do (what would
be the best way)
Soppose I have a midi keyboard attached to an SB-Live with alsa emu10k1
with all the sound fonts loaded. I aconnect the keyboard with alsa, wow I
can play the keyboard.
Now I want to be able to play drone sounds while I am playing my keybaord
(or my wooden flute called bansuri). One way for me would be to keep two
keys pressed (the first and the fifth of the scale Im playing). Or tell
Alsa to generate them for me. So how would someone go about doing this. It
should be pretty easy, all I should need to do is turn those two note on.
And maybe later even have a drum pattern. Any way to script them "Csound
does come to mind though"
How would someone go about doing it. What is the best way to do it
(preferably without using a GUI since I want to learn it too). What is the
best place for someone to look for simple tricks like this.
Regards

This is not a solution for you (as far as I know) but this sample library is
simply wonderful for exactly what you are trying to do. He uses VERY long
samples, many of them 1-2 minutes long, with great textures that vary over
time very nicely. I use it for exactly the sort of playing you are talking
about except I'm on guitar or another synth using voice and noise samples.
One thing I find valuable that might be important later is that it makes
lots of sense to layer together the same drone but starting at different
times, or layer together different octaves of the same sound for more
texture.
He did at one time supply some shorter example drones on his web page.
GigaSampler can extract wave files from gig files, so there are
possibilities for playing the sounds even if you don't use GigaStudio. I
think Chicken Systems can also extract wave files from gig files, but I
haven't tried that in a long time. Chicken Systems did have a demo version,
or maybe you know someone with a copy.

Sorry for not having a more complete Linux based solution. I just wanted to
chime in since I really like doing the exact same thing.
Cheers,

unplug the midi cable before releasing the note:-)

This is strange, I shopuld be able to find a trick where I send a press
event to the MIDI engine. I do not know the internals of MIDI, but I am
still sure it can be done.

with fluidsynth CLI, you can send a note on. To stop the sound you have to send a note

In ssm you could set up a trigger that was always on.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.

This does look good, but no docs and the planet CCRMA version does not
seem to use Alsa, where I want to use alsa, not /dev/dsp and /dev/midi.
I do not have good experience with CCRMA binaries. I will try compiling it
myself

AFAIK SpiralSynthModular does not have support for alsa. It can use OSS
(both audio and midi) or Jack (for audio only, the reliable support is
in the cvs version on which the Planet CCRMA package is based).

I'd recommend the cvs version, which uses alsa midi and has better jack support.
