Does ALSA always provide /dev/midi?
Sorry for the super basic question. I just notice whenever I plug a MIDI device into my various machines, a /dev/midi device appears in the system. Is this how ALSA actually presents MIDI devices to the system or is it some kind of OSS emulation that I have running? (The ALSA-OSS package is not inst...

Console-only distro as a sequencer appliance
Hey all, I want to set up an old 32bit netbook (single-core Atom, ~1GB RAM) as a "tracker appliance." Basically it will run Schism Tracker and Sunvox and nothing else. I'm intending to use this with USB MIDI devices like my Roland UM-One & Behringer UCA200 audio interface, and possibly...

Re: Creative Prodikeys DM PS/2 keyboard
Hey guys! Sorry I never followed up on this. Anyway, bumping the thread back up as I finally opened mine up to see how it works. Maybe something has to be written to the PS/2 port so the MIDI keys activate I *believe* this is the case... unfortunately, I have no idea *what* to write. I thought of in...

Creative Prodikeys DM PS/2 keyboard
Hey all, I have a Creative Prodikeys DM on my machine. It looks like this: http://medias.audiofanzine.com/images/normal/creative-labs-prodikeys-dm-362802.jpg It plugs into the PS/2 port (only!) and uses a driver to translate its PS/2 inputs to MIDI messages. I love the form factor and the idea behin...

Batch bit depth conversion with SOX
Hey guys wondering if someone can help me with a simple script. What I want to do is take a directory full of wav files (hundreds!) and run a SOX command on *ONLY* the ones that are 24-bit or higher. i.e. for (all files) if bit-depth = 24 then sox {filename.wav} -b 16 {filename_16.wav} -D else if bi...

Re: Install from CD/???
I recently set up a PII 333MHz with 128MB RAM with debian wheezy. It ran ok with dwm. I didn't use it for modern music apps, but they could be compiled. The main purpose was as a general purpose OS to download software and manage a freeDOS partition where some trackers are installed. Everything wor...

Re: Install from CD/???
Hi Glen, I have the same question for you as I did for FalkTX - is it possible to boot from a CD and install the rest of AVLinux from the network or a USB stick? (I can read the 4 GB ISO off a USB no problem, just can't boot from it.) Note to all: I said I'm not a 'big fan' of Xfce, that doesn't mea...

Re: Install from CD/???
Aww, that's disappointing. Would like to at least give it a try... Is the OS itself SSE2 dependent or just the custom apps? (I think my old laptop must have been an early P4 in that case, installing KX was no problem at all... It was pretty sluggish until I found an extra GB of RAM in a skip but the...

Install from CD/???
Hey all, I have an "old" server machine I'm trying to put KXStudio on. By 'old' I mean 2000~ish - dual P3/1000, 2GB SDRAM. I can't seem to get this thing to boot from a DVD no matter what I do. If I swap the ATAPI DVD drive for a CD drive, it boots CDs just fine. There is no option to boot...

Re: My project.
Hey, thanks for your hard work on this! I'm now running my Inspiron 4150 (P4 2.0 + 512 MB RAM) with it. Goes great, really enjoying the simple-and-honest feel of it! Definitely breathed some life into my old machine. Question: I don't have qjackctl in my menu - is jack not pre-installed on the 32-bi...

Hard disk swapping on very old system
Hey all, I installed KX from the LiveDVD (12.04.3-32) on a Dell Inspiron 4150 hoping it would be useable. This is a circa 2003~2004 system, P4/2.0, 512 MB RAM, 32MB ATI video chip. It 'works' in that KDE 4.11 and various desktop stuff seem to run well enough... except that there is a TON of hard dis...
