No, but you can get a deb from https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/

Musescore has just introduced a new way to learn piano which is a little like piano tabs: https://musescore.com/piano-tutorial

Does it offset a low-latency or realtime kernel? One of those is essential for realtime audio. Also I see it offers automatic disk encryption, which is great, but not recommended for realtime audio. I would tend to think most of the enhancements are for hardware sold by System76. If you've got an ex...

This looks rather interesting. I was unable to download their app however. Their system seems to recognize that I'm not running Mac/Win and offers a dialog box that says "Download other". However, clicking that does nothing. There is also an option to download the Mac/Win app,but that too ...

Thanks for the update for high-res monitors and your continued support of these projects.

As far as I understand bluetooth is handled by pulse, there is no bluetooth driver for alsa (there was but it was removed). Therefore it is impossible to use a bluetooth audio device with Jack. I'd be happy to proved wrong, but I believe that is the current situation.

This might work: https://github.com/falkTX/JackAss. Have not used it myself, however

I would suggest using AVlinux which is well optimized for audio and comes with lots of audio software. For organ sounds you check out setBfree organ plugin for B3 sounds and aoelus for pipe organ sounds.

Getting x-runs is only weakly affected by processor speed. It is much more a problem of having background processes wake up and do some scan, for example a wifi network scan. So you should disable all unneeded services. Actually, I sort of wonder why people are so obsessed with running at absolutely...

I think you can remove snd_dice from the current session by doing as root "rmmod snd_dice". This should allow you to use ffado in the current session. I don't understand why you are unable to blacklist snd_dice but maybe google can help. You might also try sending an email to ffado-user em...

Thanks for all the notes. Lots to chew on.

To blacklist ALSA firewire so you can run FFADO do this: - Add line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf: blacklist snd_dice - update initramfs and reboot your system: $ update-initramfs -u update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.30-rt41-avl2 The "update-initramfs -u" command regene...

I'm running Linux Mint 19 and installed the low-latency kernel and it appears as the first grub entry automatically. So maybe behavior is changed since 18.3(?). I installed kxstudio repositories to get all the the audio apps. I find Mint to be a very nice general OS, but not such a good audio machin...

I did some tests with my Saffire Pro24. My test consisted of starting Jack at various settings and playing Pianotoeq with a midi keyboard. This is with AVLinux2018, FFADO driver. Not a definitive test of all functionality, but gives you some idea of the performance. I used 2 periods/buffer for all t...

I have a Saffire Pro24. I use AVLinux2018 which is well configured for pro audio work. The alsa firewire driver does not go lower than 256 frames/period. Could be done but alsa developer has not implemented it. Consequently, I always use ffado which I've gotten to go as low as 32 frames/period. One ...
