Re: Seeking feedback: My new Hydrogen Drum Kit

I like your kit, there are some interesting and very usable sounds in there. It would be really nice if you could expand this kit with more sounds. As for the instrument names, I'd say keep them as they are. The Hydrogen website is still down but the project isn't dead - the devs are still pushing c...

Re: Scarlett 6i6 not working

Hi tseaver, sorry for not replying sooner - computer was mothballed for the week as work was getting done in the house! I can see "Scarlett 6i6 USB 3" in KDE mixer but it won't let me add the controls for monitor and headphone output. I got the following error when opening Audacious: ALSA ...

Re: Shuriken Beat Slicer 0.5.2

Hi Squalala, glad you're enjoying Shuriken! You've got a few options when it comes to integrating Shuriken into your workflow. Shuriken supports both NSM and LADISH L1 session management, which allows you to fire up both Ardour and Shuriken and reconnect all your JACK connections automatically. Alte...

Scarlett 6i6 not working

Hi everyone, I bought a Scarlett 6i6 (1st gen) over a year ago but for various reasons haven't had a chance to actually sit down and use it until now. Unfortunately I'm not having much luck getting the 6i6 working on Linux, though it works fine on Windows. The messages from QjackCtl state that ALSA ...

Shuriken Beat Slicer 0.5.2

It's been a long time since the last release so I thought it was about time to bundle all the little fixes which have been accumulating in the git repo into a new release. Qt5 compatibility + backwards compatibility with Qt4 C++11 and GCC6 compatibility Added monophonic playback option Added monopho...

Re: Shuriken Beat Slicer 0.5

I thinks it's highly unlikely to be a hardware issue though I really have no idea what could be causing it. As for the USB stick, you can simply reformat it if you want to use it as a regular storage device again.

Re: Shuriken Beat Slicer 0.5

That's very strange, no one has reported such an issue with MIDI export before and many people are using it. Does this only happen with certain Shuriken projects or all projects? I've just tried exporting MIDI from Shuriken in AVLinux 2017 and it works fine. Could you try running AVL 2017 from a liv...

Re: Shuriken Beat Slicer 0.5

Hi 3xOverhead, glad to hear you're finding Shuriken useful! When exporting WAV and MIDI together, if your output directory is set to /home/username and the filename is set to MyLoop then you should get: /home/username/MyLoop.mid + /home/username/MyLoop/MyLoop01.wav /home/username/MyLoop/MyLoop02.wav...

Re: Shuriken Beat Slicer 0.5

I can't import any samples into Shuriken. Every time I try to import a sound file (mp3 and wav), I get a window that says "Couldn't open file for reading! File contains data in unknown format". Hi Dave, Shuriken currently uses libsndfile and sndlib to load audio files so unfortunately mp3...

Focusrite Scarlett toggle hi-Z and pad from AlsaMixer?

Hi, I've just bought a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 (first generation) and so far it seems to work nicely (KXStudio 14.04 + 4.4.0 kernel). However, I'm not sure if it's possible to toggle hi-Z or pad from AlsaMixer. The check boxes are displayed but nothing seems to happen when I click them. Has anyone go...

KXStudio 14.04 + Scarlett 6i6 + AMD Driver Issue

Hi, I recently bought a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 and would like to use it in KXStudio 14.04 (64-bit) but I'm running into a couple of issues. The 6i6 requires a more recent version of the kernel than the one which ships with KXStudio, so I installed linux-lowlatency-lts-xenial from the repos. That got...
