You need to listen to autostatic, and not me.

Wait. I don't have that one installed. It should be one of the other ones. 100dpi probably pulled it in.

Re: MIDI View

jack_midi_dump Oh god no. When you're testing MIDI or audio functionality of hardware, you don't want JACK (whose configuration is often the cause of midi/audio issues). You want something that goes directly to ALSA so you can definitively ensure that your device is working at the OS level. No soun...

MIDI View

I've been working with MIDI on Linux, and really missed my "MIDI Input Viewer" for Windows. So this weekend, I made a linux version. Here's the description: Occasionally, a musician has need to check what MIDI data is actually being sent from a specific MIDI instrument. MidiView is a softw...

Re: finding a good audio interface

The MOTU won't work with linux. I have an Ultralite Mk3 that I've gigged with for several years. It sounds good, it hasn't broken down, and has some nice features many other similiar priced units don't have such as hardware-based EQ, compression, and reverb. The products aren't over-rated. But no li...

Solo cello:

This one isn't looped, but the notes are long. If I get time someday, I may try looping it.

Re: eDrummer beta

noise coming out as result Duh! 24-bit WAVE stores a sample in 3 bytes, not 4! I think I better reread my own tech tutorials I wrote for my web site! (http://home.roadrunner.com/~jgglatt). BTW, if you're getting into ALSA programming, check out my (yet-to-be-finished) ALSA tutorial (http://home.roa...

Re: eDrummer beta

I adjusted the drums-configfile Ok, i'll incorporate your changes so we remain in sync. But for the foot pedal to work, you need to make sure of the following: Open hat zones have a ZoneNum=1 and CutoffZoneNum=0. Closed hat zones have a ZoneNum=0 and CutoffZoneNum=1. Pedal hat zones have a ZoneNum=...

Re: eDrummer beta

Now I know why superior drummer doesn't get your HH right. Your HH doesn't behave like a real HH. For example, at almost the same time, it says you're playing both the edge as well as the tip of your HH closed, while also stepping it. What??? I may need some more midi files of that HH, but for right...

Re: eDrummer beta

Phil, I uploaded the compressor: http://home.roadrunner.com/~jgglatt/convertwave.zip It's the executable "convertwave" in the WaveCmp folder. It just throws up a file dialog telling you to select a wave. When you do, it makes a compressed copy with a .cmp extension. Then the dialog appears...

Re: eDrummer beta

just switches won't do the job, the dynamic gets lost Duh! I don't know how I overlooked that. Those are piezo electric sensors on your pads? I wonder if there's simple way to hook them up to the brain's pots through some sort of gate that triggered once when the sensor signal rose above a certain ...

Re: eDrummer beta

It appears that your driver is giving me whatever I ask for, even if it's unworkable (ie broken pipe). So if it works with a period size of 8, with no broken pipe or heaps of xruns, then it works. Frankly, I'm surprised it works. Clearly, the latency of the audio output of edrummer on your system is...

Re: Roland UA-55

is "Roland Studio-Capture" a software? No, he's asking about Roland's newest audio interface: http://www.rolandus.com/products/details/1268/498 Very, very unlikely to be supported by Linux. Firstly, Roland doesn't mention iOS support, which means that it may not be USB-Audio class complia...

Re: eDrummer beta

I set this Line: Ok, I can make that change. It will break the settings file format, so you'll need to redo/resave your settings. But I expected there may need to be some disruptive changes this early on. zero, the effective Frame-Size can be 1 Sample per Channel right? Yep. Since edrummer does a s...

Re: eDrummer beta

on the fly changing of buffer size and Samplerate doesn't work, but this could be a hardware limitation No, it's undoubtably an ALSA quirk. I just need to figure out how to get ALSA to do what I want. This is not a critical bug though, so I'll work on other stuff first. Later on, remind me if I for...
