Re: Discussion about Cakewalk X3 Producer native on Linux -

A lot of people equate commercial with professional. They aren't aware, or dismiss, that the internet is largely powered by free software. The sequencer/sampler situation on Linux periodically drives me to seriously consider moving to windoze, just yesterday in fact. I don't know much about X3 but I...

Re: SFZ Instrument Maker for Philharmonia Orchestra samples.

This sounds great. I'm looking forward to following what you do. Digital Sound Factory https://www.digitalsoundfactory.com/about has the largest SFZ library I've been able to find. They package their SFZ's with Cakewalk's Dimension LE. And, being that they have the largest SFZ library it seems that ...

Re: Tuxguitar, the sequencer (it's not just for guitarists)

just make it so it can output jack-midi, and then you use an existing plugin host such as carla, jalv, ingen, etc This is correct, though Tuxguitar really is designed to use an sf2 font and using a different synth for each track is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. I spent all day yes...

Re: Arch Linux set cpu governor to performance

I think this wiki link may help. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CPU_Frequency_Scaling#cpupower Yeah, I read that. I googled the hell out of this actually and that's how I realized the tone of the forums had changed. Nearly every forum post I looked at, someone was being a jerk. It's too bad, ...

Re: Rosegarden skrews up triols

I never saw the word triol before. Apparently, in Swedish and Norwegian, it has the same meaning as "triplet" does in English.

Re: Tuxguitar, the sequencer (it's not just for guitarists)

Someone has been doing some work on it this last month http://sourceforge.net/p/tuxguitar/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/ Kinda looks serious too. Seems they're adding midi recording among other things. :) I tried building it but failed. I don't know if it failed because I'm using openjdk or if it's because I...

Tuxguitar, the sequencer (it's not just for guitarists)

Holy cow! What a nice sequencer. It has: standard notation, tablature, matrix/step/piano roll editor, a piano keyboard and a bass/banjo/guitar/etc. fretboard. Both the keyboard and fretboard can be used for editing. The layout is very clean and intuitive. The keybindings make sense, but if you disag...

Rosegarden (as a sequencer) mini-review

Rosegarden has been around so long this will probably seem dumb to a lot of people, but Rosegarden is alright. Because it's been around so long, I've tried on numerous occasions to use it, but I pretty much gave up on it as junk. At times it simply wouldn't start and other times, I realize now, my l...

It's actually an ascii guitar tab editor, but I'm repurposing it. It's called eTktab http://etktab.sourceforge.net/ It's fairly simple to use though not at all intuitive (you do have to read the manual - but it's a quick read). The scale I made with it wasn't great but the best feature is you're abl...

Re: How to make SFZ files

Maybe you've seen this, but the Amplifier EG section of the opcode list http://www.cakewalk.com/DevXchange/article.aspx?aid=108 has codes for attack, sustain, release, etc.

It's great you're doing this, good luck.

Re: Arch Linux set cpu governor to performance

I posted this to the Arch forum and boy the tone sure has changed in the three years since I was there last. Di-iiiiiiick-ish!! I think it's a bug. Here's what one of them said: I think the error may be in /usr/lib/systemd/scripts/cpupower. It doesn't work for me to append the values to the params a...

I used to listen to FSF's podcast and practically every episode they talked about going after some corporation for GPL violations. I think enforcing the GPL is their main reason for existence.

Re: A more usable Non-Seq on Arch

Well, I think I might have guessed right where to put 'jack=1'. It didn't complain until what was probably near the end of the compile with "scons: *** [Src/Midi/Players/Jack/JackMidiManager.o] Error 1" and I saw a lot of -DUSE_JACK throughout the build. Then again, maybe I guessed wrong a...

Re: A more usable Non-Seq on Arch

Well the dev responded and said Jack is indeed a compile-time option. Simply add jack=1 when building. Please note that this is experimental and not all that well tested Is there a way I can add that to the PKGBUILD? # Maintainer: Alexander Rødseth <rodseth@gmail.com> # Contributor: Hilton Medeiros...
