Re: choosing a score editor

Also, does anybody know if any linux score editor has a feature which would enable playback of a selected staff(s) in a different pitch to what is written (eg written in C, played in E flat or B flat - helpful for debugging brass band arrangements) Rosegarden can do that - but probably others, too....

Re: Idea for a new notation editor

Isn't it possible to implement it in a existent notation editor to avoid having a lot of tools which are all in a alpha or beta state? I see what you mean, this approach is so different that I don't see much room for reuse without hauling in enormous amounts of extra work. That said, I do try to ke...

Idea for a new notation editor

One thing that has always irked me about the popular notation editors is that a lot of the 'structure' of your song gets lost: when notes are copy-pasted (common in pop music :) ), their relationship is not recorded. In programmers' terms, this violates the " don't repeat yourself " mantra...

Re: Jack timebase synchronization

I now also added an application playing a given melody in sync with the BBT master:

Re: Jack timebase synchronization

can you please give a short discription, how to use it? I build and run it, connect it with fluidsynth or wavetable, play That should indeed emit a midi note-on message on each beat. I use ardour as time master. Does ardour produce BBT data? (you can see in qjackctl: if it shows '--:--.----' no BBT...

Jack timebase master with BBT

Anyone know good, simple applications that can act as a Jack timebase master, allow tempo changes, and emit Bar/Beat/Tick (BBT) information?

Jack timebase synchronization

Apart from connecting clients and keeping them in-time, jack also offers transport control and timebase synchronization services. One process acts as a 'timebase master', and others may choose to sync to this masters' time. Aside from current frame numbers, a timebase master may also emit more abstr...

Re: Ubuntu 8.10: rt kernel improved?

I did some benchmarking. I started vkeybd and kmidimon, attached them both directly and though 'midi though', and compared the arrival times of the 'direct' and the 'routed' event. On the -rt kernel, the lag was usually 0 and sometimes 1. On -generic, it was usually 2 and sometimes 1 or 4 - so it lo...

cpu frequency scaling

I just noticed that my 1.86GHz CPU was running at 798MHz instead - presumably to save power. While that's great to save battery life and the environment, when doing low-latency stuff this feature should of course be disabled :). Note to self: check out which tools to use to inspect and modify freqen...

Re: Ns7kit

So what format do you prefer?

I'd like to support an unencumbered cross-platform format.

iirc vsti is steinberg-encumbered. LADSPA (despite its name) looks like it's also available for Windows, sounds like a reasonable good fit.

Re: Do you have a distro for 'studio' and one for 'desktop'?

I currently only have 1 machine that's suitable for audio and 'actual work'.

I guess I could dual-boot, but that would be a hassle. Instead, I do everything on 1 installation, which seems to work out fine.

Re: Setting up your own APT repository

If you want to have your own repo which is accessible to others, you need a webpage isn't it? Is there a other way to get a place for it on the internet without having to have my own website?
