[linux-audio-dev] impulse convolution LADSPA plugin

2004-11-24 Thread Stefan Turner
Hi list,

This is my first post, apologies if it's not on topic
or obvious, but I was wondering if anyone is aware of
a LADSPA plugin for impulse convolution. The only
thing I have found is Steve Harris's impulse
convolver, which is intended for 'fairly short'
impulses and they need to be compiled in anyway. If
there is nothing out there, I will have a go at this:
just wanted to check first.

Thanks

Stefan Turner

It would be more practical to do it as a DSSI plugin, LADSPA has no way to
indicate that you want to load files during runtime, and no UI.

In DSSI you can load the impulse in the UI process, perform the FFT on
it and send it ot hte DSP code with configure(). Once there the DSP code
can the overlap-add/save on it.

[linux-audio-dev] Rosegarden: All Notes OFF

2004-11-24 Thread Jens M Andreasen
Hi!

According to my oldish midi-spec, controller (decimal) 120 is undefined,
so I was somewhat confused at first when I got it from Rosegarden.

A bit of digging shows that it belongs to the (newish?) GS-spec, and
means All-Sound-Off (as in 'killall -9')

It is a bit ironical that there is a DX7-plugin for Rosegarden, but the
real-McCoy will leave you hanging with notes forever ... no?

[linux-audio-dev] RME is no more

2004-11-24 Thread Marek Peteraj
Hi all,

sorry for crossposting, just wanted to let everybody know:

The official statement is that there will be no support for ALSA (Linux)
FireWire drivers from RME. In other words there will be no such drivers,
as it is impossible to write them without tons of hardware and software 
documentation from RME. And we won't share these information with
anyone.

Regards
Matthias Carstens
RME

No further explanations.
The moral of this story is:
Never buy a product that isn't already supported in ALSA, such as i did.
:(  There's no guarantee even if pretty much every other card from the
same manufacturer *is* already supported.
Me and Benno talked to Matthias personally during Musikmesse, he was
friendly and seemed to be open with regards to future cooperation with
oss developers.

Seems like things have changed dramatically since then.

Hi all,

The official statement is that there will be no support for RME from
me.  In other words I will buy no hardware or software from RME because
it is impossible for me to share my hard earned money with a company
that is unwilling to support my operating system of choice.  But I'll
certainly share my money with other companies.  Any companies listening
out there?

Re: [linux-audio-user] Re: [linux-audio-dev] RME is no more

2004-11-24 Thread Dan Harper
Hi all,

I will also make my official statement to all sound card manufacturers.
I will only buy sound cards that are fully operational with my operating
system of choice - Linux.  Around 6 months ago I did just this, I was in
the market for a professional multichannel sound card interface for my
laptop and even though the unit is much more expensive than the
competition (like double the price for less features, although probably
slightly better quality), I purchased an RME Hammerfall Cardbus and
Multiface.

I hope you are all listening to this and what this means, I am willing
to pay double the price (in this case $1400 AUD more!) for a sound
interface that supports Linux.

If RME doesn't wish to support the development of open source drivers
for their hardware, I will have to go elsewhere.

Regards,
Dan

As you might have already noticed, free (as in freedom) designs for

 There is a fee for prototyping though! I believe that the consensus was

We are still talking a ton of dough, and an individual fronting the

Re: [linux-audio-dev] RME is no more

2004-11-24 Thread Dan Harper
The Firefox Crew is referring to the team that have recently released
version 1.0 of Firefox [http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/], an
Internet browser based on Mozilla [http://www.mozilla.org].

They recently rallied to fundraise money to fund a full page
advertisement in the New York Times.  Apparently they received around
$200,000 USD in total, the left over goes to future software development
efforts.  [http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=node/view/4891%E2%80%9D]

Now, our Linux Audio audience is a lot narrower than what a web browser
would appeal to, but maybe it's a start, and with some smarts, we may
surprise ourselves.

Developing and manufacturing hardware is very different from doing the
same things for software.
Economic models that work for one may or may not work for the other.
