 Is this true, that a firewire driver for one card can be used with 
 equal power for another card?

what I was referring to is rather the idea to sell the same hardware with
minor modification at very different prices and putting the limitations in
the binary only driver (miro dc10 and dc30 as a prime example)

I can only speak for my uni and a couple of electronic music/media art

I still don't see the point, the GPL _protects_ their IP rights, if I

you could try august's scfront: http://aug.ment.org/scfront/

previously mentioned you can pipe code to sclang via stdin or

emacs (and I tell you, you want it) is searchable help and 
browsing of the classlib sources. I don't think that at the

 I have to disagree with this - it may not be a german word, but it

 literature for ~30 years.

as I pointed out earlier Affordanz _is_ a german word (if I would need to
make it up I'd come up with something more beautiful ;) and just like it's
english counterpart has been primarily used in psychology and related fields.

 Ultimately, it may be possible to run Linux (for example) without 
 modding the box. An anonymous donor has offered $US 200,000 towards the 
 development of such a fix so presumably if it is technically possible 
 it will be eventually done. Therefore, I guess one could eventually make 
 a CD image that boots the OS _and_ the application without requiring 
 mods or installs.
 
 But its really not an unfinished OS. Its just unix with X11 and ALSA. 
 A single API targets both environments, so the extra work required to 
 make an app run on the xbox may not be great.
 
 Personally, I doubt that I would pursue this route. However, it does 
 give an interesting mass market for linux audio applications.

to fix things.

NDA, pay more - whatever to be able to change 

#define MAXINLETS 64

 get data about how far from the rim the needle is, would be impossible
 this way, unless you change the saw's frequency in a complex way...

and the rising saw gives me the direction info of course,

Re: [linux-audio-dev] SuperClonider

2002-04-19 Thread CK

I read:
 Then I started thinking that it might be possible to start a free 
 project that is source
 code compatible with SuperCollider. SC is a language like Smalltalk, and so
 GNU Smalltalk will be a good starting point.

I thought about this (but not too much)  a while ago  , what I had in mind
was more like sc2csound translator (using the newer fltk windget opcodes
for the gui stuff) the problem being that I'm not at all familiar with 
sc I just played around a bit with it some years ago, don't have a mac and
if I had one it would run debian ppc ;)

 So the things to do are probably:
 - see what adaptations GNU Smalltalk needs to understand the syntax, and 

I don't know if sc's smalltalk like syntax makes a GNUish smalltalk
implementation a good starting point. 

 If you don't know SuperCollider, check www.audiosynth.com. It's the best
 audio/music programming environment/language I've ever used or even seen.
 But it's not free, as in both freedom and money. You need a Mac and 250 US$.

that's really a problem I might buy a linux version but then again I would
much rather donate 250$ to a GNUcollider project
 
 Somebody interested? Comments? Suggestions?

definitely interested!
 
 One question: is it legal to use the SC documentation to create the 
 objects, and then
 release the code GPL'd?

yes, as long as mr mccartney doesn't hold patents on some algorithms that
a free implementation might come up with when trying to imitate sc's be-
haviour (and you don't disassemble)

Re: [linux-audio-dev] midi re-direction?

I read:
 does anyone know if an app exists that can open a midi port and then, for 
 instance, send channel 1 to the external midiport and all the rest to a

should be very easy to do in pd and can then be run -nogui and remote

OTOH pd might be a slightly bloated solution for this.

 Unfortunately it grumbles about the libtoolize command

NAME
   libtoolize - add libtool support to your package

SYNOPSIS
   libtoolize [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
   The  `libtoolize'  program  provides a standard way to add
   libtool support to your package.  In the  future,  it  may
   implement better usage checking, or other features to make
   libtool even easier to use.

.
.
.

 and where do I get it from?

what distribution are you using ? on debian a 
#apt-get libtool 
should do it, but I gues there must be a libtool*.rpm somewhere out
there too for the sources check http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/

Re: [linux-audio-dev] ALL RIGHT!! linux support comes first!!

2002-01-25 Thread CK

I read:
 
 I am not that familiar with the DJ realm, are 'dubplates' something
 you could find anywhere? (dj shops)

basically not, dubplate means that a softer kind of pvc is used so you
you don't need the high quality  

 How does this work anyway ? my guess
 The vinyl is burned with a audio frequency clock signal
 The box 'listens' to the signal from each turn table

in my case there is no box, just 2 standard turntables and dubplates
with a sawtooth wave @440hz (ok so there's no queuing via the record,
but that's relatively easy to solve, just didn't have the time to get
that finished for the project)

the soundin of the computer receives the two signals from the record 
player, a pd patch then analyses frequency and direction and sends this
data on to - and here comes the good thing - wherever you want, you 
could use this (I did at least) to synchronice sequencer clocks, regular
audio files or video or ehatever you can come up with ... I heavily doubt
that you can do this with stantons product and I guess that I'm not using
patented technology here because it's more general purpose (+ I'm in the EU
anyway, so I can use it for a few years)

if you have two stereo outs + you don't mind queueing using a mouse it's
pretty much like djing (with ladspa - hey - you're in pd's signal path)
+ it works on any linux box (I demonstrated it on a celeron 433 w 128 
megs of ram that was lying around unused in the office)

dubplates via http://www.centraldubs.com/ (I'm in .at they're

 Do you have some kind of web page on your setup  software that you use ?

 I'm very interested in trying out this stuff.
 Got spare parts lying about unnused ...
 (needles / LP players / computers / soundcards / dead mice)
 I already envisioned trying out TerminatorX.
 Do you have any experience with that ?

no since it involves changing the recordplayers hardware and I use
it to dj at places were the owners would frown upon someone taking 
apart their 1210s my setup just works by replugging a few things.
I can also use only one turntable and the other can still be used 
for vinyl recordings.

[linux-audio-dev] alsa/usb

2002-01-17 Thread CK

hi,

(hi jaromil ;)

I guess this should maybe also go to alsa-dev, but I'm not on it, couldn't
contribute too much and thought several of you are hanging around here any-
way.

What's going to happen with usb audio/midi support ?
(Paul: I know what you think about usb in a professional environment but ...)

Since alsa should become the kernel standard driver for audio/midi/seq
devices and all the work the usb people have done to support the audio
class is based on the oss-api does that mean with 2.5 or 2.6 I'll no
longer be able to use my usb midi interface (It's perfectly ok to use
this little faderbaby to make pd usage a bit more interactive)

also I used a usb-audio interface to have a cheap way for multiple outs
to dj with (ok latencies aren't exactly great but it's only playback ...

any ideas how these efforts could be merged ?

everytime I try to get a selection to play it spits out no data available

 Hm. I though it might be some infinity-loop in our IO-layer-chain, but
 migh quick test with selecion, without selection and the same with sample
 date available and withou never caused such a situation (although I have
 ALSA's OSS emu here ...). What situation do you need to causse this?
 (a files loaded (or not), a selecion (or none), ...)
 
 btw: some more informations about gsmp. We have multi-selections and markers.
 Multi-selection is performed by using the Shift or Meta Key (add or
 substract). Marker support in the UI is very limitted. You see the IO-pos
 muving during playback / capture and you can set the current-editing-pos
 marker by short clicking into the wave-form. This is the position where
 IO starts ... (I write a new waveform using a overlay-technic simillar to
 Ardours in the next weeks - with full marker, better selection, real-grid,
 and sample-index labeling, and evelopes)
 
  I'll try to look into it, but any hints are welcome of course,
 
 It should be either the ALSA node or some part of out filters in 
 the IO chain. GSML/include/IO.hh:
 
   /* There are additinal MixerSource classes that can be stacked upon each other
* and act as filters (mainly) for the DataLayer source. That way we implement
* looping and Markers (limmiting and modifing of the start, end and current
* position ...):
*
*  DataSource - SelectionFilterSource - (MultiplexerSourece) -
*- MarkerFilterSource - LoopFilterSource - Mixer - MixerNode
*
* A Multiplexer Source suppots switching the SourceChain. This is mainly used
* to switch to a FX prehearsal stream.
*/
 
 But I will also fix it if I get more info ;-)

file loaded, with selection - start IO:

Re: [linux-audio-dev] OT: How to do random adverts?

2001-11-16 Thread CK

I read:
 
 In the interest of promoting Linux Audio Development, can anyone point
 me to a good place to find out how to set up a system that loads adverts
 randomly when a webpage is accessed?

hmmm ... now I wonder what these things have to do to with each other ??

anyway since I guess using an ad frame is no problem in this line of
work how about having this.cgi as the top frame src :

#!/usr/bin/perl

if (open(FILE, list.txt))
{
@urls = FILE;
close(FILE);
}
else
{
@urls = ('http://lo-ser.org/some.html');
}

rand(time() ^ ($$ + ($$  15))); # you get that, right ??
print Location: , $urls[rand @urls],\n\n;


using content type and sticking to an image type should make it fairly
easy to adapt this to a script suitable for use in an image tag.
or (to avoid frames) use 

print Content-type: text/html\nPragma: no-cache\n\n;
print img src=$urls[rand @urls]
print $restofpage

hope that helps,

x
