Re: [music-dsp] maintaining musicdsp.org
Hi, I'm so confused about many of these replies as you are all going waa-(a)^20-aaay over the top :-) I'm just looking for someone willing to hack two or three PHP files. Musicdsp.org is maybe 10-20 PHP pages in total, loosely *hacked* together. It's the smallest site ever! No phpBB in sight: the forum link goes straight to kvraudio.com, no images, no user signups, very light usage, no nothing! The problem is just that I'm having a hard time finding the time to fix it myself - but I suppose I'll just do it this weekend. ( Freesound.org (2*10^6 users, 4TB/mo, 3K signups/day) was started by me and I'm still in the core hacker group, so trust me, I know how to run (relatively) big sites with high requirements, that is not the issue here! ) - bram On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 10:46 PM, Roberta wrote: > One more idea and my apologies if already suggested: Consider offloading > any upload, hosting to 3rd party, i.e. disable ftp/(PHP uploads) 100% on > server for users, no site user account/root/admin. 3rd party ex. would be > git hub, Google code and so on to host code, projects and use ftp GET > instead in phpBB (i.e. HTML links). > > Another ex: images -> flicker, photobucket, CDN, etc. (although this isn't > a big security hole, more speed, static, no cookies). > > > > > On 11.04.2012 02:18, Bram de Jong wrote: >> >> so anyone? >> >> - bram >> >> On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 12:42 PM, Bram de Jong >> wrote: >>> >>> guys guys guys don't get ahead of yourselves! :-) >>> >>> musicdsp.org is pretty simple in terms of code.

The biggest problem is security updates. You are right: major PITA factor. This can be mitigated by a hosted solution, or a multi-site install where someone is already monitoring the site for security updates. But, at the end of the day, that might not be realistic. > Doing the theme port alone would be a lot of work.

[music-dsp] okay, so i got my STM32F4-Discovery board in the mail today.
it was pretty spare in the mail. essentially just the board and a cute little card in a bubble box. the card has some "Getting started" instructions and number 5. says to got to http://www.st.com/stm32f4-discovery tutorial, and i'll do that soon. it also mentions dev toolchains: Altium Atolic, IAR and Keil. do these cost money or are they free. what are you guys using? my PC is XP ca. 2006. i will need some hand-holding until i can get this thing to simply pass a signal (through the ARM), then i'll write some code for it. thanks for any pointers that save me time and/or $$.

BTW, i have a simple, but very clearly commented MIDI 1.0 parser in pure-and-simple C if anyone wants it. you still have to dispatch the completed MIDI message, but it does everything else to recognize which kinda MIDI command it is and to group together the correct number of bytes and when it's complete, it tells you and gives you a nice, partially digested MIDI message. Atollic Truestudio is your basic Eclipse + GCC package which they charge for the full version. A size limited free demo is available. I've installed it and it seems to work fine. does this mean that both the Eclipse IDE and ARM GCC apps are in this package? i don't have to run down one or the other? and they run in Windoze XP (not Fedora or Umbutu)?

The STM32 MCU has a pretty decent 12-bit multi-channel ADC, as well as a 2-chl 12-bit DAC, so if you use those you could do some lower-resolution audio. No audio input codec though. I am looking a building a little codec board that would plug in to the expansion connector and override the on-chip audio DAC. Let me know if there is any interest. > i guess i can try to do some simple synthesis with it (like wavetable), but > no MIDI connector. if there is a traditional serial connection (what we used > to call a UART in the olden days), then maybe something MIDI can be attached. Plenty of UARTs in the MCU. Adding a MIDI input isolator would be pretty simple. That might be an option on the codec board. >> Atollic Truestudio is your basic Eclipse + GCC package which they charge for >> the full version. A size limited free demo is available.

Yep. Just don't try to compile anything larger than 32kB. >> For a completely free unbundled Eclipse + GCC, check out YAGARTO.

YAGARTO runs under MS Windows. > too bad nobody does this for a Mac. nice USB connectors on my Mac, too. There are builds of ARM GCC that work on the Mac. It's entirely possible to edit/compile on a Mac, but downloading to flash and realtime debug are still iffy.
