#LinuxAudio for musicians be like:

Aaah I found this cool sound in my #Waldorf #Rocket #Synthesizer, it uses the #Arpeggiator.

Now I want to try a beat with it. Oh there is #Hydrogen #DrumSampler on my #Linux system!

Oh *beep*, most drum kits don't work and I don't know why but I don't wont to figure that out now.

Managed to patch Hydrogen MIDI to my outboard synthesizer. Now how to send MIDI Clock? Oh Hydrogen cannot send MIDI clock.

I need jack_midi_clock to get MIDI Clock from the general Jack Transport. Installing.

Okay now I'm in GMIDImonitor to find out the jack_midi_clock does not send any MIDI Clock, at least not on my system of #Pipewire + #Jack. Or perhaps it does but I can't see, since the synth's arpeggiator stops when transport plays and continues playing when transport stops.

This is getting weird.

Now I have lost my idea for the drum pattern, so I'm giving up on making music for today. Time is very limited anyways.

Got the final chip emulator ported to SatouSynth from YunoSynth: the YM2413 (aka VRC7). So now the two libraries have the same chips implemented, one in #CommonLisp, one in #CrystalLang. SatouSynth (the #lisp one) is just slightly ahead in terms of functionality since I didn't back-port VGM seeking into YunoSynth yet, but I will soon, probably in a day or two.

This also means
#benben is now much closer to a v0.7.0 release. Just gotta fix up some unimplemented command line arguments, then finish the milestone for v0.7.0 (just one item left), then just do a thorough round of testing.

Testing will be a bit longer this time since the whole program was rewritten from scratch in Common Lisp, so I want to make sure everything is just right. I'll of course post new development AppImages as I go.

So my guess? Benben v0.7.0 will be out this fall.

For those of you interested in #linuxaudio and reading this you might also have heard of linuxdaw.org

A site giving an overview over quality audio software available for linux.

Not too long ago a user made a very nice contribution by setting up a mastadon bot that posts new additions (based on the RSS feed).

Shoutout to @icaria36 for setting this up! Thanks buddy :)

Linux DAWLinux DAWQuality audio software for Linux Audio Production such as LV2, VST2, VST3, and CLAP effects, synthesizers and sampler plugins.

Recently #linux #CachyOS jumped to the no.1 spot on distrowatch.

I've followed this distro with slight curiosity for a while, their big selling point being #performance which is always nice.

..and a mighty good argument using it for #linuxaudio

Does someone have experience with this distro, spesifically used for audio / music production ?

I gotta admit, it sure looks tempting!

They ship custom kernel builds. One of them is targeting AMD Zen 4 which I have, so yea... exciting

A new unstable/development #AppImage for my music player #benben is up ​:happyremi:​ This is the work-in-progress v0.7.0. I believe I've added all the missing libraries to the AppImage this time. Downloads and source code are all here: https://chiselapp.com/user/MistressRemilia/repository/benben/wiki?name=Releases

You can view a list of all the commits since the last development AppImage here:

When I use something like an external hard drive or CD-ROM, I have a stable connection whatever I do, moving the computer etc. However, with my external audio interface, only a slight touch to the USB plug causes an abrupt end of connection and the need to reconnect.

Can anybody tell me the connection is so much more fragile in this case?
