Check out "alien". It converts a spec file to debian package files.

Re: Looped SFZ instruments

We cant just borrow code like that... what license is that in? Where did it came from, did you wrote it yourself or copied from somewhere else? I wrote it. It originally came from a Windows utility i wrote/released two decades ago called Aiff2Wav (convert between WAVE and apple AIFF formats), and h...

Re: Looped SFZ instruments

Note: I stripped out the error checking to make it more readable. Do not use in production code without all the error checks on open() and read() and lseek(), and checking chunk size against file size for corruption.

And it's also the single best tool for looping waves I've ever used. I'd advise you to try to get it running under Wine first, before wasting time on inferior tools.

Re: Looped SFZ instruments

loop_mode=continuous, without also specifying start and end, means that the looping info is embedded in your wave file. Obviously that isn't the case. So either include start and end... ... or get a good wave editor that allows you to set/save loop points ( not Audacity -- it deletes them), with a (...

Re: What tools are you missing

A LV2 or VST host where a patch handling implementation is actually usable. Blame the LV2 specification. It's shocking how something as basic/fundamental as data storage/organization is so horrendously ill-conceived and unwieldy. But then, he did make the absurd choice of turtle for a storage forma...

Re: Ardour external MIDI Clock

Just a heads-up, tramp. I haven't forgotten you. I think I know where your problem is. The comment below jumped out at me: // if time drift too far, reset bpm detection. MIDI clocks are delivered at a rate tied to the tempo. Plus, a clock is not referenced to an absolute time. It is referenced only ...

Re: Ardour external MIDI Clock

Unlike with MIDI Time Code (MTC -- essentially SMPTE over a midi cable), when you sync something using MIDI clock, then the master clock completely takes over the duties of setting tempo, and starting/stopping play. That's the way this extremely basic, very low overhead sync was designed. (It was ma...

Re: Live with Linux

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3tOes0y2hQ Wow. That band is really good. I never heard of them before, which is surprising. This would definitely appeal to a Gentle Giant fan. A french-speaking prog-rock band that doesn't do Zuehl music. (But I really like Magma). And a female vocalist is rare too (Renai...

Re: Beat making applications for Linux.

You may want to check out my "BackupBand" linux app. It's an auto-arranger app that implements a guitarist, bassist, and drummer that follow your chord changes to play along with you. It's designed specifically for live performance. You can turn off the guitarist and bassist if you need on...

Re: Live with Linux

With the emphasis on jazz-influenced instrumentals, this reminds me a bit of Focus. For example, "Daemons Part 1" at 7:34 could have come right out of "Hamburger Concerto". But the guitarist doesn't have the same tone as Jan Akkerman. He sounds much more like Pink Floyd's Gilmour...
