Hi! Folgende, wie ich finde, sehr interessante Mail ging heute über die englische blinux-Liste. Evtl. kann ja hier jemand was damit anfangen. ----- Forwarded message from Mario Lang ----- To: blinux-list@redhat.com From: Mario Lang Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2004 17:43:46 +0200 Subject: Perfectly accessible Audio production solution for Linux X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new-20030616-p9 (Debian) at schoeppi.net X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new-20030616-p9 (Debian) at schoeppi.net X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.1 tagged_above=-100.0 required=3.0 tests=RCVD_IN_SORBS Hi. I just wanted to let you know that thee is actually one fully accessible audio production envorinment for Linux available now. It is called SuperCollider3 (supercollider.sourceforge.net), the third generation of James MacCarthy's audio synthesis programming environment. Versions one and two were only available for Macintosh, but James released version three uneer the GPL and did some rearchitecturing. This version is now fully client/server based, consisting of scsynth, the real-time audio synthesis server which is controlled via a network connection by some client(s) which use the OSC protocol. sclang is one client for the scsynth server which implements the SuperCollider Programming language. This client does not require any GUI, in fact it can be used directly from within Emacs. One only needs to learn the SuperCollider programming language to be able to do whatever one can imagine. The sclang client for Linux can also talk to the ALSA MIDI sequencer API, therefore allowing you to do MIDI sequencing at a programming level. It does present a quite steep learning curve, but it is useable by us after all. If you got some MIDI fader box or any other MIDI hardware with knobs, you should actually be able to build your own synthesizer with interactive realtime controls. I'm missing some vital pieces of hardware to interconnect my MIDI equipment with my SBLive right now, but as soon as this is cleared up, I can let you know of results in this direction. Quickstart for Debian users: * Install package supercollider and supercollider-doc. * Create directories ~/synthdefs and ~/SuperCollider. * Copy the directory /usr/share/doc/supercollider-doc/Help to directory ~/SuperColider so that you have a directory ~/SuperColider/Help. * Unpack all help files so that Emacs can read them: find ~/SuperCollider/Help -name \*.gz -exec gunzip {} \; * Add (require 'sclang) to your .emacs. * Launch Emacs with command-line argument -sclang: emacs -sclang * Hit C-c C-h, enter "Help" as help topic, and start reading. -- CYa, Mario | Debian Developer URL:http://debian.org/ | Get my public key via finger mlang@db.debian.org | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Gruß, Christian Schöpplein SuSE-Blinux Support WWW: http://www.blinux.suse.de Phone: Germany: 0180 / 500 36 12 (12ct/min) Austria: 0820 / 500 781 (14,5ct/min) Switzerland: 0848 / 860 847
