[arch-proaudio] Solfege Completely Unusable
by Grady Martin 18 May '18

18 May '18

Does anyone have the solfege ear-training package up and running (and actually producing sound)? I've noticed a few issues that I'd like to confirm before filing a bug report. Missing optional dependencies are the easy ones <https://nosuckdotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/solfege-csound-mma-lilypon…>: · csound https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/csound/ · mma https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mma/ · lilypond https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/lilypond/ Then, there's the bigger issue of pyalsa <https://nosuckdotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/solfege-pyalsa.png>, which is required for ALSA playback (and apparently completely different from the AUR's python2-pyalsaaudio and python-pyalsaaudio packages). The solfege package includes a Python script, however, for downloading and setting up pyalsa. Perhaps this script should be mentioned by pacman, when solfege is installed? > ■ python2 /usr/share/solfege/solfege/download_pyalsa.py > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/share/solfege/solfege/download_pyalsa.py", line 25, in <module> > import solfege > ImportError: No module named solfege ... That is, once the script stops failing miserably. I will be reporting this issue upstream, if nobody tells me I'm missing something obvious. Thanks!

[arch-proaudio] What AUR build environment are you using?
by SpotlightKid 02 May '18

02 May '18

Hi AUR packagers, which environment / tools are you using to build your AUR packages to ensure you don't miss any dependencies? I'm a bit confused on whether devtools can be used to build AUR packages in a chroot environment or if it is only for packages in the official repositories. Can somebody shed some light on this or link to a guide on how to do this? I tried this docker-based solution: https://github.com/Aisbergg/docker-arch-aur-makepkg It works for some packages, but I'm having trouble compiling e.g. the juce AUR package. I get some strange missing symbols in the linking stage, even though the needed library package seems to installed (icu). Does anybody have any experience with this solution? Or can anybody recommend an easy to use docker-based recipe for building AUR packages? Cheers, Chris

Hi, is somebody from this list using GR FloorBoard [1]? I'm experiencing an USB issue, see https://sourceforge.net/p/grfloorboard/discussion/1376312/thread/05b28d22/ . There's a solved GR FloorBoard thread [2], opened by me, too.

[arch-proaudio] New package for dexed with standalone JACK client
by SpotlightKid 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Hi all, dexed, the well-known software synth closely modelled on the Yamaha DX7, recently added a standalone program to its deliverables. Since dexed is based on JUCE, adding JACK audio support to the standalone version was also easy: https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed/issues/131 To reflect this develoment, I have renamed the AUR package 'dexed-vst-git' to 'dexed-git' (merge pending) and have also created a new package 'dexed' for release 0.9.4 of dexed: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dexed-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dexed/ Both packages install the native VST plugin and the standalone program, an icon and a desktop file. Share & Enjoy, Chris

[arch-proaudio] MIDI guitar Was: New package for dexed with standalone JACK client

I don't know how good or bad something like a Godin xtSA Synth Access Trans Black guitar is compared to a normal guitar with this Roland GK-3 pickup. After watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VS0dc4aGJ0 my way to go is definitively a Roland GR-55, but since I'm a hardrock musician, I can't get friend with this Borg thingy, since the cable from the hex Roland GK-3 pickup to the bizarre thingy is in the way, when playing guitar. I try to find another solution, perhaps a Godin xtSA Synth Access Trans Black, if the type of guitar neck as well as the action should be ok. has got anybody on this list experiences with MIDIfied guitars? -- $ pacman -Q linux{,-rt-cornflower,-rt{,-securityink,-pussytoes}} \ | cut -d\ -f2 4.15.12-1 4.14.28_rt23-1 4.14.24_rt19-1 4.14.20_rt17-1 4.14.8_rt9-2

[arch-proaudio] sonic-pi in community-testing
by David Runge 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hi all, last night I moved sonic-pi to [community-testing]. Sadly it's a pain to package [1], which leads to a lot of patching to make it "kind of" FHS compliant and not dump all of its sources to the filesystem, too... As "getting it right" requires a lot of testing, I'd very much appreciate it, if you could use and test-drive sonic-pi and report any problems here. Hint: The application does some logging below ~/.sonic-pi/log Best, David [1] https://github.com/samaaron/sonic-pi/issues/1864 -- https://sleepmap.de

[arch-proaudio] New package for tunefish synth VST plugin
by SpotlightKid 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Hi all, I just pushed two new AUR packages (release and git version) for *tunefish4*, an additive wavetable-based synthesizer in VST format. https://www.tunefish-synth.com/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tunefish4 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tunefish4-git Previously only the project's binary release was packaged, but this version stopped working some time ago and I requested deletion of that package. The new packages still have "4" in the name, because Tunefish exists in different incarnations - Tunefish 2, 3 and 4 - and "tunefish4" is used in several places/paths in the source code. But version 2 is Windows only and, AFAICS, there's no source code available for version 3, so I'm not sure, whether the package shouldn't be simply called "tunefish". What do you think? Share & Enjoy, Chris
