Yes, it seems to be great! But the project would be xx times greater if there were some screen shots plus a simple example host so that it'll be easier for us to add FLAM into our own software. Thanks for the advice, but I am still in the process of adding basic functionality, as stated in my

Hi there! I am in the process of adding preset management to my project FLAM (custom GUIs for LADSPAs, flam.sf.net) which, by the way, is already running under Rosegarden, checkout the SVN repo if you want to give it a try. For those interested I include below the specifications I have came up

LinuxSampler is not free software or open source software. (sigh, must we, really?) It depends on who you choose to side with. As defined by the FSF, no, it is not free software. If you use the freebeerian definition, you don't have to pay its authors to use it, yes, it is. As defined by

Indeed. A sampler you can't even use on an album you intend to sell or in a performance you sell tickets to isn't exactly the most useful thing in the world. While the LS license wording undoubtedly admits your interpretation: LinuxSampler is licensed under the GNU GPL license with the

This is not about applying reverb to a drum kit. It's about having 6 samples triggered when I press a key on the keyboard, and each sample being filtered, pitch bended, saturated differently, and modulating all of those parameters using LFO's, envelopes, and midi parameters. You can't do that

LADSPA is already long to write and the DSP bit is weird to pronounce in any language I know. An additional '2' would only make it longer and weirder. Call me lazy. As long as it is not a common word or acronym, like sax or pea, any choice can probably rank high in google in little time. Thus my

It is good (tm) to define broad standards that encompass a variety of situations. But usually broad means also thin, which results in it being less helpful for each specific situation it pretends to be applied to. And no matter how broad you try to make it, I bet someone comes up with a feature

USB cards often work a lot better (allow much smaller buffer sizes) when used with 3 periods instead of 2 when Fs = 48 kHz. Apparently having a total buffer size that is a multiple of 48 helps. I can confirm that by trial and error experiments. Same here. Somewhere I read ALSA USB works

Syncing video playback to Ardour would be a great example of the usefullness of jack-transport. Unfortunately, i guess the fact is that the design of mplayer means it can never be a real jack client. Perhaps a jack client could control mplayer via its slave mode, for use with non-keyframe
