[02:59] <Kentrel> Hey, I'm getting a little lag with my midi keyboard, rose garden and timidity for playback
[03:01] <holstein> Kentrel: hey
[03:01] <holstein> are you using JACK?
[03:02] <Kentrel> no
[03:02] <holstein> are you using a real time kernel?
[03:03] <Kentrel> no
[03:03] <holstein> theres a couple things that i would suggest
[03:03] <holstein> you can run sudo apt-get install linux-rt
[03:03] <holstein> and if your on karmic or lucid
[03:03] <holstein> check out
[03:03] <Kentrel> Jack isn't suitable for me, since I only work with timidity, but I have wondered if its my kernel
[03:03] <holstein> !grub2
[03:04] <holstein> that might be enough
[03:04] <Kentrel> ok, i'll try that now
[03:04] <holstein> JACK is really awesome though
[03:04] <holstein> i cant imagine what functionality you would miss using it
[03:04] <holstein> BUT
[03:04] <holstein> im not a big MIDI guy
[03:04] <Kentrel> dunno
[03:05] <Kentrel> Rose garden has crashed like 10 times tonight when I've used jack
[03:05] <holstein> interesting
[03:05] <Kentrel> I can never get anything working the way I want it. Midi is simpler for me, since I just want to practice playing
[03:05] <holstein> what are your settings like?
[03:05] <holstein> your latency?
[03:05] <holstein> maybe your pushing it too hard
[03:05] <Kentrel> I've played with all the settings
[03:05] <Kentrel> lol
[03:05] <holstein> hmmm
[03:05] <Kentrel> maybe...
[03:06] <Kentrel> I don't know. I don't care anymore. All I need now is just to be able to play and record midi
[03:06] <holstein> Kentrel: there are some MIDI friendly guys in #opensourcemusicians
[03:06] <holstein> might have better ideas than i have
[03:06] <Kentrel> I'll check it out sometime, thanks
[03:06] <holstein> wont hurt anything to install the RT kernel though
[03:07] <holstein> you can set grub to not-hide
[03:07] <holstein> and select between them at boot if you prefer
[03:07] <holstein> the RT and generic
[03:08]  * holstein just started messing with xsynth-dssi
[03:08] <holstein> and whysynth-dssi
[09:27] <tjingboem> is there a soundfont editor that works with 10.04?
[10:07] <lorenzosu> hi tjingboem the only soundfont editor (for linux) I know of is swami, but never really managed to get it to work
[10:10] <tjingboem> lorenzosu, hello. yes, i tried to build it but it failed. maybe i'll make request for it
[10:11] <lorenzosu> tjingboem, I see. afaik it's the only soundfont editor around, but I'm not sure how much alive it is.. Another way if you're in desperate need is to get some windows one working with wine
[10:12] <tjingboem> if i have a use a windows program i will use windows for it, not wine :)
[10:13] <tjingboem> maybe it is the way to get swami back to life
[10:13] <tjingboem> when there are not too many prorams being "wined"
[10:14] <tjingboem> i got the latest source code from swami and the latest changelog says: 2006-06-01  Josh Green
[10:15] <tjingboem> pretty dead i would say
[10:15] <tjingboem> Swami 0.9.4 release
[15:12] <Whammo> hi I have a question about power, irq bottlenecks, laptops, and latency
[15:13] <Whammo> ACPI and APIC... which one of these do I turn off?
[20:35] <makerprofaze> I'm surprised it always seems so quiet here. Is everyone off making sound?
[20:35] <acerimmer_> ping
[20:36]  * holstein off to get some food
[20:36] <holstein> then off to make sound later :)
[20:38] <makerprofaze> I've got 2 questions. anybody here use/used freecycle?
[23:26] <IngForigua> Hi every one
[23:27] <IngForigua> someone know, how to play midi format
