M-Audio Oxygen 8 with Ubuntu 8.04
26.04.2008
1. Go to the Synaptic Package Manager, search for "m-audio", you'll find midisport-firmware. Install.

I think that after installing midisport-firmware Ubuntu should already detect the devices and remap them, but as seem that it's not doing it, then:

2. Open a Terminal, and type "lsusb". If the device is connected you should find something like Bus 005 Device 005: ID 0763:1014 Midiman

3. Type this (but with your bus/device): sudo fxload -D /dev/bus/usb/005/005 -s /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSportLoader.ihx -I /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSportKS.ihx

It should be similar for other M-Audio devices. Now I can use my old Oxygen 8 keyboard with Aldrin :D

Ok, I did some more progress with the tune. It's still not done but it has more parts and melodies, need to fix how some parts go in and out, improve the mixing, and even reconsider if I'm really putting that much melody or not. We'll see...

At this point I've also came up with an idea that could work based on the resources I have at the moment, I just need to put texture to a triangle and do some more tests... Tomorrow will be another day.

Ok, thanks to Sole's huge samples collection I managed to progress a little bit on the music. I have the base already, will need to add some more sounds and variations but sounds good enough to me. I started first with the music because I can't control myself while composing the tune, I mean, I can't produce a specific style if somebody ask me, I just do whatever sound good while adding sounds and melodies. So, whatever it comes out, I'll have to find the way later on to put images and some visual sense/relation to it.

I have to say that it took me a while to understand how to export a .wav from Aldrin, but once the wav was exported I just had to go to Add/Remove Applications, searched for .OGG, and found a program on the list that I heard of before, Audacity. Clicked on install, installed it, loaded the .wav and exported as .ogg. Easy and quick.

Now that we have the technology, it was about time to upload that 500Mb+ video to Google Video. So if you feel like watching a chair riot you can watch it now with ease ;)

Tried to compose something today but I didn't get too far :( I really need to get used to Aldrin, in the same time I've spent trying to get something listen able I would have finished a tune with Reason already. It also crashes from time to time, specially when importing sounds from freesound. Patience...

OGG playback with Java?


OK, I've spent all night trying to play some music, I've tried with everything, but all seemed too complex for my novice level. Checked a lot of source codes from applications that used JOrbis, but there was no luck. When I was almost thinking of leaving it for another day I found Kevin Glass' EasyOGG which was easy to setup and will do the job until I get to the synchronisation part.

So... finally!! .OGG playback!!

I'm using Paniq's Saturday Bam as placeholder.

Also, now I'm also hosting some of the .jar that was downloading from sun before. Seems to work.

Some people asked regarding the MacOS issue on my previous post. Well, basically the problem was my hosting and how I have the .htaccess file setup. Seems like, on the MacOS version of the Virtual Machine (hello Apple), the applet launcher needs to download something and before downloading from somewhere else, it checks if the file its already in the hosting, and as my .htaccess forwards all the 404 to index page the Java client was getting html stuff instead of a 404 and it was getting stuck. I don't know what tries to download because Charles doesn't sniff those connections, neither I found any information regarding that on the iterweb. So, got rid of the 404 rule on the .htaccess and it worked.

Anyway... 8.48am, time to sleep :S
