Re: [Request] Guitar Amplification
On one of my n900's
It. Works. Fabulously. I love it.... Now I just need a decent smartphone holder / clamp for my instruments.... The only 2 drawbacks to it are the font sizes (need magnifiers for that) and the fact opening a window pretty much makes the new window dominate the screen...not so easy on-the-fly... Larger font and a tabbed interface would work so much better and smoothly for sure. As far as the n8x0 goes... How is it looking? Is such an effects processor program even doable for Diablo? After keeping up with the troubleshooting on #maemo until last night...it looked like a snarly nightmare..that's for sure... |
Re: [Request] Guitar Amplification
1/ i've made buttons bigger already in current source, but font isn't changeable because maemo's xserver lacks the support for bitmap fonts (it uses only builtin ones and ttf)
2/ i'm going to try making config windows float (it's an idea for now though) 3/ n8x0 recording side is ugly, max you can get is 8kHz mono (at least with internal soundcard, external usb might be some way). right now i have it 'working' using alsa interface, but can't get clear sound without clicks, so nothing worth sharing, yet Quote:

Re: [Request] Guitar Amplification
#3 - yeah...I read somewhere recently that the n8x0 piped 8khz in certain situations...can't remem. where I read it though..
I wondered long time gone now about the onboard n8x0 mic and the probable lack of running it through the headphone port like on the n900....and wondered whether or not mic via usb port would be a viable option...even doable...haven't yet looked it up to see if it could be done ... |
Re: [Request] Guitar Amplification
Hmmm...
yeah...8khz..keep running into mentions on it... What about using whatever external mic / pickup.. In my case ..something like what I previously suggested... http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SCHALLER-723-...item339c6ee994 a 1/4" female to 1/8" male gold-plated adapter to this... http://www.ebay.ca/itm/5-in-1-Jabees...item3f4e3e2316 and cancel the receiving and just utilize the calling and simply bluetooth pickup sound into the n8x0 ...into gtkgep and out through the n810 headphone port... or as far as mics go ... something like this bluetoothed into the n8x0... http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Bluetooth-Wat...item2c8b48aa5d (hehee...who buys one for the shower?!?!?! It's like the toilet phone of the 70's! :D) and then run it through gtkgep and out the n8x0 headphone port.... Would any of that bypass the 8khz wall I keep reading about ..I wonder?... http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=116572 "...Maemo Recorder records WAVs only at 8 kHz...." or would it get piped through it nonetheless?... |
Re: [Request] Guitar Amplification
yup ..KotCzarny's kciconsbox really does a great job for gtkgep on n8x0 ...
(not to mention other progs that have a prob seemingly when "disappearing-yet still-running" when reduced for the n8x0) definitely a must have utility... |
Re: [Request] Guitar Amplification
Hi , I was wondering about harmattan efforts ?
Later |
Re: [Request] Guitar Amplification
afaik it is only available for nxx0 ...
it has been a challenge thus far [from my pov :D] to get it on n8x0 and n900... you'd have to ask Android 808 or KotCzarny whether they are or could [even..if it is possible] wrangle it for harmattan. |

Thank you very much. It seems very very interesting. |
Re: [Request] Guitar Amplification
Heya Saponga!
:D ok...soooo... what I've done is put every bit of work done on gtkgep thus far into a master folder on my google drive for everyone to grab and play with. this includes alot of work not just for the nxx0 but also for proper distros such as openmandriva, mandriva, mandrake, and (my fav.) antix. (in 86_64 and i386 and i586 ) It is easier to manage on a larger screen I've found on my touchscreen convertible laptop... It is far more convenient to use with a nxx0 clamped to one of my harps though. Under the file folder "gtkgep for nxx0" there is a great deal of work. not just for the n900 either. but for the n8x0 as well. In total the work comprised here is the totality (to my knowledge) of all the work on gtkgep by android808, Kotczarny, and myself. Kotczarny's work works well...(I have found some background static which is quite loud and attribute it to the headphone jack microphone/headphone splitter I use and haven't gotten around to testing different ones to see if that is where the issue is stemming from yet) Android's version worked well (if memory serves ..it has been a while) the fact of the matter is with the n900 it is possible to use on the headphone port a male to headphone / mic female splitter. Just get a decent one. Or use the onboard device mic and use the headphone port for "sound out" ...meanwhile making sure proximity for the mike is sufficient to capture what audio you wish. with the n8x0 there is the need to use either the onboard mic and the headphone out port Or the necessity of utilizing a usb sound card... (I haven't found a sound card yet that has worked properly and I've gone through 3 different ones so far.) with the n8x0 there is the additional necessity of using kciconsbox (by Kot) to recover reduced windows (needed in this case for the n8x0) ALSO: input and / or output via bluetooth or wifi to an external device and from there utilizing whatever tech it is connected to is feasible. AND: it is HIGHLY recommended (by me :D) to make sure that you utilize either wireless remote out ( ie: bluetooth or wifi) or the headphone port out (to headphones, amp, computer then to amp, or whatever combination you can think of...tried ...I like verrrryyyy much) to distance your output from your mic input (whether using the onboard mic or an external mic) to prevent feedback from occurring ...which could fry your device...U BIN WARN-ED! In said gtkgep for nxx0 folder there is a txt file of instructions. easy-peasy. In all during brainstorming there was mention that: A)- sox would make a good instrument effects processor for the nxx0 (all it needs is the gui). B)- jack-rack would work well (haven't tried it yet) since we do have jackd for the n8x0 (at least in theory :D) it "should" work even in easy deb squeeze...(yet again haven't tried it in easy deb squeeze) C)- ladspa is available for the n8x0 ...so technically ...it would be possible to build an app of pretty much any kind for effects processing. D)- frankly I'm using gtkgep now and holding out for when I get rakkarack running on the nxx0 since I think it's interface is easier to deal with and it is farrrrr less wasteful than other effects processors gui's for wasting screen space real estate..rakk tends to be pretty compact and tight with it's management ...even though everyone will need reading glasses to use it :D (thank goodness for resistive screens and styli ...eh? :D) which leads to E)- either the above works out fine for the nxx0 or the neo900.... failing them all... my need will then have me purchasing a sony viao ux since it can run debian full os's and it has "headphone-out" AND "mic-in" ports....thus negating a great deal of horsesh@t I have to deal with...while maintaining my linux effects processing and form factor needs I have with portability with my harps... (I intend by the spring-summer to have a photo or two or a video uploaded of my current nxx0 setup with one of my harps...hopefully) the link to my google drive gtkgep folder is here https://drive.google.com/folderview?...Dg&usp=sharing If anyone wishes to putter and make a better version of anything... go for it. please do. I must admit we could really use more of this kind of work done. Updated added and revised this post ... please note the changes. |
Re: [Request] Guitar Amplification
btw. oscp has some effects ported from sox (and added crude ui to twiddle them). maybe i should add virtual file to make it play line-in? but without some arm/neon wizard optimizing the code it might be too much for poor nxx0. i will add it and see how well it would work later this week, poke me if i forget.
