Run Windows on Ubuntu Linux with Virtualbox
Friday, January 29th, 2010 | Author: admin

Anyone can run Windows in a virtual environment on Ubuntu Linux. It is very similar to Virtual PC (Made by Microsoft) You need a copy of Windows and an internet connection (to download Virtualbox)…………….. The Video is a little choppy because of my screen recording program… But it runs smooth on my desktop. Sound does work but I haven’t configured sound with my screen recorder. Anyways Yes you can run Windows programs on Linux (Aside from intense graphics games) You can however get another program called “Wine” to run many windows programs (including 3D Games) Do your research and you should be surprised at what you can do on Linux :) Cheers!

MPU-401 Midi test in Ubuntu 9.04 Linux
Thursday, January 28th, 2010 | Author: admin

I found my MPU-401 MIDI connector, and connected to the Soundblaster Live on my PC. This is another method of getting access to MIDI in Linux. It works well in Jack, but LMMS would crash everytime I selected the soundcard’s MIDI adapter as a source (not shown in the video). Note, the computer I’m on is the one I built myself, and it really doesn’t like working with Jack in the realtime linux kernel, I think this has to do with the CPU in the fact that it doesn’t have the advanced interrupt support of the new core2duos. I’m strongly considering a core2duo and replacing that Pentium D extreme edition, just for this reason. Jack supposedly will work well on the core2’s and beyond. Anyhow, that aside. This is only really proof that the MPU-401 support on the Soundblaster Live cards, is alive and working in Linux. Note, MPU-401 is as old as dirt, it’s been around as long as MIDI has, and it’s the way in the old days people used to get midi out of their pc’s before the soundblasters had any internal synthesizers (Yamaha FB-01 was the model for the first synths on Soundblaster cards, then they started using wavetable synthesis in the late 90s.). You may recall that some old Sierra games had MIDI support such that if you connected a Roland MT-32 to them you could get a alternative soundtrack to the dinky FM synthesis on the soundblaster cards. This is how this was done, with a MPU-401 MIDI connector cable. I’ll put up a separate video showing what the cable looks like.. Maybe I should get Kino up and do one of those dual video demos. Note, I’m not in realtime kernel modem. IT was luck that I was abel to get gtk-recordmydesktop to work with Jack.. Jack doesn’t like to work in the non-realtime kernel, which is what I’m using. You can use it for midi support without a hitch, but for audio work, it is clumsy in non-realtime. You could use Jack in the non-realtime kernel for midi support. Like connect the MPU-401 MIDI to the LMMS and/or rosegarden. The thing I like about Jack is that it is more intuitive (in patchage) to connect things together, as is demonstrated in this video.. On the end of this video, you don’t hear any audio, that’s because I closed the Jack Rack and the recordmydesktop was connected to that. So when I closed it, my screencasting software was no longer connected to a audio source to record. But the MIDI and audio was still working in fact. Another thing to mention is I experience strange audio artifacts on my card when using Jack and some software like LMMS and native Blender, it’s like a buffer mismatch, like the audio buffers don’t get properly copied into the sound card. However the recordmydesktop recorded the audio perfectly without artifacts, so this verified to me the problem was my sound card. Argh!
