Lubuntu News Round-Up. Ozone3 Theme Ready for Testing Lubuntu are switching back to the elementary-esque ‘Ozone’ theme for their 12.04 release. The switchback means there’s lot of work to be down on the theme to get it ready in time, including switching it over to GTK3. But progress is coming along nicely – so much so that it’s now available to test. You can grab the latest development builds of the theme from wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Artwork/Incoming/Precise/Ozone LXFind – Lubuntu’s New Search Tool To address the lack of file-search feature in Lubuntu’s file manager PCManFM a new lightweight tool has been created. LXFinder is straightforward enough to use: enter a search term, pick a directory to search in and hit ‘Search’. But it’s better than nothing. The tool apparently won’t be ‘ready’ in time for inclusion in Lubuntu 12.04, but it can be installed from the official Lubuntu PPA in both Lubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 by running the following commands in a new Terminal: - LXScreenshot.

Forty years ago I was enraptured by the ability to control a machine using software logic, which diverted me from electrical engineering to software development. Somewhere along the line I realized that developing software for software's sake is not very useful, as I recognized that not everyone had the same fascination for computers and computing that I did. Other peoples' creative talents surface in other areas.

Some people, for instance, like to create music. They are skilled at playing the guitar or the piano, composing new music and leading the singing of people with their own voice. My parents made me play the clarinet, because they realized that I could not play the instrument and sing at the same time....a blessing to their ears. Other people use computers to generate, record, analyze, edit and produce music and videos, and computers assist them in their creative drive. The reader will notice there are often multiple programs listed to do each function. Graphics and Animation. Manual.

Beast Quickstart | Testbit. This guide attempts to give a few brief hints for new users, in order to get started with the most basic tasks that can be accomplished with Beast. First Start At Synthesis The most basic task Beast is able to accomplish is the creation of new musical sounds which is done by using a variety of music producers, called “Modules”. Forming a network of multiple modules to create a new sound is most generally being refered to as “Synthesis”.

Creating A Synthesizer Network Select ``/Project/Add Custom Synthesizer`` from the menu to create a new network. Creating And Connecting Synthesis Modules The synthesis network routing editor allowes for creation of synthesis modules, establishing connections between module inputs and outputs, and for adjustment of a module's parameter set.

Kuki Linux. Making music with M-Audio on Linux. The KeyStudio keyboard is well made, with 49 full-size, touch-sensitive keys. The action feels a little light, but the 'touch' is OK and you soon adjust to playing forte or pianissimo. Like Fast Track, it is USB-powered.

There are Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels on the keyboard to tweak the sound as you play, and Octave buttons for when you want to emulate a piccolo or double bass. The keyboard has no built-in sound capabilities of its own; it is intended to be used with the Session software, which has a good collection of MIDI samples and effects and outputs via Fast Track, or with M-Audio's Micro USB Audio Interface, which is supplied with Session. Our plan was to try it with LMMS, Rosegarden, Timidity, and any other Linux MIDI and audio software we find. Whether you have basic on-board sound or a surround sound card for gaming, inputs are usually limited to line-in and microphone jacks.
