Theatre Organ Software Demo

A quick demo of the software side of my Theatre Organ Project. I hope to give more in-depth stuff when I get the time. The whole system is due for an upgrade anyhow.

Hello again,

I am progressing along...but at a snails pace. I been talking to a fellow over at the JOrgan forum by the name of Graham. He does know you. At any rate he says I need a file/module by the name of snd-virmidi. Do you have that on your system? It is needed for Debian, but when I looked this module up for Ubuntu, nothing comes up. If you run 'sudo modprobe snd-virmidi' in your Terminal what do you get?

in the /etc folder, edit the file called modules and add snd-virmidi to the bottom of the list. This loads the module on bootup. I don't recall excatly how to set it up in Jorgan though, it's been too long and I can't get to the organ to look at it right now.

I put it in there, but when I do a 'sudo modprobe snd-virmidi' It comes up 'Failure-Module SND-VIRMIDI not found.

I was told that this means it isn't on my system at all. That is my dilema, there was only one document I found to load the module on and when I followed that, it STILL wasn't found. However, it isn't in any repositories or anything. I am wondering if Ubunty Hardy did away with it, but if so what is the new replacement?

Seems like I had a problem like that with Ubuntu Studio, but not regular Ubuntu. If they did get rid of it though, that would not be cool. It is not something you can just copy from another computer. It is part of the Kernel.

@Acer0304 This was done on my old camera, and compressed to a really low bitrate with another program.

All of my videos before mid 2009 were taken with a Canon Powershot A630. All others are with a Powershot SX1 IS.

Nice organ! What soundfont are you using? Is there anyway you can give me a copy of your soundfont and disposition to get it to work on my system?

Back again :). I am transferring JOrgan over to Puppy Linux now. It is supposedly a much faster operating system and it supports an RT kernel. It also has the snd-virmidi driver. The only trouble is that Puppy doesn't support my SB X-Fi card. With all the fuss with that card, I am going to ditch it and revert back to a SB Live. Then I know it will work with Linux.

(continued) If worse comes to worse, I do have Ubuntu 7.10 on a disk and perhaps I just will have to set it up on an older machine I have laying around. V7.10 SHOULD have the virmidi module. We will see which way I will go. Maybe the new version of JOrgan will be enough.

I was reading that because Jack can do virtual midi connections that snd-virmidi is kind of obsolete. But what I been reading also confirms to what are saying that it is something that is a part of the kernel and cannot be installed. So I guess it looks like I may have to use the version of JOrgan with the fluidsynth installed already. Hopefully the JOrgan devs catch on and make a work around though. (continued)

I don't have latency problems. I think there is a delay setting in Jorgan that lets you adjust latency for different chambers.
