[Jsynthlib-devel] errors under Ubuntu Studio (Feisty Fawn)

[ram <ra...@hy...>]

Hi all,

I've tried to 'compile' the most recent JSynthlib under Ubuntu Studio (Feisty
Fawn) and this is what I get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:init_
    at gnu.javax.sound.midi.alsa.AlsaMidiDeviceProvider.init(libgcj.so.70)
    at gnu.javax.sound.midi.alsa.AlsaMidiDeviceProvider.<clinit>(libgcj.so.70)
    at java.lang.Class.initializeClass(libgcj.so.70)
.... etc

Any help would be appreciated.  Although familiar with programming, I have
almost no experience with Java.

I could perhaps assist the project with detailed specs on the following two
legacy synthesizers:

Casio CZ-3000  (Which I believe is close to the CZ-1000 and CZ-5000)

and the

Wersi EX-20 (Which was a remarkable multiprocessor synth that seems to have
'broke' Wersi - too far ahead of its time and inadequate publicity.  Used in a
few movie soundtracks.)

I could also help with documentation.

Thanks,

Rich Marschall

Behold! the power of Google:

FYI, JSynthLib is effectively a dead project.  But if it's useful, go 
ahead and update it.  The open source pool can always use more code.  
BTW, I added the CZ-101, so yell if help need.

I've been wondering why that is, my guesses include:

1) Most opensource people (most of which are running linux) are using 
softsynths these days.

2) People with hardware synths edit through the often included windows 
driver, if under linux through wine.

I'm still a big baffled, because jsynthlib seem like a unique and useful 
project.

My only guess is that people who take the time, money, and effort to 
play keyboard don't want to mess with semi-functional "free" software.

Or maybe playing synth isn't about collecting patches, but manipulating 
the sound in real time.  I dunno, I don't play.

Seems to me there really isn't much activity on the web at large 
regarding synths and patches.  Reviews and individual sites, but no forums.
