Hey hey, I just came across this design, introduced at Superbooth 2024. It's a USB audio 2.0 class compliant little audio interface with 16 analogue inputs and 8 analogue outputs, no bells and whistles. I thought this might be interesting, seeing that the developer hasn't released it to the market yet and is looking for some feedback. Here's the sonicState video showing it: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/srk7iWr8P38 And here's the Modular Audio Tools website going into a little more detail: https://www.modularaudiotools.com/ Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c There's just a thing or two I'd like you to know <3 (Britney Spears)

Calf Vintage Delay substitute?

by Lorenzo Sutton

Hi list, I have heard rumors that Calf plugins could soon be dropped from distributions mainly due to GTK2 dependency (see e.g. issue where already in 2022 the Arch Linux maintainer is warning about this) [1]. Overall last Calf GitHub activity seems to indicate 3 years ago. I'd say the only plugin I used and still use quite a lot is the 'Vintage Delay' mainly due to its controls [2] and its 'final' result / effect (i.e. what I hear), so essentially I'm considering the creative / expressive aspects of this plugin, not its 'technical' features. I know technical talks about these plug-ins are particularly 'flammable', but please keep in mind my question is purely posed as 'linux audio user' i.e. some dude trying to use Linux and FOSS to make music - do also keep in mind this is/was (also historically as LADSPA) the most widespread delay plugin around ;-) BPM (sync or arbitrary) and stereo features (''ping-pong' or stereo mode) including musical ratio (sub) divisions are maybe the most important features for me as well as the straight-forward controls (from a UX / musical wokflow perspective). i.e. I'd like a delay plugin where I don't have to solve BPM to millisecond formulas and calculate left and right delays each time (for that I already have a self-made Pd patch). Any recommendations for possible substitutes, ideally FOSS, alternatives - even better something I could just put in as a replacement on stereo tracks / busses where this plug-in exists in my projects? Or if it doesn't exist any friends from LAD willing to make one (I'd be willing to help with requirements and testing etc.)? I have a proof of concept of a simpler 'stereo delay' (without the musical times) made in Pd which mimics this but I'd prefer a LV2 (or similar) plugin. Also with the 'echo' plugin in recent Yoshimi versions which can sync to BPM and allows independent left-right delay controls I have obtained similar creative results (albeit only for yoshimi sounds, of course).

Hello all, zita-jclient-0.5.2 is now available at <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html> This version is required for the 'freewheeling' classes in zita-jacktools to work. They will fail silently with older versions of zita-jclient. Ciao, -- FA

Re: Fedivision music contest/festival

Well, apparently this was first announced in February: https://fedivision.party/fedivision-2024/ Unfortunately, at this late date I think it's rather unrealistic for most musician's to still be able to finish a submission until Sunday, if they haven't started yet. Especially since it needs to be an original, previously unreleased composition. Thanks anyway for the heads up, I didn't know of this contest. Chris

Ratatouille is a Neural Model loader and mixer for Linux/Windows. ![Ratatouille](https://github.com/brummer10/Ratatouille.lv2/blob/main/Ratatouille.png?raw=true) Ratatouille allow to load up to two neural model files and mix there output. Those models could be [*.nam files](https://tonehunt.org/all) or [*.json or .aidax files](https://cloud.aida-x.cc/all). So you could blend from clean to crunch for example, or, go wild and mix different amp models, or mix a amp with a pedal simulation. To round up the sound it allow to load up to two Impulse Response files and mix there output as well. You could try the wildest combinations, or, be conservative and load just your single preferred IR-File. Each neural model may have a different expected Sample Rate, Ratatouille will resample the buffer to match that. On the Release Page been ready to use binaries, note please that Ratatouille.lv2-v3-v0.2-linux-x86_64.tar.xz is a fully optimized version using the x86-64-v3 optimisation, you could check if your system supports that by running the command `/usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help 2>/dev/null | grep 'x86-64-v3 (supported'` if that return nothing, your system can't use this, in that case you should choose Ratatouille.lv2-v0.2-linux-x86_64.tar.xz Impulse Response Files will be resampled on the fly to match the session Sample Rate. To build from source, please use Ratatouille.lv2-v0.2-src.tar.xz as only that contain the needed submodules.

update of zita-at1

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, zita-at1-0.8.2 is now available on <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html> This fixes a bug (accidentally deleted lines) in 0.8.1 which resulted in total silence at higher sample rates... Ciao, -- FA

Pitch estimation

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, Several people have asked how the pitch estimation in zita-at1 works. The basic method is to look at the autocorrelation of the signal. This is a measure of how similar a signal is to a time-shifted version of itself. It can be computed efficiently as the inverse FFT of the power spectrum. In many cases the strongest autocorrelation peak corresponds to the fundamental period. But this can easily get ambiguous as there will also be peaks at integer multiples of that period, and for strong harmonics. To avoid errors it is necessary to look also at the signal spectrum and level, and combine all that info in some way. How exactly is mostly a matter of trial and error. Which is why I need more examples. Have a look at <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/pitchdet1.png> This a test of the pitch detection algorithm used in zita-at1. The X-axis is time in seconds, a new pitch estimate is made every 10.667 ms (512 samples at 48 kHz). Vertically we have autocorrelation, the Y-axis is in samples. Red is positive, blue negative. The green dots are the detected pitch period, zero means unvoiced. The blue line on top is signal level in dB. Note how this singer has a habit of letting the pitch 'droop', by up to an octave, at the end of a note. He is probably not aware of it. This happens at 28.7s, again at 30.8s, and in fact during the entire track. What should an autotuner do with this ? Turn the glide into a chromatic scale ? The real solution here would be to edit the recording, adding a fast fadeout just before the 'droop'. Even a minimal amount of reverb will hide this. The fragment from 29.7 to 30.3s is an example of a vowel with very strong harmonics which show up as the red bands below the real pitch period. In this case the 2nd and 3rd harmonic were actually about 20 dB stronger than the fundamental. This is resolved because the autocorrelation is still strongest at the fundamental pitch. The very last estimate in the next fragment (at 30.85s) is an example of where this goes wrong, the algorithm selects twice the real pitch period, assuming the first autocorrelation peak is the 2nd harmonic. This happens because there was significant energy at the subharmonic, actually leakage from another track via the headphone used by singer. The false 'voiced' detection at 30.39s is also the result of a signal leaking via the headphone. Ciao, -- FA
