[linux-audio-announce] Sweep 0.5.4 -- !ybburcS olleH

by Conrad Parker

Sweep 0.5.4 Development Release ------------------------------- Sweep is a sound wave editor, and it is now also generally useful as a flexible recording and playback tool. Inside lives a pesky little virtual stylus called Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files. This development release is available as a source tarball at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.5.4.tar.gz?download Changes since version 0.5.3 (September 5 2002) include bug fixes for playback during destructive operations and for edits of tiny regions, and improvements in configuration checks for libsndfile-1.0.0. Additionally, scrubbing is now working for reverse playback, and has been tuned for responsiveness independent of sample rate. There is now a web page introducing Scrubby and outlining a few simple editing and live performance techniques: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/scrub.html Summary of library dependencies: * GTK+ 1.2 (standard in most distributions) * libsndfile-1.0.0, available at: http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/libsndfile/libsndfile-1.0.0.tar.gz * libtdb, available in many distributions or at: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/tdb Screenshot: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/images/screenshots/sweep_20020813.p… Sweep is designed to be intuitive and to give you full control. It includes almost everything you would expect in a sound editor, and then some: * precise, vinyl like scrubbing * looped, reverse, and pitch-controlled playback * playback mixing of unlimited independent tracks * looped and reverse recording * internationalisation * multichannel and 32 bit floating point file support * LADSPA 1.1 effects support * multiple views, discontinuous selections * easy keybindings, mouse wheel zooming * unlimited undo/redo with fully revertible edit history * multithreaded background processing * shaded peak/mean waveform rendering, multiple colour schemes Help wanted! Sweep needs testing; please report any problems encountered! Urgent development is required in the following areas: ALSA and Jack support, updating of translations and user documentation. (NB. Sweep works fine with ALSA under OSS emulation -- the native ALSA support needs some fixing). Sweep is Free Software, available under the GNU General Public License. More information is available at: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/ Thanks to Pixar Animation Studios and CSIRO Australia for supporting the development of this project. enjoy :) Conrad.

[linux-audio-announce] |ANN| Autocomp 0.0.5

by Wayne Myers

Hi, Autocomp is an automatic accompaniment generator for Perl and Csound, developed on Linux. It's an attempt at a practice utility for musicians. Freshmeat project page is here: http://freshmeat.net/projects/autocomp/ Download it or read more here: http://www.waz.easynet.co.uk/software.html Currently there is only one style of output, which is a pastiche of a 'swing' style with a walking bassline. The output is heavily on the gorgonzola side of cheesy, but it's already at a stage where you can practice with it if you don't mind the cheese level. All comments/suggestions etc gratefully received. Cheers etc., Wayne -- Wayne Myers http://www.waz.easynet.co.uk/

[linux-audio-announce] ANNOUNCE: Rosegarden-4 0.8.5 released

by Chris Cannam

The Rosegarden team have the pleasure of announcing the latest release of their MIDI and audio sequencer and score editor for Linux. The source code is available now from the project homepage: http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/rosegarden The availability of binary packages depends on their various maintainers; please check the project homepage for more information. New features since the 0.8 release include: o Improved MIDI file I/O: better support for banks and merging in import, better support for delay, transpose etc in export o MIDI device Bank and Program editor, including import and export of Studio data o MIDI Panic Button for clearing down stuck notes o Added some keyboard controls to matrix o Added real-time segment delays o Progress display completely overhauled o ALSA clients can be added dynamically (you can change your soft synth configuration while Rosegarden is running) o MIDI events filter dialog for MIDI THRU and MIDI record o MIDI/ALSA recording bug fixed (stopping after so many recorded events) o Many bug fixes, tweaks and performance improvements Unfortunately we've had to drop KDE2 support from this release onwards as it was getting too difficult to maintain both KDE2 and KDE3 in the same development tree. We're hoping this won't affect too many users in the long term. Finally, we would like to thank the cachegrind/kcachegrind team for a truly useful development tool. Chris
