[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] TAP-plugins 0.6.0 +more

by Tom Szilagyi

TAP-plugins 0.6.0 released. TAP Reverb Editor initially released. Homepage: http://tap-plugins.sf.net OK, here we go: * New plugin: TAP Fractal Doubler. Suitable for doubling tracks containing vocals, acoustic/electric guitars, bass and just about any other instrument. The effect is created by applying small changes to the pitch and timing of the incoming signal. The changes are created by a one-dimensional random fractal line producing pink noise. Special thanks to Jan Depner for suggesting this plugin and pointing me to useful information about fractals. * New plugin: TAP Reflector. This plugin creates a psychedelic reverse audio effect. It is especially worth trying this plugin on sustained guitar and vocal tracks. Percussive sounds also create a very characteristic atmosphere when played in a backward-ish style. * New plugin: TAP Pink/Fractal Noise. This plugin came to life as a secondary product of the development of TAP Fractal Doubler. It generates pink noise by means of a one-dimensional random fractal line generated by the midpoint displacement method. Yes, it's Reverb time again! * Vastly enhanced the internal workings of TAP Reverberator. As a result, the sonic quality of reverberation got much better. (Well, at least, now it *IS* real reverberation.) If you tried it once, and found it sounded like hell, you definitely need to check it out now! * Long-long-standing denormal float (or whatever) problems causing occasional runaway CPU-usage led to the complete re-implementation of the internal DSP algorithm of the reverb using fixed-point arithmetics. This inherently fixes denormal problems. However, the option to use the previous floating-point DSP code remains as a #define which you can set before compiling. The default is to use fixed-point math. Very special thanks to Jan Depner for spending his time with repeatedly testing the reverb and sharing his insights. * A new application named TAP Reverb Editor has been written. It is a standalone JACK app, with a GTK+-2 user interface. It works and sounds the same as the LADSPA version (TAP Reverberator), but has extended features that support direct editing of Reverb Types, with immediate visual and sonic feedback. You can design new Reverb Types easily, and 'backporting' these into the LADSPA version is also a breeze. This program is available as a separate package called TAP-reverbed. * Introducing some new Reverb Types: I made these for some acoustic guitar tracks: * Ambience * Ambience (Thick) * Ambience (Thick) - HD ...and these for fun: * Cathedral * Cathedral - HD Other changes: * TAP Dynamics plugins (both Mono and Stereo) were also affected by a runaway CPU-usage issue. It was fixed in the same way as with the reverb: by converting the internals to use fixed point math by default. (The #define option to use floating point math still remains.) * Applied patch from Luke Yelavich to clean up the Makefile a bit. * Complete website/docs redesign. The documentation for TAP-plugins and the user manual for TAP Reverb Editor is now available for download as a separate package called TAP-plugins-doc. Hope you enjoy this release. Please report any problems. Tom

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: The Linux soundapps site is now mirrored in Europe at the following URL : http://linuxsound.atnet.at Please update your bookmarks. The www.linuxsound.at URL is no longer in use. The hosting site contacted me regarding the outdated material that was still displayed, and I have brought the site into sync with the US and Japanese mirrors. This time for sure...

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] BLOP LADSPA Plugins 0.2.8

by Mike Rawes

Hi After way too long, a new release of the BLOP LADSPA Plugin set. Orginally named Bandlimited LADSPA Oscillator Plugins, but there's more than oscillators... they're more useful in a modular host, such as Spiral Synth Modular, gAlan, Alsa Modular Synth etc. Plugins in the set: New since last release: * Quantiser (quantise to arbitrary values in a range) * Signal Tracker (envelope follower, sample+hold, track+hold, ...) * DAHDSR envelope generator * Difference and Ratio utility plugins Existing ones, with less bugs I hope: * Bandlimited DCOs (wavetable based): - Sawtooth - Square - Pulse with variable width - Triangle with variable slope (Saw->Triangle) * Analogue-style step sequencer * Fast'n'Dirty Moog 4 Pole implementation * Two ADSR envelope generators * Random wave generator * A mono amplifier * Non-bandlimited square and pulse clock oscillators * 1V / Octave CV to Frequency converter * Control rate to Audio rate interpolator * Sum and Product utility plugins Some plugins come in control and audio rate variations. RDF metadata is also included if your host supports it. All plugins pass the demolition test: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njl98r/code/ladspa/demolition.html Website: http://blop.sourceforge.net - Myk

[linux-audio-announce] mcontrol-0.0.01

by holborn

Hi I released this small utility ... and sorry for the English :-) Overview --------------- mcontrol is a ALSA MIDI sequencer client and brings the possibility to assign up to twelve "simultaneous" MIDI control messages for each controller in your MIDI keyboard (Modulation Wheel, Breath Controller, Foot Controller, Pitch Bend and After Touch). An example is always better: You can send Reverb, Volume, Chorus, Modulation MIDI messages using the modulation wheel controller of your MIDI keyboard. Or pitch bend and reverb using after-touch, or control the Filter Cutoff in modulator wheel, or control the Pan using the Pitch Bender ..... etc etc etc ... Most of the moderns synthesizers can do that, but normally don't send the midi data, with mcontrol you can record series of controllers in your favorite sequencer. Up to 200 Midi message controllers, can be edited and saved. And programs and Banks of 45 programs of what you edit can be saved too. availabel in: http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/soudfontcombi/mcontrol-0.0.01.tar.gz Please check, sure they will be tones of bugs :-) Requirements: --------------------- * Linux (Tested on a PIII 933 Debian sid and PII 300 Gentoo). * ALSA (with sequencer). * FLTK (tested and compiled with v1.1.1) * Midi Keyboard (optional) Josep
