[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] E-Radium V0.61d

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen <k.s.matheussen＠notam02.no>

http://www.notam02.no/radium/ INTRODUCTION ------------ E-radium is Radium and a special version of E-UAE. Radium is a midi music editor for the amiga and E-Uae is an amiga emulator. CHANGES ------- 0.61c -> 0.6d: -Increased amount of Z3-memory from 32 to 64. Also increased the amount of chip-mem from 2 to 8 to let there be more time to quit/save after getting a warning about too little memory. For now, this seems to work... -Lowered the keyboard repeat rate a bit. -Fixed make install -Use standard mouse pointer. -Upgraded Radium from 0.61c to 0.61d: -Added scroll-mouse support. Scrolling up is exactly the same as pressing arrow up, and scrolling down is exactly the same as pressing arrow down.

[linux-audio-announce] ANN: libgdither 0.6

by Steve Harris

http://plugin.org.uk/libgdither/ Bugfix release. Added patch for 64bit architecture support, thanks to Andreas Steinmetz, and a bugfix to the shaped dither that increases its signal to noise ratio. All projects that use this code should update. The intention is that applications that require this function should include hte code, rather than adding it as a depenency. About libgdither: Libgdither is a library for applying dithering to PCM audio sources. Dithering is a process to remove the intermodulation distortion from signals that are to be been reduced in bitdepth. This code is (c) Steve Harris 2001-2005 and released under the GNU Public Licence. Details may be found in the file COPYING. It can do conversions between any combination of: in out (optionally interleaved) ------------------------------------------------------------- normalised mono float 8bit unsigned ints normalised mono double 16bit signed ints 32bit signed ints normalised float normalised double At any bitdepth supported by the input and output formats

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] E-Radium V0.61c

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen <k.s.matheussen＠notam02.no>

http://www.notam02.no/radium/ INTRODUCTION ------------ E-radium is Radium and a special version of E-UAE. Radium is a midi music editor for the amiga and E-Uae is an amiga emulator. CHANGES ------- 0.61b -> 0.61c: -Use the X mouse pointer instead of the amiga mouse pointer. Much more responsive and smoother. -Added support for the 1280x960 screen mode. (oops) -Removed one buzy-loop which I had overlooked when merging two sources, and increased the idle rate to 20. UAE shouldn't use 50% cpu when idle anymore. -Removed use of /dev/rtc. It was not ment to be used. -Automatically set the window-position at 0,0. No need to see both the unix window borders and amiga screen borders at once. Configuring a fullscreen is now a lot less work. -Lower the use of gfx-mem from 32megs to 16megs to boost the cpu-performance. (I think) -Higher the amount of z3 memory from 16megs to 32 megs. 16 megabyte was far to little as radium often ran out of memory. -Added "make install" -Upgraded radium from 0.61b to 0.61c. From Radiums changelog: -Don't scrollplay when scrolling more than one line up or down. -Added shortcuts for inserting exactly one line (Left Alt + down) and deleting exactly one line (Left Alt + up). -Switched keybindings for continue block (Right Shift + Space) and continue song (Right Shift + Right Alt + Space). -Put back the old running-scripts and such that I forgot to include in the previous release. Shouldn't be that hard to run radium now. -And other smaller fixes.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Midisport 8x8 control panel

by Christoph Eckert

Hi, after having bought a Midisport 8x8 I had reverse engineered the sysex commands to configure the offline patches. I also wrote a small shell script to configure it. These days I have written a small Qt-program to do so. You can download it from here: http://sysexxer.sourceforge.net/files/MidischbochtPanel.tar.gz It's the first program I ever wrote, so don't expect too much. Please do not send feature requests, there are so many things I'd like to add but I still have to learn a lot about programming. If I continue working on it, then one of the next versions will be a complete rewrite because the code is so dirty and inelegant ;-) . But my goal was to write code that is useful for me. Hope you like it, ce

[linux-audio-announce] mma - Musical MIDI Accompaniment: Beta 0.15

by Bob van der Poel

I'm pleased to announce the release of my program mma - Musical MIDI Accompaniment version: Beta 0.15 MMA is a accompaniment generator -- it creates midi tracks for a soloist to perform with. User supplied files contain pattern selections, chords, and MMA directives. MMA is very versatile and generates excellent tracks. It comes with an extensive user-extendable library with a variety of patterns for various popular rhythms, an extensive user manual, and many demo songs. MMA is a command line driven program. It creates MIDI files which need a sequencer or MIDI file play program. MMA is written in Python. You'll need Python 2.3 (or later) for MMA to function. MMA is supplied in 4 tar.gz archives. Included: mma-bin -- the main script and library files. mma-html -- documentation in HTML format. mma-pdf -- documentation in PDF format. mma-songs -- a collection of about 230 songs in MMA format. If you get all four download packages the total size is still less than 1.5 megabytes. MMA is currently in final BETAs. We are hoping for a 1.0 release in summer 2005. Right now we need help in debugging the program, creating songs for distribution, and new and improved library files. Best of all, MMA is free. It is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. It has been developed on a Linux platform, but should be usable on just about any system. A detailed page now exists on our web site on how-to install on a Windows system. MMA is available on my personal home page: http://mypage.uniserve.com/~bvdp/mma/ If you have any questions or comments, please send them to: bvdp(a)uniserve.com Beta 0.15: A number of synth translation options have been added, chord voicings improved, more chord adjustment options, and a lot of minor (and not-so-minor) bug fixes. Comments appreciated! -- Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bvdp(a)uniserve.com WWW: http://mypage.uniserve.com/~bvdp
