[linux-audio-announce] multimidicast 1.0

by Dirk Jagdmann

Hello audio users, I have released the first version of yet another MIDI over network/ethernet software. My version uses the Alsa sequencer interface to provide 20 ports for read/write access. Data is sent with UDP multicast datagrams so sending/receiving is subscription and configureless. As a bonus this software interoperates with a windows software called ipMIDI, so you can mix windows/linux MIDI setups. Get the software from http://llg.cubic.org/tools/multimidicast/ or direct sourcecode download: http://llg.cubic.org/tools/multimidicast/multimidicast-1.0.tar.gz -- ---> doj / cubic ----> http://cubic.org/~doj -----> http://llg.cubic.org

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Patchage 0.2.2 Released

by Dave Robillard

Hi all, Patchage is a modular patch bay for Jack audio and Alsa Midi. Last release of Patchage (0.2.1) was broken, and unusable (sorry). This release fixes those problems. Compared to 0.2.0, this release features LASH support, port hiliting on mouseover, fix for "Disconnect All" on Jack ports, numerous bugfixes and code cleanups. News, screenshot, and download: http://www.scs.carleton.ca/~drobilla/patchage/ Enjoy, -DR-

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Linux Audio Conference (LAC2006) dates

by Frank Neumann

Hi all, this is a pre-announcement to inform you that the 4th International Linux Audio Conference (or LAC2006 for short) will take place on Thursday, April 27th - Sunday, April 30th, 2006 at the ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany It will again be supported by the Institute for Music and Acoustics of the ZKM, and will be (most probably) organized by Goetz Dipper of said institute and myself. We are only starting up the organizational work right now, so this is not the formal Call for Papers/Music/Workshops yet - that will follow in early October (and will look similar to that of last year). This mail is only to allow you to plan for this conference early and think about possible topics that you might want to present. Oh, and we will also need helping hands for all kinds of work - any offers to work with us on planning and running the conference are most welcome. Questions about the conference can already be sent to our "OrgaTeam" list address at lac2006 at zkm dot de. The web page for the conference is again at http://lac.zkm.de - though there is no new content yet. More details, as mentioned, in October. Greetings, Frank and Goetz

[linux-audio-announce] JackMix 0.1.0 released

by Arnold Krille

Yes, after more than a year there is another JackMix release! If you just want to download it: http://dillenburg.dyndns.org/~arnold/node/267 (also has some comments and install-instructions) You don't know what JackMix is? - It aims to be a mixing-console for your computer. It uses Jack, the professional sound server and does pure mixing, no effects or routing (there are other good apps for that). For more info read http://dillenburg.dyndns.org/~arnold/wiki/goto/JackMix:intro This new release includes a dir where I did some first tests with OSC, which I plan to use for communication between the mixer-server and the gui(s). Until now its just a lib and two test-apps in that dir. If you want, you can take a look at it... Some other concepts[*] are about to find their way into JackMix real soon, which implies another phase of heavy rewriting (and not so many releases). Have a nice day, Arnold [*] Reading "Design Patterns" is truly inspiring... -- visit http://dillenburg.dyndns.org/~arnold/ --- Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich verhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner und einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Snd-ls V0.9.5.3 and Mammut V0.21

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/snd/ Snd-ls ****** Snd-ls is a distribution of the sound editor Snd. Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up. 0.9.5.1 -> 0.9.5.3 ------------------ -Reduced the startup-time radically. -Reduced memory usage. -Realtime priority when playing when using jack. -Fixed window auto-sizing. -Turned off off-turning of mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) to avoid being zombified from jack. -Fixed some things in rt-compiler.scm and snd_conffile.scm Mammut ****** Mammut will FFT your sound in one single gigantic analysis (no windows). These spectral data, where the development in time is incorporated in mysterious ways, may then be transformed by different algorithms prior to resynthesis. An interesting aspect of Mammut is its completely non-intuitive sound transformation approach. 0.20 -> 0.21 ------------ -Set realtime priority for the player thread to ensure clickless playing. -Fixed some trouble when exiting. --

[linux-audio-announce] Freecycle 0.5alpha is out!

by Predrag Viceic

Freecycle 0.5alpha is out! Lot of new features in this release, among which a fully functional midi subsystem, allowing the assignement of midi notes to locked beatlines and realtime playing of midi note events. Freecycle now supports drag n'drop from/to or within Freecycle. Moreover, it allows the drag n'droped waves to be stacked and assigned to a scene. The other new addition to Freecycle is the SoundFont export, allowing easy integration of the work done with Freecycle with the sequencer software such as Muse or Rosegarden. Last, but not least, thanks to the sustained effort of Mat Rowlands (podulator), Freecycle has now an illustrated manual (http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freecycle/freecycle-manual-1.0.0.tar.gz )describing all the features. This manual can be used standalone, or integrated with Qt help system directly from Freecycle. The compilation is a bit complicated, please read the README before attempting the build. New dependencies: -portaudio -portmidi -libinstpatch Enjoy! Predrag Viceic

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Ecasound 2.4.3 released

by Kai Vehmanen

1. Summary of changes Support for the ALSA sequencer API has been added. A few bugs related to .ewf file processing have been fixed. A serious problem in the disk i/o subsystem, which caused system freezes in some conditions, has been fixed. Disk subsystem performance has also improved slighly in this release. --- 2. What is Ecasound? Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package. Primary platform for running Ecasound is GNU/Linux. Ecasound can also be run on many UNIX-derived systems such as FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris. Limited support for Windows is available through Cygwin. Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed under the LGPL. --- 3. Changes since last release * Support for the ALSA MIDI Sequencer API. See < http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/MIDI-HOWTO-10.html > for an good introduction of what can be done with the ALSA sequencer subsystem. For instructions on how to use it with Ecasound, see < http://eca.cx/ecasound/Documentation/examples.html#midi-io >, and the ecasound(1) man page. * Important bugfixes to the disk i/o subsystem. A severe bug causing system freezes when using -z:db with very large buffersizes has been fixed. This also closes Debian bug #317900: < http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=317900 > * Bugfixes to .ewf file support. Debugging code for .ewf processing was accidentally left enabled to the 2.4.2 release, causing very verbose console output when processing ewf-files. A bug in the interaction between .ewf files and the disk i/o subsystem, was also fixed. * The --{disable,enable}-jack configure switch was broken in 2.4.2 release. Luckily this has affected only a minority of users, as by default JACK is enabled whenever the necessary headers and libraries are present at compile-time. Full list of changes is available at: - http://www.eca.cx/ecasound/history.php. --- 4. Interface and configuration file changes None in this release. --- 5. Contributors to this release Patches - Accepted code, documentation and build system changes * Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas [pedrolz] (1) Support for ALSA MIDI sequencer. Bug Hunting - Reports that led to bugfixes (items closed) * Pedro Antonio Fructuoso Merino (2) Bug in using 'ao-remove' to remove JACK objects. The disk i/o system freeze bug. * Arieh Skliarouk, Junichi Uekawa, Tom Rosenfeld (1) The disk i/o system freeze bug. * Julien Claassen (1) Ewf + -z:db bugs. * Valery -at- vslash -dot com (1) Failed runtime check when run on FreeBSD 5.3 * Kamil Wencel (1) Bugs with combining resampling and JACK input/outputs. --- 6.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Mondrian Project

by Peter Brinkmann

All: I would like to announce the Mondrian Project. Mondrian is an attempt to create a text-based setting for writing and performing music. It currently consists of the following parts: - a simple music description language intended to be small and keystroke efficient - a Mondrian-to-MIDI converter - interactive sequencers intended to play Mondrian code in a live performance - sequencer plugins for vi and emacs that turn text editors into musical instruments You can find Mondrian at http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~brinkman/software/mondrian/ There's an online demo that'll let you try the language without the need to install anything. Any feedback would be appreciated! Peter
