Hello all,
If anyone is in the Los Angeles area next Thursday the 14th, I'll be
giving a talk about 64 Studio at the Linux Movies meeting on that evening
- please see the attachment for the details.
Cheers!
Daniel
Dear all,
this is the second call for papers for the 5th Linux Audio Developers
Conference (LAC2007). This is a reminder since some people might not
have received the last call or might just have forgotten about the
deadlines by now (08 Jan 2007 : Deadline for submission of papers,
worshops, tutorials, demos, hands on demos and music).
The conference is organized by the TU-Berlin in cooperation with people
of the Linux Audio Developers mailing list, the music festival
Inventionen 2007 and the Humboldt University of Berlin.
The LAC2007 is taking place at the TU-Berlin, Germany from the 22nd -
25th of March 2007.
We have introduced some new tracks. Besides the category for papers,
demos and workshops, calls for tutorials and hands on demos have been
added. The tutorials aim is to give new (potential) users an overview of
the possibilities of Linux Audio Software and how to get started.
The LAC2007 provides a computer pool (LA Pool) where developers can give
an introduction to their software and where participants can try out
Linux Audio Software during the conference. This has been combined in
the call hands on demos.
Since the TU-Berlin is installing a new Wave Field Synthesis (WFS)
system the call for music has been extended by a call for compositions
for this system. Music that can be used for radio airplay can be
submitted, and will after acceptance by the Campusradio of the TU
Berlin, be played during the conference.
More detailed Information can be found in the 'Call for Papers' attached
to this email or on the website at:
www.lac.tu-berlin.de
We are looking forward to many interesting submissions for the Linux
Audio Conference 2007 and hope to see you in Berlin in 2007!
Please feel free to forward this email to anybody who is interested.
On behalf of the LAC2007 organisation team,
Marije Baalman and Simon Schampijer
On behalf of the Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the
immediate release of Rivendell v0.9.79. Rivendell is a full-featured radio
automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It
is available under the GNU General Public License. From the NEWS file:
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
Pausing SoundPanel Buttons -- It is now possible to configure
RDAirPlay so that touching a playing SoundPanel button causes the
playout to pause rather than stop. This is enabled by checking the
'Enable Button Pausing' checkbox in
RDAdmin->ManageHosts->RDAirPlay.
Bugfixes -- Fixed a database schema problem that was causing Pre-
and Post-Import lists in RDLogManager to appear empty when editing
events.
See the ChangeLog for further details.
Library Versions:
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.4 and
librhpi-0.94.7 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of
the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing:
rpm -q libradio
rpm -q librhpi
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 128, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after
upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to
be applied.

Cheers!

Quite a while ago I developed some python interfaces to the less
realtime critical components of the ALSA library, including most of the
MIDI and mixer interfaces.
I also developed an application in Python that can bind ALSA mixer
elements to MIDI CC messages. It has no GUI by design, and can send
feedback as CC messages when the mixer state changes (useful if you have
a MIDI control surface with motorized faders like the BCF2000).
I had intended to put some polish on the thing and then announce it, but
that was about a year ago and it hasn't happened, so I now announce the
project at <http://bitglue.com/pyalsa>.
This is for the brave ones who like to try new things!
I've been playing a bit getting MMA to auto-generate melodies. A few
discussions with one enthusiastic user and some false starts later, I've
come up with the idea of having a new track I've called an ARIA. Using
pattern definitions, much like those used in other MMA tracks, you set a
framework for MMA to generate a melody over a given set of chord changes.
Honestly, this will never put a real composer out of business ... but it
is fun.
I've put up a skeleton version of mma-1.0-b up on
http://www.mellowood.ca/mma/
Please download and give it a try. The package really does assume you
know how to install things on your own, no installer.
Shout if problems. And, do let me know what you think. Either via
private email or on our discussion board:

This is a bugfix version of Rivendell. Issues addressed include the
following:
Broken PLAY Transitions -- Fixes random hangs and log stopdowns
between events with PLAY transition type.
Audio Importation Issues -- Fixes various issues with autotrimming
and level normalization.
RDLogManager Timed-Start Attributes -- Fixes a problem where an
event would fail receive a Hard Time 'Start Immediately' attribute
if the Pre-Import Carts list was empty.
See the ChangeLog for further details.
