Canorus development team is happy to announce the new release of Canorus
- a free cross-platform music score editor, version 0.2.5. The release
took lots of effort from core developers, various contributors, testers
and translators. This release mostly brought huge under the hood
changes. Among others, the most notible features are the new GUI and
LilyPond support.
Finally we would like to mention a close-related project to Canorus,
Harmonia (http://harmonia.berlios.de). A project aimed at harmony
analysis which works as a Canorus plugin.
Changes summary:
- New Doxygen documentation.
- Initial work on MacOSX port.
- Improved function marking rendering
- Scripting engine now offers integration with Canorus menu, import/export
dialogs and keyboard and mouse events.
- New completely XML CanorusML format.
- LilyPond document export support.
- LilyPond voice import/export support.
- Rewritten GUI. Now supports multiple main windows. Added lots of icons.
- Translations support. Current translations: English, Slovenian.
- Majority of the code rewritten so we have a more robust foundation now for
future development.
- Lots of warnings, crashes, bugfixes and memory leaks fixed in MIDI,
GUI and
Scripting engine.

Announcing the release of Sonic Visualiser 1.0pre3, a pre-release for
the soon forthcoming Sonic Visualiser 1.0.
http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/
Sonic Visualiser is an application for viewing and analysing the
contents of music audio files. It contains advanced waveform and
spectrogram viewers, as well as editors for many sorts of audio
annotations. Besides visualisation, it can make and play selections
based on the locations of automatically detected features, seamlessly
loop playback of single or multiple noncontiguous regions, synthesise
annotations for playback, and time-stretch playback while retaining
display synchronisation.
Sonic Visualiser also makes use of the Vamp plugin API, for plugins that
extract descriptive or analytical data from audio. Vamp is an easy to
use plugin API with a comprehensive and well-commented SDK, and is now
frozen for the Vamp 1.0 release.
Sonic Visualiser is Free Software distributed under the GNU General
Public License. The 0.9 release is available now in source code form
or as binaries for Linux, OS/X, and Windows.
For more information and downloads, please see
http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/
For more information about Vamp plugins, please see
http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/vamp.html
See also the SourceForge page for this project at
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/sv1/
Sonic Visualiser was developed at the Centre for Digital Music, Queen
Mary, University of London and partially funded by the European
Commission through the SIMAC project IST-FP6-507142 and the EASAIER
project IST-FP6-033902.

hi all ...
(sorry for crossposting)
i just did a new release of nova, the software formally known as pnpd.
nova is a new computer music system, with a dataflow syntax. a short
introduction can be found in my paper for the linux audio conference:
https://tim.klingt.org/pnpd/download/pnpd.pdf
the major improvement over pnpd-0.00.2 is a working prototype of a
graphical patcher written ...
it can be downloaded from:
https://tim.klingt.org/pnpd/download/releases/nova-0.00.3.tar.bz2

STUDENT: Audio and Music software is your thing? Need a part-time
job of $4500 for this summer? Want to have fun developing free
software?
We are happy to announce that the CLAM project is participating,
for the first time, in the 2007 edition of Google's Summer of
Code.
CLAM is not the only audio-linux project in GSoC, Ardour and
Mixxx also did it. See [1] for the whole list
APPLICATION DEADLINE:
24 March 2007
Find all the information in the CLAM web:
http://clam.iua.upf.edu
and its SoC wiki page [2]
We are very excited to offer a number of ideas that would benefit
CLAM now that it is about to reach its 1.0 release. We also
encourage you to propose new ideas if you feel none of the ones
offered by the CLAM team suits your profile or interests.
Looking forward to working with you…

Google Summer of Code is a program that offers student developers
stipends to write code for various open source projects. Google
will be working with a several open source, free software and
technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects
over a three month period. Historically, the program has brought
together over 1,000 students with over 100 open source projects,
to create hundreds of thousands of lines of code. The program,
which kicked off in 2005, is now in its third year, following on
from a very successful 2006.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Open Sound System v4.0 Released.
CULVER CITY, CA, March 15, 2007: 4Front Technologies is announcing the availability of Open Sound System (OSS)
version 4.0 for Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Open Server6 and UnixWare7.
Open Sound System is a cross platform audio architecture that provides drivers for most consumer and professional
audio devices and comes with an API that allows applications to be simply recompiled on any of the supported
operating systems.
New Features:
o New and improved transparent Virtual Mixer engine
- Allows up to 16 applications to share the same "real" audio device.
- Supports recording and full duplex in addition to playback.
- Ability to mix stereo and multichannel audio streams up to 7.1/192Khz/32bit.
- Supports full 24 bit range without loss of precision during internal computations.
- mmap() support for games like DoomIII and Quake4.
- Each application has its own independant volume controls.
- Supports loop back recording.
o Full Solaris Audio Device Architecture (SADA) emulation on Solaris so that legacy
Solaris audio apps can run on Open Sound System drivers.
o Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) Library emulation support so that popular ALSA apps
(the ones that use the ALSA library interface) can run on Open Sound System.
o 100% backwards compatibility for Open Sound System (OSS) v3 API.
o 64bit internal processing guarantees audio fidelity and precision if the audio data needs to be converted.
o New device enumeration and mixer API makes it very easy to manage devices programatically.
o Uses up to date native kernel interfaces and installation methods will enable OSS to keep up with changes
to the operating systems for the forseeable future.
o Updated drivers for all devices supported in the older OSS v3.9x versions. Support for obsolete ISA bus
devices has been finally withdrawn from Open Sound System v4.0.
The virtual mixer in Open Sound v4.0 will give the user multiple virtual full duplex multichannel audio streams.
It is possible to run a full duplex VOIP session, view a DVD in full 5.1 surround sound and play popular video game
all at the same time without any complicated device setup and configuration. Open Sound v4.0 brings unmatched device
and system management capabilities that make it ideal and easy to setup in virtualized environments.
