Linux Audio Conference 2008: Registration now open

by LAC2008

Dear all, The Linux Audio Conference 2008 in Cologne (Feb 28th - Mar 2nd 2008) is just one month away now. The programme is shaping up, concerts are being organized and coffee is about to be ordered. To help us with planning the LAC2008 we kindly ask you to register now at the conference website. This helps us to estimate how many visitors we may expect, what individuals the audience is made of, and allows to produce name tags for all attendees so that it becomes easier to identify each other. To register, please use the "Registration" form at http://lac.linuxaudio.org Also we now have put accommodation info plus some maps of the conference location online. You can find these on http://lac.linuxaudio.org under "Visitor Info". Finally if you're living in Cologne or nearby: We are looking for volunteers who would like to help out in any way, e.g. to host artists and paper presenters in their flat. If you want to offer your help, please contact the LAC2008 orga team at lac(a)linuxaudio.org The LAC2008 chair is looking forward to have another great conference with you all. All the best -- Frank Barknecht and Martin Rumori Chairs of LAC2008

[ANN] miniloop-0.0 Released

by Nick Thomas

miniloop is a simple live looping program. It can load a number of stereo audio loops of equal length from the disk and loop them in sync with each other, sending each loop to a different pair of JACK audio outputs. These outputs are intended to be subsequently fed into an external software mixer, such as Ardour. For live performance, you will want to control the mixer using a MIDI control surface. miniloop is similar in intent to Stephen Sinclair's LoopDub. I actually created miniloop to explore some design ideas that I had while working on LoopDub. Given that, it is appropriate to provide a comparison between the two programs. The most important difference is that LoopDub uses a built-in mixer, while miniloop uses an external mixer. This means that miniloop is more flexible, but requires a more complex software setup. Another important difference is the user interface, which is radically different, and, I hope, somewhat easier to use. Finally, LoopDub has many features that miniloop lacks. miniloop is currently quite small (~500 SLOC) and quite feature-poor, and I intend to keep it that way.

[ANN] lv2vocoder plugin version 1 released (Happy robots use Linux and LV2!)

by Nedko Arnaudov

Perhaps you don't know what a vocoder is, but I'm sure you have heard one before. Vocoders are often used to add a robotic effect to vocals in music. Project homepage: https://gna.org/projects/lv2vocoder Get tarball from here: https://gna.org/files/?group=lv2vocoder This code is based on version 0.3 of LADSPA plugin created by Josh Green. LADSPA plugin created by Josh Green is basically an adaption of Achim Settelmeier's Vocoder program to LADSPA. Achim Settelmeier's Vocoder programs and Josh Green's LADSPA plugin, can be found at: http://www.sirlab.de/linux/ Happy robots use Linux and LV2! -- Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: DE1716B0>

Patchage 0.4.0

by Dave Robillard

While this release announcement train is rolling: After ages of SVN-only development, Patchage 0.4.0 released. This release is essentially a complete rewrite of the last stable release (ancient history, but still in distributions). Released in parallel are my libraries RAUL (Realtime Audio Utility Library) and FlowCanvas (the canvas widget for Patchage, Ingen, etc), which Patchage depends on. If you're a C++ LAD hacker, these might be useful on their own. Project sites with download links, screenshots, documentation, etc: http://drobilla.net/software/raul/ http://drobilla.net/software/flowcanvas/ http://drobilla.net/software/patchage/ All tarballs can be downloaded here: http://download.drobilla.net/ Feel free to report any and all bugs, feature requests, etc, here: http://dev.drobilla.net/newticket Enjoy, - Dave Robillard (aka drobilla)

[ANN] zynadd plugin version 1

by Nedko Arnaudov

The zyn project main goal is to extract synth engines from ZynAddSubFX and pack them in LV2 plugin format. Resulting plugin(s) are heavily based on work made by Nasca Octavian Paul. Project goals: * Port ZynAddSubFX synth engines to LV2 * Fix some inherit issues preventing hard-realtime mode of operation, causing clicks sometimes (memory allocation/sleep in audio process context) * Make synth engines reusable in source form * Make all synth engines parameters controlable on the fly (as opposed to original "parameter change takes effect on next note on" strategy) Currently only zynadd (ADDsynth) is ported. Not all parameters are exposed yet. Nevertheless plugin produces sound/noise and has enough parameters exposed to tweak sound generation at great extent. You need lv2dynparam plugin library to compile the plugin.

[ANN] zynjacku version 1 released

by Nedko Arnaudov

zynjacku is JACK based, GTK (2.x) host for LV2 synths. It has one JACK MIDI input port (routed to all hosted synths) and one (two for stereo synths) JACK audio output port per plugin. Such design provides multi-timbral sound by running several synth plugins. zynjacku is a nunchaku weapon for JACK audio synthesis. You have solid parts for synthesis itself and you have flexible part that allows synthesis to suit your needs. You need slv2 library and lv2dynparam host library to compile zynjacku.
