phasex-0.12.0-beta4

by William Weston

Greetings, Thank you for all your great feedback on the last two betas! phasex-0.12.0-beta4 addresses all of the concerns brought up so far: Velocity: Many of you have noticed that velocity and aftertouch were completely unsupported. Now, velocity (with aftertouch) can be mapped to directly to oscillators and LFOs (by setting the source), used as a modulation source (adjust volume w/ AM or pitch w/ FM), or mapped to the filter in the filter-lfo section. GUI: Some of you mentioned that the colors were too dark with too little contrast, so now there are four GTK theme options: Dark (original purple background), Light (orange background), System (use the system GTK theme), and Custom (choose any gtkrc file for your theme). There have also been issues with getting phasex to fit on small screens (usually netbooks). The knob images have been trimmed down vertically (just blank pixels), and the padding between widgets has been almost completely cut out. The font can be selected in the preferences. Additionally, a true fullscreen mode has been added. It is now possible to fit phasex into an 800x600 desktop. Atom processors: Compiler optimization flags for the Intel Atom processors have been added to the build system. Run './configure --enable-arch=atom' to build for the Atom. To force 32- or 64-bit builds, use 'atom32' or 'atom64'. The rest is just small tweaks and bugfixes, such as fixing the segfault on quit issue, fixing all the compiler warnings, minor updates to the build system, new menu items, etc. As I don't have access to a netbook right now, please let me know how it works out with the Atom or other low-power CPU, or on any machine with a screen smaller than 1024x768. Of course, feedback from the rest of you is highly welcome, too ;-} Visit http://sysex.net/phasex/beta for source tarball, Fedora 11 RPMS, or Fedora 8 RPMS. Cheers, --ww

xwax 0.6 release - DJ software

by Mark Hills

xwax 0.6 is now available: http://www.xwax.co.uk/ xwax is open-source vinyl emulation software for Linux. It allows DJs and turntablists to playback digital audio files (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC and more), controlled using a normal pair of turntables via timecoded vinyls. It's designed for both beat mixing and scratch mixing. Needle drops, pitch changes, scratching, spinbacks and rewinds are all supported, and feel just like the audio is pressed onto the vinyl itself. The major changes between v0.5 and v0.6: * New music library scanning which is modular and extensible * Decreased memory use of timecode decoder and other minor fixes. -- Mark

[ANN] LADI Session Handler - Preview 1

by Nedko Arnaudov

The first milestone is reached and result is a tarball that brave souls may want to download and try. It contains implementation of JACK multiconfig functionality. JACK server settings can be saved as part of a studio. Then, loading studio will cause JACK settings stored as part of the studio to be restored. Build will produce three operational components: * ladishd - The daemon, a D-Bus service * gladish - GTK GUI interface * ladish_control - Command-line interface In the tarball you will also find bundled suitable (latest and gratest) flowcanvas and LADI Tools. Download: http://ladish.org/download/ladish-0.1.tar.bz2 http://ladish.org/download/ladish-0.1.tar.bz2.sig Homepage: http://ladish.org/ Roadmap: http://ladish.org/roadmap --------------------------------------------------------------------- LADI Session Handler or simply ladish is a session management system for JACK applications on GNU/Linux. Its aim is to allow you to have many different audio programs running at once, to save their setup, close them down and then easily reload the setup at some other time. ladish doesn't deal with any kind of audio or MIDI data itself; it just runs programs, deals with saving/loading (arbitrary) data and connects JACK ports together. It can also be used to move entire sessions between computers, or post sessions on the Internet for download. ladish has GUI frontend, gladish, based on lpatchage (LADI Patchage) and the ladish_control command line app for headless operation. LADI Tools is set of apps that interface with ladish, JACK server and a2jmidid ladish requires D-Bus and JACK compiled with D-Bus support. LADI Session Handler is rewrite of LASH. Project goals: * Save and restore sets of JACK (audio and MIDI) enabled applications. * Provide JACK clients with virtual hardware ports, so projects can be transfered (or backups restored) between computers running different hardware and backups. * Don't require session handling library to be used. There is no need of such library for restoring connections between JACK clients. * Flow canvas based GUI. Positions of elements on the canvas are saved/restored. * Allow clients to use external storage to save its state. This includes storing internal state to non-filesystem place like memory of a hardware synth. This also includes storing client internal state (client project data) in a way that is not directly bound to ladish project. * Import/export operations, as opposed to save/load. Save/load operate in current system and may cause saving data outside of project itself (external storage). Import/export uses/produces "tarball" suitable for transferring session data over network to other computer or storing it in a backup archive. * Hierarchical or tag-based organization of projects. * List of JACK applications. Applications are always started through ladish to have restored runtime environment closer to one existed before project save. * Distributed studio - network connected computers. Netjack configuration is part of the studio and thus is saved/restored. * Collaborate with the X11 window manager so window properties like window position, virtual desktop and screen (multimonitor) are saved/restored. -- Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: DE1716B0>
