jMax Phoenix 0.7 beta released

by Maurizio De Cecco

I just upload to the sourceforge site (http://jmax-phoenix.sourceforge.net/) the binaries for jMax Phoenix 0.7. This release include the recent work on restructuring the DSP engine, and provide the results of some optimization work; the performance increase is (on my core i7 sandy bridge) of around 3 times for Mac OS X and 2 times under Linux, for patches that has a typical mix of simple and complex DSP objects; simple DSP objects run around 4 time faster than before. (also, if you used … [View More]

spectmorph-0.2.0

by Stefan Westerfeld

spectmorph-0.2.0 has been released. This is the first version that supports sound morphing, and some really interesting sounds can be created with this version; there are examples on the web page. Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.2.0: ---------------------------------------- * implemented user defined morphing using a MorphPlan consisting of operators - graphical representation of the operators - graphical editing of the MorphPlan - implement actual morphing (in per-operator per-voice … [View More]module object) - added MorphPlanSynth/MorphPlanVoice, which allow running MorphPlan's easily - added LPC (linear prediction) during encoding, and LPC/LSF based morphing * BEAST plugin: - added GUI required for editing a MorphPlan - support four output channels, as well as two control inputs - delay compensation plugin (to compensate SpectMorph delay) * JACK client: - support GUI MorphPlan editing * added sminspector (graphical tool for displaying SpectMorph instruments) - zoomable time/frequency view - configurable (FFT/CWT/LPC) time/frequency view transform parameters - spectrum, sample, LPC visualization - graphical loop point editing - allow storing changes in .smset files (for editing loop points) - play support via JACK * improved smtool (old name: smextract); its now installed by default - lots of new commands (like "total-noise", "auto-volume", ...) - support .smset as input (in addition to .sm); command is executed on all .sm files in the .smset * added shared libraries for gui and jack code * new integrated memory leak debugger (to find missing delete's) * support ping-pong loops * doxygen API docs updates * migrated man pages from Doxer to testbit.eu wiki (and use wikihtml2man.py) * performance improvements What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. Also interpolating between two samples of the same instrument (different attack velocity of a piano) could be interesting. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3 SpectMorph is still under development. This means: * the fileformat is not yet stable - instruments or morph plans may not work with newer versions of SpectMorph * the algorithms for synthesizing sounds are still under development - newer versions may sound different To sum it up: if you compose music using SpectMorph, don't expect newer versions to be compatible in any way. Links: ------ Website: http://www.spectmorph.org Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads/spectmorph-0.2.0.tar.bz2 There are many sound samples on the website, which test morphing between instruments. -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan [View Less]

TYOQA: Qtractor 0.5.0 - The Alpha Zulu awakening!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Howdy! TYOQA (the year of qtractor automation for the clueless) is now pretty real. I'd say it's all been my my prerogative, again and again, doing things my own way (do I hear Frank S. singing? nope. move along...). Is this the time to do the unthinkable? Should I tag it as beta now? Should I? There's one single reason for not doing so and a couple of others to make it through: 1. basically it's all the same functionality that stays put or improved in a few spots; 2. it just feels like … [View More]it! :) Now comes the mighty corrosive one: I'll be off on vacation soon. Summer is waiting for me. And I just hate to miss that kind of deadline. Woohoo! Is there anything else to mention? Go ahead, make your day: Qtractor 0.5.0 (alpha zulu) is now released! Release highlights: * TYOQA! Audio/MIDI track and plugin parameter automation (NEW) * MIDI controller catch-up behavior (NEW) * All zooming in/out relative to views center (NEW) * Audio gain/panning smoothing changes (FIX) Happy summer 2 y'all! Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: - source tarball: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.0.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 11.4): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.0-3.rncbc.suse114.sr… - binary packages (openSUSE 11.4): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.0-3.rncbc.suse114.i5… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.0-3.rncbc.suse114.x8… - from the dusty shelf: user manual (anyone?): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.3.0-user-manual.pdf Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - MIDI controller learn/catch-up sees the way in: MIDI controller changes are now only effective after catching-up with their respective program parameters, avoiding abrupt jumps and keeping a safe and continuous behavior. - Track/Height menu is now featured, giving access to Increase, Decrease or Reset the current track height. - All changes to audio gain and panning on tracks and buses are now applied following a piece-wise linear ramp, reducing the old nasty clicks, pops or zipper artifacts that might be awfully audible on some situations, most specially on automation. - All zooming in/out is now relative to either the viewport center or current mouse cursor position if found laying inside. - TYOQA! the underground sources have emerged:... after years in the making, track automation, or dynamic curves as some like to call, is finally a reality, tricky but real ;) - Audio clip anti-glitch/ramp-smoothing effect is now slightly independent of current buffer-size period (mitigating bug #3338113 effect). - Once buried under the Edit menu, Clip menu has been finally promoted to top main menu. - Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads. - Fixed muted loop playback on audio clips ending coincidentally with the loop-turn/end point. - Old/deprecated JACK port latency support added to audio recording latency compensation. - Audio clip merge/export lock-ups now untangled (fixes bug #3308998). - LV2 extension headers update. - Fixed configure of newer LV2 host implementation stack (LILV) when older (SLV2) is not present. Enjoy && Cheers! -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org [View Less]

Grainmap 0.1 Released

by Caleb Reach

Hi all, I am pleased to announce the first release of grainmap. ABOUT ----- Grainmap splits an audio file at onsets and displays each slice as a region on a map. Nearby regions on the map correspond to audio slices that are nearby in time. Colors are chosen so that each region can be visually distinguished from its neighbors. Once an audio file is loaded, clicking on a region causes the corresponding audio slice to play forward and backward continuously. Dragging the mouse across the map … [View More]
