ANN: faust-lv2 0.1 released

by Albert Graef

(Sorry for crossposting.) faust-lv2 is an LV2 architecture for the Faust programming language (http://faust.grame.fr/), which lets you compile Faust programs to LV2 plugins ready to be used with any LV2 host. It supports both effect (audio->audio) and instrument (midi->audio) plugins. The package includes the Faust LV2 architecture files, a few Faust examples, and generic waf scripts for building and installing the sample plugins. faust-lv2 can be downloaded from its project website at http://faust-lv2.googlecode.com. Here's the direct download link to the source tarball: http://faust-lv2.googlecode.com/files/faust-lv2-0.1.tar.bz2 Documentation is available in the package (README file) and on the website (http://wiki.faust-lv2.googlecode.com/hg/doc/_build/html/index.html). This includes detailed installation and usage instructions. faust-lv2 0.1 is the initial release which has been tested on x86_64 Linux with jalv, Ardour3 and Qtractor, using lilv as the LV2 host library. You'll also need fairly recent versions of Faust (0.9.46 or later should do) and the LV2 framework (available at http://lv2plug.in/). Other LV2 hosts should work as well. Unfortunately, that doesn't include zynjacku/lv2rack right now, apparently because of some bugs or incompatibilities with the latest LV2 release. Nedko, maybe you could check https://gna.org/bugs/?19282 some time, thanks. :) Enjoy! :) Albert -- Dr. Albert Gr"af Dept. of Music-Informatics, University of Mainz, Germany Email: Dr.Graef(a)t-online.de, ag(a)muwiinfa.geschichte.uni-mainz.de WWW: http://www.musikinformatik.uni-mainz.de/ag

NASPRO 0.4.0 released

by Stefano D'Angelo

Hi all, I'm glad to announce the release of NASPRO 0.4.0. NASPRO (http://naspro.atheme.org/) is meant to be a cross-platform sound processing software architecture built around the LV2 plugin standard (http://lv2plug.in/). The goal of the project is to develop a series of tools to make it easy and convenient to use LV2 for sound processing on any (relevant) platform and for everybody: end users, host developers, plugin developers, distributors and scientists/researchers. This release is a huge one! The main news are the introduction of the ino and gino libraries and of the FreeADSP application, the addition of threading and unnamed semaphore APIs to NASPRO core, as well as some API breakage there w.r.t. UTF-16 string encoding/decoding, some fixing of preset data generation in NASPRO Bridge it and various cosmetic changes here and there. You can find detailed ChangeLogs in the tarballs. It includes: - NASPRO core: the portable runtime library at the bottom of the architecture; - NASPRO Bridge it: a little helper library to develop insert-your-API-here to LV2 bridges; - NASPRO bridges: a collection of bridges to LV2 which, once installed, allow you to use plugins developed for other plugin standards in LV2 hosts; - LV2proc: a simple command line effect processor using LV2 plugins; - ino and ino/JavaScriptCore: minimalist C API to execute JavaScript code and to expose native methods to JavaScript execution contexts + JavaScriptCoreGTK+ 2/3 based implementations; - gino and gino/WebKitGTK+: minimalist C API to create GUIs using HTML/CSS/JavaScript and interfacing them with C code + WebKitGTK+2 implementation. - FreeADSP: MIDI-controlled real-time stereo effect rack using LV2 plugins. In particular, the NASPRO bridges collection includes two bridges: a LADSPA (http://www.ladspa.org/) 1.1 and a DSSI (http://dssi.sourceforge.net/) 1.0.0/1.1.0 bridge. *BEWARE*: most of the new stuff is in early stages of development! NASPRO core, NASPRO Bridge it and NASPRO bridges are released under the LGPL 2.1, LV2proc and FreeADSP are released under the GPL 3, ino, ino/JavaScriptCore, gino and gino/WebKitGTK+ are released under an ISC-style license. Enjoy!

xwax 1.1 release

by Mark Hills

I'm pleased to announce the 1.1 release of xwax -- DJ software for Linux. http://www.xwax.co.uk/ http://www.xwax.co.uk/releases/xwax-1.1.tar.gz On the surface this is a minor update, since v1.0: * Bug fix: incorrect display of track time remaining * Instant loading of duplicate tracks * Optionally protect decks during playback * Improvements to music selector * Increase speed building look-up tables 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 focus is on an accurate vinyl feel which is efficient, stable and fast. -- Mark

QMidiArp-0.4.3 released

by Frank Kober

Here it is, a new QMidiArp version has arrived! The main new features are JACK MIDI, which is the default backend now, JACK Session support, and a new in-sequence loop marker that can be used to bounce the play direction or to loop at a mouse-clicked position in the sequence. Note that you can still get the alsa backend by starting with qmidiarp -a . The full list of noticeable changes is below. Thanks again to all having reported ideas and bugs and given their support. Masters of the step sequencer, Enjoy! ----------- Feedback as usual to qmidiarp-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net or on the IRC #qmidiarp Website with documentation: http://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net ----------- New Features o Groove functions now work for all modules, not only Arps o Effect of groove settings is displayed in the Arp/LFO/Seq screen o LFOs can be triggered and restarted by the keyboard o When reducing the size of LFO waves or Sequences, the original data is kept in memory and is also saved to the session file as a whole o LFO and Seq play direction can now be chosen, and bouncing loops are possible o New user positionable loop marker in Seq module. The marker is placed by left or right mouse click on the bottom cursor line of the sequencer and represents an additional return/loop point. It can be removed again by clicking in the bottom left or right area of the Seq screen. o Triggered one-shot play of LFO and Seqs improved o JACK MIDI backend available. This is now default, use the -a option for getting the ALSA backend o JACK Session support when using JACK MIDI backend Fixed Bugs o A rounding error led to desync when Arps were used with groove shift o MIDI controls for Groove did not initialize upon "New..." o MIDI Controllers assigned to multiple destinations stopped at the first one encountered and ignored all others General Changes o JACK MIDI is now the default backend, -a option enables ALSA backend o Obsolete .qma text file import removed
