[ANNOUNCE] aj-snapshot-0.9.6 has been released

by Lieven Moors

Hi all, I would like to announce the release of aj-snapshot-0.9.6 aj-snapshot is a command line utility to store/restore ALSA and/or JACK connections to/from an XML file. The most important change in this release is that aj-snapshot behaves differently in daemon mode. In the previous version ALSA connections were restored continually, and JACK connections whenever the connection graph had changed. In this version, aj-snapshot will restore connections once when it is started, and after that when new ports are registered in ALSA or JACK. You can specify (in milliseconds) how often aj-snapshot will poll for newly registered ports (-p --poll ms). The default is 1 second. This means that you have a lot more freedom to change the connections while the daemon is running, and gives you the opportunity to save (and maybe reload) a new connection state. Other changes include: - added manual file - rewrite of aj-snapshot.c to make it more readable and maintainable, and to have less code repetition. As always, there will be bugs, and I would be very grateful if you would report them on the sourceforge site. direct download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/aj-snapshot/files/aj-snapshot-0.9.5.tar.bz2… aj-snapshot website: http://aj-snapshot.sourceforge.net/ bug tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=311291&atid=1310488 feature requests: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=311291&atid=1310491 to clone the git repository: git clone git://gitorious.org/aj-snapshot/aj-snapshot.git Hope you enjoy, lievenmoors

QMidiArp 0.5.0 released

by Frank Kober

Dear friends, this is the 0.5.0 release of QMidiArp. As a major new feature, it brings a parameter storage and switch center. You can now store parameters, sequences and waveforms of all modules together, and recall them all at once or individually by mouse click or MIDI CC. The recall behaviour can be adjusted to take place either at the end of a chosen module pattern or after a given number of beats. This adds some more versatility to QMidiArp as a handy Live tool. But you can hide away the control panel if you don't need it...It's an Arp and step sequencer after all. And yes there are also some big and small bugs fixed, and surely some new to discover! Regards Frank --------------------------- Downloads, documentation and more are here: http://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net --------------------------- qmidiarp-0.5.0 (2012-03-24) New Features o New global storage handler allows storing and switching of parameters and patterns between different storage locations. The restore switch can be triggered after a specified module reaches its pattern end or after a full number of beats. Switch can be done for a specific module only or for all modules globally. o Storage switches can be done by MIDI controller. The controller value specifies the storage location. o A new Legato option permits module triggering also by notes played legato. Fixed Bugs o ALSA backend had become unstable in version 0.4.4 by some direct function calls across threads. o LFO waveform display didn't get updated during recording o LFO recording caused restarting/triggering when it shouldn't o Seq cloning led to crashes under certain conditions

xwax 1.2 release

by Mark Hills

I'm pleased to announce the 1.2 release of xwax -- DJ software for Linux. http://xwax.org/ http://xwax.org/releases/xwax-1.2.tar.gz This release adds xwax's first MIDI controller; the major changes are: * Scan directories only for known file extensions * Support Novation 'Dicer' controller * Cue points, including 'punch' feature * Extra protection against skips: optionally lock memory into RAM 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

gst123-0.3.0

by Stefan Westerfeld

gst123-0.3.0 has been released. Overview of changes in gst123-0.3.0: ------------------------------------ * Support visualization plugins during audio playback (Issue 3). * Fix compilation for GNU/Hurd (Issue 7). What is gst123? --------------- The program gst123 is designed to be a more flexible command line player in the spirit of ogg123 and mpg123, based on gstreamer. It plays all file formats gstreamer understands, so if you have a music collection which contains different file formats, like flac, ogg and mp3, you can use gst123 to play all your music files. Since gst123-0.1.0 support for watching videos has been added; however gst123 should run fine in situations where no X11 display is available; videos can be played without X11 display, too (-x, --novideo); in this case, only the audio stream will be played. It is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2 Links: ------ Website: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/gst123.php Download: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/gst123/gst123-0.3.0.tar.bz2 -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan

Fwd: sc2012 club finale announced - boxcutter

by Dan S

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: SuperCollider Symposium London <info(a)sc2012.org.uk> Hi all, April sees the SuperCollider Symposium 2012, an international collision of programming and audio. We can now announce the Wednesday club finale will be an audiovisual extravaganza headlined by BOXCUTTER. Boxcutter’s continuously shape-shifting sound has long flowed beyond the bounds of what we call dubstep. His lead-heavy missives share the cross-over appeal of Burial or Vex’d, whilst keeping a foot firmly in the more electronically-founded margins of the genre. Boxcutter will headline the SuperCollider Club night at Corsica Studios, evolving his live bass and electronics set on their famously gorgeous sound system. Also providing live beats is NY/Berlin legend Timeblind, as well as Mexican party duo Mico Rex, and Louis Mac premiering his PortaDJ machine. But it’s not all about beats: this midweek extravaganza also features mind-altering audiovisual performances from Japan’s Craftwife, Berlin’s Fredrik Olofsson and Brighton’s Chris Kiefer. It all takes place Wed 18th April, 8pm–1:30am, at Corsica Studios (Elephant & Castle tube). Tickets are £5 advance, more on the door. (Or included in the full-week symposium ticket.) Spread the word. website: http://www.sc2012.org.uk/ facebook: http://www.facebook.com/events/325748604145008/ sc2012

Mixer4: no license needed

by Grekim

Hi folks, I apologize for confusion over Linux users possibly needing a license. The binary I posted yesterday does not need a license code to run, and just now I posted a new version that removes a license warning. SInce the program is running on other operating systems as well, I may charge Mac or Windows users a small fee for use. For Linux users, in the spirit of this wonderful environment, I intended to have a (free) license as a way of keeping in touch with who is using the software and provide users with updates. So if you eventually use the software and enjoy it please send me an email so I can keep you updated and hear your suggestions. Thanks, Grekim Jennings
