[ANN] Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard (VMPK) 0.5.1 has been released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another instrument or MIDI file player. Changes for v0.5.1: * Fixed bug #3599827. No default keyboard shortcuts available in 0.5.0 on fresh installations * Qt5 build compatibility (but not fully functional) Requirements for all platforms: CMake-2.8 and Qt-4.8 or later. Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for questions and comments. Thanks.

Vee One Suite 0.3.1 - One second bug-fix release

by Rui Nuno Capela

hello there, a new batch of the Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments, primarily slated for Linux, featuring synthv1 [1], a polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 [2], a polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 [3], a drum-kit sampler, are on the loose now. as previously, they come in a couple of expressions, such as: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support; - a LV2 instrument plugin. interesting changes for this bug-fix release are: - improved filters parameter sensitivity (cutoff, reso). - envelope generators stage curves now gone a little more old-schooler and analog-like, hopefully improving on the punchy and click-less sound front. - experimental LV2 Time designated port support (Delay BPM). - preparations for Qt5 migration. - sample loop points were missing the LV2 UI state restoration. (samplv1) all are free, open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. enjoy the Carnival!

OT: Network Music Festival // 22-24 February // Birmingham (UK)

by Holger

*Inline image 1* * * *NETWORK MUSIC FESTIVAL // A hi-tech musical weekender* *22-24th FEBRUARY 2012 // BIRMINGHAM (UK)* * * * * *Network Music Festival returns to Birmingham to present a weekend of innovative hi-tech musical performances and installations from local and international artists. * * * After the success of the first *Network Music Festiva*l in January 2012 the festival will return to Birmingham on *22-24th February 2013*. We are working with some of the artists from NMF 2012 to curate what promises to be an exciting and diverse line-up of network artists. Benoît and the Mandelbrots (CO/DE), Wrongheaded (UK), Glitch Lich (UK/USA) and Birmingham’s own network band BiLE have each curated a concert at the weekend long festival. Alongside this, local curator Samuel Rodgers (Consumer Waste) has programmed a sound installation exhibition which addresses the theme of networking. NMF2013 will feature specially invited artists, including audio-visual laptop duo *Alo Allik* (EST) and *Yota Morimoto* (BRA), and artists selected from the festival's Open Call, which received more than 90 proposals from Europe, the Americas and Australia. The festival will take place in venues across Birmingham’s lively arts quarter, Digbeth, with performances and the festival hub located once again at the home of the Friction Arts collective, the newly expanded The Edge warehouse. This year's very special guests are *The Hub* (USA) - considered by many to be the inventors of network music - making a rare visit to the UK. This legendary band first started wiring computers together for live performance in the 1980s and remain a seminal influence for computer music bands today. Other highlights include the live-coding band *Slub* (UK), inventors of the ‘Algorave’: that is, dance music produced using computer algorithms, written live in front of the audience. The festival will also welcome another highly innovative act, *PB_UP* (DE), who were the first laptop band to perform entirely wirelessly. The German group describe themselves as an 'acoustic computer folk band' in that they perform completely 'unplugged,' without any external power or amplification. Contemporary composer *John Eacott* (UK) will present his piece 'Floodtide', which is based on the natural movements of the river Thames. It will see Eacott collect real-time data on the river's tidal movement, which is automatically translated into musical notation, and transmitted via the internet to be performed by a chamber group of classical musicians in Birmingham. The festival will also include a chance to explore the inner-workings of network music with a variety of general interest and specialist talks and workshops - open to all levels of experience. Tickets for NMF 2013 are available now from: http://networkmusicfestival.brownpapertickets.com <http://networkmusicfestival.brownpapertickets.com/>. More information about the festival can be found at the festival website: networkmusicfestival.org <http://networkmusicfestival.org/> or you can follow us on facebook: facebook.com/networkmusicfestival <http://facebook.com/networkmusicfestival> or twitter:@netmusicfest <http://twitter.com/netmusicfest> Network Music Festival // 22-24th February 2013 // The Edge, 79-81 Cheapside, Birmingham, B12 0QH Web: networkmusicfestival.org <http://networkmusicfestival.org/> Twitter: @NetMusicFest <http://twitter.com/netmusicfest> Hashtag: #NMF2013 Facebook: www.facebook.com/networkmusicfestival <http://www.facebook.com/networkmusicfestival> Email: networkmusicfestival(a)gmail.com <mailto:networkmusicfestival@gmail.com> //////////////////////////////// NMF2012 featured over 70 artists from Birmingham’s home-grown talent to UK and international artists from as far afield as USA and Colombia in 5 concerts. They presented a diverse range of performances including live coding, multiple-location performances, trans-atlantic streaming, new instruments for network performance, installations, workshops and talks. The festival was featured on BBC 5 Live’s Outriders program and mentioned in several national and international publications including The Financial Times and The Computer Music Journal. This year is set to feature just as many artists showcasing cutting-edge approaches to high-tech musical performance. Expect a diverse programme of laptop performances, live coding, multi-location performances, communicating home-made musical gadgets, immersive sound installations, interactive workshops and more!

[ANN] Radium V1.9.29

by Kjetil Matheussen

Radium is a music editor with a new and better interface. It's inspired by trackers, but has fewer limitations and uses graphics to show musical data. The advantages of this interface compared to piano rolls (the normal sequencer interface), are that note editing is quicker, and that more musical data fits on the screen. The advantage of this interface compared to trackers, is that note positions and effects are edited graphically, which is both quicker, provides more vertical space, and gives a better musically overview. However, despite it's unusual appearance, it's a design goal for Radium to be straight forward to use, and easy to learn. It should not be harder to learn Radium than any tracker or most midi sequencers. Screenshot: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/pictures/radium-1-9-25.png Homepage: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/ Source code repository: https://github.com/kmatheussen/radium Most important changes 1.9.24 -> 1.9.29: * Revert back to faust's denormal handling. Hopefully fixes crash on CPUs without sse2. * Fix vst plugin memory corruption * System compressor * Compressor and equalizer GUI can be shown/hidden. * Fixed various bugs, etc.

A manuscript submitted for review cannot be already under review for publication elsewhere, or be submitted for a second review elsewhere while under review for NIME 2013. Call for Performances We welcome submission of proposals for performances. Proposed performances should have a clear connection with the substance of the NIME conference. Performance proposals in conjunction with paper submissions are encouraged, but each will be judged on its own merit. Within reasonable limits, we may be able to provide musicians to perform pieces. Typical NIME performance pieces last for 5-15 minutes, but shorter and longer performance proposals may also be taken into consideration. Submitted proposals will be reviewed by an expert committee. Preference will be given to submissions with strong evidence that the proposed performance has already been realized or is technically feasible and within the artists' capabilities. Documentation of the performances will be available online after the conference. Call for Installations NIME 2013 will also provide several locations that can be used to exhibit new music installation work. These are foyer location installations or room-based installations in connection to the conference venues. Submitted proposals will be subject to a peer review process by an international expert committee. Documentation of the installations will be available online after the conference. Call for Workshops We call for short (3 hours) or long (6 hours) workshops and tutorials. These can be targeted towards specialist techniques, platforms, hardware, software or pedagogical topics for the advancement of fellow NIME-ers and people with experience related to the topic. They can also be targeted towards visitors to the NIME community, novices/newbies, interested student participants, people from other fields, and members of the public getting to know the potential of NIME. Tutorial proposers should clearly indicate the audience and assumed knowledge of their intended participants to help us market to the appropriate audience. Workshops and tutorials can relate to, but are not limited to, the topics of the conference. This is a good opportunity to explore a specialized interest or interdisciplinary topic in depth with greater time for discourse, debate, and collaboration.
