Hi All, A new build of Praxis LIVE is now available for download. Praxis LIVE is an open-source, graphical environment for rapid development of intermedia performance tools, projections and interactive spaces. This release brings a range of new features for the video pipeline, OSC control, some major editing improvements (including copy & paste - who knew that would be so difficult to implement! :-) ), and the rather obviously missing stereo sample player, amongst many other tweaks and bug fixes. Praxis LIVE is available as a Linux .deb package, Windows .exe installer and as a .zip for un-installed usage (installed usage is recommended). Website (with downloads and manual) - http://code.google.com/p/praxis Release notes - http://code.google.com/p/praxis/wiki/ReleaseNotes Some of the new features are conspicuously under-documented at the moment. I'll improve this over the next few weeks, but feel free to fire questions via email. Best wishes, Neil -- Neil C Smith Artist : Technologist : Adviser http://neilcsmith.net Praxis LIVE - open-source, graphical environment for rapid development of intermedia performance tools, projections and interactive spaces - http://code.google.com/p/praxis OpenEye - specialist web solutions for the cultural, education, charitable and local government sectors - http://openeye.info

SooperLooper 1.7.0 released

by Kaspar Bumke

Grab the new version on the site: http://essej.net/sooperlooper/download.html CHANGES FOR 1.7.0 GUI: - Fixed SooperLooper being mistakenly identified as remote - Now ignoring non audio and non .slsess files in load and save file selection dialogues - Mute now flashes when waiting to go into mute instead of rev flashing - Mute of others flashes instead of solo flashing when going in and out of solo - Fixed CC bindings for commands that need to be registered as hits - MIDI bindings choice now sorted alphabetically - File selector now defaults to home and tracks last load/save - Removed arbitrary maximum loop memory limit in Add Custom Loop... - Fixed issue of some controls not showing up when you have more than 5 loops SooperLooper engine: - Fixed issue of not being able to load audio files from session when not started from the same directory - Fixed fade not working after undo_all - Removed 1 sample click in multiply - Fixed individual loop monitor not being sent to main-out - Fixed toggle MIDI bindings requiring double press when first loaded - Fixed some clicks when undoing - Added CCon and CCoff message types to midi bindings - Can now mute and un-mute when loop is in Off state - Fixed bug where long-presses were causing undo-all when they weren't supposed to OSC: - OSC Auto Update time can now be set between 10-100ms - "osc.udp://" can be omitted from the return URL parameter of any OSC message - SooperLooper no longer seg-faults when an invalid return URL is given AU: - State and waiting AU parameters now working - Fixed parameter update race condition, so values reflect newly changed state - There are now up to 8 stereo sidechain outputs available (individual outputs for each loop), but for some reason still only 4 stereo inputs available (at least as shown within Live)... it isn't clear why there are fewer input buses, it might be a Live limitation. Others: - Small maintenance on help output, OSC doc file and indentation, spelling etc. - HTML docs on website now include full MIDI command reference

Yoshimi 1.1.0

by Jeremy Jongepier

Dear all, There she is, Yoshimi 1.1.0! Looking better than ever, working better than ever, capable of doing more than ever. Simply put, better than ever. Made possible by the much appreciated and very valuable help, contributions and feedback from the Linux Audio community. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/yoshimi/yoshimi-1.1.0.tar.bz2 For this release I'd like to thank the following people in particular but in no particular order: * Kristian Amlie for making Yoshimi less CPU hungry. * Andrew Deryabin for making Yoshimi a little more CPU hungry again, but for a good reason, Yoshimi now has per part JACK outputs! * Nikita Zlobin for having Yoshimi handle state files better. * Florian Dupeyron for his custom best of My?terious bank. * Will J. Godfrey for his continuous testing and monitoring of new developments. * Alessandro Preziosi for Yoshimi's lovely new knobs. * David Adler for the AZERTY virtual keyboard support. * Rob Couto for the helpful insights and general help. * Alan Calvert. Best regards, Jeremy Jongepier
