The first unified LV2 release, LV2 1.0.0, is out. This release merges the previous lv2core package with all the official extension packages, as well as example plugins, lv2specgen, and additional data. From a developer point of view, the biggest change is that all LV2 API headers can be used by simply checking for the single pkg-config package "lv2" (for compatibility the previous "lv2core" package is still installed). Implementations are encouraged to abandon the "copy paste headers" practice and depend on this package instead. With this release, several new extensions have become stable that together greatly increase the power of LV2: atom, log, parameters, patch, port-groups, port-props, resize-port, state, time, worker.

RPi uses a small USB soundcard and a Modern Device shield which is supported out-of-box via pd-l2ork to provide 10 digital I/Os (with PWM), and 8 analog inputs (via MCP3008). Professors Ivica Ico Bukvic and Aki Ishida are excited to announce the public opening of our newest collaborative installation *Cloud*. The first weekend in October, a constellation of fifty light- and sound-emitting *cloudlets* that make up the *Cloud* will fill the central space of Welburn Square in Ballston, Virginia. This networked artwork is an interactive project, built and programmed in community workshops led by the artist team. After it is placed in the square, it will take on a life of its own as the*cloudlets* communicate with each other and its environment by exchanging messages of light and sound. Come immerse yourselves in the *Cloud <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=36883755&msgid=347875&act=X0IQ&c=…>* ! *Between Thursday, October 2 and Saturday, October 4*, the *Cloud* will be at Welburn Square, 901 N Taylor St, Arlington, VA Map <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=36883755&msgid=347875&act=X0IQ&c=…> Come participate in the Raspberry Pi programming and Cloudlet placing community workshop on Thursday October 2 from 9am to 5pm (see here <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=36883755&msgid=347875&act=X0IQ&c=…> to sign up for remaining spots in the workshop).

Yoshimi 1.2.4

by Will Godfrey

Yes it's up there now :) The most noticeable change from a user point of view is that individual part outputs (corresponding to channel sends on a hardware mixer) are no longer affected by the main volume control. The panel window has also been updated to reflect this situation, and red 'clip' bars have been added. The accuracy of peak and clip indication has been improved and decay times increased to give a smoother, clearer response. There are the usual crop of small refinements and bugfixes under the hood. At the moment Sourceforge is still showing 1.2.3 as the latest version, although 1.2.4 is there at the top of the 'files' list. This happened once before and can't remember what the solution was. Has anyone else had this happen? http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi/ -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
