[LAA] spectmorph-0.3.2

by Stefan Westerfeld

spectmorph-0.3.2 has been released. Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.3.2: ---------------------------------------- * Added new unison effect. * New instruments: pan-flute, synth-saw. * UI improvements: - support operator folding (to preserve screen space) - provide scrollbar if morph plan window height is large - repair operator move * VST plugin crash fixed. * No longer depend on BEAST/Rapicorn - use libsndfile for sound file I/O, added WavData API - refactoring, move libnobse code into SpectMorph * Add icon/.desktop file for smjack * Added debian package support. * LPC/LSF morphing code updates - but now disabled by default What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be combined using morphing. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3 Integrating SpectMorph into your Work ------------------------------------- In order to make music that contains SpectMorph, you currently need to use Linux. There are four ways of integrating SpectMorph sounds into music you create: - LV2 Plugin, for any sequencer that supports it. - VST Plugin, especially for proprietary solutions that don't support LV2. - JACK Client. - BEAST Module, integrating into BEASTs modular environment. Note that at this point, we may still change the way sound synthesis works, so newer versions of SpectMorph may sound (slightly) different than the current version. Links: ------ Website: http://www.spectmorph.org Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads/spectmorph-0.3.2.tar.bz2 There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing between instruments. -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan

[LAA] DrumGizmo v0.9.13 released

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng

DrumGizmo version 0.9.13 now available! Get it at http://www.drumgizmo.org/ DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup. Included in this release is: * Diskstreaming support, so you no longer need huge amounts of memory to run it, even with the big drumkits. * A completely new and redesigned plugin UI. * And for the hardcore FreeBSD users: OSS support! We know a lot of you have been waiting for diskstreaming to be implemented, so please help us out by giving it a thorough test. We're interested in hearing about your experiences with it, especially on low memory setups with slower HDD's. Any comments and / or bug reports can be directed to us on IRC, Freenode, #drumgizmo. Or feel free to ask at the official DrumGizmo forum[1]. For the full list of changes, check the roadmap for 0.9.13 [2]. And now, without further ado, go grab 0.9.13!!! [3]. Important note to package maintainers: Since version 0.9.11 we copy vst source files into the build tree while building the vst plugin. This mean that should you wish to make a tar-ball available with the build directory after the build has finished this must either be stripped of said files or not be made public.
