On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to
announce the availability of the next production release of the next
major version of Rivendell, 3.2.0. Rivendell is a full-featured radio
automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast
environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License
version 2.
From the 'NEWS' file:
Changes:
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
Voice Tracker. Added the ability to configure the caption displayed
for the first and third voicetrack waveforms in the Voicetracker
dialog in rdlogedit(1).
Display Fonts. Reworked the font management system to permit the fonts
used in the UI to be specified in rd.conf(5).
Various bug fixes. See the 'ChangeLog' for details.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 311, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.
Be sure to run 'rddbmgr --modify' (as root) immediately after upgrading
to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.

I’m pleased to announce the next public release of GlassCoder, a
minimalist live audio encoder. In addition to streaming to IceCast and
Shoutcast stream aggregators, GlassCoder is capable of generating live
HLS streams and publishing them to any standard HTTP server. It is

From the NEWS file:
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
Dependency Changes. GlassCoder now requires Qt5, OpenSSL and TagLib
libraries. See the 'INSTALL' file for more information.
Metadata Support. Added a JSON-based IPC mechanism for updating timed
metadata. See the 'METADATA' section of the glasscoder(1) man page for
details.
HLS Streaming. Added support for timed metadata on HLS streams, as well

Dear Linux Audio users and developers
I am very proud to announce that MOD Devices is launching its first
crowd-investment campaign at Seedmatch.de as part of our 3rd fundraising
round. Early-bird special conditions are available until Friday,
November 1st, 12h (Central European Time).
The direct link to the campaign is here:
https://www.seedmatch.de/investmentchancen/moddevices
It is an important step to a company that has its roots in Linux Audio.
With the launch of the crowd investment campaign, MOD Devices broadens the
reach of the business itself to a wider audience, enabling the community to
also participate in the profits of the endeavour, diminishing thus the
separation between users and company.
Numbers wise, minimum investments on a traditional fundraising scheme orbit
around 25.000€. The crowd investment scheme drastically reduces this
minimum amount to 250€, making it accessible to a greater number of private
individuals.
Also, due to the nature of crowd based initiatives, there is a higher level
of transparency and due-diligence involved which, just like open source
software, is very healthy for all stakeholders.
Questions can be sent to us at seedmatch(a)moddevices.com or directly at the
Seedmatch campaign page.
Best wishes
Gianfranco Ceccolini - Founder & CEO

I'm delighted to announce new releases (made last Friday) of Sonic Visualiser and two related desktop applications from the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary, University of London:
Version 4.0 of Sonic Visualiser, a free, cross-platform, open source application for viewing and analysing the contents of music audio files, is now available. The main change in this release, and the reason for the major-version bump to 4.0, is the addition of a "boxes" layer used to annotate and export time-frequency regions. (Refer to https://www.sonicvisualiser.org/doc/reference/4.0/en/#boxes for a description of the boxes layer.) See the home page at http://sonicvisualiser.org for more information and downloads.
Version 2.1 of Tony, a free, cross-platform, open source application for high quality pitch and note transcription from solo vocal recordings, is now available. This is what you might call a "consolidation release" - it is almost unchanged from 2.0 in terms of features, but it is updated to fix some compatibility issues that have arisen since 2.0 came out and to prepare the codebase for a future feature release. See the home page at https://www.sonicvisualiser.org/tony/ for more information and downloads.
Version 1.0 of Sonic Lineup, a free, cross-platform, open source application for comparative simultaneous visualisation of multiple audio files containing versions of the same source material, is now available. See the home page at https://www.sonicvisualiser.org/sonic-lineup/ for more information and downloads.

Subject: [Faudiostream-users] Forum Acusticum 2020: Special Session on
Hybrid Acoustical and Digital Musical Instruments
To: faudiostream-users <faudiostream-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net>
[Sorry for cross-posting]
Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a special session on *Hybrid Acoustical and Digital
Musical Instruments* at the next European Acoustics Meeting (*Forum
Acusticum*: https://fa2020.universite-lyon.fr/) which will take place in *Lyon
(France) on April 20-24, 2020*:
---
*Summary of the Session*
Nowadays, physical modeling, increasingly light and powerful embedded
systems, as well as new digital fabrication techniques and sensor
technologies allow us to approach lutherie and musical instrument design in
a completely hybrid way. Digital 3D models can serve both as the source for
a sound synthesizer thanks to physical modeling techniques (i.e., finite
difference scheme, etc.) and can be "materialized" with 3D printing,
blurring the boundary between the physical/acoustical and the
virtual/digital worlds. Embedded systems based on an expending range of
architectures such as microcontrollers, GPUs, FPGAs, microprocessors, etc.
play an important role in this context by providing extended computational
power to run complex models and by offering the possibility to make hybrid
instruments more portable and standalone. Dedicated tools and platforms -
both hardware (e.g., Bela, Owl, smartdevices, etc.) and software (e.g.,
Faust, Kronos, Soul, etc.) - have been developed in recent years to
facilitate the design of such instruments. This adds up to the wide range
of new sensor technologies and specialized commercial interfaces (e.g.,
Sensel Morph, ROLI Seaboard, LinnStrument, etc.) that have been created in
recent years in this field.
In this special session on "Hybrid Acoustical and Digital Musical
Instruments," we invite paper submissions on the following *topics* (not
limiting):
- Programming languages for computer music and real-time signal processing
- Digital sound synthesis and processing
- Physical modeling of musical instruments
- Hardware and embedded platforms for real time DSP
- Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
- New Interfaces for Musical Expression
- New sensor technologies
- Digital fabrication for lutherie and acoustics
- Mobile music

*Abstracts can be submitted* to the following address:
https://fa2020.universite-lyon.fr/fa2020/english-version/navigation/abstrac…
*until Dec. 1, 2019*.
We look forward to see you in Lyon this Spring!
Best,
Romain Michon and Yann Orlarey

DrumGizmo 0.9.18 Released!
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.
This release is primarily a bugfix release but a few new features also
managed to sneak in.
Highlights:
* Sample selection algorithm now behaves a lot better when using a
small sample set.
* Error reporting has been drastically improved when loading
drum-kits.
* Sample normalization option has been added.
As usual read the detailed description of all the new shiny features,
including some audio samples [1].
And now, without further ado, go grab 0.9.18!!! [2]

The end is near! Fortunately only the end of our preparations.
Only four days left until this year's Sonoj Convention.
For the spontaneous among you there is still an opportunity to sign up
and visit. Just enter your name on https://sonoj.org/register.html .
Considering the many mails you've received so far, it can be assumed
that you're currently in Antarctica and therefore can't actually
participate.
Therefore now for the last time (this year):
Please help us finance our non-profit event by donating an amount of
your choice. We accept bank transfers and PayPal:
https://sonoj.org/donate.html
And finally I would be happy to see you during the two days in our video
stream. There will be a chat this year (it already exists), so you can
ask questions and comment.
The stream is on the Sonoj page, or here:
https://streaming.media.ccc.de/sonoj2019
Best regards,
Nils
