NeuralRack is a Neural Model and Impulse Response File loader for Linux/Windows available as Stand alone application, and in the Clap, LV2 and vst2 plugin format. It supports [*.nam files](https://www.tone3000.com/search?tags=103) and, or [*.json or .aidax files](https://www.tone3000.com/search?tags=23562) by using the [NeuralAudio](https://github.com/mikeoliphant/NeuralAudio) engine. For Impulse Response File Convolution it use [FFTConvolver](https://github.com/HiFi-LoFi/FFTConvolver) Resampling is done by [Libzita-resampler](https://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/zita-resam… New in this release: - fix issue with higher Sample Rate based Models (resampling) - implement Parameter handling with the Host in the Clap plugin format. Neuralrack allow to load up to two model files and run them serial. The input/output could be controlled separate for each model. For tone sharping a 6 band EQ could be enabled. Additional it allow to load up a separate Impulse Response file for each output channel (stereo). Neuralrack provide a buffered Mode which introduce a one frame latency when enabled. It could move one Neural Model, or the complete processing into a background thread. That will reduce the CPU load when needed. The resulting latency will be reported to the host so that it could be compensated.

MMA 25.04 Released

by Bob van der Poel

A stable release, version 25.05, of MMA--Musical MIDI Accompaniment is available for downloading. In addition to a number of bug fixes, documentation reviews and optimizations, MMA now features: Fixed the docs for the COPY and COPYTO commands. There never was a COPYTO command! TO and FROM are extensions to the COPY command. Opps. Added system variable $_PWD. This returns the current working directory just like the unix pwd command. An empty argument for DRUM TONE resulted in a infinite loop. Fixed. Added a bit of verbosity to the error message generated when defining a TONE or VOICE by a message if you have confused constants for the two. Added a ERROR command. Text after the error is displayed and compilation stops. Changed the parser so that when setting the scale offset to use with bass patterns - and/or + can be placed before the digit(s) as well as after. Fixed errors in the documentation build. RPITCH: Fixed some minor coding errors; added the BEATS option (very useful!). An error in common.py caused random crashes due to an undefined escape sequence. Several minor documentation tweaks and fixes. Please read the file text/CHANGES-25 for a complete list of changes. MMA is a accompaniment generator -- it creates midi tracks for a soloist to perform with. User supplied files contain pattern selections, chords, and MMA directives.
