[LAA] Vee One Suite 0.6.0 - A third official beta release!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Howdy, Once again, the 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments, featuring a 'gang of three' made of synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 [3] as a drum-kit sampler, are being released into the wild as in so called 'beta' phase. Changes for this one third beta release are as follows: - MIDI bank-select/program-changes is now supported, for patch, preset and/or instrument program control. - New Help/Configure dialog is introduced for editing the also new MIDI bank/programs interface and user preference options as well (new home of the old Help/Use native dialogs option). - Presets may now be specified by base name, as an alternative to the complete preset file-path on command line argument (re. stand-alone JACK client). - Fixed parameters A/B comparison swap. As usual, all made available in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK [4] client with JACK-session, NSM [5] (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA [6] MIDI input support; - a LV2 [7] instrument plug-in. The Vee One Suite are free and open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [8] version 2 or later. Details are dumped below, business as usual ;) * synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] * synthv1 0.6.0 (third official beta) has been released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

[LAA] ICAD 2015 - call for submission

by Visda Goudarzi

Dear all, (With apologies for cross posting, please distribute!) This is a reminder that the call for participation for ICAD15 is currently open. http://icad15.iem.at Call for Papers, Posters, Extended Abstracts, Music, Installations, and Workshops - ICAD 2015 ICAD in Space: Interactive Spatial Sonification The 21st International Conference on Auditory Display July 6 - 7 Workshops and Student Think Tank July 8 - 10 Conference University of Music and Performing Arts and Technical University of Graz, Austria. The conference is organised by the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM). IEM is one of the leading institutions in the field of audio engineering and computer music. As part of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, IEM is a multidisciplinary institution, whose general mission is to bridge the gap between science and the arts. As a unique characteristic, IEM focuses on sonification as part of its research in computer music. IEM facilities include laboratories and performance spaces such as CUBE, which are equipped with spatial audio and motion tracking systems. Since 2014, IEM hosts the Sonic Interaction Design (SID) lab, in which interactive sound systems are designed and evaluated. ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary conference with relevance to researchers, practitioners, artists, and graduate students working with sound to convey and explore information. The conference is unique in its specific focus on auditory displays and the range of interdisciplinary issues related to their use. Like its predecessors, ICAD15 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements. In addition to ICAD's core interests, we would like to take the opportunity of the conference being held at IEM to highlight this yearʼs theme ICAD in Space: Sonification, Sonic Interaction Design, and Spatial Audio. ::::::::::::::::: KEY DATES ::::::::::::::::: 15 February 2015 Submission of Papers, Posters, Music, and Installations 15 March 2015 Submission of Workshops 15 April 2015 Submission of Extended Abstracts 15 April 2015 Notification of acceptance for Workshops 01 May 2015 Notification of acceptance for Papers, Posters, Music, and Installations 15 May 2015 Notification of acceptance for Extended Abstracts 01 June 2015 Camera-Ready deadline ::::::::::::::::: AREAS OF INTEREST ::::::::::::::::: Relevant areas for ICAD include but are not limited to: Auditory Display: - Aesthetics, Culture, & Philosophy - Design, Theory & Methods - Technology: Tools & Applications - Perceptual and Cognitive Aspects - Usability & Evaluation - Accessibility Special Focus of ICAD15: - Sonification: - Exploration of Data through Sound - Sonification as Art - Sonic Interaction Design - Interaction design - Input technologies - Auditory Information Design - Spatial Audio - Binaural virtual acoustics - Loudspeaker-based sound field synthesis Accepted papers will be included in the published proceedings and made publicly available in the Georgia Tech SMARTech system (http:// smartech.gatech.edu/). The types of submissions solicited for ICAD15 include: ::::::::::::::::: PAPERS AND POSTERS::::::::::::::::: Paper and poster submissions will be 4-8 pages in length, including all figures and references. Typical paper contributions are between 6 - 8 pages, and typical poster contributions are 4 - 5 pages long. Full papers should describe work that offers a substantial contribution to the field of auditory display. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to give an oral presentation of their work, and at least one author must present the work at the conference for the paper to appear in the proceedings. Poster submissions should describe both finished work and work in late stages of progress. Work that is complete enough that meaningful conclusions can be drawn at the time of submission are encouraged. Authors of accepted submissions will be invited to participate in a poster and/or demonstration session, and at least one author must present the work at the conference for the paper to appear in the published proceedings. When weighing the decision to submit to poster and demonstration sessions, we encourage authors to consider their work in relation to the potential positive benefits (both to authors and their audiences) afforded by the personal interactions that occur in this type of session. Authors of selected full papers will be invited to submit an extended version (up to 12 pages) of their papers for publication in a Special Issue of the Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces (JMUI): Auditory Display. (http:// www.springer.com/computer/hci/journal/12193) ::::::::::::::::: EXTENDED ABSTRACTS ::::::::::::::::: Extended abstracts include, but are not limited to late-breaking results, works in early stages of progress, novel methodologies, unique or controversial theoretical positions, and discussions of unsuccessful research or null findings. Submissions for extended abstracts require a proceedings paper of up to 2 pages in length. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to give a short presentation of their work, and at least one author must present the work at the conference for the abstract to appear in the published proceedings. The deadline of the extended abstracts is later to allow very recent contributions in the field. Papers Co-Chairs Visda Goudarzi and Areti Andreopoulou papers.icad15(a)iem.at ::::::::::::::::: MUSIC AND INSTALLATIONS::::::::::::::::: We invite submissions of music and sound installations. Sonification should be a constitutive element of the proposed works. Priority will be given to works employing space and interaction as additional dimensions to an artistic data exploration. We therefore especially encourage the submission of multichannel electroacoustic or acousmatic pieces and interactive sound installations. The works will be reviewed by an international panel of sound and sonification experts. Preference will be given to submissions that are technically feasible and have a clear documentation of the setup. At least one of the authors who wish to have their works presented at ICAD15 must register and attend to the conference. As we would like to extend the presentation of these works beyond the time limits of the conference, authors of accepted works are encouraged to present their work also online using the Research Catalogue (http://www.researchcatalogue.net), an international database for artistic research. The conference page will provide a portal to these presentations. Music Co-Chairs Johannes Zmölnig and Gerhard Eckel music.icad15(a)iem.at ::::::::::::::::: WORKSHOPS :::::::::::::::: ICAD workshops and tutorials provide in-depth opportunities for conference attendees to discuss and explore important topics in the field of auditory display with like-minded researchers and practitioners. Please submit concepts for hands-on workshops or discussion platforms, possibly allowing participants to contribute, but no paper sessions on their own. Focus areas can range from applications and programming methodologies to interdisciplinary research skills, emerging concepts, and challenge problems. Space, facilities, technical support, and the number of sessions that can be accepted are limited, so early submission of proposals is encouraged. Workshop and tutorial organizers are expected to collaborate with the conference committee, issue calls for participation, gather and review contributed materials (if appropriate), and decide upon the final program for their session. Workshop Co-Chairs Franz Zotter and Derek Brock workshop.icad15(a)iem.at ::::::::::::::::: SONIFICATION CONTEST :::::::::::::::: The call for the Sonification Contest will be released in early 2015. ::::::::::::::::: STUDENT THINK TANK :::::::::::::::: The call for the Student Think Tank will be released in early 2015.

[LAA] OSC2MIDI utility, version 0.0.00_beta!

by Spencer Jackson

Hi all: My project of the last few months is probably ready to set free on some more machines. OSC2MIDI is a flexible osc <-> midi bridge written in C and designed especially for control of jack midi apps from an android device. It was created with the open source android app Control (OSC + MIDI) in mind, since thats what I use, but was deliberately designed so that one can specify any arbitrary mapping of messages for conversion with plain text files. The default mapping works with well with Control but I also have included maps for adrosc, touchosc, and generic osc messages. Mapping is (in my opinion) extensively documented in the map file default.omm included with the source so you can quickly create your own map to suit your own needs. Please give it a whirl if you are interested and leave feedback on the sourceforge project page (discussion for questions, tickets for issues). I'll let it sit at beta for a bit. Once I clear out any initial bugs (or miraculously none are found) I'll take off the beta status. Get it at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/osc2midi/ Follow the README for installation help, or if stuck, please reach out to me. Enjoy! _ssj71 note: as for the ambitious version number (0.0.00) I see no point in version numbering before release of a one-man project. :) If it scares you feel free to rename the folder with a larger number. Once a few bug reports come in it will grow.

[LAA] MusE 2.2 released

by Robert Jonsson

MusE 2.2 - 2015-01-06 Hi All! Following our plan of making monthly releases. Ah, I mean yearly releases... Well, actually, it's been nearly two years since last stable release. Sorry. Here we are anyway with a new release of MusE, and we think it's a good one! Since last we have moved to github and Andrew has joined the team to, among other things implement LV2 support, which he has done excellently. We are quite happy with the current state and music has been recorded with MusE like never before, some demonstrations are listed below. Major feature improvements of this release includes: * Support for LV2 Synths and effects - effects are supported both in Effect rack and in Arranger - State interface - Worker interface. - Instance-access. - KX studio Programs interface + extended programs interface to support per-channel bank/patch change (only Yoshimi now supports this feature). - Common must-have features: Atom, buf-size, event, options, uri-map, urid. + Other extensions: CV type lv2 ports + LV2_TIME__Position + Atom_Event_Transfer support for plugin<->UI communication + LV2 path MAP and MAKE extensions + LV2 LOG extension - UI interface. Supported UI subtypes: + QT4 + GTK2 + GTKMM2 + X11 + External interfaces (from kx studio specs). + idle callbacks * Yet another MAJOR audio engine and plugin/synth process chain re-write - Track controllers (vol, pan) now sample-accurate and near noise-less Numerous bug fixes and minor enhancements: - Metronome with accent clicks and replaceable clicks - Synths rearranged in separate menus - Reworked the PluginDialog to use a ui file and give more filter possibilities - Added [HOME] button to file open dialog - Ignore undo/redo while recording - Fix crash reported by LakeIshikawa: Pressing delete while clicking or dragging events or parts - Fixed copy/paste problem: Paste copies not clones, if the original parts/tracks have been deleted. - More commands support Undo/Redo, like setting global tempo. - Some new scripts, RemoveAftertouch, TempoDelay - Fix song not 'dirty' on many operations (close was not prompting to save). - Instrument Editor now basically complete: Added Initialization Sequence editor. - Sysex event editor now allows selection from pre-defined Instrument Sysex list. - Revised and edited Roland SD-50.idf by Patrick (split into GM2/nonGM2). - MusE now imports GM2 midi files. (Properly selects GM2 instrument.) - Added a visual metronome to Bigtime - Added line drawing of tempo in graphical master track editor - Fixed bug (issue #342 Moving Aux sends crashes muse) - Added more keyboard shortcuts in midi editors - Mods/fixes to Midi Input Transformator plugin: - When midi in is enabled in drum editor the selected track is moved along with the triggered key - Fixed bug with playback of drums clicking on notes in the new drum editor, it was playing the wrong instrument - MESS synths (esp Deicsonze): Controls (like Track Info program) and synth controls now mirror each other, both ways. - Deicsonze softsynth: Fixed: Not remembering settings + ladspa plugin settings, midi controllers moved to NRPN14 type. - Native VST: Call idle periodically. Makes some plugins like Glitch work, as per LAD mail. - Change window title when there are unsaved changes - Add auto-save feature, when enabled tries to save after 5 minutes - Added pitch control to SimpleDrums, first version - Fixed Ctrl+arrows in the arranger so the track list is scrolled For more information and additional changes see the full changelog at: https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse/blob/muse_2_2/muse2/ChangeLog News section: http://muse-sequencer.org/index.php/News Download: http://muse-sequencer.org/index.php/Download Demos page: http://muse-sequencer.org/index.php/Demos Forum: http://muse-sequencer.org/forum/ Happy new year from the MusE Team!

[LAA] MIDI Trigger LV2 plug-in announce

by Viacheslav Lotsmanov

We released our plug-in which sends MIDI notes by audio peaks under GNU/GPLv3. It has one audio input port and one MIDI output port. It works like trigger-sampler, but more unix-way (without sampler). You just send output MIDI note to sampler that you love. You can save dynamic of your audio signal, just use velocity controls. About "Note-off mode" control you can read here: https://github.com/metachronica/audio-dsp-midi-trigger/blob/6992e837f8cdce1… We'll document it in the future more user-friendly. https://github.com/metachronica/audio-dsp-midi-trigger First release here: https://github.com/metachronica/audio-dsp-midi-trigger/releases/tag/v0.0.1

[LAA] LSA 0.1.0

by Mark Karpov

I would like to announce LSA (LiSt properties of Audio files). This is a minimal, lightweight, console, Unix-style program to list various parameters of audio files. 'Unix-style' means that it tries to do one thing and do it well. LSA also tries to be fast. It has been written in C, it's multithreading (creates one thread per physical core), it uses SSE and SSE2 intrinsics (some people are still using some AMD processors that have no support for SSE4). If you ever have to wait for results, it's because of hard drive speed or decompression. Decompression is performed by Audio File library, so I cannot easily speed up this. LSA is built on top of Audio File library, so it inherits its list of supported file formats: * AIFF/AIFF-C (.aiff, .aifc) * WAVE (.wav) * NeXT .snd/Sun .au (.snd, .au) * Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL Sound File (.sf) * Audio Visual Research (.avr) * Amiga IFF/8SVX (.iff) * Sample Vision (.smp) * Creative Voice File (.voc) * NIST SPHERE (.wav) * Core Audio Format (.caf) * FLAC (.flac) Supported compression formats: * G.711 mu-law and A-law * IMA ADPCM * Microsoft ADPCM * FLAC * ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) The program currently is capable to display the following parameters: * sample rate; * sample width; * sample format (signed or unsigned integer, single or double precision floating point); * number of channels; * length in minutes, seconds, and hours (if necessary) per file; * total length of all files in actual directory; * number of frames per file; * total number of frames of all files in actual directory; * peak [0..1] per file; * maximum peak among all files in actual directory; * compression scheme. TODO: * efficiently calculate perceived loudness (as per ITU-R BS.1770-3); * efficiently calculate loudness range. LSA repository is here: https://github.com/mrkkrp/lsa Documentation: LSA comes with its own man page License: GNU GPL
