Hello,
Please find new release of FSTHost.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/fsthost/
Please note that since now there is simple app "FSTHost Menu" shipped with fsthost. It cover some functionality with FeSTige and has to fullfill a similar role.
New release of FSTHost contain:
- Support for GTK3 ( GTK2 is still supported )
- Propose path of file opened at start as default while save state
- fsthost menu - perl version with GTK2/GTK3 support ( and with tray/status icon ;-)
- aggregator - app for merge all fsthost windows into one ( not installed by default )
- use wine ( win32 ) code when moving window ( instead of X tricks )
- disable support for bbt_offset , because seems that some VST plugins does not like fractal values in barStartPos
- do not zeroize outputs by default ( -z option )
- XML DB - use shared file for 32/64 versions ( ~/.fsthost.xml )
- Scan all dirs in VST_PATH recursively when building XML DB ( -g option )
- Allow build 32 and 64 version independently
- a lot of code refactoring
- .... and a lot of other changes
Best Regards
Xj

SiSco.lv2 a Simple Oscilloscope LV2 plugin for scientific measurements.
source: https://github.com/x42/sisco.lv2
manual: http://x42.github.io/sisco.lv2/
I recently had a need for a proper software-oscilloscope and there was
also the the case about providing a LV2 example to transfer Arrays of
LV2-Atoms. The latter is now available as eg05-scope.lv2 from lv2plug.in
"Gentlemen, when two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to
the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention."
(Dale Cooper)
SiSco is not a waveform display but an audio scope which accurately
reproduces the signal up to a maximum resolution of about 1μs/pixel
@48KSPS (corresponding to 960KHz resolution) to facilitate
measurements of an audio stream.
While it may seem advanced, it is still rather simple compared to
current technology hardware oscilloscopes:
* 1-4 channels
* grid-resolution min: 50μs, max: 1 sec (max buffer time 15 sec)
* per channel horizontal & vertical offset and amplitude scaling
* automatic and manual trigger with optional hold-off
* two time-axis cursors (shared among channels)
* numeric readout (RMS, P-P, dt) per channel
* display memory (freeze display - not acquisition - of any channel)
It is already available on various GNU/Linux distributions (although
maybe not yet the latest version) as part of the "x42-plugin" bundle.
Cheers!
robin

Apologies for x-posting...
It is my pleasure to announce tonight's premiere of OPERAcraft. Hosted
by Virginia Tech's Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology, in
collaboration with the School of Performing Arts (SOPA), and Linux
Laptop Orchestra (L2Ork), this week will feature a premiere and a second
performance of a newly produced opera. While both events are sold out,
they will be also streamed live online (please see below for a link and
additional info).
OPERAcraft couples traditional opera with a custom mod of ubiquitous
Minecraft designed at Virginia Tech specially for this purpose. Using
Linux Laptop Orchestra's pd-l2ork software Minecraft's custom mod is
transformed into a full-fledged staging environment, with animated
character mouth movement driven through pd-l2ork's speech analysis
engine, hand and body gestures, multiple camera angles, camera view
mixer, subtitles, behind-the-scenes performer warnings, and a full scene
control (fadeouts, transitions, etc.).
A 20-minute opera titled "The Surface: a world above" is desiged by and
large by high school students, including story, libretto, costume and
set design. The project is directed by Prof. Ariana Wyatt, Virginia Tech
School of Performing Arts' voice faculty. The music is an adaptation of
Mozart's arias performed by Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts'
piano faculty Dr. Tracy Cowden. Operacraft mod and supporting pd-l2ork
infrastructure was imagined and designed by Virginia Tech School of
Performing Arts' and ICAT computer music faculty Dr. Ivica Ico Bukvic
and devised in collaboration with Virginia Tech Computer Science
undergraduate student Cody Cahoon.

KXStudio 12.04.3 RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT
KXStudio is a freely downloadable and easy to use GNU/Linux operating
system that focuses on audio and video production. The installation disc
includes a comprehensive selection of ready-to-run multimedia production
software such as the Ardour, qtractor and REAPER DAWs, the KDEnlive video
editor, the Renoise, Sunvox and Rosegarden sequencers, GIMP image editor,
k3b CD/DVD/BD burner, 100's of effect plugins and virtual instrument
plugins and much, much more. KXStudio allows everybody to hit the ground
running with an optimized and largely pre-configured free software based
digital studio.
Multimedia-focused GNU/Linux distributions are nothing new, so what makes
KXStudio special?
* KXStudio includes Cadence, a suite of custom tools that makes it simple
to manage the various layers and features of the various Linux audio
sub-systems, integrating them seamlessly via a single app. If you've
attempted audio production under Linux previously and struggled, you may
find Cadence to be the solution to your Linux audio difficulties.
* The easiest way to get going with KXStudio is to install afresh from its
DVD ISO but more experienced Linux users have the option of adding the
KXStudio software repositories onto an existing Ubuntu or Debian
installation so that they may easily install a wide variety of multimedia
packages and just take what they need. This allows for many more
installation and customization options compared to other Linux
distributions and puts the proprietary operating systems to shame in
comparison.
* GNU/Linux audio plus its installation and configuration is no longer
shrouded in mystery thanks to the concise and easy to read KXStudio
documentation available at http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/kxstudio_manual
If you'd like to be creative with your computer and free of the demands and
limitations of the corporately controlled alternatives, KXStudio is
arguably the best option available!
