[LAA] Xth Sense: instrument, code, schematic, tutorial On-line now

by Marco Donnarumma

(sorry for x-post) Dears, I wished so much I could have joined you at Stanford this year... :( but....! The Xth Sense (software and hardware) is finally available on-line, get binaries, DIY documentation, and tutorials at: http://res.marcodonnarumma.com/projects/xth-sense/ The digital interface is developed in Pd on a Linux machine; there's a main software for the computation of incoming muscle sound (and virtually any sound input), and the xth-sense-lib, a collection of 120 objects (and help files) ranging from specific muscle sound methods, to everyday Pd patching needs. It also includes a lot of GUI stuff, to facilitate building things. Wanna the source? Here you go: https://github.com/marcodsad What is the Xth Sense? "**is a biophysical musical instrument. You can build your own and produce music with it using the sound of your muscles. It is free and open source, and it was named the “world’s most innovative new musical instrument” by the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology (US, 2012). Its name is spelled ecsth sense (not tenth sense!). But it’s way easier to call XS." With the XS you can also control other software on your machine (video, audio, light systems, etc.), send Voltage output to hardware, or control a prosthetic arm. Hacks are encouraged by the design of the instrument itself. For some ideas see: http://res.marcodonnarumma.com/projects/xth-sense/#get-started We have a (newly born) user's forum, courtesy of Create Digital Music/Motion; the forum lives at: http://createdigitalnoise.com/categories/xth We are on also on Facebook (imagine!): http://www.facebook.com/XthSense if anybody works with it, let me know! We have users and works in Australia, Sweden, US, UK, Ireland, Spain, Vietnam, Germany, Russia, Netherlands, and Italy, so far :) hope it is useful to some of you, cheers, -- Marco Donnarumma New Media + Sonic Arts Practitioner, Performer, Teacher, Director.

[LAA] Version 0.6 of The Newtonator available

by Michael Bechard

The "I went on a diet and look at me now!" version. There's been a lot of fat cut out in this version, namely floor modulation. I tried to remove the things that really weren't making much of a difference in regards to the breadth of sounds that are capable of being generated. Changes in v0.6: - removed floor modulation altogether; wasn't getting enough bang for the buck, sound-wise - removed Gravity Readjust - removed Switch Velocity - removed Channel Separation - removed patched Stk source code from code-base, now it compiles against dynamic lib - added limit to velocity - made stereo synthesis optional in UI Next version will probably focus on some new ideas, but if any given control doesn't make a big difference in the sound being made, it won't make the cut. The Newtonator is an LV2 soft synth that uses a unique algorithm based on simple ideas of velocity and acceleration to produce some unpredictable sounds. More documentation can be found on the project website athttp://newtonator.sf.net/. Thanks, Michael Bechard

[LAA] Lisalo 1.5 release

by Nils

Lisalo - Linux Sampler Loader - is a command line program that loads entire directories of sample files, a single .sfz file or takes instructions from a meta .lsl file with relative paths to samples. Now you can quickly and easily load sampled instruments without even starting a GUI. This is release 1.5, grab it here, no installation required git clone git://github.com/nilsgey/Lisalo.git [New Feature: Automatic Audio Busses] After loading hundreds of .sfz files in Linuxsampler I did not even attempt to manually connect them in QJackCtl but instead modify Lisalo to help me. If you use an .lsl file to load you'll get bus channels for each section (the same that create the midi-in ports, you already have them, no new syntax, no extra typing). Example .lsl file !Stringduo =Violin vi-legato.sfz vi-staccato.sfz vi-pizz.sfz =Viola vla-legato.sfz vla-staccato.sfz vla-pizz.sfz will create the following Jack audio output ports as device name "Stringduo": - One pair master sum, left and right. Autoconnected to system in (or whatever you gave as commandline argument) - 2 bus pairs (new), unconnect. "Violin" and "Viola". You want to connect these to your recording device. - 6 unconnected pairs, one for each instrument (that would be 12 channels already you would have to connect manually in QJackCtl). These are only for very detailed tasks. Final note: You don't want to know how much work it is to create even this small example in QSampler or Fantasia.
