Dear all,
I've just uploaded a new release of Yoshimi to SourceForge. This is
basically a maintenance release as Yoshimi fails to build with the
latest version of FLTK (1.3). Thanks to Frank Kober for pointing this
out and for providing a patch. I've also applied the Legato pedal patch
from Kristian Amlie. This patch is so simple and clean, you wonder why
it wasn't implemented earlier. Thanks Kristian!

And a happy New Year!

Change-log:
- Fixed initial LV2 plugin UI widget/window titles.
- Attempt to get any brand new LV2 plugins Qt4 enabled UI's working on
either slv2 and lilv build modes ;) (nailed by falkTX, thanks).
- Current clip is ultimately inferred from the one under the play-head
position and current selected track; the last one clicked over and/or
selected still has precedence (following request by Loiugi Verona).
- Drag-moving clips horizontally with the keyboard arrow-keys just got a
step better with a fixed minimum of one pixel, depending still on the
current snap-per-beat setting and horizontal zoom level (as suggested by
Louigi Verona, thanks).
- Get maximum and minimum peak values back when drawing audio
waveforms.- Automation play/feedback has been missed to show on those
plugins that provide their own GUI, now on par with all the rest
'homebrew' widgets (eg. generic plugin properties dialog).
- All plugin parameters automation and selection were left inaccessible
until the generic native plugin dialog is eventually shown, now fixed
(re. bug #3463916).
Enjoy && Happy New Year!

Hi all,
Just a friendly reminder that JANUARY 11 is the deadline for all submissions to the Linux Audio Conference (LAC 2012), which will take place at CCRMA (Stanford, California) in April 2012!http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2012/
Santa LACus wishes a great paper-and-music-submitting holiday to all!
Ho, ho.

LAC 2012: the Linux Audio Conference - Call for Participation
April 12-15, 2012 @ CCRMA, Stanford University
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2012/
[Apologies for cross-postings] [Please distribute]
Online submission of papers, music, installations and workshops is now
open! On the website you will find up-to-date instructions, as well as
important information about deadlines, travel, lodging, and so on. Read
on for more details!
We invite submissions of papers addressing all areas of audio processing
based on Linux and open source software. Papers can focus on technical,
artistic or scientific issues and can target developers or users. We are
also looking for music that has been produced or composed entirely or
mostly using Linux and other Open Source music software.
The Deadline for all submissions is January 11th, 2012
The Linux Audio Conference (LAC) is an international conference that
brings together musicians, sound artists, software developers and
researchers, working with Linux as an open, stable, professional
platform for audio and media research and music production. LAC includes
paper sessions, workshops, and a diverse program of electronic music.
The upcoming 2012 conference will be hosted at CCRMA, Stanford
University, on April 12-15. The Center for Computer Research in Music
and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University is a multi-disciplinary
facility where composers and researchers work together using
computer-based technology both as an artistic medium and as a research
tool. CCRMA has been using and developing Linux as an audio platform
since 1997.
http://ccrma.stanford.edu
Stanford University is located in the heart of Silicon Valley, about one
hour south of San Francisco, California. This is the first time LAC will
take place in the United States.
http://www.stanford.edu
We look forward to seeing you at Stanford in April!
Sincerely,
The LAC 2012 Organizing Team
This release marks end of the preview series. It brings three new user
visible features - virtual graph manipulation, LASH support and
jack-session support.
Virtual graph manipulation allows to perform these operations:
* Split (create new client and move capture ports to the the new
client)
* Join (move ports of one clients to another client and remove the
first client)
* New client
* Move port
* Rename client
* Rename port
* Remove (empty) client
The added LASH and jack-session support allows apps to be run in rooms
at LASH or jack-session level. jack-session support requires
jack-1.9.8.
= Download =
The tarballs are available at the usual location:
* http://ladish.org/download/
* http://ladish.org/download/ladish-1-with-deps.tar.bz2
* http://ladish.org/download/ladish-1-with-deps.tar.bz2.sig
* http://ladish.org/download/ladish-1.tar.bz2
* http://ladish.org/download/ladish-1.tar.bz2.sig
There are two tarballs. ladish-1-with-deps.tar.bz2 is 5.3 MiB and
bundles the major dependencies that are usually needed for running
ladish:
* flowcanvas
* LADI Tools
* a2jmidid
* jack2
All of these are either development (git/svn) versions or release
versions that are patched to work better with ladish. The last released
versions of these dependencies are expected work with ladish. The most
serious "incompatibility" is that the jack2 mainline is missing the
no-self-connect changeset. This changeset adds option to jack that
allows prevention of jack apps self connection to "hardware" ports
(usually system:playback_N). As such self-connecting apps are not rare
at all, without it, the studio/room separation is not-effective and
the workflow can get very confusing.
If you are compiling the software by yourself, then you should
probably use this "fat" tarball.
The ladish-1.tar.bz2 tarball is 586 KiB and contains only ladish
itself. It is expected to be used mainly by packagers.
= Known issues =
If you want to use yoshimi-0.060.10, beware that its jack-session
implementation is broken. As a workaround, in gladish settings dialog,
"JS delay" can be set to few seconds instead of the default 0. Two
seconds should work in most cases. For more info, check
http://ladish.org/ticket/187
= More info on the ladish project =
Homepage: http://ladish.org/
LADI Session Handler or simply ladish is a session management system
for JACK applications on GNU/Linux. Its aim is to allow you to have
many different audio programs running at once, to save their setup,
close them down and then easily reload the setup at some other
time. ladish doesn't deal with any kind of audio or MIDI data itself;
it just runs programs, deals with saving/loading (arbitrary) data and
connects JACK ports together. It can also be used to move entire
sessions between computers, or post sessions on the Internet for
download. Check the project goals for more info.
Project goals:
* Save and restore sets of JACK (audio and MIDI) enabled
applications.
* Provide JACK clients with virtual hardware ports, so projects can
be transferred (or backups restored) between computers running
different hardware and backups.
* Don't require session handling library to be used. There is no need
of such library for restoring connections between JACK clients.
* Flow canvas based GUI. Positions of elements on the canvas are
saved/restored.
* Allow clients to use external storage to save its state. This
includes storing internal state to non-filesystem place like memory
of a hardware synth. This also includes storing client internal
state (client project data) in a way that is not directly bound to
ladish project.
* Import/export operations, as opposed to save/load. Save/load
operate in current system and may cause saving data outside of
project itself (external storage). Import/export uses/produces
"tarball" suitable for transferring session data over network to
other computer or storing it in a backup archive.
* Hierarchical or tag-based organization of projects.
* List of JACK applications. Applications are always started through
ladish to have restored runtime environment closer to one existed
before project save.
* Distributed studio - network connected computers. Netjack
configuration is part of the studio and thus is saved/restored.
* Collaborate with the X11 window manager so window properties like
window position, virtual desktop and screen (multimonitor) are
saved/restored.
