Hello
I’m happy to announce a update release of gxtuner, a simple, small and
lightweight guitar/bass tuner for jack.
It's a break out of the guitarix tuner module,
gxtuner-1.5
changes:
* added reference pitch controller
* added threshold controller
* added command-line option (-i) to connect at start up
gxtuner comes with a analogue like, full arbitrary scaling interface (scale),
show the tune, the octave and the accumulated frequency in Hz,
and it comes with full jack-session support.
gxtuner use a equal-tempered scale based on A4 = 440 Hz (427Hz <-> 453Hz)
gxtuner is licensed under the GPL.
for more information please read the included README file.

Guitarix developers
Hi all,
I'm glad to announce the release of NASPRO 0.3.0.
NASPRO (http://naspro.atheme.org/) is meant to be a cross-platform
sound processing software architecture built around the LV2 plugin
standard (http://lv2plug.in/).
The goal of the project is to develop a series of tools to make it
easy and convenient to use LV2 for sound processing on any (relevant)
platform and for everybody: end users, host developers, plugin
developers, distributors and scientists/researchers.
This release introduces a new simple command line effect processor
using LV2 plugins called LV2proc, adds experimental translation of
DSSI programs to LV2 presets, breaks the API of lower level libraries
to make them slimmer and more efficient, and includes as usual
bugfixing and improvements here and there. You can find detailed
ChangeLogs in the tarballs.
It includes:
NASPRO core: the portable runtime library at the bottom of the architecture;
NASPRO Bridge it: a little helper library to develop
insert-your-API-here to LV2 bridges;
NASPRO bridges: a collection of bridges to LV2 which, once
installed, allow you to use plugins developed for other plugin
standards in LV2 hosts;
LV2proc: a simple command line effect processor using LV2 plugins.
In particular, the NASPRO bridges collection includes two bridges: a
LADSPA (http://www.ladspa.org/) 1.1 and a DSSI
(http://dssi.sourceforge.net/) 1.0.0/1.1.0 bridge.
NASPRO core, NASPRO Bridge it and NASPRO bridges are released under
the LGPL 2.1, while LV2proc is released under the GPL 3.
Enjoy!
A new version of the LV2 core specification is out.
This release simplifies how LV2 specifications are installed, so
corresponding releases of all stable extensions at lv2plug.in have also
been released, along with a new "urid" extension.
There are no API changes in this release, but a few new properties have
been defined (see below).
Download
--------
There is now a single index for all specs at lv2plug.in.
Documentation, downloads, and everything else can be reached from:
http://lv2plug.in/ns/
Tarballs can be found in:
http://lv2plug.in/spec/
Using LV2 and Extensions
------------------------
System installed LV2 extensions can now be checked for like most
libraries with pkgconfig. Both the pkgconfig names and include paths
are based on the URI, e.g.:
URI: http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/event
pkgconfig: lv2-lv2plug.in-ns-ext-event
include: "lv2/lv2plug.in/ns/ext/event/event.h"
LV2 itself still has the pkgconfig name "lv2core" for compatibility.
Either the URI-style include or the old "lv2.h" continue to work.
Packaging Changes
-----------------
The lv2config tool no longer exists. Specification packages simply
install their headers to the appropriate locations.
Changes
-------
Detailed changes are available in the online documentation as well as
NEWS files included in each tarball. The most significant changes are:
lv2core (6.0)
* Switch to the ISC license, a simple BSD-style license (with
permission of all contributors to lv2.h and its ancestor, ladspa.h).
* Remove lv2config in favour of the simple convention that
specifications install headers to standard URI-based paths.
* Make lv2core.ttl a valid OWL 2 DL ontology.
* Add lv2:extensionData and lv2:ExtensionData for plugins to indicate
that they support some URI for extension_data().
lv2-ui (2.4)
* Add Qt4 and X11 widget types.
* Deprecate ui:makeSONameResident.
lv2-urid (1.0)
* Initial release.
lv2-units (5.4)
* Make units.ttl a valid OWL 2 DL ontology.
* Define used but undefined resources (units:name, units:render,
units:symbol, units:Conversion, units:conversion,
units:prefixConversion, units:to, and units:factor).
lv2-uri-map (1.4) stable;
* Deprecate uri-map in favour of urid.
Enjoy,
-dr
Guitarix release guitarix2-0.20.0
After much code shuffling, refactoring and testing we are happy to
release "whizzing abacus" guitarix2-0.20.0. Thanks to all testers and
special thanks to rosea grammostola for his patience.
Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for jack, with effect modules
and an additional stereo effect chain.
Please refer to our project page for more information:
http://guitarix.sourceforge.net/
new features and bugfixes in short:
* important bugfix: convolver (cabinet, presence) in 0.19.0 only
worked when samplerate was 48000Hz
* avoid connect already connected ports
* always save state on exit (in earlier versions state was not saved
when presets where selected)
* separation of engine and UI
if you always wanted to use Guitarix headless or embedded, now
there's a chance :-)
* now its possible to set the reference pitch of the tuner
* remember currently selected preset in guitarix state file
* display selected preset / factory preset in window title and patch
info window
* updated factory settings from funkmuscle
* reworked guitarix operation under a jack session manager
* error popup window in addition to existing logging facility
* command line option to set instance name (determines jack client
names and state file to use)
* some more work to support localization
* upgraded to zita-convolver version 3
* other smaller changes and clean-ups

For extra Impulse Responses, guitarix uses the zita-convolver library,
and, for resampling we use zita-resampler, both written by Fons
Adriaensen.

We use the marvellous faust compiler to build the amp and effects and
will say thanks to

Remix 0.2.4 Release

jack_capture
============
jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack.
The default operation of the program is executed by writing "jack_capture"
in the terminal without any extra command line options:
$ jack_capture
...which will record what you hear in your loudspeakers
into a stereo wav file.
0.9.54 -> 0.9.58:
* Created git repository for jack_capture at github:
https://github.com/kmatheussen/jack_capture
* Removed jack_capture_gui2 from target list. The source is still
included with jack_capture, and can be compiled up by writing
"make jack_capture_gui2", but I'm not willing to maintain it.
Please use at your own risk. If anyone wants to distribute it
and maintain it as a program separate from jack_capture,
please do so.
* Fix bug which in theory could cause malformed sound data to be
sent to stdout.
* Fix bug that caused durations lower than 2^31 seconds to fail.
(Caused by a function returning int instead of int64_t).
Thanks to Dan Muresan for pointing out the bug.
* Added the "-daemon" switch patch from Dan Muresan.
If the "-daemon" switch is enabled, jack_capture will not read
from stdin.
* Added the "-manual-connections" switch. jack_capture will
not connect any ports for you when this is enabled. (Perhaps
even more important: it will not disconnect any ports for you either)
* Applied gcc 4.5 linking order fix from Alessio Treglia.
* Changed march=native to mtune=native
* Fix for possible error when trying to connect to a non-existing port.
* Don't hardcode meterbridge path during compilation. Thanks to Adrian Knoth
for fix.
* Avoid killing random process at exit in case meterbridge couldn't be
started.
