JACK 0.121.3 released

by Paul Davis

JACK 0.121.3 is a bug fix release containing (almost) no new functionality. It is required if you want to use JACK1 on OS X with any clients that use weak linkage for JACK feature detection (e.g. Ardour). Changes: * Make the printed output of jack_iodelay more useful to actual users * Compilation fixes for OS X (particularly PPC architectures) * Remove SSE-related messages during startup * Fix a few argument type declarations for a few functions * OSS backend: fix a call to yet undefined engine instance http://jackaudio.org/downloads/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.121.3.tar.gz

QXGEdit 0.1.1 slipped out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Yay! It's been a great summer and, as always, good things never last longer. I remember two years ago when it made its premiere, also after a great summer vacation and a pretty longer and rather undercover existence. Two years have gone by now, there's nothing to be startling with. All that's about to say: QXGEdit 0.1.1 slipped out! If you're puzzled what this is, then don't worry nor go any further. This is just one extreme-niche piece of software program I've made for my own personal usage. But others may also feel compelled to try it out. I'm doin'g it just because I can :) Now, already in its third public release, QXGEdit is a XG instrument editor, specially dedicated to the elderly Yamaha DB50XG. Yes, this is all synth-eldercare, if I may punch that line without the slightest lack of respect. How could it be? This is the best evidence I can show to the world how I love this piece of junk ;) Only for the ones who know what I'm talking about ;) Website: http://qxgedit.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qxgedit Downloads: - source tarball: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qxgedit/qxgedit-0.1.1.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 11.4): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qxgedit/qxgedit-0.1.1-3.rncbc.suse114.src.… - binary package (openSUSE 11.4): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qxgedit/qxgedit-0.1.1-3.rncbc.suse114.i586… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qxgedit/qxgedit-0.1.1-3.rncbc.suse114.x86_… Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: QXGEdit is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License [6] (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Make sure Uservoice elements are selected only when available. - Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads. - libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase, as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13, Debian 6. - Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. - General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place. Enjoy. -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc at rncbc dot org http://www.rncbc.org

[ANNOUNCE] aj-snapshot-0.9.5 has been released

by Lieven Moors

Hi all, I'm proud to announce another release of aj-snapshot. aj-snapshot is a command line utility to store/restore ALSA and/or JACK connections to/from an XML file This release adds one major feature, which is that aj-snapshot can now run in daemon mode. In this mode, aj-snapshot will restore ALSA and/or JACK connections automatically when clients become available. You can find more info on this feature in the README file, and on the website (sorry, no manpage yet). The addition of this functionality was mostly done by Jari Suominen, and I am very grateful for his help on improving aj-snapshot. As always, there must be bugs, and I would be very glad if you would report them on the sourceforge site. direct download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/aj-snapshot/files/aj-snapshot-0.9.5.tar.bz2… aj-snapshot website: http://aj-snapshot.sourceforge.net/ bug tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=311291&atid=1310488 feature requests: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=311291&atid=1310491 to clone the git repository: git clone git://gitorious.org/aj-snapshot/aj-snapshot.git

Call for Participation: Versatile Sound Models for Interaction in Audio–graphic Virtual Environments Workshop at DAFx-11, Ircam, Paris

by Diemo Schwarz

Call for Participation, please forward: Versatile Sound Models for Interaction in Audio–Graphic Virtual Environments: Control of Audio-graphic Sound Synthesis Satellite Workshop @ Conference on Digital Audio Effects DAFx-11 http://dafx11.ircam.fr/?page_id=224 Friday September 23, 2011, 9h00–13h00 at Ircam, Paris The use of 3D interactive virtual environments is becoming more widespread in areas such as games, architecture, urbanism, information visualization and sonification, interactive artistic digital media, serious games, gamification. The limitations in sound generation in existing environments are increasingly obvious with current requirements. This workshop will look at recent advances and future prospects in sound modeling, representation, transformation and synthesis for interactive audio-graphic scene design. Several approaches to extending sound generation in 3D virtual environments have been developed in recent years, such as sampling, modal synthesis, additive synthesis, corpus based synthesis, granular synthesis, description based synthesis, physical modeling... These techniques can be quite different in their methods and results, but may also become complementary towards the common goal of versatile and understandable virtual scenes, in order to cover a wide range of object types and interactions between objects and with them. The purpose of this workshop is to sum up these different approaches, present current work in the field, and to discuss their differences, commonalities and complementarities.

How to produce rich interaction with scene objects such as physically informed models for contact and friction sounds etc? How to edit and structure audio–graphic scenes otherwise than mapping one event to one sound? There is no standardized architecture, representation and language for auditory scenes and objects, as is OpenGL for graphics. The workshop will treat higher level questions of architecture and modeling of interactive audio-graphic scenes, down to the detailed question of sound modeling, representation, transformation and synthesis. These questions cannot be detached from implementation issues: novel and hybrid synthesis methods, comparison and improvement of existing platforms, software architecture, plug-in systems, standards, formats, etc. New possibilities regarding the use of audio descriptors and dynamic access to audio databases will also be discussed. Beyond these main questions, the workshop will cover other recent advances in audio-graphic scene modeling such as: * audio-graphic object rendering, and physically and geometrically driven sound rendering, * interactive sound texture synthesis, based on signal models, or physically informed * joint representation of sound and graphic spaces and objects, * sound rendering for audio-graphic scenes: * level of detail, which is a very advanced concept in graphics, but is rarely treated in audio. * representation of space and distance, * masking and occlusion of sources, * clustering of sources * audio-graphic interface design, * sound and graphic localization, * cross- and bi-modal perceptual evaluations, * interactive audio-graphic arts, * industrial audio-graphic data: * architectural acoustics, * sound maps, * urban soundscapes... * platforms and tools for audio-graphic scene modeling and rendering, These areas are interdisciplinary in nature and interrelated. New advancements in each area will benefit the others. This workshop will allow to exchange the latest developments and to point out current challenges and new directions.

New soft synth: The Newtonator v0.5.1

by Michael Bechard

Brand new LV2 plugin soft synth here. The Newtonator (v0.5.0) features: * LV2-compliant synth plugin * Simple, easy-to-use GTK-based GUI * 3-note polyphony (err, um, until I can do some serious optimization) * "Unique" synthesis algorithm (Tuna Pagan Fellowship) The Newtonator specializes in making crazy, harsh sounds, so if you're looking for some sounds to produce the next Yanni album, keep looking. Please refer to the user manual (http://newtonator.sourceforge.net/manual/index.html) for more gory details. Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/newtonator/files/newtonator-0.5.0.tar.gz/do… NOTE: This plugin was written against the excellent libraries included in the lv2-c++-tools package written by Lars Luthman. However, as of v1.0.4, the GUI library only supports rev. 2 of the LV2 specification, so it may have problems on newer hosts (though I have done some (very) preliminary testing against Ardour3 and it seems to work ok). Alpha testing mostly done against zynjacku and Elven (comes with ll-plugins package) hosts. This puppy's in beta, so feel free to get in touch with me at the project forum (https://sourceforge.net/projects/newtonator/forums/forum/1820765) or submit a bug if needed. Thanks, and have fun.
