Hi Nano-Basket v0.3 has been released. Source files are available from http://github.com/royvegard/Nano-Basket Nano-Basket is a configuration software for the Korg nanoSERIES MIDI controllers. It's intended to run on operating systems where the official configuration editor is not available (i.e. Linux). It's written in Python, using pygtk for the GUI. News for this release include: - Scene copy and paste. - Nano-Basket behaves as a Midi controller, emulating the nanoSERIES device. (Note, attack time and release time not functional yet.) - More robust device communication. Simple usage instructions are available from the wiki page: http://wiki.github.com/royvegard/Nano-Basket/use -- Roy Vegard Ovesen

[LAA] [ANNOUNCE] FluidSynth 1.1.4 released!

by David Henningsson

In short, version 1.1.4 of FluidSynth brings us: * Several improvements and fixes to the CMake build system, especially for Mac OS X * Several bug fixes to the engine, notably quite a few which could cause FluidSynth to sound bad in some cases. * API additions, that make it possible to - load MIDI files from memory - to inspect/modify MIDI events as they are being played from a MIDI file - to change channels between melodic and drum mode - and to silence all notes in one command. * Improvements to the CoreAudio driver A more detailed list of changes is available at https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/fluidsynth/wiki/ChangeLog1_1_4 Looking back at the changes, I'm feeling a little proud today. One of the reasons for feeling proud, is that we have more than one new contributor: people who have taken the step to actually work with the code, improve it, and create non-trivial patches with new functionality in it. That is a good foundation for the future and I hope all contributors feel welcomed and properly attributed. Also, the improvements/fixes to the build system is worth a special note (thanks Pedro!), I was surprised to see so many of them! And finally, we've managed to close several long standing bugs, which makes me feel that this release will be stable and enjoyable for a lot of people, with less annoyances than ever. (Thanks to the jOrgan folks for the test run!) Now, enjoy the release, and last but not least - make sure you make some really great music with it! :-) (Can't wait for your distro to package it up for you? You can download the tarball from SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fluidsynth/ ) On behalf of the FluidSynth developer team, David Henningsson

[LAA] xwax 1.0 release

by Mark Hills

I'm pleased to announce the 1.0 release of xwax -- DJ software for Linux. http://www.xwax.co.uk/ http://www.xwax.co.uk/releases/xwax-1.0.tar.gz The key changes since v0.9 are: * Changing of timecode at runtime * Improved parsing of vinyl track numbers * Bug fix: affecting multiple decks with different sample rates * Optimise timecode error checking during scratching xwax is open-source vinyl emulation software for Linux. It allows DJs and turntablists to playback digital audio files (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC and more), controlled using a normal pair of turntables via timecoded vinyls. It's designed for both beat mixing and scratch mixing. Needle drops, pitch changes, scratching, spinbacks and rewinds are all supported, and feel just like the audio is pressed onto the vinyl itself. The focus is on an accurate vinyl feel which is efficient, stable and fast. -- Mark

[LAA] gst123-0.2.0

by Stefan Westerfeld

gst123-0.2.1 has been released. Overview of changes in gst123-0.2.1: ------------------------------------ * Fixed minor memory leak. * Fix warnings due to wrong glib option parsing. [Nicholas Miell] * Use wikihtml2man for documentation (replaces old doxer based manpage). What is gst123? --------------- The program gst123 is designed to be a more flexible command line player in the spirit of ogg123 and mpg123, based on gstreamer. It plays all file formats gstreamer understands, so if you have a music collection which contains different file formats, like flac, ogg and mp3, you can use gst123 to play all your music files. Since gst123-0.1.0 support for watching videos has been added; however gst123 should run fine in situations where no X11 display is available; videos can be played without X11 display, too (-x, --novideo); in this case, only the audio stream will be played. It is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2 Links: ------ Website: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/gst123.php Download: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/gst123/gst123-0.2.1.tar.bz2 -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan

[LAA] jMax Phoenix 0.7 beta released

by Maurizio De Cecco

I just upload to the sourceforge site (http://jmax-phoenix.sourceforge.net/) the binaries for jMax Phoenix 0.7. This release include the recent work on restructuring the DSP engine, and provide the results of some optimization work; the performance increase is (on my core i7 sandy bridge) of around 3 times for Mac OS X and 2 times under Linux, for patches that has a typical mix of simple and complex DSP objects; simple DSP objects run around 4 time faster than before. (also, if you used the 0.6.2 distribution, performance increase is more in the 10x range, because it was compiled using the wrong flags). Most of the performance increase come, on Mac OS X, for using the clang vector extensions, and for Linux, from using the latest compiler with the right flags. The Linux distribution include the usability fix included in the last Mac OS distribution. A couple of incompatible changes: the ISPW like switch~ object has been dropped, because its semantic prevented any changes in the DSP engine (the ISPW switch~ was different than the pd switch~). New forms of conditional execution may be provided later. On Mac OS X, the personal preference file moved to the ~/Library/Preferences/org.jmax-phoenix.jMax/jmax.xml file, and the caches to ~/Library/Caches/org.jmax-phoenix.jMax directory. Maurizio
