Greetings comrades! New releases of Lilv (a library for using LV2 plugins) and Suil (a library for using LV2 plugin UIs) are out. These are bugfix releases, mainly fixing UI issues - in these releases every combination of Gtk2/Qt4 host/plugin is tested and working in independent hosts. Upgrading is highly recommended. Downloads, and more information can be found at: http://drobilla.net/software/lilv/ http://drobilla.net/software/suil/ Liberate your code from window hell and dependence on inferior toolkits! For the revolution! -dr

io GNU/Linux .... a multimedia live system based on Debian SID

by MK aka El Doctor

Hi there :) Better later than never... just wanted to let you know about the existence of a live dvd/usb that, I hope, may interess some linux audio adictos here :) "io GNU/Linux is a live system that turns almost any computer into a professional multimedia workstation. It includes a real-time enabled kernel and a great collection of free software for all uses (sound, video, graphics, internet and more)." http://sourceforge.net/projects/io-gnu-linux/ It's based on Debian SID and built whith the Debian Live tools. JACK2 combined with Ladish/Laditools is used as default sound server (you may need first to set up phonon to prefer JACK over Alsa for KDE related apps) Don't hesitate to give it a try and for sure, any feedback more than welcome. Hope this helps, cheers ;) MK

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.0.2. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: SAS USI Enhancements. Several enhancements have been added to Universal Serial Driver for Sierra Automated Systems devices, including the ability to process opto inputs and source state changes as GPI events. RDLogManager X11 Dependencies. It is now possible to run RDLogManager in batch mode without the need for an active X11 server instance. RLM Changes. A new callback has been added to the RLM API to allow for reception of data from serial devices. Full System Backup/Restore Scripts. Sample scripts for performing a full Rivendell backup and restore (DB+audio) have been added. See 'scripts/rd_backup_system.sh' and 'scripts/rd_restore_system.sh'. AudioScience HPI Cleanups. The HPI driver has been refactored to eliminate use of deprecated/obsolete functions and data structures. RMLSend Smartphone App (Experimental). A version of the RMLSend utility for Apple iOS has been added. Miscelaneous Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 202, and will automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo. As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Further information, screenshots and download links are available at: http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

NASPRO 0.2.91 released

by Stefano D'Angelo

Hi all, I'm glad to announce the release of NASPRO 0.2.91. 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 is mostly a bugfix release with a "not officialy supported" port to Win32/64 and bunch of LV2 data-only bundles containing handcrafted the equivalent of all LRDF data I could find. 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. 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. All of the code is released under the LGPL 2.1 license. Due to a couple of issues with Lilv (http://drobilla.net/software/lilv/) 0.4.2 and zynjacku (http://home.gna.org/zynjacku/) 6, the installation of such bundles has to be explictly requested at ./configure time. Furthermore, patches to fix a tiny bug preventing Lilv 0.4.2 from properly working with dynamic manifests and to try to fix (i.e., perhaps more a hack than a fix) cross-referencing among bundles w.r.t. dynamic manifests in zynjacku 6 are avialable in the Downloads page. More information is available on the project's website. Enjoy!

QMidiArp 0.4.0 released

by Frank Kober

Hello all, Work is underway, mainly stimulated and supported by Nedko Arnaudov, to make this animal handle JACK MIDI natively. It is far from being finished, so it is not time for this today, but since January, some other handy features have sneaked in making it worth to give an update. Playhead cursors, waveform-recording MIDI LFOs, some new MIDI controllables and a finer step sequencer control by the keyboard are the main new features coming with QMidiArp 0.4.0. Enjoy! ---------------------------------- qmidiarp-0.4.0 (2011-05-28) New Features o All modules now have a playhead cursor o LFOs can record controller data by a MIDI-learnable Record button. o Seq modules handle note events at the input for triggering o Spanish translation thanks to Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas (plcl) o Czech translation thanks to Pavel Fric o Functional doxygen documentation available by "make doxygen-doc" o New SVG icon and desktop file QMidiArp is available for download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.4.0/qmidiarp-0.4.… Project page http://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net/ Git repo (developers welcome) git://qmidiarp.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/qmidiarp/qmidiarp

[ANN] JACK 0.120.2 + D-Bus

by Nedko Arnaudov

Tarball containing D-Bus patched jack 0.120.2 is available here: http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/jack/dbus/ http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/jack/dbus/jack-audio-connection-kit-dbus-0.… http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/jack/dbus/jack-audio-connection-kit-dbus-0.… A patch against vanilla 0.120.2 is available here: http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/jack/dbus/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.120.2… After applying the patch you have to run autoreconf. D-Bus modifications add optional autodetected support for the D-Bus based server control system. D-Bus is object model that provides IPC mechanism. D-Bus supports autoactivation of objects, thus making it simple and reliable to code a "single instance" application or daemon, and to launch applications and daemons on demand when their services are needed. * Simplified single thread model for control and monitor applications. Various D-Bus language bindings make it trivial to write control and monitor applications using scripting languages like Python, Ruby, Perl, etc.. * JACK has log file (~/.log/jack/jackdbus.log) that is available for inspection even when autoactivation happens because of first JACK application is launched. * There is real configuration file used to persist settings that can be manipulated through configuration interface of JACK D-Bus object. * Improved graph inspection and control mechanism. JACK graph is versioned. Connections, ports and clients have unique (monotonically increasing) numeric IDs. * High level abstraction of JACK settings. Allows applications that can configure JACK to expose parameters that were not known at compile (or tarball release) time. Currently there are some minor differences between jack1 jackdbus and jack2 jackdbus: * There is no parameter constraints support (no enums and no ranges) * Settings file (in ~/.config/jack/) is conf-jack1.xml instead of conf.xml, because jack1 and jack2 settings and not really compatible. When configured with D-Bus support, jack_control is installed. jack_control is simple commandline interface for jackdbus. Other tools that can communicate with JACK through D-Bus: * LADItools (tray icon, configuration, etc.) * Patchage (and lpatchage too) * LASH 0.6.x * ladish * QJackCtl -- Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: 5D1B58ED>
