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 ;)

gx_head is a simple guitar mono tube amplifier simulation based
on the work we have done in the guitarix project.
WAIT, NO,
We decide it's time to sync our Project Name and our Project we work on.
So we replace guitarix /gx_head by guitarix2,
This release is a full replacement for guitarix and/or gx_head in any sense.
You cant have install the old guitarix and/or gx_head parallel to this release.
please refer to our project page for more information:
http://guitarix.sourceforge.net/
new features in short:
* reworked GUI controllers
* reworked rc-style files
* replace clean tube modes by a clean <-> distortion controller
* new cab models and controls (level, bass, treble)
* new tonestack models
* make tonestacks and cabs a move-able module
* cleaner effect rack construction
* customizable effect rack order (horizontal, vertical)
* a bunch of what I have forget to mention here
have fun

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

For faust users :
All used Faust dsp files are included in /gx_head/src/faust,
the resulting .cc files are in /gx_head/src/faust-generated
The tools we use to convert (post-processing and plot)
the resulting faust cpp files to the needed include format,
stay in the /gx_head/tools directory.

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It
doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI
synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use
the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use
the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another
instrument or MIDI file player.

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.

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!
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

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

Jack 0.120.2 is now available.
http://jackaudio.org/downloads/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.120.2.tar.gz
This is primarily a bug fix release, though some of the bugs are important.
Fixes/Changes
* Fix issues with stack initialization in client threads that stole
large chunks of the stack from applications.
* if the ALSA backend finds that a device is busy, try to tell the
user what application(s) are using it.
* Reimplement the jack_cycle_wait/jack_cycle_signal() API for OS X,
where in previous versions it was completely non-functional.
* extended documentation for the transport API data structures.
* extended documentation for the JACK Session API
* more useful warning message when duplicate port registration is attempted
* fix logic for setting up device parameters in the ALSA backend
(fixes JACK startup on some ALSA-supported devices that would report
"impossible sample width (1) discovered" during startup).
