Call for Participation:
Audio-graphic Modeling and Interaction
Workshop @ NIME 2011, Oslo, Norway
Sunday, May 29: 1PM-4PM.
This workshop focuses on recent advances and future prospects in
audio-graphic scenes modeling and rendering. The convergence of
the audio and graphic communities is fostered by the increase in
computational resources, by cognitive studies on cross-modal
perception, and by the industrial needs for realistic audio scenes.
Audio-graphic research is spreading in areas such as games,
architecture, urbanism, information visualization, or interactive
artistic digital media. We will focus on the representation, the
interaction, the rendering, and the perception of scenes in which
the audio and graphical components are clearly identified and
combined (in contrast to standard multimedia video streams).
Registration to the workshop and NIME conference can be found here:

Hi everyone,
This is a small update to aj-snapshot.
Aj-snapshot is a small command-line utility that can be used
to store/restore ALSA and JACK connections to/from an XML file.
This release fixes a small and a big bug:
- Correction to the license headers which referred to the wrong program...
(copy/paste error)
- Make the -i flag ignore clients in both directions.
(in the previous release, only connections FROM the ignored clients were ignored)
The website:
http://aj-snapshot.sourceforge.net/
Git repository:
git clone git://aj-snapshot.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/aj-snapshot/aj-snapshot
Please report bugs on the sourceforge project page (don't be shy ;-)
You will find direct links for bug reports or feature requests on the
main website.
greetings,

I'm pleased to announce the latest release of xwax -- DJ software for
Linux:
http://www.xwax.co.uk/http://www.xwax.co.uk/releases/xwax-0.9.tar.gz
As well as usability improvements and internal changes, the 0.9 release
adds an important improvement to scratch latency for expert turntablists.
--[ What is xwax?
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.

Hi everybody.
This is the second release of aj-snapshot, which is a command line
utility to store/restore ALSA and/or JACK connections.
For more information: goto http://aj-snapshot.sourceforge.net/
Changes in this release:
- Ask for confirmation when the user saves a snapshot over an existing file.
and added the '-f/--force' option to override this.
- Added the '-q/--quiet' option. With this option aj-snapshot will not report
any information about storing/restoring connections. This includes messages
about connections that aj-snapshot failed to restore, because they are not
considered an error in this context.
- Added an '-i/--ignore' option with which you can tell aj-snapshot to ignore
certain clients when storing/restoring connections.
- Made the connection messages more readable.
To clone the git repository:
git clone git://aj-snapshot.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/aj-snapshot/aj-snapshot
Let me know if you have any questions...
I hope you enjoy :-)

Hi all,
It's been online for a while, but with 4 weeks to go: the
conference-programme is now officially fixed:
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2011/?page=program
and for your xPhone or googol-calendar:
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2011/vcal.php
Should you attend LAC, please register if you have not done so:
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2011/?page=registration
If you can not make it to Maynooth: live streams will be available
during the conference and the recordings and papers will also be
published online afterward.
Looking forward to seeing you in Maynooth!
PS. We are going to provide some printed copies of the programme at
the conference registration-desk, but if you wish to do a colorful print
yourself:

gst123-0.2.0 has been released.
Overview of changes in gst123-0.2.0:
------------------------------------
* Made --shuffle, --repeat and --random behave identical to ogg123 options.
* Allow colon in filenames. [Siddhesh Poyarekar]
* Support "none" audio driver which disables audio output.
* Added --full-version option which prints versions of the
libraries used by gst123.
* Support --enable-debug configure option.
* Minor fixes.
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

gx_head is a simple guitar mono tube amplifier simulation based
on the work we have done in the guitarix project.
gx_head provide different tube models and tonestack models, so you can
simply adjust the amp-model to your needs.
gx_head comes with a bunch of in-build effects, like distortion, crybaby,
autowah, phaser, flanger, echo, delay, . . .
The effects could ordered in two Racks, on for the mono effects, witch
could be load for pre or post processing, and one for the stereo
effects, witch could only used in post processing.
Effects are loadable over the menu, a pop-up menu in the racks, or a
plugin bar. Settings could saved/load as presets.
gx_head comes with some factory settings provided by guitarix/gx_head
friends "funkmuscle", "zettberlin" and "StudioDave" thanks therefore.
All UI controllers could connected over jack midi via MIDI learn with
your external MIDI controllers.
gx_head is comes, thanks to
Pablo Fernández with Spanish ,
Ivan Tarozzi with Italian,
jy with French translation.
Thanks to the new project member Pete Shorthose we could fix a old Bug
in libgxw/gxwmm related to 64 bit systems, also Pete have add
animation support for knobs in libgxw/gxwmm.
new features in short:
* add tube 6DJ8
* add clean tube modes
* reworked drive controller (bypass <-> wet)
* add clipper
* add mono level controller
* add French translation by jy
* add TACTILE skin by Pete Shorthose
* add knob animation support by Pete Shorthose
* add new knob images by Pete Shorthose
* add new switch images by Pete Shorthose
* fix 64bit related bug in libgxw by Pete Shorthose
* add factory settings by Dave Phillips
* add 3band EQ + sharper
* add tremolo by transmogrifox (Rakarrack)
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.

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

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.
