PD L2Ork 20101229 snapshot now available

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Please excuse cross-posting. Dear friends and fellow FOSS enthusiasts, It is my great pleasure to share with the community a belated Holiday present :-) in a form of latest snapshot of L2Ork iteration of Pure-Data. Better than ever, the latest version comes with the following improvements: *implemented apply undo for array properties and partially implemented apply undo for graph-on-parent object properties (does not apply to abstractions or top-level windows currently until I figure out how to address the indexing of toplevel windows inside the glist as well as how to address to which window such an undo belongs). *properties are disabled when right-clicking on an abstraction as modifying its settings externally does not make sense when one does not see the actual contents inside it. So, to edit the properties of an abstraction, one has to open the actual abstraction. *fixed how new arrays are created so that they always fit within the specified boundaries. Please note arrays that have been already created in prior patches remain untouched in terms of graph auto-resizing (legacy code is provided in g_editor.c canvas_vis that deals with this if anyone wishes to convert their arrays but is incomplete in that it assumes all arrays require resizing--this is however unnecessary as simple recreation of said arrays or manual readjustment of their settings ought to do the trick. -This feature needs further testing--feedback is most appreciated. *fixed how arrays deal with moving array points via mouse by restricting them within the array bounds--this should work for all gui-driven array operations, while array alterations via snapshots and other external ways of manipulating arrays remain unbound so as to allow for traditional data-flow debugging--this may change down the road in part due to introduction of the magicGlass option and in part due to belief that data monitoring should only report ranges specified by the graph. -This feature needs further testing--feedback is most appreciated. *added new feature for arrays where they report a bang through the <arrayname>_changed send (if one is provided) whenever they have been altered by a mouse click'n'drag--this in conjunction with array graph auto-resizing makes arrays formidable alternatives for multisliders. -This feature needs further testing--feedback is most appreciated. *when an array subpatch is opened and resized, the array automatically now resizes to properly fill the window. -This feature needs further testing--feedback is most appreciated. *fixed where array was not visible after reopening the patch if any of its points touched upon y graph limits. *fixed couple of segfaults caused by gridflow incompatibility--more problems remain with gridflow library compatibility, likely due to widgetbehavior and possibly also magicGlass incompatibility. Further investigation is necessary. *fixed memory leak in the disis_phasor~ external where the destructor was never properly called and updated its documentation (available in the l2ork_addons package). *fixed highlighting of signal nlets where nlet would revert to non-signal appearance after being highlighted/connected. *reintroduced array listview (this was a regression in respect to pd-extended). *improved appearance of the array listview. *fixed a few broken links in the pddp documentation and added new l2ork-specific array features to the pddp documentation. Latest snapshot is available from the usual place: http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56 Complete changelog since 11/25/2010 is available here: http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/data/pd/Changelog Happy belated Holidays!

Foo YC-20 1.1.0 released

by sampo savolainen

Hi, I am proud to introduce a new version of Foo YC-20, the Yamaha YC-20 software synthesizer. This release is vastly more efficient than the previous version. The downside is that compiling this version takes quite a lot of resources. The YC-20 is a divide-down combo organ designed in the late 60's. This emulation faithfully copies the sound, features and flaws of the original organ. Main features of this synthesizer: * 61 keys * Two main voice sections * Switchable bass section * No polyphony restrictions * A realism control to add flaws found in the real organ Flaws: * Takes quite a bit of CPU power * No touch vibrato The emulation is written in Faust and uses Jack for audio and MIDI. All controls of the synthesizer can be controlled with MIDI. There is an undocumented "easter egg". Any command line argument given to the program will be used as the configuration file name. The state of the organ controls are read from the file and the file will be overwritten with the current setup when the synthesizer is shut down.

Mixxx 1.9.0 beta1 and Mixxx 1.8.2 released

by RJ Ryan

Hello all, Since our October 5 release of Mixxx 1.8.0, the Mixxx Development Team have been hard at work on our next major release, Mixxx 1.9.0. Today, we are proud to announce Mixxx 1.9.0 beta1 and Mixxx 1.8.2. Among the new features in 1.9.0 Beta1 are: - *Shoutcast / Icecast support* - Mixxx can now broadcast over the internet (heavily requested feature) - *External Mixer Support* - The new Sound Hardware preferences pane allows you to route each playback deck separately, which allows you to use Mixxx with an external mixer. - *ReplayGain normalization* - A user from our forum worked closely with our developers to fully implement volume normalization, including performing the ReplayGain analysis for tracks which are not tagged. - *Waveform Gain* - The scrolling waveforms now scale according to the channel gain for better visual feedback. - *Key lock buttons* - Formerly known as "pitch-independent time stretch", there are now easily accessible key-lock buttons for each for deck. - *Revamped default skin* - Since the original source material for the Outline Netbook skin was lost eons ago, our artist completely redid it from scratch and tweaked it for better visibility. The new skin has also added EQ kill switches. - *HSS1394 support* (Windows, OS X) - Mixxx now supports firewire HSS1394 MIDI devices such as the Stanton SCS 1 series. - *Improved FLAC support* - We're now using libFLAC directly for smoother FLAC decoding. - *Revamped metadata parsing* - Integration of TagLib<http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib.html> allows Mixxx to parse more metadata from songs, and do it more consistently. - *Metadata writing* - Mixxx can now write changes in song metadata back to disk. This feature is off by default, and can be enabled in the Library preferences pane. - *Millisecond time display* - The time counters in Mixxx now have an extra millisecond display. - *Library improvements:* - *Played column - *The library now indicates whether a song has been played in the current session already, and also counts the total number of times the song has been played. - *Ratings column - 5* stars, no stars, or anywhere in between<http://www.mail-archive.com/mixxx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03273.html> . - *Better search *- Search now searches in more columns, and by-term instead of by-phrase. - *Revamped iTunes integration* - A rewrite yielded a significant speedup of iTunes parsing. - *Faster library scanning - *The library scanner should perform much better on large libraries. - *New MIDI mappings:* - Vestax Typhoon - Hercules DJ Console Mk4 - Numark MIXTRACK - Pioneer CDJ-350 - *Updated MIDI mappings:* - Hercules DJ Control MP3 - Hercules DJ Control e2 - Hercules DJ Control Steel - Vestax VCI-100 - Reloop Digital Jockey 2 - *Tons of bug fixes and performance improvements!* Mixxx 1.8.2 is a maintenance release and has many of the same bug fixes, MIDI mappings, and performance improvements that 1.9.0 Beta1 does. You can read more details about this release on our blog<http://mixxxblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/mixxx-190-beta1-and-182-released.html>. You can download Mixxx 1.9.0b1 and Mixxx 1.8.2 from out website: http://mixxx.org. Best regards, RJ Ryan
