http://gjacktransport.sourceforge.net/ is a tool that provides graphical control over JACK-transport [1]. It features - customizable keyboard shortcuts - custom start/end markers for transport slider. - memory presets for start/end markers. - flexible layout & window - (optional) session-management via LASH. - load/save current settings from a custom resource-config file. - Big Clock display (gjackclock) and is intended for JACK apps which do not themselves provide a timeline (fi. ecasound, xjadeo,..) and to supplement other apps which do (fi. ardour, hydrogen, seq24,..). New in 0.5.0 are *.desktop files (to launch it from the menu) and and overhaul of 'gjackclock'. The timecode can be rendered in using a fixed-space table which allows to use non-monospaced fonts for the display. enjoy, robin [1] JACK provides a transport interfaces for starting, stopping and repositioning a set of clients: http://jackaudio.org/files/docs/html/transport-design.html -- Robin Gareus mail: robin(a)gareus.org site: http://gareus.org/ chat: xmpp:rgareus@ik.nu blog: http://rg42.org/ lab : http://citu.fr/ Public Key at http://pgp.mit.edu/ Fingerprint : 7107 840B 4DC9 C948 076D 6359 7955 24F1 4F95 2B42

by Josep Andreu

Hi We have the pleasure to announce the release of rakarrack 0.6.1 Rakarrack is a richly featured multi-effects processor emulating a guitar effects pedalboard. Effects include compressor, expander, noise gate, graphic equalizer, parametric equalizer, exciter, shuffle, convolotron, valve, flanger, dual flange, chorus, musicaldelay, arpie, echo with reverse playback, musical delay, reverb, digital phaser, analogic phaser, synthfilter, varyband, ring, wah-wah, alien-wah, mutromojo, harmonizer, looper and four flexible distortion modules including sub-octave modulation and dirty octave up. Most of the effects engine is built from modules found in the excellent software synthesizer ZynAddSubFX. Presets and user interface are optimized for guitar, but Rakarrack processes signals in stereo while it does not apply internal band-limiting filtering, and thus is well suited to all musical instruments and vocals. Rakarrack is designed for Linux distributions with Jack Audio Connection Kit.

Improvements: --------------------------------------------------------------- - Looper, adds metronome and possibility to sync with jack transport and Tap Tempo. - Compressor (Final Limiter) - MIDI Converter octave changer. - Tap Tempo can be set in main screen. - Speed up the preset change process. - Upsample x7,x8,x9,x10,x11,x12 (hope you have a fast computer :-)) - RBFilter "Q" modes. - Effects that depends of internal preset selected (MuTroMojo, WahWah) now display the original internal preset.

[ANN] AlsaPlayer-0.99.1 is out !

by Dominique Michel

This is a bug fix release. A big thanks to all that send fixes to me, without you, the AlsaPlayer will not be in live. See the ChangeLog for the details and the names of the contributors : http://alsaplayer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/alsaplayer/trunk/alsaplayer/Ch… I will also stress you to contribute to the AlsaPlayer. At least 2 things need to be fixed. The first one is the jack output plugin that is using deprecated functions. The second one is the resampling. For that, libsamplerate will give a better quality. Enjoy the AlsaPlayer, Dominique Michel -- "We have the heroes we deserve."

Renoise 2.6 - Geek Edition

by Dac Chartrand

Renoise 2.6 - Geek Edition # FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday, November 5th 2010 - It's official. We are pleased to announce that Renoise 2.6 is ready for production. Over three months of community driven beta testing has put the software through the ringer. User feedback has resulted in our most innovative release to date. Rock solid stable, as usual. What's new? # SCRIPT EVERYTHING USING A TRULY OPEN API: Lua is a light-weight programming language, which together with the Renoise API allows you to build add-ons quickly and easily. "Firefox has extensions. Renoise has Lua scripts. You can customize the user interface, manipulate musical elements in your song, control MIDI, audio, and OpenSoundControl, or actually dive in and create features Renoise doesn’t have yet." -Peter Kirn, Create Digital Music Lua scripting, introduced as part of the beta cycle in July, has already resulted in a plethora of new tools, as well as native support for the following hardware: AlphaTrack, BCF-2000, BCR-2000, KONTROL49, FaderPort, microKONTROL, nanoKONTROL, Launchpad, Remote SL-MKII, Nocturn, Monome, Ohm64, iPad via TouchOSC... All created by the Renoise community on their own dime, just for the fun of it! Now that Renoise 2.6 is stable and ready for the public at large, we can only imagine what's next. Note to hardware companies: About those extra units sold? You're welcome. Check out the new tools page for more: http://tools.renoise.com/ # SAMPLE AUTOSEEK: Samples have a new setting, "Autoseek", which will, when enabled, make them behave like a traditional audio channel. You can start playing back the song at any position, and the sample will automatically seek to the current position in the song without having to be triggered. # AND MORE: * Open Sound Control (OSC) Server Support * Duplex - MIDI/OSC controller framework * DSSI Support on Linux, 64-bit Linux Version * Support for CAF, AIFC, SND and AU Files * Linux & Mac OSX Performance Tweaks * Minor usability and functionality refinements galore! * The full scoop, here: http://www.renoise.com/about/what-s-new-2-6/ # ABOUT RENOISE: Renoise is a sophisticated music sequencer and audio processing application for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. It's a unique all-in-one music production environment for your personal computer. Renoise's rock solid stability makes it ideal as a live jamming tool. You can map almost every part of the interface to a MIDI controller, run your guitar through a Line-In Device and distort it with native effects, or just use it as a drum machine; a sampler on steroids. Renoise's open API allows programmers to easily extend Renoise. With a few lines of code you can add the features or tools that you always wanted but never dared to ask for. Renoise is based on mod trackers. Mod trackers are characterized by displaying and editing music in an easily understood grid known as a pattern. These patterns are akin to sheet music, but are displayed alphanumerically instead of with musical notation. Renoise boasts full ReWire and Jack support, FX and instrument VST/AU/LADSPA/DSSI plug-in support, automatic plug-in delay compensation, multi-core load balancing, MIDI I/O, OpenSoundControl, audio recording, flexible audio output, graphical & numerical parameter automation, modular parameter routing, and much more. Due to its keyboard driven workflow, it makes the creation of desktop music far quicker than in a traditional MIDI based sequencer. For experienced users, and those who don't necessarily want to be bound to piano roll systems to music, it offers a refreshing approach to composing and is one of the most efficient ways to do so using a computer. Instead of spending hours cobbling beats together with a mouse, why not do it in seconds with just a few keystrokes in Renoise? Whether you're an audio veteran or just starting out, Renoise is a fantastic addition to any bedroom or professional studio. Got laptop? Use Renoise. # SCREENSHOT: * http://www.renoise.com/uploads/images/screenshots/rns26matrix.jpg # DOWNLOAD: * http://www.renoise.com/download/renoise/ # WEBSITE: * http://www.renoise.com/

Band from Vienna publishes world's first album produced exclusively with Free Software

by XBloome

*'XBLOOME', BAND FROM VIENNA PUBLISHES WORLD'S FIRST ALBUM PRODUCED EXCLUSIVELY WITH FREE SOFTWARE* After their debut CD "...Done!" in 2006, and the limited edition release "Remixed: Happy Rebel" in 2009, the band XBloome from Vienna is proud to announce their third album. "X marks the spot" covers multiple genres: Whether one prefers dancing to whipping disco-beats, dream away to dark-spherical sounds or simply chill while enjoying the smooth-jazzy side of XBloome - this multifarious album is still revealing new details and facets after repeated playing. As maybe the first album ever, "X marks the spot" was produced exclusively using Free Software (Open Source) and without a professional studio or graphic designers. With this 'proof of concept' album, XBloome have debunked several prejudices about feasability, professionality and quality of free and self-made productions. Art needs exchange to live. That's why XBloome have made a point of sharing their experiences: On their website, they offer other artists how-tos, tutorials and templates [1]. Consistently, their label of choice to release this album on was "Edelbrand-Records", whose priority lies in the promotion of musical-cultural exchange between artists. Like all other XBloome albums, "X marks the spot" will not only be available for sale on CD at their concerts, but as of November 1st 2010 will be obtainable as a free download on www.xbloome.com [2] - in full length and high-quality, under a Creative-Commons license. XBloome will bring the new album on tour, starting on November 12th, playing at the "5 year Edelbrand-Records" event at the "Arena" in Vienna. Additional information and background-details about the production are available on their band website [3].

[ann] gjacktransport 0.4.0

by Robin Gareus

http://gjacktransport.sourceforge.net/ is a tool that provides graphical control over JACK-transport [1]. It features - customizable keyboard shortcuts - custom start/end markers for transport slider. - memory presets for start/end markers. - flexible layout & window - (optional) session-management via LASH. and is intended for JACK apps which do not themselves provide a timeline (fi. ecasound, xjadeo,..) and to supplement other apps which do (fi. ardour, hydrogen, seq24,..). Since 0.4.0 it is also possible to - load/save current settings from a custom resource-config file. This is the first update of gjacktransport in over 3 years, basically motivated because LASH is less commonly used these days and LASH was the only way to retain settings of gjacktransport across sessions. There are a few other minor updates (removed deprecated gtk-functions, fixed some compiler warnings, etc.).
