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.). For a full list of changes see the
ChangeLog:
http://gjacktransport.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gjacktransport/trunk/Chang…
have fun,

« in-between design: rediscovering collaboration in digital art »
make art is an international festival dedicated to free/libre arts
and technologies, distributed digital artworks and net art. The sixth
edition of make art focuses on works halfway between art and design,
collaborative, scalable and participative methods. The adventure
"in-between design" begins here, to be imagined in this creative
development, where everyone can participate and where artwork keeps on
evolving. Are these projects just curiosities or a real alternative to
the graphic conformism ruled by an industry that dictates its aesthetic
codes? Please come and join us to answer this question...

- Adjustable EQ shelves can no longer be equal
- UTF-8 fixes for Rhythmbox track source
- Fixed duplicate promotional tracks from appearing in library

Hi,
I'd like to announce that my LV2 port of the famous mda e-piano
plug-in is ready for download! [1]
When I was checking out the mda-lv2 ports, I noticed that the
instruments were not actually playable. I could not get them to work
in either lv2_jack_host or in Ardour2 or Ardour3.
So , here is the first and only (to my knowledge) native LV2 port of
the mda e-piano. There is no GUI yet, but once I figured out how to
add a GUI I'll be adding one.
I'd be very happy to receive comments and suggestions on the code.
My next target will be the mdaPiano plug-in---I might actually start
soon when the GUI stuff causes me too much of a headache...
Best,
Rekado

Hello
EMutrix is a simple, easy-to-use graphical mixer application for EMU 1010 based cards
like the E-MU 1212m, E-Mu 1616m, E-MU 1820, and now E-MU 0404 PCI models.
The EMutrix version 0.2 source package is available for download at
http://emutrix.googlecode.com.
It is mostly functional, allowing arbitrary routing between the card's multiple inputs,
outputs and ALSA, setting clock rate and pads. This new version features some basic
0404 PCI support (not tested, as I don't own one), bugfixes, code cleanup and some GUI changes,
like the ability to hide unwanted channels and operate pairs of L/R channels together.
More features to come in future versions. Try it out if you have an E-Mu
card.
Any comments & feedback welcome.
Greetings,
Camilo
Hello all,
After more than a year's worth of work by over 30 developers and artists,
Mixxx 1.8.0 has finally been released. This follows the longest beta cycle
we have ever had, in which over 100 bugs were fixed. Mixxx has never been
more stable and ready for use by both new and experienced DJs!
The biggest changes since Mixxx 1.7.2 are:
- Looping support
- Support for up to 32 hot-cues per deck.
- Brand new library with support for playlists, crates (tags), and a
bulk-analyze mode for processing and annotating tracks.
- Support for reading iTunes (OSX and Windows) and Rhythmbox (Linux)
libraries.
- An Auto-DJ mode for when you need to take a bathroom break :)
- A suite of 5 brand-new skins created by a professional designer who
joined our team.
- Updated support for a number of MIDI controllers
- Ability to use multiple MIDI controllers at once
- Ramping pitch-bend support
- An audio plugin system for supporting proprietary codecs such as M4A
- An advanced caching system for all hotcues, loops, and recently played
sections of tracks.
More info can be found on our release blog post :
http://mixxxblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/mixxx-180-released.html
A brief history of Mixxx can be found on our Press page:

We’re also well into the development cycle for our next release, which will
focus on the integration of Shoutcast/Icecast for live broadcasting.
Best regards,
