The "Mudita24" package is a modification of alsa-tools' envy24control:
an application controlling the digital mixer, channel gains and other
hardware settings for sound cards based on the ice1712 chipset (
http://alsa.cybermirror.org/manuals/icensemble/envy24.pdf ). It
also displays a level meter for each input and output channel and
maintains peak level indicators. This utility is preferable to
alsamixer(1) for those with ice1712-based cards: M-Audio Delta 1010,
Delta 1010LT, Delta DiO 2496, Delta 66, Delta 44, Delta 410 and
Audiophile 2496. TerraTec EWS 88MT, EWS 88D, EWX 24/96, DMX 6Fire,
Phase 88. Hoontech SoundTrack DSP 24, SoundTrack DSP 24 Value,
SoundTrack DSP 24 Media 7.1. Event Electronics EZ8. Digigram VX442.
Lionstracs, Mediastaton. Terrasoniq TS 88. Partial support for
Roland/Edirol DA-2496.
Now available, version 1.03:
source: http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/mudita24-1.0.3.tar.gz
binary: http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/mudita24-1.0.3.x86_64.tgz
patch: http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/mudita24-envy24control-0.6-to-1.0.3.pat…
'envy24control' is part of the "alsa-tools" package. For example,
under CCRMA's Fedora repos, it's part of
alsa-tools-1.0.22-1.1.fc12.ccrma.x86_64. This "mudita24" package
updates/replaces the alsa-tools /usr/bin/envy24control application.
The default "./configure ; make ; sudo make install" process on the
source-code leaves a binary in /usr/local/bin/envy24control and places
the man-page in /usr/local/man/man1/envy24control.1 . This means you
can still use the standard alsa-tools version in
/usr/bin/envy24control .

Changes since recent 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 releases:
* Peak-meter display is in dBFS, corresponding to displayed dBFS
peak-meter value and scale-widget dB labeling.
* Hardware mixer input attenuators provide more precise control to the
0 to -48dB range of adjustment, turning the associated input "off"
when the slider is moved to bottom of the scale. External MIDI control
of the hardware mixer via --midichannel and --midienhanced options
unaffected by this change.
* For M-Audio Delta series, add display of "Delta IEC958 Input Status"
under "Hardware Settings."
* Command line options --no_scale_mark, --channel_group_modulus affect
layout and presence of dB markings for sliders.
--channel_group_modulus allows override of Left/Right grouping of dB
labels for multichannel applications.
* Control of peak-meter coloring via --lights_color and --bg_color
options. Reasonable default colors used when these options are not
set. (1.0.1's use of Gtk skin to provide an automatic color choice
didn't work out that well on some systems.)
* Fixed command-line options --card and --device to allow valid ALSA
card and CTL device names
( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602900 ).
* Profiles created in ~/.envy24control and not "~/envy24control"
( http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4738 ).
Summary of previous updates from envy24control 0.6.0 (GIT HEAD) to "1.0.3":
(1) Implemented "Peak Hold" functionality in meters; reimplemented
meters to do away with inefficient "faux LED" peak-meter display.
(2) Significantly reduced the number of timer interrupts generated by
this program by slowing down all updates to 10 per second --
previously meters updated 25x/second!
(3) All volumes are represented as decibels, including the 0 to -48dB
range of the hardware peak-meters, the 0 -to- -48dB&off attenuation
for all inputs to the digital mixer, the 0 -to- -63dB attenuation of
the analog DAC, and the +18 -to- -63dB attenuation/amplification of
the analog ADC.
(4) All gtk "scale" widgets have dB legends; the "PageUp" "PageDown"
keys allow rapid movement between the marked levels, and "UpArrow" and
"DownArrow" allow fine-adjustment.

PS: Why "mudita24" ? An alternate name to avoid confusion with
"envy24control 0.6.0" until changes in this version propagate
upstream. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envy#In_philosophy "In
Buddhism the third of the four divine abidings is mudita, taking joy
in the good fortune of another. This virtue is considered the antidote
to envy and the opposite of schadenfreude."
Dear all,
I've started a new initiative under the umbrella of LinuxMusicians,
namely publishing an editorial on Linux audio developments and Linux
audio related news. My goal is to publish an editorial at the beginning
of each month to cover what happened in the month before. The first
editorial covering the month July is finished and published:
http://linuxmusicians.autostatic.com/2010/08/05/editorial-august-2010
I'd really appreciate any feedback, remarks etc. and any input for the
next edition is more than welcome. This time I mainly focused on the
releases of new versions of apps and new projects. From now on I want to
keep track of that so I can elaborate more on the news part.
Best,
Jeremy
After some talks with falktx I publiced new version, which has Makefile and (by my own initiative) Debian-related files.
Since build system may store several builds, e.g. with various prefixes, Makefile manages by default last created build.
To change default build run:
$ ./configure --default-build=build_name
Or run
$ ./configure --builds
to get list of available builds.
Also, install script now has one argument to override install root (default is "/").
E.g., if you type:
./configure --prefix=/usr --buildname=build
./install ~/packages

On behalf of the guitarix team I'm proud to announce
Guitarix Version 0.11
Guitarix is a simple Linux Rock Guitar amplifier and is designed
to achieve nice thrash/metal/rock/blues guitar sounds.
Guitarix uses the Jack Audio Connection Kit as its audio backend
and brings to the jack audio graph a mono amplifier input/output port,
and a FX mono input with two (stereo) output ports.
Guitarix provides a jack midi input port to connect a midi controller
(midi learn) and a (3 channel) jack midi output port, feed by a
(scalable) mix of the tuner and a beat-detector.
Release 0.11.0 comes with following changes :
Users visible changes:
- new version of the impulse response parameter editor. You can
now graphically define a gain line to be applied to the IR data,
e.g. emphasize a part of the early reflections or damping the
reverb tail to make it fit to your guitar sound.
- the multi-line distortion effect now has 4 frequency bands and
is better optimized
- fix regression from version 0.10.0: now the default preset file is
created again if it doesn't exist (e.g. in new installations).
Changes that might be interesting for Developers:
We put the Guitarix widgets into a library, with the goal of
making them usable independently from Guitarix. You can build
it as shared library and there's a c++ (gtkmm) wrapper, a python
wrapper and glade support. Check it out and look for examples
in those directories, or just build a nice looking display with the
glade editor, and of course ask in our Guitarix forum (it's still
alpha).
As a side note, Guitarix is now in debian (unstable), of course at
the moment still the previous version 0.10.
have fun

For extra Impulse Responses, guitarix uses the
zita-convolver library, and,
for up/down sampling we use zita-resampler,
both written by Fons Adriaensen.
If you don't have it installed, get it here:

CALL FOR PROJECTS: extended deadline, *August 2nd*
The sixth edition of make art – in-between design: rediscovering
collaboration in digital art – will take place in Poitiers (FR), from
the 4th to the 7th of November 2010.
make art is an international festival dedicated to the integration
of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) in digital art.
make art offers performances, presentations, workshops and an
exhibition, focusing on the encounter between digital art and free
software.
*in-between design: rediscovering collaboration in digital art*
Today's market production accelerates the spread of non-critical and
standardized aesthetics, by means of locked top-down distribution
mechanisms and a series of tools that enforce it. At the same time
new forms of methodologies inspired or powered by free software,
participatory practices and peer-to-peer networks are fueling many
Internet subcultures. Some of these emerging practices will lead to
competitive social productions, while other will remain as pure
artistic experiments.
For example, a common hypothesis is that by adopting production and
distribution methods based on free software and open standards and by
sharing the sources of one's work with others, the collective knowledge
base and aesthetic sensibilities can freely interact to explore
uncharted, hybrid directions which no longer reflect the supremacy of a
single idea. Such an assumption raises several questions:
- Does the sharing of artworks "recipes" and tools help debunk
the myth of the isolated design genius?
- By leaving the possibility of ongoing development and refinement,
is it possible to ever produce a "final" design?
- Can these methods and technologies inspire new forms of creation or
tools, beyond self-referential productions?
- Is it wishful thinking to approach collaborative graphical design
in the same way as an open source software project?
- Is Free and Open Source licensing a catalyst for creation or does
it add an extra level of complexity?
- Can the limitation of one license trigger new forms of constrained
creativity?
We're currently seeking new, innovative media art and design works and
projects focusing on the above theme and questions:
- graphical artworks and installations
- lectures
- project presentations
- software and hardware demos
We're also seeking audiovisual performances that will take place
during the festival evenings.
The submitted projects must fit this focus and be made in a free/libre
and open source environment, this includes both its optional
dependencies or production tools and the operating system. We are
asking you to publish the sources of your project under a free culture
license of your choice or release it into the public domain.
Projects that do not meet these criteria will not be considered.
How to apply
Submission form and a list of additional requirements are available at:
http://makeart.goto10.org/call/
Extended deadline: *Monday 2nd August 2010*
Incomplete or late applications will not be processed.
Timeline
2nd of August 2010 – Deadline call for proposals

Hi all!
QuteCsound 0.6.0 is finally ready! QuteCsound has now come of age as it
recently celebrated two years since its first svn commit! This release
takes QuteCsound way beyond my original expectations thanks to the
encouragement, ideas and work from many users. This is another
milestone release, with the implementation of the new widget format,
which opens the door to new functionality and extensibility.
QuteCsound is a frontend for Csound featuring a highlighting
editor with autocomplete, interactive widgets and integrated help. It
can open files created in MacCsound, and aims to be a simple yet
powerful and complete development environment for Csound.
QuteCsound has been tested on Windows, OS X, Linux and Solaris,
and it is free software released under the LGPLv2 or at your option
GPLv3.
There are binary packages for Windows and OS X, and a source package
for other platforms.
You can get it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qutecsound/files/QuteCsound/0.6.0/
There's more information here (along with an overdue home page revamp):
http://qutecsound.sourceforge.net/
<!--break-->
There is also an experimental package for OS X (called "-full"), which
contains Csound inside, so you don't need a separate Csound installation,
(which means it will work immediately without installation - very handy if
you don't have the root password for a system).
Please try it and let us know any issues.
Questions, comments and suggestions for QuteCsound are very welcome
and can be posted to the main Csound mailing list, but better still,
join the QuteCsound users mailing list at:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qutecsound-users
Thanks as usual to the testing team, who made sure regular users get a
smooth ride by taking a bumpy ride...
Thanks especially to Francois Pinot, Andy Fillebrown, Joachim Heintz
and Rene Djack, but also to the translators and the rest of the testers.
QuteCsound is now accepting donations. If you find QuteCsound useful
and have some money to spare, please consider donating to the project,
to support development:

New in version 0.6.0:
* New XML Widget format for storing widgets. If file only contains the
old widget format a backup file is saved just in case.
* The new format allows many new funtionality like:
- Font, Font size, Font Color and background in a larger number of
widgets.
- Rounded borders and border width in various widgets.
- Font sizes are now approximate pixel values, which provides
better cross-platform font cmpatibility and a broader selection of
sizes
- x and y zoom for scope and graph widget
- If only old widget format is present in the file, a backup copy
is saved with extension .old-format
- Minimum and maximum values for spinbox, controller and scroll number
- Adjustable ranges for controller widgets
* Presets for Widgets are now available, and they will be stored as
XML text in the csd file. They can be used from the right click menu
in the widget panel. Reserved channels "_GetPresetName", "_GetPresetNumber",
"_SetPreset" and "_SetPresetIndex", which allows control of presets from
Csound or other widgets.
* New reserved channel "_MBrowse" for buttons, which allows selection
of multiple files, which are separated by the "," character.
* Font scaling and Font Offset configuration option for control over
global font rendering size.
* Added bookmarks in inspector (any comment starting by ";;" in a csd
file or "##" in python file is treated as a bookmark)
* Added option to save using Windows or Unix Line Endings (only for
saved files-text in editor still uses Unix line breaks...)
* Added option for specifying python executable
* New Live Event Controller, which simplifies usage of live event
sheets.
* Implemented looping and setting/saving loop points for live event sheets
* Added "append rows" and "appends columns" for event sheets
* Graph widget now sends values when an index is selected
* Added second channel to Graph widget which sends/receives f-table
number instead of index.
* New Filter Lab, Mixdown_Player, SF_Splitter, SF_Merger, Jukebox,
Spatialization examples
* Auto indent when previous line is indented
* Added option to have widgets open the properties dialog
automatically when they are created (enabled by default)
* Added center vertically and center horizontally widget layout options
* Added menu option to display file information.
* Added menu option to set full screen view.
* Added option to hide toolbar
* Added menu item for showing Opcode Quick Reference page from manual
* Added option to change shortcut for Utilities Dialog
* Default "New File" is now set in a text box in the config dialog,
not a separate file.
* Added filtering for some unnecessary console messages from Csound.
* Added auto join option to minimize user interaction when opening
orc/sco files.
Fixed in version 0.6.0:
* Horrible memory leak from API graphs, QuteCsound consumed memory at
a terrible pace.
* -i flag is not added to options if it is empty. This is done to
allow using only flags like: "-+rtaudio=alsa -odac" without forcing -i
+ Fixed beeping when key is pressed in widget layout (OS X)
* About Dialog is now shorter for smaller screens.
* Improved syntax popup menu (now distinguishes whether first word is
a variable or an opcode to decide whether to pop up menu on next
word). Don't show syntax completion if line previously has "opcode"
or "instr" text.
* If something has been typed, autocomplete does not add the output
arguments, just the opcode name and input arguments.
* Non csd files no longer parse the widget text, even if it is there.
* Fixed addition of blank lines at end when saving
* Record button unlatches on stop.
* Fixed inspector update when switching tabs
* Status bar syntax is now only shown for csd and orc files
* Non python and non csd files are now not syntax highlighted
* Fixed editor sluggishness by running the inspector update on a slow
timer.
* Added logic to avoid completion pop up menu if an opcode has
already been used in the line or if there is a = operator in the line
* Auto complete now adds the correct rate text (previously the same
text was added, no matter what rate was chosen)
* Widgets no longer disappear if dragged to be too small
* Reorganized configuration dialog to make it fit in smaller screens
* Inspector now maintains state (collapsed/expanded) of items
* Fixed browse button for SSDIR
* Removed option to remove scrollbars. They are always active
now. This option was added when there was instability from scrollbars.
* Tooltip showing channel name shows up in edit mode as well.
* fixed bug in qutecsound::runUtility ("free" was being called on
argv which is allocated on stack, not heap)
* Truncate jack names if greater than 16 characters
* Graph widgets now paint curves, even if they are created after Csound
has started.
* Event sheet actions now register as a single event for undo purposes.
* Added kill Line and kill to End of Line actions.
* Fixed pasting of rich text in editor (paste from open office calc was
resulting in extraneous text and formating).
Internal changes in 0.6.0:
* New build system thanks to Andy Fillebrown, which keeps build
products more organized and performs a "configure" style step in
qmake which looks for the required dependencies
* New concurrency model. invalue now changes the channels for all
widgets synchronously. Might also have a positive effect on
performance, as widgets are only updated through a timer which will
usually run slower than k-rate. Threading model is now clearer, and
should be now crash proof (hopefully).
Hi All,
I try to send to LAU lists but somehow it gets hung up somewhere so I will
try to announce this way.
In short, I am having an unadvertised 5 day sale on Indamixx Pro SL. Anyone
interested can contact me, or visit the link below.
Just thought there might be some who would like to know.
