Hi list,
I'm happy to announce the release of Spek - an acoustic spectrum
analyser / spectrogram viewer.
Spek is a multi-platform app available on GNU/Linux and Windows.
Spek is written in Vala, it uses GTK+ and GStreamer bindings.
Read more about it on the official website [1] and on my blog [2]
Cheers,
Alex

Arpage alpha 0.3.3 is now available on sourceforge in tarball and SVN
Main Page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/arpage/
Tarball:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/arpage/files/Alpha%20Release%200.3/arpage-…
SVN access: svn co https://arpage.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/arpage arpage
** 0.3.3 New Features:
(1) The state of each arpeggiator is saved when the transport stops, or the
application is shut down. This is a precursor to actually
saving/restoring
patches on demand, by name.
These files are stored to ~/.arpage, which is created if not there.
** Fixes:
(1) The initial patch number is now sent when the transport starts rolling.
** Extras:
(1) Demo mp3s and session xml files available on sourceforge, as
"arpage_extras-0.3.3.tar.gz"
Copy the xml files to ~/.arpage to recreate the demo settings.
Demos were made using WhySynth DSSI plugin w/ ghostess
(a jack-dssi GUI host).
** 0.3 New Features:
(1) Enhanced latching functionality:
- New "Tap-out" mode - when enabled, any note in a pattern that is
latched by Controller 64 ON can be removed from the latched pattern
by tapping the note again.
- Notes which are still held when a latched pattern is released by
Controller 64 OFF will remain in the arpeggiated pattern until they
are released.
(2) Status "lights" for active/inactive status, MIDI output and pattern
latch status
(3) UI should now be small enough for netbook screens
(4) Comprehensive tooltips are now provided
** Fixes:
(1) Timing drift is corrected
(2) Latching should be much more stable
(3) Note length functionality has been corrected
Enjoy! Let me know how it works for you.
jacksampler-0.0.1 has been released.
Overview of Changes in jacksampler-0.0.1:
-----------------------------------------
* initial public release
What is jacksampler?
--------------------
jacksampler is a sampler which supports MIDI input using JACK, and outputs the
audio data using JACK. It is configured using a simple text file which
describes which audio file corresponds to which MIDI note.
It is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2

spectmorph-0.0.2 has been released. This is the first publicly announce
release.
Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.0.2:
----------------------------------------
* bugfixes
* include proper phases, so phase-correct reconstruction of samples is possible
* new programs:
- smstrip - removes debugging information from SpectMorph model files
- smextract - extracts data from SpectMorph models, for developers only for now
* added --no-noise / --no-sines switches for smplay
* added -s switch for smenc, to create stripped models
* use boost numeric bindings + lapack for ideal phase/magnitude estimation (smenc -O2) - slow!
* SSE optimizations and other speedups for fast phase/magnitude estimation (smenc -O1)
* use odd/centered FFT to be able to reconstruct phases from FFT data (smenc -O0)
* use different thresholding scheme for encoder, detecting more partials
* document API with doxygen
* move Encoder and other classes to libspectmorph
* added python binding, capable of reading SpectMorph model files
* added automated tests
* added manual pages for smenc, smplay, smvisualize and smstrip
* added overview document in docs directory
What is SpectMorph?
-------------------
SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of
musical instruments. This should allow constructing hybrid sounds, for instance
a sound between a trumpet and a flute. Also interpolating between two samples
of the same instrument (different attack velocity of a piano) could be
interesting.
SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3
SpectMorph currently is in the early stages of development, which means that it
is not yet ready to be used by end users.

There are sound examples on the website which demonstrate the sound quality of
the current SpectMorph models using piano samples.

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 in one input and two output ports to the jack audio graph.
guitarix provide 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 0.08.0 comes with a bunch of major changes :
* new portmap window
* new BiQuad Filter
* new Moog Filter
* new Flanger
* new post processing tube3
* new two 10 band parametric EQ's
* new oversample mode selector(1x -8x)
* fix some bugs in midi out
* reworked tuner interface (show frequency(hz))
* new configure options (see ./waf --help for more info)
have fun

For capture, guitarix uses the great 'jack_capture'
(version >= 0.9.30) written by Kjetil S. Matheussen.
If you don't have it installed,
you can look here:

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:

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

________________________________________________________________________
For faust users :
All used Faust dsp files are included in /guitarix/src/faust,
the resulting cc files are in /guitarix/src/faust-cc
The tools we use to convert (post-processing and plot)
the resulting faust cpp files to the needed include format,
stay in the /guitarix/tools directory.

gst123-0.0.3 has been released.
Overview of Changes in gst123-0.0.3:
------------------------------------
* fixed buggy key handling when keys are autorepeating
* restore proper terminal settings after Ctrl+Z
* added keys for mute and volume control
* display video codec when present
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.
It is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2
