mudita24 1.03 -- improved envy24control mixer/router for ice1712-based sound-cards

by Niels Mayer

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 .

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. -- Niels Mayer http://nielsmayer.com 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."

LinuxMusicians Monthly Round-Up #1 - August 2010

by Jeremy Jongepier

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

JACK Network Manager 0.2.3.1

by Mike Cookson

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

[LAD] [ANN] guitarix-0.11.0 released

by Andreas Degert

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 _________________________________________________________________________ guitarix is licensed under the GPL. Project page with screenshots: http://guitarix.sourceforge.net/ download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/ please report bugs and suggestions in our forum here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/guitarix/ ________________________________________________________________________ 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: http://old.notam02.no/arkiv/src/?M=D 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: http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/index.html We use the marvellous faust compiler to build the amp and effects and will say thanks to : Julius Smith http://ccrma.stanford.edu/realsimple/faust/ : Albert Graef http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/examples.html#Faust : Yann Orlary http://faust.grame.fr/ ________________________________________________________________________ For faust users : All used Faust dsp files are included in /guitarix/src/faust, the resulting cc files are in /guitarix/src/faust-generated 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. ________________________________________________________________________ regards Hermann Meyer, James Warden, Andreas Degert

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.

QuteCsound 0.6.0 Released

by Andres Cabrera

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/  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: http://sourceforge.net/project/project_donations.php?group_id=227265 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).
