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-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. ________________________________________________________________________ regards Hermann Meyer, James Warden, Andreas Degert

MMA 1.6 has been released

by Bob van der Poel

A stable release, version 1.6, of MMA--Musical MIDI Accompaniment is available for downloading. In addition to a number of bug fixes and optimizations, MMA now features: - A new track, the Plectrum. This can generate a realistic MIDI guitar. Getting a realistic guitar sound using MIDI has been notoriously difficult as calculating the notes in each chord and strumming patterns can be very tricky. Now the MMA PLECTRUM pattern takes care of most of this for you so all you have to do is to enter the chords names and how when you want each string to be strummed or plucked. An example is available at: http://www.mellowood.ca/mma/examples.html#plectrum - Improved chord placement anywhere in a bar. - Added MidiCopyright, MidiCue and MidiText commands. - Improved lyric generation for Karaoke mode. MMA is a accompaniment generator -- it creates midi tracks for a soloist to perform with. User supplied files contain pattern selections, chords, and MMA directives. For full details please visit: http://www.mellowood.ca/mma/ If you have any questions or comments, please send them to: bob(a)mellowood.ca -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca

Rubber Band Library v1.5.0 now available

by Chris Cannam

Rubber Band Library v1.5.0 is now available. http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband/ This release adds a key-frame mapping facility for managing variable stretch ratios within a single offline time-stretch pass, plus a more reliable transient detection mode for soft instruments and band-limited transient detectors to improve performance with compressed or lower-quality material.
