New software: fishnpitch - a realtime JACK MIDI tuner

by Robert Schwarz

Hey all, I want to announce the alpha release of some coding I just finished. It's a small command line tool that creates JACK MIDI ports and allows tuning to arbitrary scales (via .scl files) with any MIDI capable synthesizers. Incoming note messages are translated via pitch bend and distributed among several midi channels. You can get the code via GIT on http://github.com/leethargo/fishnpitch It seems to work very well for my purposes, but still lacks deeper testing. This is also my first time working with JACK, so any feedback is very welcome. Cheers, -- Robert Schwarz <mail(a)rschwarz.net> Get my public key at http://rschwarz.net/key.asc

arpage 0.2 alpha - JACK Sync'd Arpeggiator - available on sourceforge in tarball and SVN

by Mark Vitek

Hello all, The second development release of arpage is available on sourceforge in source tarball and SVN formats: Tarball: http://sourceforge.net/projects/arpage/ SVN: https://arpage.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/arpage/branches https://arpage.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/arpage/tags I'd like to thank everyone for the feedback I received on 0.1 - Please check this out and let me know what you think, or if you have problems building/running. The UI is still dead-boring GTK, but I've read back over the LAD threads regarding audio-oriented UI libraries and I'm thinking of investigating libproaudio with the next release. The 0.2 Development release adds: - Smaller UI - probably not Netbook friendly yet, but getting closer :) - UI should be dependent upon GTK+ 2.12 (rather than 2.16 as with the first release). - An additional executable named "zonage" which allows the MIDI note input to be split into 4 ranges. This is useful for routing sections of your MIDI keyboard to different JACK inputs - e.g. route the lower half to arpage, and the upper half to a "lead" sound, so you can "solo" over the arpeggiator. - The ability to have a pulse duration (time between note-on and note-off) be longer than the interval between pulses (time between note-on and subsequent note-on). This is useful when routing the output of one arpeggiator to the input of the next arpeggiator. Experiment and hear it :) - Noticeable decrease in the number of stuck notes (I haven't experienced ANY with this version yet). Basic features/requirements (same as 0.1 Alpha): - svn / tarball only for now - gtkmm-based, so dev packages for gtkmm and friends are needed to build (and obviously jack) - I've only built it on Ubuntu Studio (karmic) 64bit. I'm looking for others to let me know if it builds/runs elsewhere. - requires JACK time master to be rolling for the arpeggiators to do anything. Qtractor and Seq24 have worked well for me. - will pass midi events thru when JACK time master is not rolling. - 4 arpeggiators with transpose, interval, range, note duration selectable thru UI. - Each arp has it's own JACK midi in and out port, so you can cascade arpeggiators. - Preliminary support for scales and modes - all of them are not correct, but try major, dorian, diminished and augmented for starters :) It sounds great with each arpeggiator driving an instance of calf mono. Check out the ogg/mp3 clip on sourcefourge. Thanks all, Looking forward to any and all feedback.

Klactoveedsedstene - a new MPlayer Frontend

by viggo simonsen

Hi all, I am happy to announce that a new Mplayer frontend for Linux has been launched. *Klactoveedsedstene* is an Audio Player frontend to the popular Mplayer engine, written in Java. It is very fast, light, simple - and with an advanced support for Album Art. It recognizes embedded Album Art, and is also mostly able to find the correct Album Art from the Internet, based on the "Artist" and "Album" ID3-tags Features: Fast and compact Advanced Album Art support with over 90% accuracy. Select and Play All-in-one window Drag and Drop music into the library Supports MP3 and WMA Highly configurable Stateful (remembers your window settings) All parts of the GUI can be colored Album-Artist-Track view All track columns sortable and movable Minimizable Have a look, and a try at *http://www.klactoveedsedstene.com* <http://www.klactoveedsedstene.com> It can be launched directly from the Web Site, using Java Web Start - or by clicking here <http://www.klactoveedsedstene.com/JWS_launch.php> (requires Java JRE 6+) Best regards Viggo Simonsen

[ANN] guitarix-0.05.8-1 bugfix release

by hermann

I know, there are many guitarix release last month, but this release fix a memory leak witch we have oversee in a long run. I strongly recommend guitarix users to update to this version. 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 graph. Release 0.05.8-1 : * fix memory leak in gx_monitor_jack_ports() and gx_survive_jack_shutdown * add a MultiBandFilter have fun ________________________________________________________________________ guitarix is licensed under the GPL. Project page with screenshots: http://guitarix.sourceforge.net/ download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/ For capture, guitarix uses the external application '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 convolution application 'jconvolver' created by Fons Adriaensen. If you don't have it installed, you can look here: http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/index.html I(hermann) use faust to build the prototype 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/ regards Hermann Meyer & James Warden

[ANN] name changing: drumstick

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Happy new year to everybody! The library formerly known as "aseqmm" [1] has changed its name. The new name is "drumstick" (drumroll was already taken). The new name seems appropriate for a tool to play music, because it (the name) was cooked with flames and it is a word that still has some ambiguity. Also, in colloquial Spanish "montar un pollo" means "to kick up a fuss". A PD icon has been adopted as a logo image: http://openclipart.org/media/files/Farmeral/10340 New project site (migration coming soon): http://sourceforge.net/projects/drumstick/ [1] latest public release: http://kmetronome.sf.net/aseqmm Regards, Pedro

jcgui-0.6 release

by hermann

Hi all, happy new year. I would announce a release of Jc_Gui. It's a little host wrapped around the fantastic convolution engine from Fons Adriaensen called jconvolver (zita-convolver) What is it for ? It's designed to search/load and run IR-*.wav files on a local machine with jconvolver. It include a settings widget, were gain, delay, min/max mem and mode can set and the used wave file and a part of it (offset/length) could choosed. Jc_Gui itself provide a Stereo Host, with master gain, tone (bass,middle,high)controllers, balance slider, and for the output to jconvolver per channel delay and gain controllers, and a wet/dry slider to mix the output from jconvolver with the original source. What isn't it for ? It's a 2 Channel thing only, you can't make multi channel settings with this jcgui. release 0.6 comes with following changes: * fix crash when multichannel(>2) files try to load * optimize GUI performance project page : http://jcgui.sourceforge.net/ download : https://sourceforge.net/projects/jcgui/ enjoy hermann
