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

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:

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
Happy new year to all

01.jan.2010 :: axonlib v0.0.0 :: the pioneer axon
new year, new plugins, new framework, new plans, new ideas
a full refresh/reboot, and a call for response, testing, contributions,
etc..
------------------------------
a single axon, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axon> with all its branches
taken together, can innervate multiple parts of the brain and generate
thousands of synaptic terminals.
axon guidance <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axon_guidance> (also called
axon pathfinding) is a subfield of neural development concerning the
process by which neurons send out axons to reach the correct targets.
axons often follow very precise paths in the nervous system, and how
they manage to find their way so accurately is being researched.
pioneer axon <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_axon> is an axon that
lays down initial growing path for the axons of other neurons to follow.
------------------------------
current features:
- c++, free, opensource, ..
- cross platform (inux/win32)
- cross compile (gcc, mingw, cygwin?)
- small/tiny (around 100kb (uncompressed) for a plugin)
- standalone/vst
- with or without gui (x11/gdi, double buffered, low/medium-level gfx
primitives)
- hierarchy, window, container, widget, canvas, surface, bitmap, png, ..
- simplified vst:
- create a plugin with just a few lines of code (usually just one cpp
file)
(override
doProcessMidi/Parameter/Block/Sample/State/Transport/CreateEditor.. etc)
- the dll/so stuff (you can forget all about it, handled internally)
- host sync, transport state changes
- voice manager (for polyphonic synth)
- parameter/widget connection
- editor (layered on top of base vst handling)
and a lot more smaller things i probably forgot..
work in progress / partially implemented / coming:
- simplified compilation (scripts, batch files, ide-setup)
- programs/banks
- dsp-graph / modular
- fill in the missing bits and pieces, tie up the loose ends
- tcc, embedded c-compiler (capable of compiling the linux kernel, use
external dll's etc)
- fft, goertzel, transients, wavelets (daubechies, haar)
- cellular automata
- optimizations, simplifications
todo:
- alpha blending/transparency (especially x11)
- opengl?
- ladspa/dssi/lv2 (linux)
- neural networks
- more optimizations, simplifications
goals:
- playful audio exploration and experimentation
- thinking outside of the box
- being different for the sake of being different
wanted:
- (alpha/beta-) testers
- ideas, thoughts, comments
- contributions
- especially for the platform specific stuff
not wanted:
- highbrow, academic, know-it-all, politically/religious correct, rules
or dogmas
current plugins (src & .dll/.so):
- ana_sigview (signal viewer/oscilloscope)
- fx_blur (delay/blur)
- fx_cutter (beat synced cut/repeat slices)
- fx_dist (distortion)
- fx_dynamics (dynamics, compressor)
- fx_envelope (midi controlled audio envelope)
- fx_freeze (freeze/repeat audio slices)
- fx_grains (grain cloud/delay)
- fx_moddelay (modulated delay, flanger/phaser/chorus)
- fx_split (frequency band splitter)
- fx_svf (state variable filter)
- fx_tempodelay (host sync delay)
- fx_waveshaper (waveshape/distort)
- fx_wgtavg (weighted average/lp)

tracking/correcton, ala autotune)
- freeverb
liteon <http://neolit123.blogspot.com/>:
- liteon_lofi
- liteon_tilteq
new plugins added almost daily!
some of these might not be proper, finished plugins in the normal sense,
at least not at the moment, but more like examples, tests, prototypes,
or perhaps starting points for your own plugins, ... but they will grow
and expand, getting new features and bugfixes as needed (or requested)..
so feel free to give suggestions, thoughts, ideas..

excuse my non-perfect english
if something looks/sounds weird or wrong, ask, don't just assume
and, yes, there are probably some mental conditions running amok here.
medication could help

also, some clarifications about the legal/license issues with a
combination of (l)gpl and the vst sdk would be appreciated..
Hi,
I am pleased to announce a long overdue release of jackEQ v0.5.8 code
name: Smooth and Shiny
You can find the tarball at the new home: http://djcj.org/jackeq
It's been almost 4 years since a release and this one comes with many
useful new features including...
- Save/Restore UI state (with autosave on exit/quit).
- Shiny new meters merging gtkmeter and gtkmeterscale into one class.
- Mute buttons on all channels, right click to enable/disable.
- One click eq reset (well two actually for your safety)
- A revised UI theme taking advantage of Cairo rendering engine in gtk.
Mmmm gradients.
Please let me know if you encounter any problems.
Otherwise, enjoy and Happy New Year for 2010!!!

The second milestone is reached and result is a tarball that brave souls
may want to download and try. It can start apps and restore their
connections. Level 1 apps are supported.
Beware that no apps have implemented level 1 yet. If non-level-1 app is
started at level 1, it will probably quit on save, because the default
signal handler for SIGUSR1 terminates the process.
This preview also features a2jmidid support. Run the a2j script as an
app in the studio.
This is a beta quality software, use it with double caution.
I would like to thank the early adopters and especially Frank Kober for
their help with testing the git ladish code and for the valuable
suggestions they gave.
Build will produce three operational components:
* ladishd - The daemon, a D-Bus service
* gladish - GTK GUI interface
* ladish_control - Command-line interface
In the tarball you will also find bundled:
* flowcanvas-0.6.0
* LADI Tools (svn version)
* a2jmidid-6 (contains the a2j script for use in ladish)
* jack2 from the ladi branch
The jack2 ladi branch contains fixes for two important issues:
* Race that causes connection restore to fail sometimes during studio
startup (http://ladish.org/ticket/28)
* A deadlock on studio start (http://ladish.org/ticket/35)
Hopefully, these fixes with be in the next jack2 release (1.9.5).
The jack2 ladi branch also contains the no-self-connect changeset that
adds new engine option, for disabling self connect of apps. Default
value for this option is to allow self connections.
Make sure to configure jack2 with --dbus (and maybe with --classic too).

Roadmap: http://ladish.org/roadmap
---------------------------------------------------------------------
LADI Session Handler or simply ladish is a session management system
for JACK applications on GNU/Linux. Its aim is to allow you to have
many different audio programs running at once, to save their setup,
close them down and then easily reload the setup at some other
time. ladish doesn't deal with any kind of audio or MIDI data itself;
it just runs programs, deals with saving/loading (arbitrary) data and
connects JACK ports together. It can also be used to move entire
sessions between computers, or post sessions on the Internet for
download.
Project goals:
* Save and restore sets of JACK (audio and MIDI) enabled
applications.
* Provide JACK clients with virtual hardware ports, so projects can
be transfered (or backups restored) between computers running
different hardware and backups.
* Don't require session handling library to be used. There is no need
of such library for restoring connections between JACK clients.
* Flow canvas based GUI. Positions of elements on the canvas are
saved/restored.
* Allow clients to use external storage to save its state. This
includes storing internal state to non-filesystem place like memory
of a hardware synth. This also includes storing client internal
state (client project data) in a way that is not directly bound to
ladish project.
* Import/export operations, as opposed to save/load. Save/load
operate in current system and may cause saving data outside of
project itself (external storage). Import/export uses/produces
"tarball" suitable for transferring session data over network to
other computer or storing it in a backup archive.
* Hierarchical or tag-based organization of projects.
* List of JACK applications. Applications are always started through
ladish to have restored runtime environment closer to one existed
before project save.
* Distributed studio - network connected computers. Netjack
configuration is part of the studio and thus is saved/restored.
* Collaborate with the X11 window manager so window properties like
window position, virtual desktop and screen (multimonitor) are
saved/restored.

a2jmidid is a project that aims to ease usage of legacy ALSA sequencer
applications, in a JACK MIDI enabled system.
Homepage with screenshots: http://home.gna.org/a2jmidid/
Tarball download: http://download.gna.org/a2jmidid/
Changes since version 5:
* MIDI processing improvements
* Handle large number of ports
* a2j script (non-dbus-like behaviour for dbus environment)
* Allow tweaking through dbus of the hardware port export option
* Fix a use of invalid memory
* Fix port miss that can occur if port appears during bridge startup
Special thanks to Torben Hohn and Paul Davis for their recent work on
improving the a2jmidid code.
Indzhe Voyvoda was a renowned leader of an armed band of outlaws in
Ottoman-held Bulgaria. Eventually, he gave up robbing and began to
patronize the poor Bulgarian population.
