[ANN] guitarix-0.05.3-1 quick release

by hermann

This is a quick guitarix update to cover the new release of jconvolver eg. jconv 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. To cover the renaming of jconv to jconvolver, guitarix-0.05.3-1 looks now first for jconvolver, if it isn't installed, it looks for jconv. Also a patch from Michal Seben (OpenSuse) is added to cover a build fail at openSUSE:Factory. Thanks Michal. :-) Additional, there is a (rt) 2 Channel delay chooser for the output to jconv, and the Chorus effect work in Stereo now. have fun ________________________________________________________________________ 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 'jconv' created by Fons Adriaensen.

Boost your Piano playing skills with PianoBooster 0.6.4

by Louis B.

Version 0.6.4 of Piano Booster has just been released. Piano Booster is an Open Source program that helps with playing the piano and learning to sight read music. It's key feature is that it listens and follows what you are playing on the piano and waits for you to find and play the right notes. It helps you with this by giving you audio feed back. So if you play a wrong note then that note will have the Harpsichord sound but the right notes will have the Piano sound. For screen shots see: http://pianobooster.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html And for a video demonstration see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGbfm8Tv-20 This versions fixes a number of issues with CPU usage and timing accuracy and so I recommend that everyone upgrades to this version. Users of Intel graphic chips please see the note at the end of this posting. Detailed list of changes in this release 0.6.4 are: - Added note names for beginners (to be used with a piano key note labels) - Added assignable left and right midi channels. - Improved MIDI timing accuracy. - Greatly reduced the memory footprint. - Reduced the CPU load. - Reduced the screen flicker (recommend setting the screen refresh rate to 60Hz and for Intel Graphic chips updating the drivers). - Added keyboard short-cuts. These are - speed up/down, play from start, play/pause, next previous song, left right both hands. - Remembers the song settings in a configuration file called "pb.cfg". these are the midi channels, speed, left right or both hands. - Now works well Ubuntu 9.10 and Intel graphic chips. (Those with Ubuntu 9.04 and Intel should upgrade to 9.10 and this version) - Fixed various start up issues. - Now correctly notates repeated accidentals that occur in a single bar. - Added the option to display courtesy accidentals. - Added a simple help page. - Added an installer for windows. - 'make install' now works on Linux. - Now works with small screens eg an EEE-701 (for Trev) NOTE: If you have Intel graphic chips in your computer or laptop then this causes severe problems when using Ubuntu 9.04. The problem is due the Intel graphic drivers drivers having very poor performance. They performed much worse than on the previous Ubuntu 8.10. The solution is to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10, PianoBooster works particularly well on this version. PianoBooster is licensed under GPL and runs on Linux, Windows and the Mac. PianoBooster is available from: http://pianobooster.sourceforge.net. Louis B.
