jack_capture
============
jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default
operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into
a file, but it can do a number of other operations as well.
0.9.32 -> 0.9.36
* Add support for OGG (requires sndlib>=1.0.18)
* Check if file format is supported by sndlib before creating file
* Added auto-support for WVE, MPC2K and RF64. (untested)
* Reset terminal colors when exiting.
* Check dependencies for various programs in the Makefile
* Tried to make it even more clear (if that's possible) that
'jack_capture --port system:playback_1 --port system:playback_2'
does exactly the same as the default.
* Added untested patch from Orcan Ogetbil to make jack_capture compile on
a ppc64 platform.
In case jack_capture is ran on a ppc64 platform, a warning is printed
during runtime.
* Clearing up licenses
* A fix for open() from Florian Faber.
* A couple of gui fixes from Orcan Ogetbil.

On behalf of the FluidSynth development team I'm happy to announce the
release of FluidSynth 1.1.1 "Clarity". This is primarily a bug fix
release to 1.1.0, but also includes a couple new API additions.
Upgrade from 1.1.0 is highly recommended, as there were many
regressions in that version, especially in regards to QSynth
compatibility.

The FFADO team is proud and happy to announce the release of FFADO 2.0.0.
As the release candidates have been around for almost one year now
without a significant amount of bug reports we feel confident that the
current code-base has matured. Around the end of november the 1000-th
device was registered as being used with FFADO, which seemed to be a
nice number to triggered the release.
Furthermore on December 2 the Linux kernel version 2.6.32 has been
released. This version fixes the new kernel FireWire drivers such that
they are compatible with FFADO. So once the distributions pick up this
kernel the old/new kernel stack confusion should be history.
Thanks go out to the vendors that provided us with gear to support for
the 2.0 release: Echo Digital Audio, Edirol, Ego Systems Inc, Focusrite,
Mackie and Terratec. Kudos for their early-bird support!
Special thanks also go to BridgeCo and TC Applied for providing us with
their development platforms and for helping with vendor contacts. Their
support makes that FFADO covers the most widely used platforms for
FireWire audio and that we can quickly implement support for new devices.
Looking ahead to the 2.1 release we can announce that we have
implemented (basic) support for additional devices from Focusrite,
Behringer, Stanton and TC Electronic. We plan to move to beta-testing
2.1 fairly soon as development on it has been ongoing for more than a
year now. Additionally, work is being done on the RME devices, but its
not yet known when that will be finished. Support for some other vendors
is in the pipeline, so stay tuned for more announcements.
A second major development is the move of the streaming infrastructure
to kernel space. A kernel-space implementation will bring significant
improvements with respect to reliability and efficiency. Furthermore it
will allow to expose an ALSA interface, meaning that the scope of
FireWire audio on Linux is extended significantly. Thanks to the Google
Summer of Code and the Linux Foundation, work on this has been done
during the summer. The code is not yet ready for use, but things are moving.

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce
the release of Rivendell v1.6.0. Rivendell is a full-featured radio
automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It
is available under the GNU General Public License. Changes in this release
include (from the NEWS file):
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
New RLM Plug-in. A new plug-in for the Liquid Compass Internet encoder has
been added.
Cart Notes. Added the ability to enter free-form text for each cart in the
Library. This text can then be displayed in a 'help bubble' when floating
the mouse cursor over the cart's entry in the Library cart list.
Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 182, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow
any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.

# FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Just in time for a new decade, Renoise gets an upgrade from executive suite to penthouse with a panoramic view. The Renoise Pattern Matrix, both a bird's eye view and a song editor, is the missing link that pushes Renoise's unique approach to music composition to the next level. It's the perfect companion to the "eyes on the details" appearance and capabilities of the Pattern Editor.
Renoise meta-devices (FX units that receive and transform parameters and other non-audio data) are now interconnectable across tracks. This opens the door to more modular approaches, like linking LFOs or key/audio signals all throughout your mix. Two new meta-devices round-up this "do anything" experience, giving the sound artist the freedom to connect and modulate all parameters with all others.
That's just the beginning. Vastly improved MIDI mapping, automated rendering of plugin instruments to samples, a native guitar & bass amp simulator FX, performance optimizations, GUI improvements and much more...
Scroll down to the changelog for all the details.
# AVAILABILITY AND PRICING:
Beta versions are exclusive to registered users. The first public 2.5 versions will be Release Candidates. The final version is expected to be released at the beginning of next year.
As usual we will test the beta for as long as necessary to make it rock solid, avoiding annoying floods of small updates to fix crucial issues.
The price of Renoise will change from 49 Euro to 59 Euro when the final version is released – This price is for a multi-platform license. That means that a single license is valid for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux.
To ease the transition, everyone that buys Renoise 2.5 before the final version will get Renoise for the old price of 49 Euro. This covers upgrades up until and including version 3.5.
# ABOUT RENOISE:
Renoise is a complete music production environment for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. It features full ReWire support, FX and instrument VST/AU plug-in support, automatic plug-in delay compensation, multi-core load balancing, MIDI I/O, audio recording, flexible audio output, graphical & numerical parameter automation, modular parameter routing, and much more.
Renoise is based on mod trackers. Mod trackers are characterized by displaying and editing music in an easily understood grid known as a pattern. These patterns are akin to sheet music, but are displayed alphanumerically instead of with musical notation.
Renoise's rock solid stability makes it ideal as a live jamming tool. You can map almost every part of the interface to a MIDI controller, run your guitar through a Line-In Device and distort it with native effects, or just use it as a replacement for an MPC.
Due to its keyboard driven workflow, it makes the creation of music for new users far quicker than in a traditional MIDI based sequencer. For experienced users, and those who don't necessarily want to be bound to piano roll systems to music, it offers a refreshing approach to composing:
Instead of spending hours cobbling beats together with a mouse, why not do it in seconds with just a few keystrokes in Renoise? Whether you're an audio veteran or just starting out, Renoise is a fantastic addition to any bedroom or professional studio.
Make music? Use Renoise.
# CHANGELOG:
* Pattern Matrix: A birds eye view and editor of the song
* Cross Track Routing for "Meta Devices" and new devices like the
"Signal Follower", which allows you to sidechain other tracks
parameters
* Plugin Grabber: Render Plugin Instruments to Renoise
Instruments, Samples
* Vastly Improved MIDI Mapping
* A Bunch of New Internal Effects
* And much more...

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It
doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI
synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use
the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use
the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another
instrument or MIDI file player.
