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.

Linux Audio Conference 2010: Call for Papers now open

by Frank Neumann

Dear reader, as has been announced here 2 days ago by Marc Groenewegen, the next Linux Audio Conference (LAC#8) will take place at the HKM in Utrecht, Netherlands, from May 1st - 4th, 2010 (see http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010). We have now opened the Website that accepts paper submissions. Please direct your browser to http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010/openconf For those who have been following the LAC activities in the past years: It's the same used&tested "OpenConf" web-based system that allows us to easily collect paper submissions, review them and create a programme from accepted papers. The available categories for paper submission looks like this: * Ambisonics * Education * Live performance * Audio Hardware Support * Signal Processing * Music Composition * Audio Languages * Sound Synthesis * Audio Plugins * MIDI * Music Production * Linux Kernel * Physical Computing * Interface Design * Linux Distributions * Networked Audio * Video * Games * Media Art * Licensing Note that "Video" is also in the list. Yes, that's not strictly Audio :-), but we feel that the two disciplines are close enough to one another to allow opening up the conference scope a bit here. After all, we have already had several very nice audio/video gigs in the past (some might remember the YUE concert in Karlsruhe 2006 with a remote VJ live from Italy, which was pretty groundbreaking at that time). Also, we very much welcome practical papers resp. software demos ("how I use Linux Audio applications to create my music/media art"). The web page also holds the paper templates that have to be used for submissions. Pick one of the two provided templates (LaTeX or OpenOffice), author your paper and convert it to PDF, then upload that PDF. Make sure you are using A4 as paper size. Some constraints: - The conference is held in English, so the paper has to be in English too. - Length of a paper is 4-8 pages. Papers have to include an abstract (50-100 words). Also, papers should include up to 5 keywords. - The copyright of the paper remains with you (of course), but we reserve the right to create printed proceedings from all submitted (and accepted) papers. - We have fixed the following dates: - Deadline for paper submissions: February 14th, 2010 - Notification of paper acceptance: March 14th, 2010 - Deadline for final version of paper: April 4th, 2010 Please note that the OpenConf system is only to be used for paper submissions; for concert pieces ("Call for Music") or sound installation proposals, please contact us directly by email ("lac -at- linuxaudio -dot- org "). We are looking forward to many interesting submissions for the 8th Linux Audio Conference and we hope to see you in Utrecht in 2010! Please feel free to forward this e-mail to anybody who might be interested - mailing lists, blogs, Linux portals, magazines, you name them. Public relation work for this conference is something we need, and where everybody can easily help. Thanks for reading. On behalf of the LAC2010 organisation team, Frank Neumann
