Sonic Visualiser is an application for inspecting and analysing the
contents of music audio files. It combines powerful waveform and
spectral visualisation tools with automated feature extraction plugins
and annotation capabilities.
Version 1.6 of Sonic Visualiser is now available.
http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/
This is a bugfix release. For details, please read the release notes at:
https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=695075
Sonic Visualiser contains advanced waveform and spectrogram viewers,
as well as editors for many sorts of audio annotations. Besides
visualisation, it can make and play selections based on the locations
of automatically detected features, seamlessly loop playback of single
or multiple noncontiguous regions, synthesise annotations for
playback, slow down playback while retaining display synchronisation,
and show the ongoing alignment in time between multiple recordings of
a piece with different timings.
Sonic Visualiser supports the Vamp plugin API for plugins that extract
descriptive or analytical data from audio. Vamp plugins for onset,
pitch and note detection, tempo tracking, chromagram analysis,
constant-Q spectrogram, spectral centroid, power curve, key
estimation, tonal change detection, harmonic spectrogram, adaptive
multi-resolution spectrogram, structural segmentation, note
transcription, wavelet scaleogram, timbral similarity, audio alignment
calculation and a large number of low-level spectral features are
available. There is also a comprehensive SDK for use by developers
of Vamp plugins and hosts. For more information about Vamp plugins,
please see:
http://www.vamp-plugins.org/
Sonic Visualiser was developed at the Centre for Digital Music, Queen
Mary, University of London:
http://www.elec.qmul.ac.uk/digitalmusic/
Ongoing work on Sonic Visualiser and audio feature representation in
the semantic web is carried out as part of the OMRAS2 project funded
by the EPSRC. See
http://omras2.org/
for more information.
Sonic Visualiser is Free Software distributed under the GNU General
Public License. The 1.6 release is available now as binaries for Linux,
OS/X, and Windows, and in source code form.

Announcing the new public beta release of phasex! All phasex users
are encouraged to upgrade. Since the days of 0.11.1, all known bugs
and many annoying quirks have been worked out, making
PHASEX-0.12.0-beta3 is the most stable, best sounding, and most
studio friendly release yet:
* Fixed all currently known crash issues and build issues. Code has
been updated for newer versions of gcc, gtk, and glibc. Realtime
threading issues have been fine-tined, using realtime locks where
appropriate. The build system has been fixed up for newer
distributions and includes default optimizations for the entire x86
family (run './configure --enable-arch=foo', where foo is an
architecture supported by your version of gcc).
* Sound quality has been greatly refined by reshaping envelope
curves (eliminating pops and clicks), adding hermite interpolation
to the chorus (removing fuzziness from chorus), adding fine tuning
to oscillator frequencies and FM amounts, adding sampled oscillators
(currently with Juno-106 and vocal samples), fixing portamento
and key triggering logic, and more.
* The JACK code has been reworked to allow multiple instances with
persistent instance numbers and resilience to JACK crashes and
restarts.
* The GUI has been refined slightly, with a new color scheme, patch
folders in the file dialog shortcuts list, and a couple slight
optimizations to the knob code.
* There's more. See http://sysex.net/phasex/beta for details if
you're that curious.
Since 0.12.0-beta2, fixes have been implented for GTK >= 2.16
(fixing Fedora 11 builds), the max polyphony has been turned into a
runtime configurable setting, and the build system and default
architecture specific optimizations have been fixed up some more.
Source tarball and arch specific Fedora 11 RPMS are now available
for download:

Build reports and bug reports, and package build files for all
distributions are highly welcome. This is the final beta for
0.12.0. Any build and crash issues reported in the next two weeks
will be fixed for the 0.12.0 stable release. Please direct any
feedback to weston(a)sysex.net.

Thank you all for your support, feedback, and contributions over the
years, helping to make PHASEX what it is today.
Happy music making!
