guitarix is a simple Linux Rock Guitar amplifier for jack(Jack Audio Connektion Kit)
with one input and two outputs. Designed to get nice thrash/metal/rock/blues
guitar sounds. . . .
Some new effect's in the amp section with new controllers, overworked tuner, overworked midi output
(still it is experimental but can be usefull for rhythm blues or jazz or. . . fun)
Many thanks to Orcan Ogetbil (Fedora) for give the right hint to impruve the tuner,
and the patch's to create a proper Makefile and more, thanks Orcan.
have fun

Music can be typed in at the PC-Keyboard, or played in via MIDI controller, or input acoustically into a microphone plugged into your computer's soundcard.
Hi all!
I have made a LADSPA effect plugin called WubFlip. It's a sort of distortion
that might be useful for dirty lofi beats and synths.

Currently only source so needs LADSPA sdk installed.
Dear,
The FFADO team is happy to announce the release of the second release
candidate for FFADO 2.0.
It has been 6 months since we released FFADO 2.0 Release Candidate 1,
and we have to admit that this is quite long. The usage statistics show
that about 300 people have been using RC1 in this period, and the good
news is that we did not get a lot of bug reports. Most of the reports
filed were related to crappy host controller hardware (most notably the
Ricoh controllers), which is something we unfortunately cannot fix. In
the mean time the remaining bug reports have been fixed, so here we are
again.
This release candidate contains a few reliability improvements and
bugfixes that should get some field testing before we can release the
official 2.0. I would therefore like to ask all users and packagers to
upgrade as soon as possible such that we can release sooner rather than
later. If we get to about 100 registered users without significant
significant bug reports I feel confident that we're good to go. So happy
testing!
To indicate that we're quite busy even though we don't put out a lot of
announcements let me give you a sneak preview of what is under
development for post-2.0 ...
First of all 2.1 will contain support for extra devices:
* The first device to take full advantage of our DICE platform
support will be the Focusrite Saffire PRO40. The platform based
audio and MIDI streaming is fully functional. The custom mixer
functionality is currently being alpha-tested.
* The DICE platform support also enables the basic use of the
TC Electronic Konnekt 8, 24D and Live. Support for these devices
is limited to streaming (no DSP effects). Currently it doesn't
look like the DSP is going to be supported any time soon.
* Support for the Behringer FCA-202 has been added.
* Support for the Stanton SCS.1 series is added. Support for both
the audio I/O as the HSS1394 control surface protocol has been
implemented, meaning that these devices are fully functional.
We keep on talking to several device vendors to increase our device
support, and we will most likely be announcing some new devices in the
near future.
The second major development is the move of the streaming infrastructure
to kernel space. Thanks to the Google Summer of Code and the Linux
Foundation, we have somebody working on this during the summer. A
kernel-space implementation will bring significant improvements with
respect to reliability and efficiency. Furthermore it will expose an
ALSA interface, meaning that the scope of FireWire audio is extended
significantly.
The following changes have been made:
* Various packaging improvements and cosmetic fixes.
* Improved the Edirol FA101 mixer
* While the streaming engine is running, prevent mixer changes that
result in aborted streaming
* Add status bar logging to the mixer window
* Install a service-file if possible
* Add command rate control for the Saffire devices to reduce the issues
with mixer actions messing up audio.
* Fix Terratec Phase88 mixer
* Implement mixer support for the MOTU UltraLite
* Improve mixer support for the MOTU 896HD
* Add a minimum for the packetsize parameter for very low
channel-count devices
* Fix handling of MIDI 2x and 3x mode
* Improve the jitter performance of the timestamping
* Reduce CPU usage
* Fix the bug that prevented jackd from exiting freewheeling mode
* Introduce transmit prebuffering to increase reliability with small
period sizes
* MOTU: Fix bug related to disabled (unused) audio channels
* Introduce support for driver parameters in the config file
* Ensure that the order specified in the specification string when
aggregating devices is honored.
* Ensure that libffado.so is properly versioned (SONAME) and installed
* Add a firmware version check for ECHO Fireworks based devices
* Add a firmware version check for Terratec Phase88 devices
* By default the library is compiled with debugging turned off

Howdy!
First release of the pretentiously named "ladspa-lgv-plugins" includes
at the moment just one very simple but very convenient plugin:
monomix. No more plugins are scheduled in the near future, but never
say never, so I kept it open.
It is not rocket science, just a way of easily deal with recordings
that use full stereo separation. monomix combines the left and right
channels of an stereo audio input into a dual mono output. Its
interface offers four preset combinations (L+R, L-R, L-only, R-only)
and one customizable mode. This allows to eliminate, isolate or
enhance different channels on stereo recordings.
In a nutshell, I use it when I work on my jazz chops with Aebersold or
Snidero play-alongs. Just stick it at the output of your media player
of choice (I like Sonic Visualiser meself: waveform display, speed
control, looping, peak frequency analysis for transcription... with a
bit of tinkering SV could be tailored as an invaluable tool for
performing music students, perhaps I'll give it a go some day, so many
projects, so little free time...)

Howdy!
Simple as it could be,
Qsynth 0.3.4 released!
Description:
Qsynth is a fluidsynth GUI front-end application written in C++ around
the Qt4 toolkit using Qt Designer. Eventually it may evolve into a
softsynth management application allowing the user to control and manage
a variety of command line softsynth but for the moment it wraps the
excellent FluidSynth. FluidSynth is a command line software synthesiser
based on the Soundfont specification.

License:
Qsynth is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of
the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.
Change-log:
- Command line option parsing has been slightly refactored to allow
custom override through extraordinary fluidsynth option settings (eg. -o
name=value; fixes bug #2781579).
- Main form layout has been given a little bit more slack space, just
to accommodate some longer text label translations (eg. German).
- Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
- Saved channel presets are now effectively loaded on engine startup.
- Russian translation added (thanks to Alexandre Prokoudine).
- Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
- Qt Software logo update.
- Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
- Slight optimizations to the output peak meters refresh rate.
- MIDI and audio device names are now user selectable options through
respective drop-down lists on each engine setup dialog.
- New knob style: Skulpture.
Cheers && Enjoy!

SuperCollider is an environment and programming language for real time
audio synthesis and algorithmic composition. It provides an
interpreted object-oriented language which functions as a network
client to a state of the art, realtime sound synthesis server.
Many changes since 3.2; here are some headlines:
* scvim and sced are now part of the main bundle, for using vim or
gedit as your sc code editor
* New UGens added:
* BEQSuite filter UGens (popular set of nice-sounding filters)
* PartConv (efficient frequency-domain convolution)
* SendReply (sends arrays from server to the language client)
* VDiskIn (like DiskIn but with variable rate)
* LFGauss
* Buffer recording/playback UGens used to be limited to 16-channel;
now they can handle massively multi-channel audio
* LocalBuf framework allows synths to create/free their own “private”
buffers, simplifying buffer management in many situations
* GUI system updates: easier syntax, plus a major update of GUI documentation
* Various behind-the-scenes efficiency improvements, for a sleeker
audio server that can do more on a given machine

SLV2 is a library to make the use of LV2 plugins as simple as possible
for applications.
Changes this release:
* Add generic query interface to allow arbitrary querying of data
* Combine similar headers (reduce code duplication)
* Upgrade to waf 1.5.6
* Add man pages for utilities
This version adds API, but is binary backwards compatible with the
previous release.
The new query API is the most significant change: this allows
host/plugin authors to directly access any data whatsoever in plugin
data files (via SPARQL queries) without depending on the SLV2 API to
provide explicit support for extensions/etc.
More information, downloads, etc, at:
<http://drobilla.net/software/slv2>
Enjoy,
