Hi,
Plugins for linux / jack are available free to download at
http://www.linuxdsp.co.uk
These are standalone jack client applications but they can be used with
for example Ardour via jack insert points. x86-64 versions are now
included along with the 32bit versions.

Dear all,
Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music composition
system. Users declaratively state a music theory and the computer
generates music which complies with this theory. A theory is
formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of
rules (constraints) applied to a music representation in which some
aspects are expressed by variables (unknowns). Music constraint
programming is style-independent and is well-suited for highly
complex theories (e.g. a fully-fledged theory of harmony). Results
can be output into various formats including MIDI, Lilypond, and Csound.
This release fixes a serious bug: before, Strasheela only worked when
IOzSeF (an Oz extension for constraint solvers) was installed. It
simplifies the installation on Windows by providing an installation
batch file. It also adds a collection of ready-made constructors for
musical segments such as contrapuntual lines, homophonic chord
progressions, or specific motifs, and adds a number of harmony-
related constraints. Further additions and bug fixes have been made
as well.
For more information on Strasheela, please visit
http://strasheela.sourceforge.net/
Changes are described at
http://strasheela.sourceforge.net/strasheela/doc/Changes.html

Dear all -
SuperCollider workshops will be taught at the Harvestworks centre in
New York this April (sessions from Sat 4th through Wed 8th). This is a
rare opportunity to learn from some of the developers of this
incredible environment and programming language for music and audio.
It won't all be linux-based but my segments will be conducted in
linux, and linux users will be welcome along for support. Full
details:

Sonic Annotator is a utility program for batch feature extraction from
audio files. It runs Vamp audio analysis plugins with specified
parameters on audio files, and writes the result features in a
selection of formats, in particular as RDF using the Audio Features
and Event ontologies.
Version 0.2 is now available, offering more stable and predictable
results than the earlier 0.1.
For more details and for downloads, please see
http://www.omras2.org/SonicAnnotator
Sonic Annotator was developed at the Centre for Digital Music, Queen
Mary, University of London. It was funded by the EPSRC through the
OMRAS2 project and is Free Software published under the GNU General
Public License.

Announcing v0.1 of the Vamp plugin tester, a simple program that loads
and tests Vamp audio feature extraction plugins for various common
failure cases. It can't check whether you're getting the right
results, but it can help you write more resilient and better-behaved
plugins.
Source code:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vamp/vamp-plugin-tester-0.1.tar.bz2
OS/X universal binary:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vamp/vamp-plugin-tester-0.1-osx-universal.…
Windows binary:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vamp/vamp-plugin-tester-0.1-win32.zip
For more information about Vamp plugins, please see
http://vamp-plugins.org/. The "home page" for this utility is the
developer page at http://vamp-plugins.org/develop.html .
There is some documentation for this program in the README file, but
the short version is that you run it at a command prompt with the
library name and plugin name, colon-separated, as an argument:
$ ./vamp-plugin-tester vamp-example-plugins:spectralcentroid
... and see what it has to say about your plugins. It may also crash;
if it crashes in the middle of one of its tests, that usually means
that your plugin has crashed when faced with some unexpected input
(run it in a debugger, or a memory checking utility if you have one,
to find out where).
This tester does report some genuine bugs when run against several of
the existing Vamp plugins. I'll be aiming to make some fixes where
I'm able.
This is only the first release, so it's quite likely that the tester
hasn't been tested enough itself yet. Please report any problems to
me or the Vamp plugins develoment forum at
http://vamp-plugins.org/forum/index.php/board,1.0.html .

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. There are controls for bass, treble, gain, compressor, preamp,
balance, overdrive, distortion, freeverb, impulse response (), crybaby(wah) and
echo . A fixed resonator will be used when distortion is disabled. For
'pressure' in the sound you can use the feedback and feedforward
sliders.
This release include all build'in effects also as LADSPA plugins (UniqID 4061 - 4068).
The jconv settings widget include now a wave form viewer with the posibility to
select a part of the file (offset and length) for the use with jconv.
The Overdrive effect is coupled now with an auto gain correction
(remove the added gain when run high overdrive level's)
The trigger in the Distrortion can set now up to 1,
that is usefull when you run Overdrive and Distortion together.
