Tarball containing D-Bus patched jack 0.115.6 is available here:
http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/jack/dbus/http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/jack/dbus/jack-audio-connection-kit-dbus-0.…http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/jack/dbus/jack-audio-connection-kit-dbus-0.…
D-Bus modifications add optional autodetected support for the D-Bus
based server control system.
D-Bus is object model that provides IPC mechanism. D-Bus supports
autoactivation of objects, thus making it simple and reliable to code a
"single instance" application or daemon, and to launch applications and
daemons on demand when their services are needed.
* Simplified single thread model for control and monitor
applications. Various D-Bus language bindings make it trivial to
write control and monitor applications using scripting languages like
Python, Ruby, Perl, etc..
* JACK has log file (~/.log/jack/jackdbus.log) that is available for
inspection even when autoactivation happens because of first JACK
application is launched.
* There is real configuration file used to persist settings that can be
manipulated through configuration interface of JACK D-Bus object.
* Improved graph inspection and control mechanism. JACK graph is
versioned. Connections, ports and clients have unique (monotonically
increasing) numeric IDs.
* High level abstraction of JACK settings. Allows applications that can
configure JACK to expose parameters that were not known at compile
(or tarball release) time.
Currently there are some minor differences between jack1 jackdbus and
jack2 jackdbus:
* There is no parameter constraints support (no enums and no ranges)
* No get client pid function (probably affects lash)
* Settings file (in ~/.config/jack/) is conf-jack1.xml instead of
conf.xml, because jack1 and jack2 settings and not really compatible.
When configured with D-Bus support, jack_control is
installed. jack_control is simple commandline interface for jackdbus.
Other tools that can communicate with JACK through D-Bus:
* LADItools (tray icon, configuration, etc.)
* Patchage (and lpatchage too)
* LASH 0.6.x (may not work properly with jack1 jackdbus implementation)

The version 0.0.17 of Calf Audio Plugin Pack has been released. This is
the first release after Calf team gained a second plugin developer, Thor
Harald Johansen.
Calf is a set of open source instruments and effects for digital audio
workstations. Multiple plugin interfaces are supported: LV2, DSSI, JACK
(standalone application) and, for slightly outdated hosts, LADSPA.
The plugins are equipped with GTK+-based graphical user interfaces. Some
of these interfaces contain live (and accurate) graphs for easier
control over parameters. Unfortunately, that functionality is only
available in standalone version, or LV2 versions when used with Ardour
2.7, Zynjacku or LV2Rack.
Calf contains the following effects and instruments:
- (new in 0.0.17) smooth-sounding dynamic compressor
- (new in 0.0.16) multi-tap chorus
- organ-like polyphonic synthesizer
- a simple monophonic subtractive synthesizer
- tape-like delay
- reverb
- multimode filter with parameter smoothing (inertia)
- flanger
- phaser
Example screenshots:

Recent versions of Calf also contain a set of about 50 plugins for
modular LV2 hosts (like Dave Robillard's Ingen). Logic gates and
flip-flops, basic filters, oscillators, multiplexers, arithmetic
operators - and other building blocks for creating interesting patches.
The source version of Calf can be downloaded from the following page:

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 improves Strasheela's export of sound synthesis
formats. For example, expressive timing of scores can be defined by
time shift functions. Predefined MIDI file export now supports also
non-note events like continuous controllers (e.g., pitch bend,
aftertouch, CC) and a global tempo curve. Additional examples have
been added, and further extensions 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

PianoBooster version 0.5.0 has just been released, this is the first
ever release of PianoBooster.
If you dabble in music and have a Midi Piano keyboard lying around
then give PianoBooster a go as it actually makes sight reading music
fun!!!!!
To see what it is all about take a look at the screen shot:
http://pianobooster.sourceforge.net/images/LinuxScreenShot.png
First choose a MIDI file (the Easy Play Beethoven is a good one -- see
the download page for where this can be found) then select which part
that you want to play along with (e.g. the piano part or the strings
part etc). Then select the "left" hand or the "right" hand or if you
are feeling really brave choose "both hands" and try to play along.
The "Follow You" mode make it really easy to sight read the scrolling
notes as the whole accompaniment will stop and wait for you to find
and play the right notes.
The accuracy bar monitors how well you are playing. If you are skilled
enough the accuracy bar will go right to the end and then turn blue.
But every time you are too slow or playing out of time, then the
accuracy bar slips back a bit.
You can watch a video of it in action on YouTube:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7YaDllVreuM
Piano Booster 0.5.0 is released under the GPL and is available at
SourceForge on this page:

Hello,
We'd like to announce a new release of jackctlmmc, a command line tool for
driving JACK transport using Midi Machine Code that you can download here:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=245788
or get the code here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/jackctlmmc.git
The program is still in its infancy but it should work for most MMC devices.
It currently supports the following MMC commands:
Play / Deferred Play - start transport
Stop - stop transport
Rewind - go to time 0
Goto: go to the specified SMPTE time
It's a pretty simple command line utility for now, but we'll be working on a
QT front end soon. To use jackctlmmc:
1) start the program on the command line: ./jackctlmmc -f <your device's
SMPTE frame rate> -t <jitter tolerance in milliseconds>
You can also specify -v if you want it to output messages in the console for
all MMC commands it's handling, which is useful for testing.
2) connect your midi port to jackctlmmc using either aconnect or JACK's
connect (you will have to specify JACK's midi driver as "seq" if you want to
connect using JACK).
For the goto command to work, jackctlmmc needs to know your device frame
rate which you can specify with -f, or use the default 30 fps. Some MMC
devices (like my BR900CD 8-track) are awfully spammy with their goto
messages, so we've implemented a jitter tolerance (specified in milliseconds
on the command line with -t, defaulting to 50) so jackctlmmc will ignore
goto commands that are already close enough to the current JACK transport
time.
There's still a lot of work to do on the application, but we've been getting
emails asking for progress updates, so we decided to do a quick release now.
Hopefully it's useful to people other than ourselves.

Hi,
The FFADO team is proud to announce the first release candidate for
FFADO 2.0.
This release candidate is intended to collect feedback about the library
under wide-spread usage. The code should be free of major bugs.
We are looking for packagers that are interested in creating packages
for their favorite distribution. Please contact us if you can help us
out with this.
Release and download information:
http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/rc1
Currently, the installation options are:
* manual build from source
[http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/rc1]
* semi-automatic build from source into a 'sandbox'
[http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/SandboxInstalls]
* APT repository for Ubuntu Gutsy and Hardy (possibly others)
[http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/apt]
Please test and report issues at our TRAC at http://subversion.ffado.org/

After a frenetic month getting things ready for the SAE version of
Ardour, I am happy to announce the public release of Ardour 2.7. For
the first time this includes public versions for OS X
Intel: http://releases.ardour.org/Ardour2-Intel-4225.zip
PPC: http://releases.ardour.org/Ardour2-PPC-4225.zip
as well as our usual source tarball:
http://releases.ardour.org/ardour-2.7-4225.tar.bz2
This release is dominated by dramatic improvements in OS
X GUI performance and startup time, but it also contains a lot of
significant bug fixes. However, somewhat to my surprise, Ardour also
accumulated quite a lot of nice new features since 2.6.1 as you
can see below.
FEATURES
Overall dramatic improvements in OS X GUI performance
New action to rotate editor/mixer window stacking
New action to cycle through mouse modes
Plugin windows can now have keyboard focus locked to them
Add missing extensions to exported files based on selected file type
Loop/Range ruler now visible by default
Default crossfade is now -3dB cut
Crossfade presets changed to include -6dB cut and two S-curves
(icons sadly not changed yet)
New support for Wiimote control (experimental, disabled by
default, and not possible on OS X)
Selected tracks are always visible when scrolling through with
select-next-track or select-previous-track
Skip non-active and hidden tracks with select-previous-track and
select-next-track
Several new tooltips all over the place and better tooltip colors
On OS X, Button2 can be emulated with Ctrl-Option-Button1
Busses are never auto-connected to physical inputs
Unmodified clicking in canvas rulers now sets playhead position,
similar to existing behaviour in the "real" rulers. Use Ctrl-
(Linux) or Command (OS X)-click/drag for new markers/ranges.
Crossfade-editor specific keybindings: space => play xfade,
left-arrow => play fade out,
ctrl-left-arrow => dry fade out,
right-arrow => play fade in,
ctrl-right-arrow => dry fade in
Drag-n-Drop from OS X Finder now more reliable but no longer
supports MP3 or AAC (will be reverted in the future)
Start position and Sync position clocks added popup region editor
Better stay-on-top behaviour for certain windows
LV2 port notification fix for GUI updating
New German translation
New post-export nag screen
Per-track OSC control of solo/mute/rec-enable and gain
FIXES
Removed suggestion that users can save while disconnected from JACK
Corrected reversed handling of "show-editor-mixer" state on startup
Fixed crasher caused by changing gain with transport stopped &
panner bypassed
Correct reverse logic for making h/w monitoring available given
h/w capabilities
Fix confusing relabelling of plugin bypass button
Prevent double registration of ALSA sequencer ports
Correctly initialize JACK timeout parameter when starting JACK
Ignore triple-clicks on mute/solo/rec-enable button
Momentary solo/mute now works
Fix serious error when calculating interpolated Curve values
(will cause tiny, almost certainly undetectable changes in
automation and fade curves, but may also remove clicks)
Fix quoting in TOC files
wrap PBD::Thread... signals in a mutex to avoid crashing during
startup as multiple threads "emit" the signal
Make comboboxes a little bigger on X11
B|B|T clocks measuring duration now use zero-based values
New regions created by AudioFilters (Reverse/TimeFX/Transpose)
inherit all relevant settings of their ancestor
Fix for incorrect reading of fade out curve under a few
circumstances
Catch exceptions while loading AudioUnits
Correct some glitches with playhead motion when looping/reversing
Fix failure when opening a session by double-clicking the session
file icon (OS X)
Fix loss of "current dialog" tracking when exiting a dialog via a
button (could cause crash on next Ctrl-w)
Detect no-installed-JACK on OS X to avoid silent crashes for
new users
DEVELOPMENT
GTK/OSX patch now in SVN
Check build host for broken mutex-based glib atomic ops
Two versions of clearlooks now in SVN - older, for X11 (crisp!),
and newer for OS X (faster!)
CONTRIBUTORS
MASSIVE thanks to Nick Mainsbridge who, with the financial support of
SAE and his own dedication to the cause, pulled off a minor miracle
with OS X GUI performance, as well as many SAE-specific fixes and
improvements.
Other work and fixes: Sampo Savolainen, Don Fredricks, Krzysztof
Foltman, Dave Robillard, and the plumber himself, Paul Davis
