The 0.7 release of dssi-vst is now available. dssi-vst is a DSSI plugin wrapper for Win32 VST effects and instruments with GUI support, allowing them to be loaded into any DSSI host. As of this release, it also provides a LADSPA wrapper for effects plugins. dssi-vst finally has its own homepage: http://www.breakfastquay.com/dssi-vst/ Changes since the previous version 0.6: * dssi-vst now exposes a LADSPA descriptor as well as a DSSI descriptor, and the install target now installs dssi-vst to the system LADSPA directory as well as the DSSI one. This change permits you to use dssi-vst to load VST effects in LADSPA hosts, as well as to load VST effects and instruments in DSSI hosts as before. When used in a LADSPA host, the VST GUI will not be shown unless the host supports DSSI-style GUIs for LADSPA plugins as well -- which most do not. (If you don't want dssi-vst to provide LADSPA plugins too, simply do not install it into the LADSPA plugin directory, install it only in the DSSI one.) * The vsthost program uses jack_client_open instead of jack_client_new, for more predictable client names. * dssi-vst now compiles with gcc 4.3 and is slightly less likely than previously to crash on startup. A warning: the new provision of a LADSPA wrapper causes problems when used with versions of Rosegarden older than 1.7.0. These versions support both LADSPA and DSSI plugins, but will use the LADSPA plugin of a given soname and label in preference to a similarly named DSSI, causing the DSSI versions of VST effects provided by dssi-vst to be inaccessible. Version 1.7.0 of Rosegarden reversed this, and so works better with this release of dssi-vst. Chris

[OKNO] symbiosis #2 agents of collaborative performance | workshop and performance (29-31/5)

by list＠isjtar.org

OKNO - artist run organisation for art and mediatechnology - brussels http://okno.be For the second installment of Symbiosis, we invite Dutch artists Jan-Kees van Kampen (aka vacca, GOTO10) and Arjen Keesmaat for an electronic music performance. Coupled to the event is a Performance Lab session in the form of a three day workshop by GOTO10's Jan-Kees van Kampen. In this workshop we will work on a collaborative playground for an audiovisual performance/installation. Focussing on using scsynth to generate sound, hold data and build a sequencer for networked play, we use the supercollider language as an intermediate between the server and external clients. SuperCollider is a programming language for sound and electronic music. Excellently adapted to a contemporary environment of networks, free software and live coding, SuperCollider is an extraordinary tool in the technological artist's arsenal. It sounds gorgeous too. GOTO10 is a collective of international artists and programmers, dedicated to Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) and digital arts. GOTO10 aims to support and grow digital art projects and tools for artistic creation, located on the blurry line between software programming and art. The workshop is free. For admission, please send a short mail with info on your background and skills to symbiosis(a)isjtar.org. http://okno.be/?id=1238 http://isjtar.org Workshop: 29-30-31 May 10 - 17 Performance: 31 May 20h @ OKNO Koolmijnenkaai 34 Quai aux Charbonnages - Brussels - Belgium public transport: metro Graaf van Vlaanderen/Comte de Flandre -- Tram18 With the kind support of the Flemisch authorities and the VGC (Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie).

NASPRO 0.1.0 released

by Stefano D'Angelo

Hello, (Sorry for cross-posting) I'm happy to announce the first "development" (unstable) release of NASPRO (v. 0.1.0). NASPRO (http://naspro.atheme.org) is a free, powerful, reusable, modular, real-time capable, thread-safe, scalable, standard-agnostic, cross-platform framework for digital signal processing, especially focused on sound processing. ts main aim is to give audio application developers a full-featured, yet scalable, high-performance and integrated tool to make use of virtually any external sound processing component (including, but not limited to, LADSPA/DSSI, LV2, VST, AudioUnits and DirectX plugins) via a single, fully transparent and platform-independent API. So, an application using NASPRO will be capable of running simultaneously and exchange data among sound processing components which would be normally incompatible, without even having knowledge of what kind they actually are. The current release only supports LADSPA 1.1 and Audacious' EffectPlugin API. In fact, it was meant as a prototype/demo to be shown to other developers for involvement. So, the purpose of this release is not to show a gorgeous API and/or a super-fast implementation, but it actually a proof-of-concept and a starting point for further development. The NASPRO project is open to everyone developing in the audio field and feedback is very welcome in all cases. Best regards, Stefano D'Angelo

[ANN] ll-plugins 0.2.0

by Lars Luthman

ll-plugins is a small collection of LV2 plugins and a host that runs them. This is the first release. In order to build ll-plugins you need to have the following packages installed: cairomm >= 1.2.4 gtkmm >= 2.8.8 libjack >= 0.109.0 liblash >= 0.5.1 lv2-c++-tools >= 1.0.0 libsndfile >= 1.0.16 libsamplerate >= 0.1.2 You can download the latest released version of ll-plugins from http://ll-plugins.nongnu.org You can also get the latest development code from the Git repository using this command: git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/ll-plugins.git Beware that the development code may not work or even compile. THE PLUGINS =========== All plugins are installed in separate LV2 bundles (except the ones that are closely related, like the math-constant plugins or the mono and stereo versions of the peak meter). The GUIs, for the plugins that have GUIs, are installed in bundles of their own to make it easier for packagers to put them in separate binary packages to avoid Gtk dependencies for the plugins themselves. The plugins are reasonably simple and could be used as examples or starting points for hackers who want to write LV2 plugins based on the frameworks in the lv2-c++-tools package. There are synths, event processors, simple audio and control manipulators and GUI-based plugins. BASIC ARPEGGIATOR ================= This plugin is just what it says. It takes MIDI event input and writes MIDI event output in the form of an arpeggio over the held keys in the input. You can control the speed of the arpeggio and the direction (up or down). CONTROL2MIDI ============ A plugin that converts a LV2 control port value to MIDI CC events. You can set the CC number and the expected range of the input value. KLAVIATUR ========= A MIDI keyboard. You can use it to send pitchbend events, CC events and of course notes, using mouse or keyboard. Handy when you want to test a synth patch but don't have a real keyboard nearby. Klaviatur has a Gtk GUI that you use to control it. MATH-CONSTANTS ============== A set of plugins that output constant control parameters for mathematical constants defined in the C header <math.h>. MATH-FUNCTIONS ============== A set of plugins wrapping most of the functions in the C header <math.h> (sin(), cos(), exp(), modf() etc). All are available as both audio rate and control rate functions. PEAK METER ========== A decaying peak meter that shows the peak level of the input signal. There is a mono and a stereo version. Both have Gtk GUIs. RUDOLF 556 ========== A simple drum machine with six separate drum voices - two bass drums, two snares and two hihats. The different voices are mapped to C, D, E, F, G and A in all octaves, and every voice has three control parameters (length, hardness and volume). This plugin has a Gtk GUI that you can use to control the parameters. SINESHAPER ========== An LV2 version of the Sineshaper synth - two sine oscillators fed through two sine waveshapers in series, with a bunch of parameters to control them. This plugin has a Gtk GUI too. THE HOST ======== The host that comes with this package is called Elven (Experimental LV2 Execution ENvironment). It is pretty slow and I don't really recommend it. If you can use another host, do that. --ll

Rakarrack 0.1.2 is released!!!!

by Daniel Vidal

Dear all We are pleased to announce the release of RAKARRACK, The best program for guitar effects developed for the platform GNU/Linux under the GPL license. This based on the magnificent set of effects developed by Paul Nasca Octavian for the synthesizer ZynAddSubFX. It contains 10 effects: Linear EQ, Compressor, Distortion, Overdrive, Echo, Chorus, Phaser, flanger, Reverb and parametric EQ. But that's not all. It has characteristics that make it unique. It includes a tuner and a monophonic MIDI converter and is capable of receiving MIDI signals to control volume and program change. You can save and restore the state of the rack on file and also manages banks up to 80 presets. The application is distributed with a bank of 80 effects of the most varied styles. The help is available in four languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. This software, documentation and demos is available in http://rakarrack.sourceforge.net This link lead you to a demo http://rakarrack.sourceforge.net/rak-128.ogg The team RAKARRACK wants to give special thanks to Carlos Pino, a great Spanish guitarist, he has advised, directed, and criticized that without his invaluable assistance this program would not have been possible. These links lead you to your music ... It's a beautiful trip. http://www.myspace.com/toonik http://www.myspace.com/carlospinojazz

[ANN] jack-smf-utils 1.0

by Edward Tomasz Napierala

Version 1.0 of jack-smf-utils can be downloaded from: http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/jack-smf-utils/jack-smf-utils-1.0.tar.gz Jack-smf-utils is a set of two command line utilities - jack-smf-player and jack-smf-recorder - whose purpose is to play and record MIDI streams from/to Standard Midi Files (i.e. the files with .mid extension) using JACK MIDI. There is also smfsh, "SMF shell", that is an interactive, command line driven SMF files manipulation tool which started its life as a debugging aid. And finally libsmf, C library for loading, writing and manipulating the contents of SMF files. http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/jack-smf-utils/ API documentation for libsmf is here: http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/jack-smf-utils/doc/ There is no separate package for libsmf yet; if you need it - let me know. -- If you cut off my head, what would I say? Me and my head, or me and my body?

[ANN] jack-keyboard 2.5

by Edward Tomasz Napierala

Version 2.5 of jack-keyboard can be downloaded from: http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/jack-keyboard/jack-keyboard-2.5.tar.gz The biggest change is switching from hand-written makefiles to autotools. This should make packagers' life easier. jack-keyboard is a virtual MIDI keyboard - a program that allows you to send JACK MIDI events (play ;-) using your PC keyboard. It's somewhat similar to vkeybd, except it uses JACK MIDI instead of ALSA, and the keyboard mapping is much better - it uses the same layout as trackers (like Impulse Tracker) did, so you have two and half octaves under your fingers. http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/jack-keyboard/ -- If you cut off my head, what would I say? Me and my head, or me and my body?
