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. The output facilities to Lilypond are greatly revised in this release. Strasheela now outputs the format of the latest stable Lilypond release (2.10.0), supports various special cases (e.g., single staff polyphony, chords, enharmonic notation, basic tuplets), and the customisation options have been extended. New examples demonstrate these features. In addition, this version facilitates composition in 22-tone equal temperament (22 ET): various 22 ET chords and scales are provided, and output to Lilypond, as well as Csound is supported. New examples have been added which create microtonal chord progressions. Other additions and bugfixes have been made to the system 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 This release can be downloaded from: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=167225 -- Torsten Anders Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research University of Plymouth Office: +44-1752-233667 Private: +44-1752-558917 http://strasheela.sourceforge.net http://www.torsten-anders.de

Rivendell v1.0.0rc0

by Fred Gleason

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the release of Rivendell v1.0.0rc0. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License. Changes in this release include (from the NEWS file): *** snip snip *** New Switcher Device. Support has been added for the 'Quartz' line of video routing switchers made by Evertz. See the relevant section in 'docs/SWITCHERS.txt' for details. Logging Changes. A [Logs] section has been added to rd.conf(5) for configuring event logging. Logging can now be done directly to files (as before) or through the syslog facility. See the comments in 'conf/rd.conf-sample' for details on setting this up. Overlap Transition Retired. The ability to schedule 'Overlap' transitions in program logs has been removed. The equivalent functionality can still be achieved by scheduling a 'Segue' transition with the 'No Fade at Event End' attribute enabled. Any existing overlap transitions will be automatically converted when the database schema update is applied. Random Cut Rotation Retired. The ability to schedule cuts to rotate 'randomly' within a cart has been removed, with all cut rotation now using the original 'sequential' algorithm. Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 158, and will automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo. As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Further information, screenshots and download links are available at: http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

[ANN] jack_capture V0.9.10 and Snd-ls V0.9.8.16

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

jack_capture ============ jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into a file. (But it can do a number of other operations as well...) Screenshot: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/jack_capture.png http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/?M=D 0.9.7 -> 0.9.10: *Fixed segfault in case the --channels / -c argument is higher than the number of ports which is possible to connect to. *Added a terminal vu meter by default. It'll also display red in case the recorded jack value is equal to or higher than 1.0. Use "-dv" to disable. *Added the --meterbridge / -mb option, which automatically starts Steve Harris' meterbridge (http://plugin.org.uk/meterbridge/) and constantly connects them to the same ports as jack_capture is connected to. *Added the --write-to-stdout / -ws option which writes 16 bit little endian sound to stdout. Code made by looking at jack-stdout.c by Robin Gareus. *Added the --print-formats / -pf option. *Replaced jack_client_new() with jack_client_open() Snd-ls V0.9.8.16 ================ Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor SND. (http://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/snd/) Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up. Snd-ls also serves as base code for the San-Dysth softsynth (http://www.notam02.no/~kjetism/sandysth/) and the Snd-rt music programming language (http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/doc/snd-rt) http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/snd/ 0.9.8.13 -> 0.9.8.16: *Fixed definstrument and faust. *Removed deprecated CAIRO_FONT_TYPE_ATSUI *Updated <slider> in snd-rt, <slider> in gui. (bugs reported by "border") *Fixed definstrument. *Replaced jack_client_new with jack_client_open

[ANNOUNCE] pytagsfs version 0.6.0

by Forest Bond

Hi, [I've sent this message to several large mailing lists. Please be sure any replies don't get sent to all of them, i.e. don't use the Reply-to-all feature of your mail client.] I'm pleased to announce the release of pytagsfs version 0.6.0. This release includes significant enhancements as well as critical bug fixes: * Support for mkdir/rmdir. * Improved performance for readdir. This makes directory listings faster. * Fix for broken stat result caching. This bug would have caused significant performance problems. * Fix for incorrect directory timestamps. * Fix for bad handling of updates to previously unrepresentable source files. This bug would cause files to not appear under the mount tree when tagged. * Fix for incompatibility with version 0.2 of the Python FUSE bindings. Thanks to Chris Pickel and Jeremy Jones for reporting bugs and testing fixes. The full set of changes for this release is available: http://www.pytagsfs.org/Changelogs/0.6.0 To download this release: http://www.pytagsfs.org/Download pytagsfs is a FUSE filesystem that arranges media files in a virtual directory structure based on the file tags. For instance, a set of audio files could be mapped to a new directory structure organizing them hierarchically by album, genre, release date, etc. File tags can be changed by moving and renaming virtual files and directories. The virtual files can also be modified directly, and, of course, can be opened and played just like regular files. For a more thorough introduction, see: http://www.pytagsfs.org/Introduction Please visit http://www.pytagsfs.org to obtain more information. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks, Forest -- Forest Bond http://www.alittletooquiet.net http://www.pytagsfs.org

Qtractor 0.1.2 (frantic dame) is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Season greetings, As (almost) everybody knows already, or ought to, Qtractor is an Audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application, written in C++ on the Qt4 framework and Linux is about its native platform. Thus, JACK and ALSA are the main infrastructures that fit to purpose, respectively for audio and MIDI. Also a known fact is that this is nothing more than my pet, hobby, spare-time-burner, whatever project, but... it's actually my own dogfood where digital music making and (re)creation matters. Yep. I still have this sublime hope to make it evolve as a fairly featured Desktop Audio/MIDI Workstation, one special and dedicated to the personal homestudio. As joked many times before, it's perfectly tagged for the techno-boy bedroom home-studio, but techno-girls can also apply ;). You tell me. Qtractor 0.1.2 (frantic dame) is out! As obvious as in any respectable easter egg ;) This time, some important fixes have sneaked in and other are surely popping and will be lurking out. Main ones go down like this: * You can finally create new clips from scratch. * Track record monitoring with audio effects applied. * New Track/View menu items, all shortcut configurable. * Overlapped clips rendering hopefully fixed. * Improved MIDI editor selection. * New clip-split command. * VST plug-in parameters are now undo/redo-able (mostly). You can grab the new stuff from the usual project site: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Direct download links: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.1.2.tar.gz http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.1.2-user-manual.pdf Wait, please take a note: if you ever feel you're having something to say, a heads-up call or just a direction to point, do not ever hesitate in having your worries known upstream. Please, feel welcome at my http://www.rncbc.org Now the plain change-log follows, since she was just a futile duchess: - Session length fixed (yet again) while extend recording; also improved follow-playhead switching while playback/recording. - Whitespace sanitization gets leaner for all recorded filenames. - Run-time SSE optimization detection has been improved while on configure; additionally, IEEE 32bit float specific optimizations have also sneaked in. - SSE optimization is now featured over all audio monitoring, and most specially on audio bus buffering, lowering the CPU burden a bit while doing track and bus gain, pan, metering and mix-down. - Fixed MIDI clip move into new track, preserving the original channel, bank and program whenever possible. - Fixed session cursor seeking, specially regarding overlapped clips, once gain. - The MIDI editor gets new menu access to current MIDI clip track (see File/Track/Inputs, Outputs, Properties); selection of MIDI events has also been improved, specially regarding overlapped note events. - Clip split command enters the stage (see Edit/Clip/Split) about splitting the current (selected) clip at the current playhead position (red cursor line). - Creating new clips from scratch is now finally permitted (see Edit/Clip/New...); additionally, the clip properties dialog is now also allowing for changing the filename (and track/channel as special to MIDI clips). - Record armed tracks are now properly monitored and fed through their own output audio bus on mix-down, which includes plug-in effects processing. - The files widget get alternating coloured rows. - VST plug-in preset values are now being restored properly; individual parameter changes are now being queued for the also convenient undo/redo command pattern. - Some audio clip buffer-sync tweaks have sneaked in, improving and fixing the rendering of full-overlapped, integrally cached and/or offset clips altogether. - Stuffed one primordial shot on XInitThreads() at the main head, and let native VST plug-ins start behaving as they should, or not; this might be in fact problematic and dangerous for people who won't ever try the JUCE based plugins as from JUCETICE (http://www.anticore.org/jucetice), due to some broken locking mechanism in xcb; thanks anyway to mighty kRAkEn/gORe@JUCETICE for this precious hint and from who knows best. - True deterministic session length update has due fixed. - Track menu has new accessible actions: Track/Inputs - show current track input bus connections; Track/Outputs - show current track output bus connections; Track/State/Record - arm current track for recording; Track/State/Mute - mute current track; Track/State/Solo - solo current track; Track/Navigate/First - make current the first track; Track/Navigate/Previous - make current the previous track; Track/Navigate/Next - make current the next track; Track/Navigate/Last - make current the last track; Track/Move/Top - move current track to top; Track/Move/Up - move current track up; Track/Move/Down - move current track down; Track/Move/Bottom - move current track to bottom; - View menus have new accessible actions: View/Zoom/In - horizontal and vertical zoom-in (Ctrl +); View/Zoom/Out - horizontal and vertical zoom-out (Ctrl -); View/Zoom/Reset - reset both zoom levels to default; View/Snap - select current snap-per-beat setting; - Plug-in forms don't auto-open on session reload anymore. - Keyboard shortcuts icon item (Help/Shortcuts...) sneaks in. That's all folks. For the time being... :) Cheers && Enjoy -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela

[ANN] Snd-Rt homepage update, Snd-ls V0.9.8.13 and jack_capture V0.9.7

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

Snd-Rt ====== Snd-rt is a realtime music programming environment running inside the Snd sound editor. The homepage has been updated with links, papers and many examples on how to create GUI's and how to access Faust. The old fancy design is still kept unchanged. http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/doc/snd-rt/ Snd-ls V0.9.8.13 ================ Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor SND. (http://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/snd/) Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up. Snd-ls also serves as base code for the San-Dysth softsynth (http://www.notam02.no/~kjetism/sandysth/) and the Snd-rt music programming language (http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/doc/snd-rt) http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/snd/ Changes 0.9.8.5 -> 0.9.8.13 --------------------------- -Updated Snd-Rt. (unguote-splicing, gui) -Updated Snd-Rt. (gui, dynamic scoping, oscil* etc.) -Updated Snd-Rt. (timer) -Updated Snd-Rt. (timer, faust, definstrument) -Updated Snd-Rt. Faust support. -Fixed rt timer. Previously it only ran 3 hours before giving negative numbers. Now it should run approx. 13 million years. (not tested) -Removed access to removed functions in jack. -Updated eval-c.scm. jack_capture ============ jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into a file. (But it can do a number of other operations as well...) http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ 0.9.6 -> 0.9.7: *Don't segfault if the opening of a subsequent wav soundfile fails. (ie. if the 4GB limitation is reached on the old file and jack_capture continues writing on a new file.)

[ANN] KMetronome 0.8.1 Released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Hi, KMetronome is a GPL licensed MIDI metronome with KDE 3 interface, based on the ALSA sequencer. More details here: http://kmetronome.sourceforge.net Important bugs fixed in this release: * Fix a compilation error using GCC 4. * Fix MIDI output for QSynth/Fluidsynth and other soft synths. It uses now longer (configurable) durations, or even avoids using note off events entirely (new user option). * Schedule always one bar ahead of current time, to avoid the nasty little gaps between patterns, seen sometimes when using the program under heavy CPU load. Download http://downloads.sourceforge.net/kmetronome/kmetronome-0.8.1.tar.bz2?downlo… Regards, Pedro
