[LAA] Sources of Paul "mda" Kellett's plugins have been released

by Frank Neumann

Hi list, not sure if this was mentioned here before (I hardly find the time to read the LA* lists regularly these days), but someone from IRC let me know that the VST/VSTi plugin suite by Paul Kellett has been released by its author as source, see here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=230958 I don't have a Windows-based audio system so I cannot judge about the quality of his plugins, but I am pretty confident (from what I know and read about his work) that these could be pretty fine, perhaps an interesting alternative or addendum to, say, the swh-plugins. Should be a cornucopia for interested LADSPA/LV2 porters, anyway :-). As it seems, there is already a binary of a ported package at http://linux-vst.com/download/mda_linux.tar.gz No idea who managed to convince Paul to do this, but big thanks to both of you for arranging this! This should be a quite valuable resource, for DSP coders and finally also for users. Regards, Frank

[LAA] [ANN] libsmf-1.1

by Edward Tomasz Napierala

Version 1.1 of libsmf can be downloaded from: http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/libsmf/libsmf-1.1.tar.gz Libsmf is a library for loading and writing Standard MIDI Files, i.e. files with the ".mid" extension. The only dependancy is glib. It was tested under Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. Please note that, by default, libsmf is built with lots of asserts, which make it slower; for example, inside smf_save, there is some code that loads the newly saved file and compares it with what it was supposed to save. If some operation takes noticeable amount of time, try to recompile libsmf with -DNDEBUG to disable asserts. http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/libsmf/ API documentation is here: http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/libsmf/doc/ -- If you cut off my head, what would I say? Me and my head, or me and my body?

Call for Participation ================ Foundations of Open Media Software (FOMS) Developer Workshop Thursday 15 - Friday 16 January 2009 Hobart (Tasmania), Australia http://www.annodex.org/events/foms2009/ Important Dates: Submissions open: 11th June 2008 Submissions close: 15th August 2008 Notification: 30th September 2008 What is FOMS: Foundations of Open Media Software (FOMS) is a developer workshop to widen cooperation and interoperability among open source media projects. Meet and discuss your plans for the next 12 months and forge relationships with other developers to unwind the kinks, making open media kick ever more ass. This is a call for participation in the third FOMS meeting, which will be held in Hobart, Australia over two days in January leading up to linux.conf.au 2009. The FOMS meeting is organised by developers for developers. FOMS caters for developers with topics of interest in and related to: * open audio & video codecs * open audio & media frameworks * audio infrastructure * web video (HTML5 audio/video) and crossover with open source * mobile video * open audio & video applications * open metadata * open media standards The proximity to linux.conf.au allows us also to discuss audio- and video-related issues with the developers of Open Source kernel, networking and desktop systems. How to attend / submit: FOMS attendees will be developers of open media software from the community as well as professional delegates from companies with a background and interest in this space. The attendance fee for professional delegates is A$420 - community participation is free. Attendees are expected to have a background in open media software. If you would like to attend, please contact foms-committee(at)lists.annodex.net and tell us why you should be there. Also mention if you require travel assistance. Coincident Conferences: Since FOMS2009 is happening the week before linux.conf.au, in the same city, you may want to consider submitting a proposal for that conference as well. Travel Funding: FOMS highly values it's developer attendees. FOMS has provided a limited number of sponsorships for travel funding for the best developers since it's beginning. Further travel sponsorship can be achieved by being an accepted speaker to linux.conf.au. The Linux Foundation also has travel sponsorships to important events like FOMS and LCA.

[LAA] 64 Studio 2.1 'A Minha Menina' released!

by Daniel James

64 Studio is a GNU/Linux distribution tailor-made for digital content creation, including audio, video, graphics and publishing tools. A remix of Debian 4.0 'Etch', it comes in both AMD64/Intel64 and 32-bit flavours, to run on nearly all PC hardware. We aim to combine the stability and quality of Etch with a specialised real-time preemption kernel and the latest creative tools demanded by multimedia artists. Our tweaks to Debian include simplified installation and default settings which help get production started quickly. Version 2.1 is the first update to the second stable release of 64 Studio. It is named after a song by Jorge Ben, recorded by Os Mutantes and covered by The Bees. New versions of applications such as Ardour and Rosegarden are the main reason to upgrade, plus general bugfixes and updates from Etch. It's not meant to be a bleeding edge release; it only contains necessary changes. Some distros aim to give you the latest of everything, but we prefer our stable branch to concentrate on long-term usability. In that respect, it's similar to Debian stable or Ubuntu LTS. It's a recommended upgrade for all 64 Studio users, without fear of system breakage. Upgrades from previous 64 Studio releases ----------------------------------------- Full upgrade instructions for the command line or Synaptic are available at: http://www.64studio.com/upgrade A new apt mirror for the stable branch is now available at: deb http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/64studio.com/apt/ 64studio main Thanks to the Computer Science department at the University of Kent in the UK - you guys rock, and roll :-) New 64 Studio installations --------------------------- DVD-R image mirrors are listed here: http://www.64studio.com/download Checking the integrity of your download with md5sum is strongly recommended. Release notes are available in Czech, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish - thanks again to all our translators! For users without a DVD burner, images for the 64 Studio 2.0 Live CD are still available from our download mirrors. We also recommend the live CD for users who want to check out 64 Studio without installing. Contact the 64 Studio project ----------------------------- For more details, to join our mailing lists and forums, or to post bug reports, please visit: http://www.64studio.com/ We hope you enjoy being creative with free software!

[LAA] QjackCtl 0.3.3 (unstable-qt4) released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Howdy! I am pleased to announce this new and long due release of QjackCtl, the Qt GUI for the awesome JACK Audio Connection Kit. Release highlights are mainly about final JACK-MIDI support for the "evil" Patchbay, new Messages file logging and the most intriguing application window instance uniqueness which will make X11 desktop life easier for everyone (ie. no more duplicates as JACK server gets auto-started as candy bonus:) You can grab it from the project source as usual: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl In case you need an upstream hug, you're free to visit my own forum: http://www.rncbc.org The change-log doesn't say much but... here it goes: - Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks). - Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance, with user configurable settings in Setup/Options/Logging. - Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown up and the server started automatically (Qt/X11 platform only). - Finally, full JACK MIDI support sneaks into the patchbay; socket types now differ in Audio, MIDI and ALSA, following the very same nomenclature as found on the Connections widget tabs. - Sun driver support (by Jacob Meuser). - Delay window positioning at startup option is now being disabled, on the Setup/Misc tab, when Minimize to system tray is enabled. - Cosmetic fix: Setup/Settings tab, 'Input Device' text label was using a slightly smaller font than the rest of the application (bug#1872545, reported by Jouni Rinne). Cheers && Enjoy -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

[LAA] [ANN] ssg-1.13 (Simple Sine Generator)

by Nedko Arnaudov

New version of Simple Sine Generator is available. Simple Sine Generator is very simple instrument/generator plugin with midi in and audio out. It expected to be useful for testing LV2 hosts and as base for writing your own plugins. It is written in plain C. = What is new = Main change is switch to event port LV2 extension. LV2 URI is changed and installation directory is changed too. So you can have both older midi port variant and newer even port ssg installed simultaneously. Also, bug in Makefile is fixed. If with earlier version you got error on compilation because of missing fftw or dynparam libraries, now it should be fine. Also, there is fix of a pitch bug (wrong octave). I'd like to thank Andreas Kusterer for switching ssg to even port extension. Simple Sine Generator has trac homepage now: http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/ssg/trac = Download = http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/ssg/ssg-1.13.tar.bz2 http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/ssg/ssg-1.13.tar.bz2.sig -- Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: DE1716B0>

[LAA] [ANN] dssi-vst 0.7

by Chris Cannam

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

[LAA] [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).
