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.

Version 2.3 of jack-keyboard can be downloaded from:
http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/jack-keyboard/jack-keyboard-2.3.tar.gz
List of changes is here:
http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/jack-keyboard/changelog.html
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.

Hi all!
We are glad to announce that 64 Studio 2.1rc1, the first release
candidate for our forthcoming stable 2.1 version, has been made
available for download.
Please note that is a testing release, so if you want to stick
to the stable version of 64 Studio, please use 2.0 for now. However,
2.1rc1 is in generally good shape, and shouldn't present any nasty
surprises.
ISO images for AMD64 and i386 are here, with md5sums:
http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_2.1rc1_amd64.isohttp://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_2.1rc1_amd64.iso.md5sumhttp://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_2.1rc1_i386.isohttp://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_2.1rc1_i386.iso.md5sum
The i386 build is a 32-bit edition which runs on almost all PCs. Choose
the AMD64 build for optimal performance on recent PCs.
You can also upgrade from a plain 2.0 install or from previous testing
releases using our testing APT repository:
deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/testing 64studio main
and running apt-get dist-upgrade (or click the upgrade button in
the Synaptic package manager).
To avoid breakages, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU COMMENT OUT OR UNCHECK ANY
OTHER APT REPOSITORY (for example the Debian ones), as they might
interfere with the upgrade procedure.
Known bugs in 2.1rc1 include:
1. After logging in, the Gnome splash hangs around until you click it.
2. Gnome menu icons are missing for Scribus, Hexter and Nekobee.
3. The myspell-fr package is installed by default, but not other
languages. This means Icedove can only spellcheck in French.
4. The System Tools -> Sysinfo menu item does not function.
Bug reports are welcome on our development mailing list:
http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-devel
or directly on our Trac development site:
http://trac.64studio.com/64studio/
Happy testing!

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 0.5.0. This release
includes significant enhancements as well as critical bug fixes:
* Support for Python 2.4.
* Support for source tree monitoring with Gamin; pytagsfs should now be
cross-platform compatible.
* Improved performance handling updates to the source tree.
* Support for more graceful handling of path collisions.
* Fixes for two serious bugs affecting data integrity (#195476, #195477).
The full set of changes for this release is available:
http://www.pytagsfs.org/Changelogs/0.5.0
To download this release:
http://www.pytagsfs.org/Download
pytagsfs is a FUSE filesystem that designed to present multiple views of tagged
media files. For instance, a directory tree containing audio files could be
mapped to a new directory structure organizing those same files by album, genre,
release date, etc.
For a more thorough introduction, see:
http://www.pytagsfs.org/Introduction
Please visit http://www.pytagsfs.org to obtain more information. Please pardon
the particularly young and fresh website. I'll be adding more content there
shortly.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. Feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Forest

Snd-ls V0.9.8.5
===============
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)
Changes 0.9.8.3 -> 0.9.8.5
--------------------------
-Updated Snd-rt.
-Fixed player
-Fixed append
-Updated Snd-rt.
Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/snd/
San Dysth V0.1.1
================
This softsynth has controls to generate various kinds of sounds inbetween
white noise and pure tones. It also provides controllers to disturb the
generated sound by using a "period counter" to extend the variety of the
generated output.
Common usage for the softsynth is organ-like sound, organic-like sound,
alien-like sounds, water-like sounds, and various kinds of noise (noise
artists could find this softsynth most useful).
Change from V0.1.0:
* Fixed load/save dialog.

Hi,
Pyjackctl 1.0 is out. let's just call that the "lac2008" release :-)
This project was created to take advantage of Nedko Arnaudov's JACK
Audio Connection Kit (improvements) patches, especially the dbus proof
of concept patch. It offers basic functionalities to control a JACK
daemon over a dbus interface (start/stop, configure, etc.), it also
includes a jack log viewer, a wmdock applet and a script to display
jack's state on a G15 keyboard's LCD. Those curious of how it looks
will find a set of screenshots on the homepage. You are welcome to
test and comment.
homepage : http://www.marcochapeau.org/software/pyjackctl
download : http://www.marcochapeau.org/files/pyjackctl-1.0.tar.gz
The necessary set of jack patches can be found here :
http://sharesource.org/project/jack/
Please keep in mind that this is a proof of concept to explore new
ideas, not a finished product.

Amuc (the Amsterdam Music Composer) version 1.6 is available now.
This version is aiming more at "real composers", who are not supposed
te be computer geeks also. So more menu's and less need to use the
command line. Also a Debian package is available, so you don't need
a development environment in order to install Amuc. It is available
from sourceforge or from Amuc's homepage:
http://members.chello.nl/w.boeke/amuc/index.html
Here you also can find some demo songs and the manual.
Amuc is a light-weight tool for composing and playing music.
'Light-weight' in the sense of not needing graphical or other toolkits.
It is very fast and offers useful features to help the inexperienced
composer. It also incorporates a pitch extractor, translating a wave
file to notes.

Wouter Boeke
Version 1.2 of the Vamp plugin SDK is now available.
http://www.vamp-plugins.org/
Vamp is a plugin API for audio analysis and feature extraction plugins written
in C or C++. Its SDK features an easy-to-use set of C++ classes for plugin
and host developers, a reference host implementation, example plugins, and
documentation. It is supported across Linux, OS/X and Windows.
Version 1.2 contains a further addition to the host extension classes
introduced in 1.1: a buffering adapter that hosts may use to avoid having to
negotiate the plugin's preferred input step and block sizes.
Plugins and hosts remain 100% binary compatible with those built using the 1.0
version of the SDK.

The 6th annual Linux Audio Conference has begun in Cologne, Germany. It
runs today through March 2nd, 2008. As with each previous year this
year's conference is streamed live over the internet in ogg theora via
icecast. The stream status page can be found at:
http://lac.linuxaudio.org
This year we are in the unique situation of having a Gigabit link
donated by CITIZENMEDIA: http://www.ist-citizenmedia.org/ They have
asked us to use up as much of their bandwidth as we can so they can see
how well the link performs. Please forward this information widely so
we can help them out.
This year the core team, Joern Nettingsmeier and myself, are recruiting
volunteers to spread the workload. To that end we have set up a mailing
list and irc channel to coordinate our efforts. If you are here in
Cologne for the conference please consider joining us. If you are not
coming, please enjoy the fruits of our labors by watching the streams
and participating via irc.
stream team mailing list: http://zhevny.com/mailman/listinfo/lac-streams
general conference chat: #lac2008 on irc.freenode.net
stream team tech talk: #lac2008-tech on irc.freenode.net
Thanks,
LAC streamteam
