[LAA] [ANN] QjackCtl 0.3.2 (unstable-qt4) released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, It must be what should be called one late "Fall cleaning": right after yesterday's Qsynth release, and before going into full-speed season compromises, I'll just let it all go as is :) That's it, the world-famous Qt GUI front-end to the incomparable JACK Audio Connection Kit is here and now, shouting for a general heads-up. Sort of ;) QjackCtl 0.3.2 (unstable-qt4) has been released! It's all in the change-log: - Patchbay port matching has been slightly extended, this time allowing for the multiple or as many-to-many connections between socket plugs, provided these are specified in proper regex form (after a patch proposed by Dave Moore, thanks). - A new option to start the program minimized when the system tray icon is enabled, is now available from Setup/Misc/Start minimized to system tray (as kindly suggested by Marc-Olivier Barre). - Regression from QSystemTrayIcon (Qt4 >= 4.2) implementation, at least on X11 environments: while the main application widget was minimized to the system-tray, closing any other top-level widget was causing the immediate and unexpected application shutdown. - Some portaudio backend settings are now being enabled, specially suited for the jackdmp flavouring. - Server mode display blinking, usually shown as the RT indicator, is now an option (Setup/Display/Blink server mode indicator when started). - Tool/child windows position and size preservation fixed. - The connections/patchbay auto-refresh option has been finally removed due to several user requests, although deprecated for quite some time now it has been the probable cause of some periodic xrun occurrences due to graph-locking in jackd (while making Geoff Beasley angry in the process:). - Messages line limit was not being checked, now honored. - Simple as it could ever be, the build executive summary report is now given on configure. - Patchbay snapshot got its socket and port ordering back. - ALSA Sequencer support is now an optional feature on setup, preventing the annoying "MIDI patchbay will be not available" warning message, ruining window placement on Linux systems where the snd-midi-seq kernel module is not loaded or not favorable (eg. OSS) at startup (by request from Jussi Laako). - Get configure to try and detect the correct qmake location and insert it the search order, so let the qt4 tools take precedence when --with-qt option is given and older qt3 ones coexist and are found located ahead in the PATH. - The connections widget is now being properly refreshed, due to some quirk in the QTreeWidget which was preventing some items, specially the expanded ones, to disappear in the void. Meanwhile, with a hand from Stephane Letz, the client/port lookup method was changed to prevent duplicated, missing entries or worse, crashes due to weird behaved windows applications. - The xrun count stats can now be reset simply by middle clicking on the systray icon or the main window's display area (thanks to patch sent by Dominic Sacre). - An improved version of the "shiny" background image was issued. The original somehow looked like two different images put together, probably most apparent on a bright TFT screen (by Dominic Sacre). - A warning is now being issued, asking whether one wants to remove a corresponding Patchbay connection, when client/ports are being disconnected over the Connections window, thus avoiding automatic reconnection annoyance due to normal active Patchbay behavior. - The infamous "Keep child windows always on top" global option is now supposed to behave a little better when disabled, layering child windows as naturally as far the window manager dictates. - Input/Output Channel setting is now allowed to be greater than 32; the special default text is now displayed, also on Input/Output Latency and Priority settings spin-boxes. - Andreas Persson just sent a patch that makes it possible to compile and run qjackctl with Qt version 4.1. Applied without hesitation, thanks. Hurry, the source tarball, as some other binary forms, might be found in the usual and official place: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Cheers && Enjoy -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

[LAA] [ANN] Qsynth 0.3.2 (unstable-qt4) is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Yes, it's about time. Much as the long due FluidSynth 1.0.8 release, really "Its about funky time!". Time also for season greetings and some gift exchange. Don't ask for a second best, here you have the finest pair of socks for the holiday ;) Qsynth 0.3.2 (unstable-qt4) is out! The official download site is, as always have been: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qsynth Straight from the change-log: - A new option to start the program minimized when the system tray icon is enabled, is now available from Setup/Misc/Start minimized to system tray. - Regression from QSystemTrayIcon (Qt4 >= 4.2) implementation, at least on X11 environments: while the main application widget was minimized to the system-tray, closing any other top-level widget was causing the immediate and unexpected application shutdown. - Minor corrections on the output peak meter scale aesthetics. - Tool/child windows position and size preservation fixed. - Orphaned MIDI device name no longer mistaken when switching between MIDI drivers on engine setup. - A bit more of precision is achieved over the output peak meters. - Messages line limit was not being checked, now honored. - Simple as it could ever be, the build executive summary report is now given on configure. - Get configure to try and detect the correct qmake location and insert it the search order, so let the qt4 tools take precedence when --with-qt option is given and older qt3 ones coexist and are found located ahead in the PATH. - The infamous "Keep child windows always on top" global option is now supposed to behave a little better when disabled, layering child windows as naturally as far the window manager dictates. - Inspired on Andreas Persson patch, while on qjackctl-devel, which made it possible to compile and run with older Qt 4.1, similar arrangements were carried out on qsynth too, without hesitation. - Main panel spin-boxes gets accelerated when stressed (Qt >= 4.2). Cheers && Enjoy, -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela

by Chris Cannam

Rubber Band is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting library and utility designed for musical applications. http://www.breakfastquay.com/rubberband/ It includes a library that supports a sample-accurate multithreaded offline mode and a real-time lock-free streaming mode; a command-line utility program; and a LADSPA pitch-shifter plugin. Rubber Band is Free Software under the GNU GPL. This small update (v1.0.1) fixes an option parsing bug and a dodgy bit of #ifdef nesting. The core code is the same as in 1.0. Chris

[LAA] [ANN] dssi-vst 0.5

by Chris Cannam

dssi-vst 0.5 released! ====================== The 0.5 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. dssi-vst is available from the download page at http://dssi.sourceforge.net/ The 0.5 release now comes with Javier Serrano Polo's VST-compatibility header, as previously distributed in LMMS. (Actually, this header was already compatible with dssi-vst -- no modifications to dssi-vst were necessary -- it's just that the header is now included in the package.) This permits it to be compiled without the official VST SDK and distributed under pure GPL. No guarantees are made as to the reliability of the results; your feedback is welcome, but please bear in mind that I will not do any development work on the compatibility header myself for legal reasons. The 0.5 release is also (finally) compatible with version 2.4r2 of the official SDK, should you wish to use it. Chris

Besides artistic criteria and technical reasons, these criteria apply for the selection: Tape pieces or pieces which are performed by the composers themselves will generally have more chances to get included. If we get more pieces than we can include in the program, composers who are attending the conference are preferred. Terms and conditions for participation can be found in the form mentioned above. This form includes among other things: I will receive no fees whether my composition is played or not. GEMA fees (in case of performance) will be paid by the organizer. The material I send to the LAC organisation team will not be returned.
