Submit your review and win a year's technical support on 64 Studio!

by Daniel James

To celebrate the second stable release of the 64 Studio creative free software distribution, the 64 Studio Ltd. company is giving away a technical support package worth US $240. The contest is being held in association with TuxDistro.com, the site which hosts torrents for 64 Studio and many other GNU/Linux distributions. To enter this contest, all you have to do is download 64 Studio (either 64-bit or 32-bit), try it on your own computer, and write up your experiences. We're looking for the most insightful review, so just writing "64 Studio rocks!" will not win you the prize :-) The install images for 64 Studio 2.0 can be found here: http://www.tuxdistro.com/browse.php?cat=16 The install image is up to 800MB in size and therefore requires a DVD-R. If you do not have access to a DVD burner, we recommend that you try the new 64 Studio 2.0 live CD, also available via the Tux Distro link above. We strongly recommend upgrading to a DVD burner, if only to distribute and back up the multimedia projects that you will soon be able to create in 64 Studio. If you cannot use BitTorrent due to restrictions on your local network, try the download mirrors listed at http://www.64studio.com/download Please send your reviews by email to contest at 64studio dot com, by 21st September 2007.

PHASEX-0.11.1

by William Weston

PHASEX-0.11.1 contains fixes for the segfault issues some users have seen with version 0.11.0. Special thanks goes to Adam Sampson for tracking this down, and to the rest of you who sent in bug reports. Upgrading to 0.11.1 is recommended for all users, since it appears that this bug will corrupt memory used by the synth engine even if it doesn't trigger a segfault. As usual, source tarballs and FC6 RPMs (src, i386, i686, and athlon) are available at: http://sysex.net/phasex Thank you for your continued support. Here's to happy music-making under Linux! Cheers, --ww -- /* William Weston <weston(a)sysex.net> */

[ANN] Ecasound 2.4.6 released

by Kai Vehmanen

Hello all, Ecasound 2.4.6 has been released! Releases notes follow: 1. Summary of changes --------------------- Ability to specify a custom configuration resource file has been added. Several long-standing bugs have been fixed. The licensing of rubyecasound has been changed. 2. What is Ecasound? -------------------- Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package. Primary platform for running Ecasound is GNU/Linux. Ecasound can also be run on many UNIX-derived systems such as FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris. Limited support for Windows is available through Cygwin. Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed under the LGPL. 3. Changes since last release ----------------------------- * Ability to specify a custom resource file has been added. This allows to use different settings for different sessions, without having to modify system wide, nor user's default, settings. Additionally, by specifying a null resource file, accesses to global and user resource files can be disabled. This can be done with the '-R' ecasound option and 'resource-file' interactive mode command (see ecasound (1) and ecasoundrc (5) man pages). * License of rubyecasound, Ruby implementaion of the Ecasound Control Interface (ECI), has been changed from GPL to LGPL. This aligns rubyecasound with other ECI implementations. * Fixes to many long-standing bugs. See the full change list for details. Full list of changes is available at: - http://www.eca.cx/ecasound/history.php 4. Interface and configuration file changes ------------------------------------------- None in this release. 5. Contributors to this release ------------------------------- Patches - Accepted code, documentation and build system changes * Martin Michlmayr (1) Header inclusion errors reported by GCC 4.3 * Junichi Uekawa (1) Incorrect page numbers in TOC of the programmer's and user's guides Bug Hunting - Reports that led to bugfixes (items closed) * Joe Planisky (1) Bug in time crop gate (-gc). * Rémi Rouaud (1) Parsing bugs triggered by localized LADSPA plugins * Aaron Heller and Etienne Deleflie (1) Chainsetups with loop devices would run infinitely Feature suggestions - Ideas that led to new features (items) * Klaus Schulz and Keith Creasy (1) Ability to specify a custom ecasound resource file 6.

[ANN] Mammut V0.60 and Snd-ls V0.9.8.1_beta

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

Mammut 0.60 =========== Mammut will FFT your sound in one single gigantic analysis (no windows). These spectral data, where the development in time is incorporated in mysterious ways, may then be transformed by different algorithms prior to resynthesis. An interesting aspect of Mammut is its completely non-intuitive sound transformation approach. *Homepage: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/doc/mammut/ *Screenshot: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/doc/mammut/mammut.png Changes 0.59 -> 0.60 -Updated source to work with Juce 1.44. (later or earlier versions of juce might not work with this version of mammut) -Fixed a couple of ugly bugs in the progress bar code. -Set moving camera to be off by default. Moving camera seems to stall mammut when using newer juce's. :-( Snd-ls v0.9.8.1_beta ==================== Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor 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. (Its named beta, because it hasn't been tested that much. But I think it should work very well. However, a new non-beta version is going to be released quite soon with some additional fixes.) Changes 0.9.7.12 -> 0.9.8.1_beta -Fixed bug that caused snd to fail starting if no previously used soundfile was opened during startup. -Updated Snd from 8.4/12.9.2006 to 9.3/30.7.2007. Many important fixes. -Another attempt at fixing the rt_readin_tag startup bug. Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/snd/

by Nedko Arnaudov

This brings plugin in sync with latest lv2 (changed uri, double srate, header) LV2 Simple Sine Generator is very simple plugin, generating sine when feed with notes. It should load in any host supporting midi port LV2 extension, i.e. elven, ingen, lv2_jack_host and zynjacku. Plugin should be usable for testing basic synth functionality and as simple example synth plugin to start with if you want to code your own LV2 synth plugin. Download it from here: http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/ssg/ The new tarball is ssg-20070808.tar.bz2 -- Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: DE1716B0>

PHASEX-0.11.0 released

by William Weston

Version 0.11.0 of the [P]hase [H]armonic [A]dvanced [S]ynthesis [EX]periment is ready for download (source tarball and FC6 RPMs) at: http://sysex.net/phasex/ This release contains many fixes and improvements and is highly recommended for all PHASEX users. Here's a brief list (see the ChangeLog for more details): Engine fixes: Filters and oscillator bandlimiting are now properly tuned (taking into account filter oversampling) and work as documented. Calculations for lookup tables are more accurate. The envelope curve has been improved and sounds a lot more natural. Additional bugfixes are found in the ALSA MIDI startup and JACK shutdown code. Engine optimizations: A few simple optimizations have been worked out, with an average of about 30% CPU cycle reduction per voice, and about 30MB of memory overall. For custom builds, the engine can easily be fine-tuned in phasex.h, and the --enable-arch= configure option supports all x86 CPU types supported by gcc-4.1.2. Improved patch bank: The entire bank is preloaded into memory. There is now support for patches in alternate directories. The memory modes have been reworked (and finally documented in the runtime help system). Multiple patches from a directory may now be loaded into the patch bank at once. GUI updates: Special thanks goes out to Pete Shorthose for providing the initial backing store code and some pearls of GTK wisdom to make window redrawing and tab switching faster and smoother. For those of you who haven't done so already, now would be a good time to enable backing store in your X server. Knob and control updates: Scroll wheel support has been added to the knobs and alternate controls. Middle-click centering of knobs is more responsive. The cumbersome combobox lists have been changed to detent knobs with clickable value labels. Parameter locking: Parameters can now be locked down to their current values, effectively blocking out program changes, patch loads, and MIDI controller messages on a per-parameter basis. New settings: The base A4 tuning frequency and backing store can now be set in the preferences dialog. Cheers! --ww -- /* William Weston <weston(a)sysex.net> */
