I've recently made available a little project of mine called LoopCenter. It is a live-looping tool with a functionality very similar to the Boss LoopStation pedal. I use it mainly as a improvisation practice tool, but it could certainly be used for more compositionally-oriented stuff. Basically, you can set a tempo, and easily record and overdub small, measurized segments of audio, and then loop them. It is similar to SooperLooper (an excellent piece of software that I found only after making LoopCenter!), but pared-down, and perhaps easier to use. It runs with JACK. Check it out at: http://loopcenter.sourceforge.net Thanks! -Nick Choly

[ANN] New AlsaPlayer releases

by Dominique Michel

AlsaPlayer license is changed to GPL-v3. In consequence, all the AlsaPlayer related packages are updated. AlsaPlayer is a new type of PCM player. It is heavily multi-threaded and tries to excercise the ALSA library and driver quite a bit. It has some very interesting features unique to Linux/Unix players. ##################################### AlsaPlayer-0.99.80-rc2 is the new GTK2 release of this versatile audio player. A lot of debugging and improvements has been made on the GTK2 interface (and under the surface too). The GTK1 interface was removed in the process. GTK2 is now fully internationalized and a few languages are provided. Extended header support in mp3 file is added, so the console will not complain anymore about this, and the user's experience is improved. Every user is encouraged to upgrade AlsaPlayer and help with development, bug reports, feature requests, translations... We need your help with a few things: * Bug reports * Feature requests * Artwork contributions * Translation for more languages and improvement of the existing ones. ************************************* FftSope-1.0.6 FftScope is a nice visualization plugin for AlsaPlayer. It is now under GPL-v3 and the GTK1 interface is removed from the package. The GTK2 interface provide the same level of functionality as before. ********************************* python-alsaplayer-0.3.1 These are python bindings for the AlsaPlayer library. The intent is to provide a set of bindings that closely mirror the C library, leaving more complex functionality for purely python modules. This release update the license to GPL-v3 or later. ************************************ This is the initial release of this midi input plugin for alsaplayer. It is derived from Tuukka Toivonen's TiMidity and reflects the work of a number of other people (see AUTHORS). Compile and install it in alsaplayer's input/ plugin directory, install a soundfont, then you can play midi files with alsaplayer. #################################### I hope you will enjoy those releases and AlsaPlayer's very nice GTK2 interface! -- Dominique Michel -- N.B.: Tous les emails que je reçois sont filtrés par spamassassin avant de me parvenir.

[ANN] QjackCtl 0.3.0 (unstable-qt4) has been released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone, I am humbly proud to announce that yet another one of my linux-audio `cutie-suite` application has bitten the Qt4 dust. Yes, it's time for QjackCtl 0.3.0 (unstable-qt4) to be released, fresh from the CVS oven (hmmm... this makes it the second oxymoron on one post; gotta fix this :) Although the ChageLog doesn't go into many details, there were many subtle bugs fixed but plenty as more were blindly introduced, as always. I count on your eyeballs to make them shallow ;) So it was: - Qt4 migration was complete. Care must be taken with this new configuration file and location: this release starts a new one from scratch and won't reuse any of the previous existing ones, although cut and paste might help if you know what you're doing :) - On a last-minute addition, the "firewire" audio backend driver option has been also included, supporting the ffado.org project which is evolving where "freebob" is leaving (thanks to Klaus Zimmermann for this one). The usual place where the new source tarball can be grabbed: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Cheers && Enjoy, -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

by Tom Szilagyi

The authors are proud to announce the release of Aqualung 0.9beta8. Aqualung is an advanced music player originally targeted at GNU/Linux, today also running on other operating systems such as FreeBSD and MS Windows. We are striving to create one of the finest music players available, with respect to sound quality, stability, features and ease of use. This release is the latest in a series of beta releases on our way to the future stable release of Aqualung 1.0, which is anticipated to be released at the end of this year. The current release adds support for internet radio and tabbed playlists, also containing several smaller improvements and important bugfixes. The ChangeLog for this release is listed below. Homepage: http://aqualung.sf.net Enjoy, Tom 2007-07-07 Tom Szilagyi <tszilagyi at users dot sourceforge dot net> * Aqualung 0.9beta8 http://aqualung.sf.net This is a major release bringing significant new functionality and many important fixes. All users are encouraged to upgrade.

First release candidate for 64 Studio 2.0 - "Safe as Milk"

by Daniel James

64 Studio develops a distribution of native free software for digital content creation on x86_64 hardware. It's based on the pure 64 port of Debian GNU/Linux, but with a specialised package selection and lots of other tweaks. We also produce custom versions for our OEM partners, and a 32-bit edition for legacy PC hardware. We are glad to announce that 64 Studio 2.0-rc1 has been released. The codename for this release is shamelessly lifted from the second track on Strictly Personal, the second album by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band. Or the original title of the band's first album, whatever you prefer :-) Please note that is still a testing release, so if you want to stick to the stable version of 64 Studio just use the 1.0 installer. However we think this release is in pretty good shape, and expect to release 2.0-final later this month. The changelog is available here: http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/ChangeLog-2.0-rc1 and ISO images for amd64 and i386 here: http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_2.0-rc1_amd64.iso http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_2.0-rc1_i386.iso You can also upgrade from a 1.0 install, or from previous testing releases, using our testing APT repository: deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/testing 64studio main and running the 64studio-upgrade script, or clicking the 'Mark all upgrades' button in the Synaptic package manager. To avoid system breakage, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU COMMENT OUT ANY OTHER APT REPOSITORIES (for example Debian ones), as they might interfere with the upgrade procedure. Happy testing!

[ANN] Qsynth 0.3.0 (unstable-qt4) has been released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone, Qsynth 0.3.0 is now out for you to try and guess what? This marks the point of no return to the aging Qt3 framework. Yes, Qt4 migration was complete. Hints from the change-log might be shallow, but nevertheless: - Qt4 migration has comenced and is now complete. Care must be taken with this new configuration file and location: this release starts a new one from scratch and won't reuse any of the previous existing ones, although cut and paste might help if you know what you'll be doing :) - Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps; application desktop entry file is now included in installation; spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant; initial debianization. - Default font option names were adjusted to "Sans Serif" and "Monospace", wherever available. - The "keep child windows always on top" option is not set as default anymore, because window focus behavior gets tricky on some desktop environments (eg. Mac OS X, Gnome). - Autoconf (configure) scripting gets an update. Good grief. All this is rteadily available from the usual place: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qsynth Cheers && Enjoy & -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

[ANN] QjackCtl 0.2.23 released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone, Not much to say, but an apologise: QjackCtl 0.2.23 has been released and is the one first ever introducing explicit JACK MIDI support (JACK >= 0.107.0). The version minor number did not bump as promised. Fact is I'm making that reservation for the coming and ever nearer Qt4 migration. So near that it will crash land around now sooner than after ;) The change-log says all the lesser bits too: - JACK MIDI support is now being introduced. Connections window now has a brand new MIDI tab, the older being renamed to ALSA, as for the ALSA/MIDI sequencer conveniency. The server settings now include the MIDI driver setup option (ALSA backend only). - Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps; application desktop entry file is now included in installation; spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant; initial debianization. - Invalidation of the JACK client handle is now forced right on jack_shutdown notification, preventing a most probable fatal crash due to jack_deactivate and/or jack_client_close being called after the jack_watchdog kicks in. - Default font option names were adjusted to "Sans Serif" and "Monospace", wherever available. - The "keep child windows always on top" option is not set as default anymore, because window focus behavior gets tricky on some desktop environments (eg. Mac OS X, Gnome). - Autoconf (configure) scripting gets an update. Of course, official source tarball is made available from the project site: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Enjoy, as always :) -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org
