Press Release - 64 Studio 1.4.0 'Ariadne' released!

by Daniel James

The Internet, 22nd May, 2007 64 Studio is a GNU/Linux distribution tailor-made for digital content creation, including audio, video, graphics and publishing tools. A remix of Debian testing, it comes in both AMD64/Intel64 and 32-bit flavours, to run on nearly all PC hardware. Our latest development version (1.4.0) is the first release candidate for the forthcoming 64 Studio 2.0, which will retain compatibility with Debian Etch to create a long-lived and stable creative desktop. Known bugs in 1.4.0 include: * Ktoon requires rebuilding with an old version of Qt. Without this, it will crash on start-up * Inkscape cannot print unless the cupsys-bsd package is installed * Hydrogen crashes if the user activates an empty instrument channel This release is named after the song by Ian Carr's Nucleus on their 1973 album Labyrinth, featuring the vocal talents of the great Norma Winstone. Please note that if you want a stable install of 64 Studio, you should stick to version 1.0 for now, as that release has been more thoroughly tested. The changelog is available here: http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/ChangeLog-1.4.0 and DVD-R ISO images for amd64 and i386 here: http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_1.4.0_amd64.iso (770MB) http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_1.4.0_i386.iso (739MB) 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 apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, or pressing the 'Mark all upgrades' then 'Apply' buttons in the Synaptic package manager. To avoid system breakage, please comment out or uncheck any third-party repositories (for example an official Debian one) first, as these might interfere with the upgrade procedure. Installation The DVD image will install Debian with X.org, the Gnome 2.14 desktop, Linux kernel 2.6.19 with realtime preemption patches (supporting both single-core and SMP systems) and a selection of creative applications, as well as the internet and office tools a creative user is likely to need for their daily work. Adding favourite packages from Debian is as easy as apt-get, or a few clicks in Synaptic. Please note that these releases are free software, and come with no warranty. However, the software does actually install and run on the project's dual processor Opteron, dual core Athlon 64 and single core Turion test hardware, and is already in daily use by many of the project's testers. The 32-bit version has been tested on a variety of older PC hardware, including a Via C3 and a dual Pentium Pro, but the project suggests a faster processor and at least 512MB RAM to take full advantage of the distribution's features. If you would like to send feedback or make a suggestion for improvement, please subscribe to the 64studio-devel mailing list: http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-devel For other communication, please have a look at the contacts page on http://www.64studio.com/ or see the Frequently Asked Questions page. Community and business model Developers and users who are interested in getting involved with the 64 Studio project are most welcome. The aim of the project is to create a distribution with full (but completely optional) commercial support, which will generate revenue to pay free software developers. The 64 Studio Ltd. company, which supports the free software project, is also producing custom distributions for commercial partners with Linux-based audio products. Press contacts 64 Studio project director Daniel James and lead developer Free Ekanayaka are available for interview by email or phone. Please contact daniel at 64studio dot com for any enquiries. A screenshot of the distribution is available at http://64studio.com/ ends

Jackmixdesk pre 0.3

by audio-mobster

I submitted new stuff to svn. The nasty bug that maximum volume wasn't reachable after moving the slider is gone. Made it useless. Didn't see that... The interface is prepared for knob resizing. If you use phat svn sources change the KNOB_SIZE in mixdesk_gtk.c to maybe 32. You'll also get scroll support. And a block that keeps the knob from flipping between min and max. Next hopefully changes to phat will reduce the interface memory usage to about 2-3MB. Regards Uli Please let me hear about bugs, if you like the app or your appetite.

PHASEX-0.10.2

by William Weston

The [P]hase [H]armonic [A]dvanced [S]ynthesis [EX]periment, version 0.10.2 is ready for download (source tarball and FC6 RPMs) at: http://sysex.net/phasex/ This release contains many fixes, most notably better support for older GTK versions. PHASEX now works with GTK2 versions as low as 2.4.x, which should help most of the build issues on older distros. Here's everything from the Changelog for this release: * Fixed typos and omissions in parameter help file. * Improved error handling and reporting in jack.c. * Fixed JACK thread shutdown. * Added Pete Shorthose's patch for saving memory with a single knob anim. * Added Lars Luthman's patch for improper style handling in gtkknob.c. * Fixed knob centering on middle click drag events. * Cleaned up style and whitespace in gtkknob.c, added boilerplate. * Added current midimap file to saved settings. * Fixed build and runtime problems with GTK versions 2.4 to 2.8 * Fixed invalid setting of patch modified flag on startup. * Updated error message for unhandled ALSA MIDI errors. * Fixed passing of debug flags in configure.ac. * Fixed detection of functions in libm. * Added install of phasex.desktop to Makefile.am. * Fixed uninitiailized varibable warnings in midi.c. * Fixed missed internal update on boolean parameters first switching to zero. * Removed dead update_widget_val() in callback.c. * Disabled engine side of audio ringbuffer locking (easier on JACK). * Changed name of ALSA MIDI sequencer input port for readability. * Added project roadmap. Special thanks go to Pete Shorthose and Lars Luthman for your patches to the gtkknob code, and to the rest of you for offering incredible feedback, especially on the build issues and ALSA/JACK startup issues. Cheers! --ww -- /* William Weston <weston(a)sysex.net> */
