[LAA] [ANN] Faust 0.9.9.1 released

by Yann Orlarey

Grame is pleased to announce the release of Faust 0.9.9.1. Faust is a functional programming language for real-time signal processing and synthesis that targets high-performance audio processing applications and plugins. The Faust compiler translates Faust programs into optimized C++ code for a variety of audio platforms : Jack, Alsa, OSS, Ladspa, VST, MaxMSP, Q, PD, SuperCollider, etc. What's new ? ------------ - Pattern Matching : introduction of pattern matching based definitions, a powerful programming technique used in many modern functional programming languages like Q, Haskell, ML, CAML, Clean, etc. - Support for QT4 applications : two new architecture files have been added to generate native QT4 applications : jack-qt.cpp and alsa-qt.cpp. Use 'make jackqt' and 'make alsaqt' in the examples folder to generate QT4 applications. - Improved GTK support : all GTK architecture files have been updated to correct the reversed vertical slider issue. - 64-bits compatibility : the Faust compiler and the generated C++ code are now fully 64-bits compatible. - Improved Max/Msp support : the compilation process has been simplified. It now directly uses gcc instead of xcode projects. It is based on Max/MSP 4.6 SDK and generates universal binary .mxo on Intel platforms. Acknowledgments --------------- We are grateful to all the contributors of this new release, with a special mention to A. Graef for the implementation of the Pattern Matching extension.

[LAA] RE: ANN: RTMix 0.76 (a.k.a. "rtmix lives on")

[LAA] ANN: RTMix 0.76 (a.k.a. "rtmix lives on")

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Well, it's been over 2 (3?) years since last release, but rtmix refuses to die ;-). Thanks solely to Robin Gareus and his heroic work in making rtmix gcc4 compliant, I am releasing rtmix version 0.76. Apart from compile error fixes (courtesy of Robin), there have been a few cosmetic tweaks, but most notably, the source is now released under a 100% GPL-compliant license. That being said, the code is still a dirty hack, the internal event cue occasionally still misbehaves (albeit only in very complex situations), and unfortunately native alsa seq is still MIA (uses old unix dev access). OTOH, the thing does work as advertised, has been used, and continues to be used in my works without a hitch. Apart from oss midi, rtmix supports networking, OSC, and other goodness making it rather practical for on-screen coordination as well as interaction between performer(s) and computer. For more info on what really rtmix is please consult the HTML documentation included with the tarball (or see online documentation info below). The tarball (5MB) comes with source, documentation (some statements in it are likely a bit outdated, so please take those parts with a grain of salt), tutorials, and precompiled binary on Ubuntu 6.10 (i686, qt3, gcc), so if you have these a simple "make install" should do it (installs in /usr/local/rtmix and binary in /usr/local/bin). For a "simon" tutorial with sounds you will also need sounds zipfile (11MB-ish) which are downloadable from the same folder (just browse the folder). To download latest RTMix click here: http://ico.bukvic.net/Linux/RTMix/rtmix-latest.tar.gz Online documentation: http://ico.bukvic.net/Linux/RTMix/RTMix-docs/ Complaints to: /dev/null Future roadmap: Rtmix in its current state is a project in a need of a total rewrite. This is primarily due to the fact that despite the fact rtmix appears to do the job in 99.9% of instances, the code is an ugly hack which makes its maintenance and perhaps more importantly expandability exponentially difficult. That being said, I am looking forward to one of the upcoming summers when I will dig into the code once again and rebuild the darn thing from the ground up the way it was meant to be all along. Until then, this version should prove an adequate substitute. Enjoy!

[LAA] [ANN] Alsaplayer 0.99.79 and fftscope 1.0.4 released

by Dominique Michel

Alsaplayer 0.99.79 ------------------ 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. This is a feature enhancement and minor bugfix release. New features: Basic keyboard navigation and loop inside a selection have been added. Bugfix: A missing include was added; this make at Alsaplayer will compile on never gcc and non gcc compilers. ChangeLog from the last release: * Updated config.guess and config.sub with latest savannah version. * Added missing include in app/CorePlayer so it will compile with never gcc and non gcc compilers. Thanks to Debian for this fix. * Applied Debian patch from Viktor Radnai and Paul Brossier. Add basic keyboard navigation (skip, pause, etc.), loop mode (looping inside a selection), pressing play button or key during playback return to the beginning of the song, speed changes one musical semitone a time using the keyboard (handy for changing the key the song is played back in). * Added keyboard shortcuts for speed +/- 1 comma (useful to tune the player when playing some musical instrument at the same time). * Updated the man page with those keyboard bindings. fftscope 1.0.4 -------------- Fftscope is a nice fft scope plugin for Alsaplayer. This release is a major bugfix release and each user is encouraged to upgrade. Alsaplayer was crashing at exit time when this scope was installed but not running. A missing test in the quit function was added. The compilation flags in Makefile.am was fixed. Enjoy those 2 new releases! --------------------------- http://www.alsaplayer.org/ http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=249 Dominique -- Dominique Michel -- N.B.: Tous les emails que je reçois sont filtrés par spamassassin avant de me parvenir.

[LAA] 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

[LAA] 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.
