The first version of jack_nuke is released !
jack_nuke is a client for the Jack Audio Connection Kit used to
generate "unwanted" data on jack ports (both midi and audio) to test
the robustness of other jack client applications. For those who've
heard of Jack demolition, jack_nuke proposes similar functionalities
as far as audio is concerned (jack_nuke is based on its code).
The midi testing part is intended to test jack midi clients and works
for both jack current trunk API and the jack midi branch API, thanks
to come magic provided by Nedko Arnaudov.
The homepage can be found here : http://home.gna.org/jacknuke/
You can download tarballs there : http://download.gna.org/jacknuke/
Go ahead and crash-test your favorite apps !

jack_mixer is GTK (2.x) JACK audio mixer with look similar to it`s
hardware counterparts. It has lot of useful features, apart from being
able to mix multiple JACK audio streams.

* Show NaNs to user (abspeak goes red and shows NaN)
* Reset channel NaN status on abspeak reset
* Switch to autotools (prepare for JACK MIDI support)

Announcing the 20070418 release of WhySynth, a DSSI softsynth
plugin.
New since the last major release:
* Two new oscillator modes: phase distortion similar to that used
in the Casio CZ series synths, and another FM mode.
* GUI enhancements.
* Improvements to the envelope generators, making them more
responsive to realtime parameters changes.
* A few new patches.
* Some GCC 4 fixes.
Find WhySynth here:

and plugins can be found here:

Hi all,
It took us a while, but finally (and hopefully) the last updates have been
made to the LAC website.
* the full proceedings are now available for download as one PDF document.
* the links to each paper and the presentation slides[1] have been updated.
They now all point to local files on the TU server, and no longer to my
private website. If you have put direct links to papers on your website/blog
or similar, please update them to the new links, as those will stay on. I
will probably free up the space on my internet server at some point in the
future.
sincerely,
Marije
[1] ok, ok, the slides of one presentation are still missing, but I am waiting
for the author to send them to me. Should be fixed soon.
Hello all,
The Harrison booth at the National Association of Broadcasters trade
show in Las Vegas, USA, is demonstrating the 64 Studio distro in a proof
of concept mixing system. See libre software including JACK, Ardour2 and
xjadeo in action, until Thursday this week:

Hi everyone,
Today I've woke up and promptly decided to let a new official Qsynth be
released as is from CVS HEAD. No big deal as there aren't any big news
anyway :)
So be it. And there it is: Qsynth 0.2.6 is out.
As you can read from the change log, most are only nitpicking ones:
- Main panel window now keeps its previous iconic state on system tray,
on application restart (thanks to Chris Cannam for hinting this one).
- Minor optimization in peak level meters update rate. Alternate but
faster inline lroundf() function implementation is now used.
- Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, which were
causing some sticky size behavior on some window managers.
- Messages and channels window captions can now be set smaller as
tool-widgets, in effect when child windows are kept always on top.
- While on the engine setup dialog, the ALSA sequencer client identifier
is now also disabled depending on the MIDI input option setting.
- Experimental soundfont loader which prevents RAM image duplication if
more than one engine loads the same soundfont file. Server-mode is now
supported on multi-engine configurations by auto-incrementing the shell
socket listening port (both patches handed by Dave Searls, thanks).
- Engine name gets through the respective tab title when created. Fixed
engine delete button enabling on the main window.
- Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, on qsynth.spec (RPM).
- Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas).
- GPL address update.
Of course, available in the usual sites:
http://qsynth.sourceforge.nethttp://sourceforge.net/projects/qsynth
Enjoy.

Announcing a new release of the hexter DSSI plugin.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?
group_id=104230&package_id=134428
hexter is a software synthesizer that models the sound generation of
a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. It can easily load most DX7 patch bank
files, accept patch editing commands via MIDI sys-ex messages, and
recreate the sound of the DX7 with greater accuracy than any other
open-source emulation (that the author is aware of...) hexter
operates as a plugin for the Disposable Soft Synth Interface (DSSI).
No exciting new features come in version 0.6.1, just these:
* Backed out a change in version 0.6.0, where the plugin was
installed under a different name than the 0.5.x versions --
something which created headaches for distribution packagers.
* Added a backward-compatibility feature so that version 0.6.1
can be used with existing projects made using 0.5.x versions,
without changing how they sound.
More information about hexter and DSSI can be found at:
http://dssi.sourceforge.net/hexter.html

hi everyone!
finally, the last missing dumps of the Linux Audio Conference streams
have been uploaded raw and uncut to
http://lad.linuxaudio.org/events/2007_tub/
(the last few files are uploading as i type).
since the stream team was confronted with a workload so high as to cause
severe thrashing (i.e. lots of running around without getting anything
done), we have not been able to produce stream dumps in any sensible
form. hence, we need YOU to help with post-processing.
please grab some of the files you find at the address mentioned above,
and sign up to
http://www.medienwissenschaft.hu-berlin.de/lawici/index.php/Stream_post-pro…
so that people know who is working on what and will not duplicate your work.
sorry for this hassle, and thanks in advance for your efforts.
best,
jörn
