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
hexter is written by Sean Bolton, and copyright (c)2007 under
the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later.
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

Hi all,
After a while of recovering and figuring out the details on how to do this,
we have now set up a little form online for you to order LAC'07 t-shirts.
The t-shirts will have the same quality as the t-shirts you have seen the
organisers wear, throughout the LAC in Berlin.
This is a one-time offer only, and be sure to put in your orders soon, as the
offer will only stand up until the 16th of April.
We want to have the payment in advance, as we need to pay the cost of
printing, packaging and postage.
Please use the link on: http://www.lac.tu-berlin.de to go to the form, get
more detailed information and order your shirts!
sincerely,
Marije
Hello again,
Everything seems settled. The archives from music.columbia.edu are
merged and new messages seem to be appended on the old archives.
What's left ?
- merging the pre-columbia era archives (I'll contact Fernando who
seems to have the best copy of it)
- changing the list information on gmane and also merging archives
here once we have it all packed on our server.
- Also changing the default style of the mailman site so it fits the
style of the rest of linuxaudio.org
All of the remaining operation should be transparent to you, except
for gmane users who will need a little patience.

Long overdue but better late than never:
QjackCtl, the good old Qt GUI interface to JAVK Audio Connection Kit is
back on a new latest dot releasse.
As read from the changelog:
- Fixed default settings for the freebob backend (JACK >= 0.103.0).
- CPU Load status label now says correctly DSP Load.
- The most recently used patchbay definitions can now be correctly
selected in round-robin fashion from its drop-down list widget.
- Avoid mixing JACK MIDI ports with regular audio ports on the
Connections and Patchbay widgets; strictly list only audio ports.
- Added 192k sample rate to setup settings drop down list (as kindly
reminded by Klaus Zimmermann, thanks).
- Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, which were
causing some sticky size behavior on some window managers.
Enjoy.

JackMix, the ultimate mixer app for jack hits another milestone:
"Sliders vs. Knobs"
From the "programming during Linux-Audio-Conference"-depth. comes the
next release of JackMix.
Whats new since 0.2?
Inspired by a lot of talking during LAC I have redone the sliders.
They still look kind of similar to some vu-meters but I think it isn't
that bad anymore.
But there are new knobs in this version too. They did get positive
feedback during the conference. :-)
The knobs from 0.2 didn't seem to scale well. At least not from the
usability point.
The biggest change is that version 0.3 saves the own state to
xml-files which can be read again later. Also adding a filename on the
commandline opens that file on startup. This enables version 0.4 to
have lash-support.
And there is a new interface so backend can interact with the gui in a
better way. The main effect now is that if jackd is not running its
not the jackmix mainwindow that is complaining but the backend popping
up a message.
Visit http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/?q=node/568 to find more. See
http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/?q=JackMix%3Ascreenshots for
screenshots or just download the package from
http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/files/downloads/jackmix/jackmix-0.3.tar.gz
Have a nice weekend,
Arnold

Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich
verhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner und
einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.

Pure Data Spring School 2007
With Frank Barknecht and Chun Lee
MAY 14th-25th 2007 - BOOK NOW!
-
GOTO10 at CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTS (CCA), GLASGOW
A two weeks boot camp dedicated to free software tools for audio-visual
art and performance.
-
Pure Data is a free and open source real-time graphical programming
environment used by artists to create a range of visual arts, theatre,
dance, audio, installation, performance and media art works.
Pure Data is ideal for those looking to integrate technology into their
work for the first time, or advanced media artists looking to explore
new tools and new ways to combine them in a unified environment. It is
easy to use Pure Data to create interactive environments, link
animations and sound, control hardware and electronics, stream audio,
generate real time visuals and develop interfaces for other programs.
In this intensive two week course, participants will learn Pure Data
from scratch and explore in detail some of its most exciting extensions.
Participants will discover real time sound design, audiovisual
techniques, physical modelling and pure:dyne, a specialised version of
Linux operating system for live audio-visual work. All software used is
available for free, if you bring your own computer you can have copies
installed on it. A number of pre-installed computers will also be
available for use in the workshop.
The software is available for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows operating
systems. Support on installing and using the software for Linux and OSX
users will be available, but please note we cannot provide support for
Windows users in this workshop.
-
The Pure Data Spring School 2007 is brought to you by GOTO10, CCA and
OpenLab Glasgow. The tutors are Frank Barknecht, and Chun Lee, two
experienced artists who work closely with Pure Data in live performance
projects and who have also contributed to the development of the
software itself.
The project is supported by Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow, the
Goethe Institute, Glasgow School of Art, and the Electron Club.
