I'm pleased to announce the release v0.4 of XUiDesigner
A easy to use GUI generator/designer tool to create X11 based UI's for
LV2 plugins.
Inspired by Glade and QT Designer
XUiDesigner allow to generate alternative UI's for existing LV2 plugins
which could be installed and used parallel to the existing ones.
It allow as well to create full LV2 plugin bundles from scratch, were
only the dsp part needs to be done.
With this version, it allow to generate LV2 plugin bundles from faust
(*.dsp) files. Those could be simply drop on the XUiDesigner interface
and XUiDesigner will create the UI for it. The UI could be reworked when
needed (reorder the controls, implement colours or images, . . .) . Then
the complete Bundle could be saved. All what needs to be done then is
run |make && make install| on the bundle, to get the LV2 plug into the
preferred LV2 host.
Still this is in the beta stage, so there may be come changes which are
not backward compatible, but the generated LV2 bundles are all fully
working.

Dear Colleagues and fellow Linux Audio enthusiasts,
It's been quite a few years since Linuxaudio.org consortium has maintained
an active presence beyond serving as a nexus for all things Linux audio.
Almost two decades ago when the consortium was formed by Daniel James et
al., Linux was in need of a concerted effort to improve audio on Linux, as
well as expand its visibility and adoption. Today, Linux is ubiquitous and
its audio infrastructure arguably superior to alternatives, including
commercial efforts by industry behemoths, such as Apple and Microsoft.
Likewise, the Linux audio software has been growing and maturing by leaps
and bounds, with an increasing number of commercial vendors also embracing
it as a viable platform both for studio and entertainment purposes.
Undoubtedly, we could have never reached these new and impressive levels
without this community and its commitment and energy. And as Linux audio
matured, the consortium role increasingly shifted to that of offering
community resources and historical preservation. Following a hack in 2018,
thanks to Jeremy Jongepier and Robin Gareus' help, we transitioned the
hosting away from Virginia Tech while doing our best to ensure a seamless
transition. Shortly thereafter, the world faced the COVID-19 pandemic.
So, here we are, in 2022, at what appears to be (hopefully!) the tail end
of the pandemic. Linuxaudio.org has fully embraced its primary role as an
online resource, including archiving of the Linux Audio Conference
materials, and hosting longest-running community mailing lists pertaining
to the Linux audio. With this, I believe we have arrived at the end of
consortium's first chapter. I see this as an opportunity for the community
to reflect on what we believe Linux audio needs in 2022 and onwards and how
the consortium may need to evolve to better meet these newfound
opportunities and challenges.
Just as importantly, having served as the consortium's director for almost
two decades, I believe it is time for me to step down and make room for new
leadership. If the community so desires, we may also want to use this as an
opportunity to transition away from what may be seen as a traditional form
of organizational structure and instead explore forming a committee of key
community members, each with their own specific tasks and areas of focus.
With all this in mind, I invite your feedback and input, including
(self-)nominations for service on the proposed committee and/or my
successor. The aspirational goal is to form the committee and/or select the
successor by the end of July 2022.
I sincerely look forward to your input and feedback.
Best,
Ico

Please pardon the cross-posting. My COMPEL project collaborators and I
would appreciate it if you would please distribute this email widely among
various communities whose work is rooted in computer music, starting with
composers, performers, and instrument and installation designers.
Dear all,
As part of the preparations for the Workshop on NIME Archiving
<https://nime.pubpub.org/pub/oyi0po4b> to be held on 28 June, we look for
volunteers to fill out one or more records of *artifact*s (defined broadly)
in this survey:
*https://forms.gle/A8zNrFVxs9N4aBcp9 <https://forms.gle/A8zNrFVxs9N4aBcp9>*
The idea is to check whether categories developed for the COMPEL archive
make sense from the community's perspective. We ask that you please
consider filling out the survey *before 24 June* so that we have a couple
of days to look at results before the workshop. Feel free to make entries
also if you cannot make it to the workshop!
Given that this effort may benefit the broader computer music community,
please note that *both the survey and the workshop are open to any person
who is interested in participating*, regardless whether they are registered
for the conference. Since this year NIME is an online-only conference, *the
zoom link will be forthcoming and will be shared with all survey
contributors and conference participants soon*.
The workshop will continue discussions in the community on how to best
preserve information from the NIME conferences, the NIME community, and the
computer music community at large. The workshop will follow up on threads
from the NIME publication ecosystem workshop
<https://nime2020.bcu.ac.uk/nime-publication-ecosystem-workshop/> (NIME
2020, Birmingham), ICMC 2018 paper
<https://dblp.org/rec/conf/icmc/BukvicO18.html>, SEAMUS 2018 conference
presentation, and the NIMEhub workshop
<https://www.duo.uio.no/handle/10852/50604> (NIME 2016, Brisbane). As we
rebuild the COMPEL platform to sidestep technological limitations of the
old infrastructure, the main task is to find a solution for an open,
future-oriented, engaging, and institutionally recognized archiving
solution for the activities of the community that ensures *reproducibility *of
archived artifacts. While NIME publications are archived according to the FAIR
principles <https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/>, currently no
solutions exist for archiving information about instruments/interfaces and
other hardware/software-based artifacts produced in the community. Neither
do we have a system for describing and preserving compositions/pieces,
installations, performances, and workshops. We believe that this challenge
affects the computer music community at large. The goal of this workshop
and forum discussions
<https://forum.nime.org/t/survey-and-workshop-on-nime-archiving/306> is to
propel the project forward and expand the community engagement.
Thank you for your consideration and participation. Should you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of the workshop organizers
<https://nime.pubpub.org/pub/oyi0po4b>.
Best,
Ico

ICAD 2022
Registration is Open
<https://reg.pwd.aa.ufl.edu/portal/events/reg/participantTypeSelection.do?me…>
27th International Conference on Auditory Display
Registration is Open
<https://reg.pwd.aa.ufl.edu/portal/events/reg/participantTypeSelection.do?me…>
Virtual Conference
24-27 June 2022
https://icad2022.icad.org
THEME: SAFE AND SOUND
Sound is used in a wide variety of applications to alert listeners to the
status of a person or environment. At ICAD 2022, we want to highlight
sonification work that can be used to maintain awareness in some capacity
(outside navigation, hospitals, air traffic control, etc). Papers are not
limited to this theme, as we will value and embrace all types of
submissions, including papers, posters, multimedia (videos/audios), demos,
and concert pieces
Why ICAD 2022?
ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary academic conference with relevance to
researchers, practitioners, musicians, and students interested in the
design of sounds to support tasks, improve performance, guide decisions,
augment awareness, and enhance experiences. The conference is unique in its
singular focus on auditory displays and the array of perception,
technology, and application areas that this research area encompasses. Like
its predecessors, ICAD 2022 will be a single-track conference, open to all,
with no membership or affiliation requirements.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
