After several months without a stable release but lots of development
activity, we are pleased to announce CLAM 0.95
CLAM (http://clam.iua.upf.edu) is a C++ framework for doing research and
app development in audio and music. It comes with a set of applications
ready-to-use.
Most important in this release is NetworkEditor 0.4, with a radically
reworked UI based on Qt4.2, lots of work on stability and usability, and
new visual-prototyping features.
You can visually prototype standalone apps (or audio plugins):
Edit audio networks with NetworkEditor, then edit its UI using Qt Designer
and CLAM widgets plugins. Finally, Prototyper let you run the audio network
with its UI.
This is better shown in this quick tutorial:
http://iua-share.upf.es/wikis/clam/index.php/Network_Editor_tutorial
This release comes with many new processings, mostly spectral
transformations.
But we want to highlight the tonal-analysis which does chords identification
at real-time, and its related visualizations. This code is based on the
work done by researchers at Queen Mary University (London) and Universitat
Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). More credits are in the About box.
These and many other improvements can be found in the ChangeLog:
http://clam.iua.upf.edu/ChangeLog.txt
This release brings new packages for Linux (Debian sid, Ubuntu edgy) and
Windows installers.
In Linux, you can simply add new sources to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://clam.iua.upf.edu/download/linux-debian-sid ./
deb http://clam.iua.upf.edu/download/linux-ubuntu-edgly ./
Both Linux and Windows comes with desktop integration and several examples
ready to use. Mac OSX packages will be catching up next weeks.
Bug reports and any feedback is very welcomed (and needed).
The CLAM team

hi all,
(sorry for cross-posting)
i'd like to announce the first release of pnpd, that's actually usable
for audio synthesis. as i was able to use it in a concert last week, i
consider it as reasonably stable, however, it's still in an early stage
of development.
pnpd is a new computer music system. it's based on a dataflow syntax,
that is closely related to pd or max/msp, although it introduces some
new concepts. at the moment, it doesn't contain a graphic user
interface, but a text-based patcher language. it can be controlled via
osc and support audio i/o via portaudio, the dsp backend is highly
optimized for performance, especially for cpus supporting sse
instructions.
at the moment, it's not documented very well, however, there are a few
test patches to describe the patcher language. the basic procedure is
writing a patcher file, compiling it into the xml file for pnpd an
loading that into the command line interpreter. it's still alpha
software, but it's important that it's getting used to find
bugs/problems.

https://tim.klingt.org/pnpd/community/pnpd-dev-list
tarball:
https://tim.klingt.org/pnpd/download/releases/pnpd-0.00.2.tar.bz2
atm, it's only tested under linux, but it shouldn't be hard, to port it
to windos or osx.
cheers ... tim

Dear all,
this is the second call for papers for the 5th Linux Audio Developers
Conference (LAC2007). This is a reminder since some people might not
have received the last call or might just have forgotten about the
deadlines by now (08 Jan 2007 : Deadline for submission of papers,
worshops, tutorials, demos, hands on demos and music).
The conference is organized by the TU-Berlin in cooperation with people
of the Linux Audio Developers mailing list, the music festival
Inventionen 2007 and the Humboldt University of Berlin.
The LAC2007 is taking place at the TU-Berlin, Germany from the 22nd -
25th of March 2007.
We have introduced some new tracks. Besides the category for papers,
demos and workshops, calls for tutorials and hands on demos have been
added. The tutorials aim is to give new (potential) users an overview of
the possibilities of Linux Audio Software and how to get started.
The LAC2007 provides a computer pool (LA Pool) where developers can give
an introduction to their software and where participants can try out
Linux Audio Software during the conference. This has been combined in
the call hands on demos.
Since the TU-Berlin is installing a new Wave Field Synthesis (WFS)
system the call for music has been extended by a call for compositions
for this system. Music that can be used for radio airplay can be
submitted, and will after acceptance by the Campusradio of the TU
Berlin, be played during the conference.
More detailed Information can be found in the 'Call for Papers' attached
to this email or on the website at:
www.lac.tu-berlin.de
We are looking forward to many interesting submissions for the Linux
Audio Conference 2007 and hope to see you in Berlin in 2007!
Please feel free to forward this email to anybody who is interested.
On behalf of the LAC2007 organisation team,
Marije Baalman and Simon Schampijer
On behalf of the Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the
immediate release of Rivendell v0.9.79. Rivendell is a full-featured radio
automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It
is available under the GNU General Public License. From the NEWS file:
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
Pausing SoundPanel Buttons -- It is now possible to configure
RDAirPlay so that touching a playing SoundPanel button causes the
playout to pause rather than stop. This is enabled by checking the
'Enable Button Pausing' checkbox in
RDAdmin->ManageHosts->RDAirPlay.
Bugfixes -- Fixed a database schema problem that was causing Pre-
and Post-Import lists in RDLogManager to appear empty when editing
events.
See the ChangeLog for further details.
Library Versions:
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.4 and
librhpi-0.94.7 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of
the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing:
rpm -q libradio
rpm -q librhpi
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 128, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after
upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to
be applied.
Further information, screenshots and download links are available at:
http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/
Cheers!

Quite a while ago I developed some python interfaces to the less
realtime critical components of the ALSA library, including most of the
MIDI and mixer interfaces.
I also developed an application in Python that can bind ALSA mixer
elements to MIDI CC messages. It has no GUI by design, and can send
feedback as CC messages when the mixer state changes (useful if you have
a MIDI control surface with motorized faders like the BCF2000).
I had intended to put some polish on the thing and then announce it, but
that was about a year ago and it hasn't happened, so I now announce the
project at <http://bitglue.com/pyalsa>.
This is for the brave ones who like to try new things!
I've been playing a bit getting MMA to auto-generate melodies. A few
discussions with one enthusiastic user and some false starts later, I've
come up with the idea of having a new track I've called an ARIA. Using
pattern definitions, much like those used in other MMA tracks, you set a
framework for MMA to generate a melody over a given set of chord changes.
Honestly, this will never put a real composer out of business ... but it
is fun.
I've put up a skeleton version of mma-1.0-b up on
http://www.mellowood.ca/mma/
Please download and give it a try. The package really does assume you
know how to install things on your own, no installer.
Shout if problems. And, do let me know what you think. Either via
private email or on our discussion board:

This is a bugfix version of Rivendell. Issues addressed include the
following:
Broken PLAY Transitions -- Fixes random hangs and log stopdowns
between events with PLAY transition type.
Audio Importation Issues -- Fixes various issues with autotrimming
and level normalization.
RDLogManager Timed-Start Attributes -- Fixes a problem where an
event would fail receive a Hard Time 'Start Immediately' attribute
if the Pre-Import Carts list was empty.

xjadeo-0.4.0-rc1 - X Jack Video Monitor
http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/
Xjadeo is a simple movie player that synchronizes video to an external
time source such as jack transport. It is intended to aid sound
composition to a video clip.
This is a rewrite of the previous 0.1 release and a
conclusion of the ongoing development during the last year.
New Features include
* displays: Xv, x11+imlib2
* fullscreen and letterbox video
* improved video file reading via ffmpeg
* on screen display
* configuration file
* LASH - session management
* optional GUI - qjadeo
* remote control interface
* Midi Time Clock quarterframe sync
* documentation
* OSX support (experimental)
Release Notes:
Mixing ffmepg and Xv may produce unexpected effects on some
architectures. Please report them as those are the main reason for this
release-candidate: http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/doc/ar01s03.html#problems
Although there are many new Features, only the on-screen-display might
have an impact on the perfomance of xjadeo. since 0.3.13 xjadeo
uses gettimeofday(3) for it's internal timekeeping. - it appears that
using clock(3) was a major-bug in the original xjadeo code, though not
harmful.
The default xjadeo configuration is to run with a low profile:
Additional Features need to be enabled explicitly (LASH is an
exception). Performance highly depends on the Codec and geometry of the
video file: the -K, -k arguments allow to seek many file formats - but
is intended only for preview!
http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/doc/ar01s03.html#video_formats
There are open ends in osX support: This version includes workarounds
for use with ffmpeg on PPC. , but they might not work for all versions
of ffmpeg. - Are you an intel-mac user who succeeded to run 'make test'
in the ffmpeg svn src? - give us a wink :)
http://packman.links2linux.org/package/xjadeo/ provides SuSE-RPMs for
i586 and also for x64-64bit. many thanks! We are pleasantly surprised,
since we expected serious video-Codec and xjadeo-Xv problems for 64 bit
architecture. We have not tested any of the RPMs ourselves. - imlib
display + mjpeg codec should work though.
A beta-devel debian package can be built from source and the
xjadeo.spec.in is intended for FC4 RPMs.
