[linux-audio-announce] Latest Linuxaudio.org developments

by ico

Greetings all, Considering that the linuxaudio.org lists are currently not reaching a majority of the Linux audio community, I wanted to use this opportunity to inform you of the latest developments regarding the Linuxaudio.org. Also, for the same reason I've resorted to some cross-posting. My sincere apologies if this has caused any inconvenience. What is Linuxaudio.org? Linuxaudio.org is a non-profit consortium whose role is to support Linux as a viable digital audio workstation. Linuxaudio.org therefore aims to expose, proliferate, and disseminate artistic, as well as software and hardware development endeavors associated with the aforementioned platform. The two-year-old consortium boasts a growing membership consisting of 30+ member organizations, companies, software projects, and institutions. In its relatively brief existence, Linuxaudio.org has spearheaded a creation of the first online CD compilation of art generated using exclusively open source software in conjunction with Linux, and has sponsored Linux audio booths at several international conferences and expos. For more info please visit http://www.linuxaudio.org It is also my pleasure to use this opportunity to announce our latest members: *Ubuntu Linux represented by Mark Shuttleworth *Ubuntu Studio project (ubuntustudio.com) represented by Dana Olson *Pure-Data represented by Miller Puckette *Frinika software project (www.frinika.com) represented by Johan Salomonsen *(CCM)2 studios at the College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati represented by Dr. Mara Helmuth *Virginia Tech Music Department, represented by Prof. John Husser I would like to welcome our new members. For latest updates, users, members, as well as prospective members are encouraged to subscribe to the following list: http://lists.linuxaudio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/consortium/ We are now in an opportune moment as the Linuxaudio.org appears to be finally ready for the plan which has been proposed almost a year ago, namely to incorporate the consortium in order to begin fund-raising for the purpose of strengthening the consortium's mission and outreach. In order to bring this plan to fruition, I would first of all greatly appreciate a response from all who were/are currently subscribed to, or wish to be involved in the consortium. A number of other ideas/projects are currently in the works, including a potential move of the consortium's server to Virginia Tech where we could enjoy better bandwidth and more disk space, both of which would put us in a much better position regarding expansion and offering enhanced content. If anyone is interested in getting involved with the Web maintenance, please contact me at ico_at_linuxaudio.org. Linuxaudio.org is currently in the process of finalizing a new logo. All who are involved (or wish to be involved) in Linuxaudio.org are welcome to contribute to this project. Finally, please allow me to point out that Linuxaudio.org always welcomes new member projects, institutions, organizations, and individuals who actively contribute to the development of the Linux as a viable digital audio workstation, including artists and software projects. The membership is currently free, and even once we become incorporated and instantiate membership dues for the purpose of fund-raising, members will have an option to enroll as and/or retain their free membership. If interested, please do not hesitate to contact me. For additional info, please visit http://www.linuxaudio.org. Sincerely, Ivica Ico Bukvic, Director Linuxaudio.org

[linux-audio-announce] Address changes for MMA and bvdp

by bob van der Poel

I've upgraded my personal connections to the net from a very tired dialup connection to something a bit snappier. Nope, still no cable or dsl out here in Wynndel, BC. But, I collected a bunch of soda cans and pennies off the street and purchased a Ka-Satellite connection. Not as fast as some of you are used to, but way faster than dialup :) Anyway, MMA has moved to: http://users.xplornet.com/~bvdp/mma and my email is bvdp(a)xplornet.com Thanks. -- Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bvdp(a)xplornet.com WWW: http://users.xplornet.com/~bvdp

[linux-audio-announce] Call for help for LinuxTag2006

by Arnold Krille

Hi all, as every year the famous german LinuxTag is taking place. This year in Wiesbaden from 3. to 6. May. Yes, this is just one week after LAC2006, which has several advantages and disadvantages: + It is a good chance to come to Germany for LAC, have one or two days of holiday and then join the LA-Group at LinuxTag! + Maybe even repeat your LAC-Talk at LinuxTag? (see www.linuxtag.org for details on the Call-for-Papers but be aware that it ends January 15...) + Wiesbaden is more in the center of germany so perhaps some LA-folks from the north of germany can join us? - The new place for LinuxTag together with LAC being a week before enforce two of the main-booth-members of the last years (Christoph Eckert and Frank Neumann) to be only a visitor at LinuxTag or even less... That leaves a hole in the organisational part. :-( So here is my call: I am willing to do some work organizing a booth and a group of staff but I need YOUR help! If you are a german LA[DU]-member and have some spare time, join in! A booth at LinuxTag is a good opportunity to present Linux Audio to the people, not only to developers but more to users. The crowd is mostly industry (producers, technicians, musicians) at the weekdays and home-recording-users at the weekend. Don't be afraid, there won't be much questions about setting up drivers for consumer-cards (and If there are, we usually send them to their distributions booth :-) ). But there will be a lot people thinking about using your app in studio! So you definitly don't want to miss this chance! If I get positive answers from at least two other people by weekend, I will apply for a booth and things start rolling, so don't hesitate, check your calendar, plan for another week of holiday and join me (us?). So long and thanks for all the fish, Arnold -- visit http://dillenburg.dyndns.org/~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.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Shelljam 0.0.4 Overtones Edition! ;)

by Carlo Capocasa

Got a demo n a new release for ya! Check it out! /* http://shelljam.sourceforge.net */ Hi, thanks for reading. Your host-to-brand-new-overrated software, Carlo Capocasa, has his pleasure welcoming you to this group of pixels that mysteriously enough makes sense to you (ask a fly what he has to say of this message). Bzzzz Thought so. /* http://shelljam.sourceforge.net */ In any case, there have been program updates (touchpad controlled Saw Wave Overtones! Ohboyohboyohboy this is great! Couple it with Zyn and... MAAAAAN! This is so awsome :) And, it actually gives you more control than the purchasable hardware bug-prone heavy-to-carry performance-latency-issue knob controlled MIDI hardware out there, because you can control _two MIDI controllers with just one finger_. The world seriously needs laptops with more than one touchpad : Also, on the web site is a little bit of my famous irrevent humor as a goodie (except when you are the target), a brand new mug shot (yes, I do actually look that way, and I have been boxing but I wasn't serious enough about it for it to change my appearence), and a brand new demo of the brand new touchpad controlled overtones saw-wave goodie feature, complete with Zyn patch and S24 live recording. Of course, directly listenable in your beloved OGG Vorbis. /* http://shelljam.sourceforge.net */ Oh yeah and everything in my last smackdown release is fixed, the new MIDI system is really fantastico, and the UI is still nonexistent. DUH. It works though. And the thing looks really great in my mind... cross graphics mode user interface! All this, and of course the program pre-compiled and partly-statically-linked and hence probably readily to use, or also as spiffy simplified source text files if you so prefer, at the same location as always, -> http://shelljam.sourceforge.net Enjoy! Carlo /* http://shelljam.sourceforge.net */ /* Yeah, I really MEAN it! ;) */

[linux-audio-announce] Qsynth 0.2.5 released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, So here comes the time for another public release of the (cute) FluidSynth Qt Interface: Qsynth 0.2.5 is out! Just as one can read from the change log: - New dial-knob behavior now follows mouse pointer angular position, almost similar to old QDial, but this time avoiding that nasty and rather abrupt change on first mouse click. - By simple use of widget subclassing, the value/position of any dial knob can now be reset to its default or original position at any time, by simply pressing the mouse mid-button. These default value positions are just committed to current dial values when switching engines and/or closing the application. - Optional specification of alternate fluidsynth installation path has been added to configure command arguments (--with-fluidsynth). - After some source code tweaks, a win32 build is now possible (instructions will be provided on demand :) - Bank offset finally gets its due effect, while on the channels and channel preset selection dialogs. Regretfully, the soundfont bank offset feature has been lurking ever since its inception, but now its live and hopefully effective. - A new fancy widget has arrived, qsynthKnob, with some modifications to replace the actual *ugly* QDial widgets in the main window. This widget is based on a design by Thorsten Wilms, formerly implemented by Chris Cannam in Rosegarden, and finally adapted and brought to Qsynth by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas. Thankyou all. Available from the usual places: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qsynth Enjoy. -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org
