[linux-audio-announce] Rivendell v0.9.57

by Fred Gleason

I'm pleased to announce the release of Rivendell v0.9.57. Rivendell is a full-featured Radio Automation System that is available under the GNU Public License. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: SuSE Desktop Integration. When installing from RPM, items for the various Rivendell modules will now be added to the Panel Menu in the 'Applications' and 'System->Desktop Applet' sections. Rivendell Icons. A set of Rivendell icons at various resolutions have been added. They can be found in the package documentation directory on an RPM installation, or in 'icons/' in the sources. Report Data Management. It's now possible to manage report/ELR data independently of the log it originated from. A new user attribute, called 'Delete Report Data' configures the right to delete Report data in the Edit User dialog. Report data can be deleted either when the parent log is deleted, or by means of a new 'Delete Report Data' button in RDLogManager. Numerous Bugfixes. Including the dilly that was causing responses to Yes|No dialog boxes to be ignored. See the ChangeLog for details. Library Versions: This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.94.0 and librhpi-0.94.4 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: As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Rivendell v0.9.57 is available for download now at http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

[linux-audio-announce] Linux Audio Conference #4 (LAC2006): Call for Papers/Music etc

by Frank Neumann

Dear all, this should have come one month earlier, but such is life..anyway: This mail is to announce the calls for papers/music/etc for the 4th International Linux Audio Conference (LAC2006). See http://lac.zkm.de/2006 for more information. LAC2006 will take place 27-30 April 2006, again at the ZKM | Institute for Music and Acoustics in Karlsruhe, Germany. We have tried to simplify things a little bit since LAC2005. There are calls for papers, demos, workshops, and music. The former category BOFS has been merged with the workshops. There is no call for project notes anymore; instead we have the call for demos now. The call for posters has been discarded. We hope everybody agrees that this is an improvement and we are looking forward to many interesting submissions for LAC2006! Please feel free to forward this email to anybody who is interested. Thank you for reading! Frank Neumann and Goetz Dipper *********************************************************************** Call for Papers We invite submissions of papers addressing all areas of audio processing based on Linux and open source software. Papers can focus on technical, artistic or scientific issues and can target developers or users. This includes (but is not limited to) the following categories: * Computer Music * Music Production * Instruments * Drivers and Sound Architecture * Audio Distributions * Generic (Usage, Documentation etc.) The conference is held in english, so all papers and presentations will have to be done in english, too. Length of a paper is 4-8 pages. Papers have to include an abstract (50-100 words). The abstract will be published separately on the conference website once the paper has been accepted. Also, papers should include up to 5 keywords. In general talks should take 20-30 minutes followed by 5 minutes discussion. Please notify us if you need a special technical setup. The technical standard setup will be: * microphone (head set) * projector with XVGA input (resolution 1024x768) * stereo speaker setup with mini jack input If you are not able to bring your laptop along with you, please notify us in advance. How to submit * File format is PDF, formatted for A4 paper. Make use of the templates for paper formatting available at: http://lac.zkm.de/2006/downloads.shtml * See our check list to ensure that you do not forget to enclose all necessary information: http://lac.zkm.de/2006/submission_instructions.shtml * Send your paper and all necessary information by 8 Jan 2006 via email to this address: lac2006 at zkm dot de * You will be notified by 19 Feb 2006 whether your paper has been accepted. The reviewers may ask you to modify your paper in order to be accepted. The deadline for the final version is March 12, 2006. Important Dates 08 Jan 2006: Paper submission deadline 19 Feb 2006: Notification of acceptance 12 Mar 2006: Final version deadline 27 - 30 Apr 2006: Conference *********************************************************************** Call for Demos This is the only new category of LAC2006. You do not need to write a whole paper, but rather a short abstract only (50-100 words). This category is mainly thought for software demos. Be aware though that in case of too many submissions papers take priority over demos. See section "Call for Papers" for info on the duration of talks and the technical setup. How to submit * See our check list to ensure that you do not forget to enclose all necessary information: http://lac.zkm.de/2006/submission_instructions.shtml * Send your abstract and all necessary information by 8 Jan 2006 via email to this address: lac2006 at zkm dot de * You will be notified by 19 Feb 2006 whether your submission has been accepted. Deadline for submissions is 08 Jan 2006. *********************************************************************** Call for Workshops With respect to their content workshops do not differ from talks: Workshops can have technical focus as well as artistic or scientific focus. Workshops can be targeted to developers as well as users. See section "Call for Papers" for more info on this. The shape of the workshop is completely up to you. E.g. it can be tutorial-like ("how to write an ALSA driver/ a jack application/ a LADSPA plugin/ etc.") or it can be BOFS-like (e.g. a meeting of like-minded users and/or developers to exchange experience and knowledge about a specific topic), or it can be anything in between. Workshops can take place in seminar rooms or in a public space like the ZKM cafe. Depending on the location, attendance might be limited to ca 10 people. There is no deadline for submitting workshops. However, we strongly encourage you to submit early. It will be more likely to get a free slot and it will be easier for attendants to know about the workshop if it is published on the conference website. If you expect the attendants to prepare their laptops for your workshop (e.g. by installing some software) or if there are other requirements, please note so in your abstract. How to submit * See our check list to ensure that you do not forget to enclose all necessary information. http://lac.zkm.de/2006/submission_instructions.shtml * Send an abstract (ca. 50-100 words) and all necessary information via email to this address: lac2006 at zkm dot de * The abstract will be published on the conference website once the workshop has been accepted (not before 27 Feb 2006 though). *********************************************************************** Call for Music There will be some concerts during the conference. We are looking for music that has been produced completely or mostly under Linux and/or with open source software: * "Serious" compositions, to be played in a concert-like context * Electronica, Chill-Out, Ambient etc., to be played in a less formal, "party-like" context. Additionally you are welcome to give a talk about your piece. We encourage you especially to show how you made the piece using open source software. Please send a short abstract (ca. 50-100 words) if you want to give a talk. If you want to participate, send your composition(s) to this address: LAC2006 - Call for Music ZKM | Institut fuer Musik und Akustik Lorenzstr. 19 D-76135 Karlsruhe Germany Make use of one of the following media formats: * Media: Audio-CD, DVD or CD-ROM * File formats: aiff or wav * Channels: mono, stereo or multi-channel * Samplerate: 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz * Resolution: 16 or 24 bit Include the following items with your submission (in English): * Requirements (speaker setup, instruments etc.) * A filled-out and signed printout of the form available here: http://lac.zkm.de/2006/downloads.shtml For the printed programme and to be published online and on the conference CD, in continuous text (no table or list please): * A short commentary on the composition(s) (each ca. 150 words) * A short Curriculum Vitae (ca. 100 words) Deadline for submissions is 08 Jan 2006. A jury will select the compositions that will be performed/played. Furthermore, the jury will give out three prices to participants to contribute to their travel expenses. Besides artistic criteria and technical reasons, these criteria apply for the selection: * Tape pieces or pieces which are performed by the composer herself will generally have more chances to get included. * If we get more pieces than we can include in the programme, composers who are attending the conference are preferred. Terms and conditions for participation can be found in the form mentioned above. This form includes among other things: * I will receive no fees whether my composition is played or not. * GEMA fees (in case of performance) will be paid by ZKM. * The material I send to ZKM will not be returned. Additionally to this Call for Music, there will be an open stage called "Plug & Chill - The Linux Jam Night" at Saturday night (29 Apr 2006), where attendents of the conference are invited to perform their pieces in a less "official" context. There is no deadline for this, so people can decide during the conference if they want to participate. However if you already know that you want to participate do not hesitate to inform us. Send us an email to lac2006 at zkm dot de and include a description of your equipment and a short characterisation of your music (keywords only). During the conference it is possible to register at the info desk. Note that there is a time limit for "Plug & Chill". If we have received too many registrations already you might not get a slot. Contributions to "Plug & Chill" should not exceed 10 min. There will be a room at ZKM where people can meet during the conference and rehearse for "Plug & Chill". ***********************************************************************

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Sineshaper 0.4.0

by Lars Luthman

The Sineshaper is a monophonic DSSI synth. This is the first release. Source tarball, screenshot and Vorbis demo are available here: http://ll-plugins.sf.net. The knob graphics are created by Thorsten Wilms and Peter Shorthose. The Sineshaper synth has two sine oscillators and two waveshapers. The sound from the two oscillators is mixed and passed through the waveshapers, first through the first waveshaper and then the second. You can control the tuning of both oscillators as well as their relative loudness, and the total amount of shaping and the fraction of that amount that each shaper applies. Both waveshapers use a sine function for shaping the sound, but for the second shaper you can shift the sine function (with maximal shift it becomes a cosine function) to produce a different sound. You can also add vibrato and tremolo, and change the ADSR envelope that controls the amplitude and shape amount (as well as setting the envelope sensitivity for both the amplifier and the shapers). There is also a "Drive" control that adds distorsion, and a feedback delay with controllable delay time and feedback amount. All control parameters can be changed using MIDI. The Sineshaper synth comes with some presets that you can play or use as starting points for your own synth settings. You can not change these "factory presets", but you can create and save your own presets. They are written to the file .sineshaperpresets in your home directory. If you make any nice presets I would really like to hear them. -- Lars Luthman PGP key: http://www.d.kth.se/~d00-llu/pgp_key.php Fingerprint: FCA7 C790 19B9 322D EB7A E1B3 4371 4650 04C7 7E2E

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] DSSI 0.9.1 release

by Sean Bolton

Announcing the DSSI Soft Synth Interface version 0.9.1 release: http://dssi.sourceforge.net/ DSSI is an audio plugin API for software instruments and effects, based on LADSPA, the ALSA sequencer event types, and OSC (Open Sound Control) communications. This release does _not_ contain any changes to the DSSI API itself, which has been stable now since the 0.4 release fifteen months ago (with minor additions at 0.9). Instead, it contains numerous clarifications to the specification and documentation, and the included reference host and example programs have become significantly more robust. Specific changes in 0.9.1 include: - The distribution now has a full autoconf/automake/libtool build system. - FluidSynth-DSSI has been moved into its own package, and no longer depends upon the FluidSynth source. - The reference host, jack-dssi-host, now supports plugins with audio inputs, as well as LADSPA-only plugins (with or without custom DSSI GUIs.) Available hosts and plugins --------------------------- More exciting than the changes in this release, is the recent growth in DSSI implementations. Items marked with '*' are new since the DSSI 0.9 release. Available hosts are: - jack-dssi-host, included in the DSSI distribution - the Rosegarden 4 sequencer * Om, a modular synthesizer * ghostess, a lightweight GTK+ host * dssi~, a Pure Data external Efforts are underway to add DSSI hosting to: - the MusE sequencer * Csound5 * GNU Classpath Available plugins include: - the simple synths and sampler in the DSSI distribution - FluidSynth-DSSI, a soundfont-playing plugin - Xsynth-DSSI, an analog-style synth - dssi-vst, a wrapper plugin enabling the use of many Windows VST plugins - hexter, a Yamaha DX7 modeling plugin * ll-scope, an oscilliscope plugin * Sineshaper, a waveshaping soft synth * dssi_convolve, a DSSI wrapper around libconvolve * xy-controller-dssi, a GUI controller plugin which translates mouse input into X-Y control outputs * WhySynth, which offers a number of synthesis methods The Future ---------- In the year and a half since its initial introduction, DSSI has met a number of challenges to its adoption: the continued (perpetual?) forthcomingness of GMPI, apprehension about adopting a standard with 'Disposable' in its name, some "wait and see if takes off" attitude, and numerous gripes that it won't do this or can't do that. Even so, the creative potential available through DSSI today is great. In part due to this success, there has been a noticable commitment voiced in recent discussions on the DSSI email list to keeping any future enhancements backward-compatible with the existing DSSI API. In the author's opinion, this indicates DSSI will continue to be a stable API, at least until such time as a '2.0' version is considered. With regard to possible future enhancements, interest has been highest in two areas: providing plugins with transport position and tempo information, and allowing plugins to send MIDI data. If you're interested in helping shape these or other developments, please join us on the DSSI discussion list.
