[linux-audio-announce] Freecycle 0.5alpha is out!

by Predrag Viceic

Freecycle 0.5alpha is out! Lot of new features in this release, among which a fully functional midi subsystem, allowing the assignement of midi notes to locked beatlines and realtime playing of midi note events. Freecycle now supports drag n'drop from/to or within Freecycle. Moreover, it allows the drag n'droped waves to be stacked and assigned to a scene. The other new addition to Freecycle is the SoundFont export, allowing easy integration of the work done with Freecycle with the sequencer software such as Muse or Rosegarden. Last, but not least, thanks to the sustained effort of Mat Rowlands (podulator), Freecycle has now an illustrated manual (http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freecycle/freecycle-manual-1.0.0.tar.gz )describing all the features. This manual can be used standalone, or integrated with Qt help system directly from Freecycle. The compilation is a bit complicated, please read the README before attempting the build. New dependencies: -portaudio -portmidi -libinstpatch Enjoy! Predrag Viceic

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Ecasound 2.4.3 released

by Kai Vehmanen

1. Summary of changes Support for the ALSA sequencer API has been added. A few bugs related to .ewf file processing have been fixed. A serious problem in the disk i/o subsystem, which caused system freezes in some conditions, has been fixed. Disk subsystem performance has also improved slighly in this release. --- 2. What is Ecasound? Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package. Primary platform for running Ecasound is GNU/Linux. Ecasound can also be run on many UNIX-derived systems such as FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris. Limited support for Windows is available through Cygwin. Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed under the LGPL. --- 3. Changes since last release * Support for the ALSA MIDI Sequencer API. See < http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/MIDI-HOWTO-10.html > for an good introduction of what can be done with the ALSA sequencer subsystem. For instructions on how to use it with Ecasound, see < http://eca.cx/ecasound/Documentation/examples.html#midi-io >, and the ecasound(1) man page. * Important bugfixes to the disk i/o subsystem. A severe bug causing system freezes when using -z:db with very large buffersizes has been fixed. This also closes Debian bug #317900: < http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=317900 > * Bugfixes to .ewf file support. Debugging code for .ewf processing was accidentally left enabled to the 2.4.2 release, causing very verbose console output when processing ewf-files. A bug in the interaction between .ewf files and the disk i/o subsystem, was also fixed. * The --{disable,enable}-jack configure switch was broken in 2.4.2 release. Luckily this has affected only a minority of users, as by default JACK is enabled whenever the necessary headers and libraries are present at compile-time. Full list of changes is available at: - http://www.eca.cx/ecasound/history.php. --- 4. Interface and configuration file changes None in this release. --- 5. Contributors to this release Patches - Accepted code, documentation and build system changes * Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas [pedrolz] (1) Support for ALSA MIDI sequencer. Bug Hunting - Reports that led to bugfixes (items closed) * Pedro Antonio Fructuoso Merino (2) Bug in using 'ao-remove' to remove JACK objects. The disk i/o system freeze bug. * Arieh Skliarouk, Junichi Uekawa, Tom Rosenfeld (1) The disk i/o system freeze bug. * Julien Claassen (1) Ewf + -z:db bugs. * Valery -at- vslash -dot com (1) Failed runtime check when run on FreeBSD 5.3 * Kamil Wencel (1) Bugs with combining resampling and JACK input/outputs. --- 6.

[linux-audio-announce] Reminder: Piksel05 - Call for entries

by 220hex

+++ only 3 days left... +++ ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| -- Piksel05 - october 16-23. 2005 -- call for participation -- deadline 15. august 2005 ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Piksel[1] is an annual event for artists and developers working with open source audiovisual software tools. Part workshop, part festival, it is organised in Bergen, Norway, by the Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts (BEK) [2] and involves participants from more than a dozen countries exchanging ideas, coding, presenting art and software projects, doing workshops, performances and discussions on the aesthetics and politics of open source. Piksel05 will take place in Bergen october 16. - 23. 2005. The development, and therefore use, of digital technology today is mainly controlled by multinational corporations. Despite the prospects of technology expanding the means of artistic expression, the commercial demands of the software industries severely limit them instead. Piksel is focusing on the open source movement as a strategy for regaining artistic control of the technology, but also a means to bring attention to the close connections between art, politics, technology and economy. One of the results of the past Piksel events is the initiation of the Piksel Video Framework for 'interoperability between various free software applications dealing with video manipulation techniques'[3]. Piksel05 will also feature the release of the Piksel LiveCD[4], a Linux distribution containing the software used and developed at Piksel. The package contains a suite of innovative audiovisual and artistic software, free video plugins, and documentation from the past Piksel events. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| open CALL for PARTICIPATION The last two Piksel events has focused on live art/audiovisual performance, but for Piksel05 the main focus will be an exhibition in collaboration with Hordaland Kunstsenter[5]. For the exhibition and other parts of the program we are interested in submissions in the following categories: 1. Installations and interactive work Audiovisual installations created and run solely using open source software. The theme for the exhibition will be loosely related to 'games' and the gaming experience. 2. Audiovisual performance Live art realised by the use of open source software. 3. Software Innovative artistic tools or software art released under an open licence. Please send documentation material - preferably as a URL to online documentation with images/video to piksel05(a)bek.no Deadline - august 15. 2005 Use this form for submitting (or go to the online form at http://www.piksel.no/piksel05/subform.html): |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 1.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] liboscqs 0.0.3 - An OSC Query System

by Martin Habets

liboscqs is a library to provide a Query System and Service Discovery for applications using the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol [1]. The initial proposal for the OSC Query System was provided by Andrew W. Schmeder and Matthew Wright in July 2004 [2]. The next paragraph has their abstract: A Query System is proposed for inter-application control scenarios. The queries enable namespace exploration, documentation, type-signature, return-type-signature and parameter constraint specification, current-value polling, identification of common interpretation maps via osc-schema, and error reporting. See [2] for the full paper describing their proposal. This project is the result [3] of the various discussions that followed, but remains very close to the original proposal. Besides a Query System, this library provides Service Discovery. This allows applications to annouce their presence locally and on a whole computer network. For more information, source tarballs, RPM packages, and Debian packages please see the homepage at: http://liboscqs.sourceforge.net/ - Martin Factfile: - liboscqs uses liblo [4] as an OSC server. Thanks Steve! - The liboscqs source uses the scons [5] build tool - liboscqs supports Service Discovery using either Howl or Spread - liboscqs has only tested on Linux so far, but the intent is to support all POSIX systems. - liboscqs is FSH 2.3 compliant.
