[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] LinuxSampler 0.3.1

by Christian Schoenebeck

LinuxSampler [1] is a modular, streaming capable sampler. It was designed decoupled from any user interface, that is as sampler backend which can be controlled via network connection from an arbitrary place, using a custom, ASCII based protocol called LSCP [2]. [1] http://www.linuxsampler.org [2] http://www.linuxsampler.org/documentation.html Focus of this first release was an adequate support of the Gigasampler format, including experimental support for the new Gigasampler v3 format. For a complete list what is already covered and what is not, check the features site [3]. [3] http://www.linuxsampler.org/features.html Planned next: * strong synthesis optimizations * support for further sampler formats * instrument database system * implementation of further control interfaces like OSC [4] * SMP and network cluster support * as ports to other OSs are already on the pipe, maybe a new name :P You might want to use QSampler [5] as convenient graphical frontend to LinuxSampler. You can get everything from the downloads site [6].

[linux-audio-announce] ANNOUNCE: QSynth 0.2.3 released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi, After a long time laying in the backyard, QSynth 0.2.3 is being released to the world :) Qsynth is a Qt GUI front-end application to the excellent fluidsynth soundfont2 engine. You can check it out, right away from: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net The fine print goes like there's no really big new features on this. After all its only a minor dot-realease. As you may find from reading the changelog, there's a: - New option for system tray icon and menu, which is known to be effective on KDE enabled desktops; support for freedesktop.org's system tray protocol specification has been included so this maybe also effective on Gnome2. - Setup options for alternate MIDI and Audio devices were introduced. - Output level meters get smoother and slightly layout optimized. - Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where available, as the default handler is usually fatal when a JACK client is zombified abruptly. - Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line count exceeds in one third the user configured line count maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format. - Updated Mac OS X build instructions (README-OSX, by Ebrahim Mayat). That's it. Enjoy! -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

[linux-audio-announce] ANN: Q-Faust

by Albert Graef

(Cross-posted to the Faust and Q mailing lists.) Hi all, I thought that some of you might be interested in a Faust [1] interface I created for my functional programming language Q [2]. The interface allows you to load and run Faust DSPs in Q. Those of you who attended Yann Olarey's Faust workshop and my talk about Q at LAC05 should have an idea of what I'm talking about. ;-) I think that Faust and Q really make a great combo, which allows you to do all your multimedia/DSP stuff using nothing but modern FP tools. The Q-Faust interface is currently only available in cvs, see the q-faust module at [3]. A few examples are included, such as a realtime synthesizer playable via MIDI. To build and run this stuff, you'll need the Q core system, Q-SWIG, and the q-midi and q-audio modules, all readily available from [2]. And, of course, you'll also need Faust [1]. Relevant links: [1] Faust homepage: http://faudiostream.sourceforge.net [2] Q homepage: http://q-lang.sf.net [3] Q cvs repository: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/q-lang Enjoy! :) Cheers, Albert -- Dr. Albert Gr"af Dept. of Music-Informatics, University of Mainz, Germany Email: Dr.Graef(a)t-online.de, ag(a)muwiinfa.geschichte.uni-mainz.de WWW: http://www.musikwissenschaft.uni-mainz.de/~ag

[linux-audio-announce] [nfo] GOTO10 workshop at 0KN0 - anASPintro - belgium july 2005

by propaganda＠goto10.org

The ASP Introduction workshop from goto10 and hosted by okno.be intends to introduce the students to the basics of Audio Signal Processing in the fields of realtime music production. The workshop is specifically made for people willing to develop their work in the digital sound field and for people curious about the processes involved behind audio software they already use. The workshop will also teach and demonstrate which free technologies are available for audio and video streaming. The workshop will end with an open placard event (headphone live festival - more infos soon). ASP and Audio Synthesis Audio processing is the manipulation, either measurement or filtering, of an analog (voltage level) or digital (binary numbers) representation of sound. In the Digital Signal Processing field, this implies the conversion of the signal from an analog to a digital one and vice versa with a focus on one particular domain (time, space, frequency,...). Audio Synthesis is the art of producing artificially generated sounds using various techniques. This creation can be done either in the analog world (current manipulation) or digital world (discrete values manipulation). topics 1. understanding the physical sound 1.1 the phenomenon of sound 1.2 perceived qualities (duration, pitch, loudness) of sound 1.3 quantitative measurements (time, frequency, amplitude) of such qualities 2. understanding the digital representation of physical sound 2.1 basic sampling theory 2.2 ADC & DAC 2.3 binary numbers 3. basic audio signal processing 3.1 adding signals 3.2 multiplying signals 4. synthesis 4.1 simple FM 4.2 simple wavetable 4.3 simple granular 5. samples/soundfiles 5.1 different soundfiles 5.2 loss vs. lossless compression PURE DATA PD (aka Pure Data) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing. It is the third major branch of the family of patcher programming languages known as Max (Max/FTS, ISPW Max, Max/MSP, jMax, etc.) originally developed by Miller Puckette and company at IRCAM. The core of Pd is written and maintained by Miller Puckette and includes the work of many developers, making the whole package very much a community effort. It's hard to describe the possibilities of such an environment as its field of creation is almost infinite. From audio processing, to video, 2D/3D, interactivity, on-line experimentation, streaming and sensors, Pure-Data can handle all of these and provide a rock stable system which is perfect for performances and installations of any kind. topics 1. messages vs. audio signals 1.1 how audio signal differs from message signal 1.2 how to see audio signals 2. audio building blocks and operators 2.1 oscillators 2.2 [+~], [-~] and others 2.3 ramping and envelopes 3. delay & filters 3.1 introducing delay 3.2 various types of filters 4. let's make 4.1 a FM patch 4.2 a sample playing patch 4.3 an effect patch MFP The aim of My First Packet is to provide graphical high-level modules dedicated to quickly build an audio/video mixing and streaming platform on linux and eventually OSX. MFP works like a high level and friendly environment built on top of PD, PDP and PiDiP. topics - what is an abstraction - presentation of the different possibilities - presentation of Open Sound Control - presentation of icecast, ogg, vorbis, and theora - building an audio and video streaming system --- SCHEDULE DAY 1 12h-19h | ASP and Audio Synthesis | one day with the blackboard ... | chun lee + aymeric mansoux DAY 2 12h-19h | Pure Data | Applied theory and osc~ fun | chun lee + aymeric mansoux DAY 3 12h-19h | MFP | let's connect and stream | chun lee + aymeric mansoux DAY 4 14h-2h | GOTO10/OKNO placard | http://leplacard.org | more infos soon. --- :DATE: JULY 11th-14th 2005 :HOST: http://okno.be :LANGUAGE: english :FEE: 60 euros :LOCATION: OKNO brussels 1080 - koolmijnenkaai 30/34 quai aux charbonnages :FOOD&DRINKS: free tea+coffee - softdrinks 1 Ã¢Â¬ :HOUSING: not included :HARDWARE: bring your own laptop :BOOKING: annemie -at- okno -dot- be --- http://okno.be http://goto10.org/-/aspintroduction.html -- GOTO10 ONE WAY NFO L!ST - HTTP://GOTO10.ORG IRC.GOTO10.ORG #GOTO10 TO UNSUBSCRIBE SEND A MAIL TO NFO-UNSUBSCRIBE(a)GOTO10.ORG

[linux-audio-announce] ICMC Inspirational Ideas

by The S2S² project

[ Apologies for cross-posting. Feel free to forward around ] The ICMC2005 team (www.icmc05.org) together with the S2S² project (www.s2s2.org) is proposing another way of actively participate and interact in the conference apart from the traditional calls (papers, music,..) The basic idea is to have a venue where researchers and composers can discuss preliminary or visionary ideas. The ideas can be musical, technical, scientific, theoretical, practical, .... No proven results or developed systems are required, the only restriction is that the ideas should be original, inspired and thought provoking. The proposals will be reviewed by a panel. The authors will have a 5 min presentation time in a free-spirited discussion forum inside the ICMC05 activities. The accepted proposals will be printed as handouts during the venue. After the conference, a book will be published containing the papers and a summary of the discussion. This book will also be available online through the S2S² website. We are personally inviting relevant figures in the field to contribute to this idea, which we think is exciting and promising. There is no specific format or template for this call, we encourage original and interesting usage of the one-page format.Please consider submitting a proposal before the deadline on May 23rd, especially if you are already considering attending the Barcelona conference.

[linux-audio-announce] mma - Musical MIDI Accompaniment version Beta 0.14

by Bob van der Poel

I'm pleased to announce the release of my program mma - Musical MIDI Accompaniment version: Beta 0.14 MMA is a accompaniment generator -- it creates midi tracks for a soloist to perform with. User supplied files contain pattern selections, chords, and MMA directives. MMA is very versatile and generates excellent tracks. It comes with an extensive user-extendable library with a variety of patterns for various popular rhythms, an extensive user manual, and many demo songs. MMA is a command line driven program. It creates MIDI files which need a sequencer or MIDI file play program. MMA is written in Python. You'll need Python 2.3 (or later) for MMA to function. MMA is supplied in 4 tar.gz archives. Included: mma-bin -- the main script and library files. mma-html -- documentation in HTML format. mma-pdf -- documentation in PDF format. mma-songs -- a collection of about 230 songs in MMA format. If you get all four download packages the total size is still less than 1.5 megabytes. MMA is currently in final BETAs. We are hoping for a 1.0 release in summer 2005. Right now we need help in debugging the program, creating songs for distribution, and new and improved library files. Best of all, MMA is free. It is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. It has been developed on a Linux platform, but should be usable on just about any system. A detailed page now exists on our web site on how-to install on a Windows system. MMA is available on my personal home page: http://mypage.uniserve.com/~bvdp/mma/ If you have any questions or comments, please send them to: bvdp(a)uniserve.com Beta 0.14: A number of bug fixes, many more system macros, ALLTRACKS command added, major fixes to chord generation. Comments appreciated! -- Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bvdp(a)uniserve.com WWW: http://mypage.uniserve.com/~bvdp
