by derek holzer

START Pure Data/ Free and Open Source Software Workshop ------------------------------------------------- VJ | Video editing | Audio editing ---------------------------------- Hosted by OpenMute, London UK - Monday 13 Dec - Tuesday 14 Dec **PD.ZILLA --- PURE DATA STOMPS THE UK!** Workshops and demos on Free and Open Source Software by Aymeric Mansoux and Derek Holzer. While many tools exist for sound, multimedia and VJ purposes, few of them are designed with the kind of open architecture that allows artists to reconfigure the tools themselves. Fewer still are free to use, share and rebuild. This workshop introduces the software combination of Pure Data, GEM and PDP/PiDiP, running on the Linux operating system, as a platform for audio, video and multimedia artists to explore.

The workshop team can install PD and setup your machine, but please allow sufficient space [700 Mb for dyne:bolic, or 5 Gb for full Linux installation!]. This is on top of any existing operating system (OS) and will not damage your existing OS (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, BSD, + other Unix flavours can be accommodated). **NB - Please let us know in advance if you want to bring your own machine and let us know its specifications** The program ----------- DAY ONE INTERMEDIATE: aimed towards people with some basic familiarity with computers, and who would like to increase their knowledge of Pure Data, digital audio+video and Linux. 1 Installation Clinic(workshop participants only) [HANDS-ON][1 HOUR] This block of time will be set aside for people to bring in their own PCs in order to install either the dyne:bolic or Fedora Linux/Planet CCRMA system of audio video applications. Please set aside a suitable amount of space on your hard drive! [700 Mb for dyne:bolic, or 5 Gb for full Linux installation!] 2 Meet Mr. Pure Data[HANDS-ON][3 HOURS] An introduction to simple programming using the graphical environment of PD, or Pure Data. Participants will build a simple, monophonic synthesizer which can be played from the computer keyboard, while learning some of the basic "grammar" and "vocabulary" of the PD language. Several ready-made instruments from the RRADical collection of patches for PD will also be introduced. 3 Everyone Wants to be a VJ, pt. 1[HANDS-ON][3 HOURS] An introduction to GEM, the Graphics Environment for Multimedia, which is an external library for PD which allows for the creation and manipulation of 3D objects. Participants will explore basic 3D shapes + movements, as well as mapping images and textures onto these shapes. DAY TWO INTERMEDIATE: aimed towards people with some basic familiarity with computers and Pure Data, and with an interest in making live sound and video. 1. Our Old Friend, Mr. Pure Data[HANDS-ON][3 HOURS] A higher level workshop in PD, for those who survived the introduction and are ready for more complex exercises.

[linux-audio-announce] QjackCtl 0.2.13 released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone, Simply put: QjackCtl 0.2.13 has been released! This is yet another dot-release, nothing outstanding. Taken straight from the ChangeLog: - Main window is now properly minimized instead of simply hidden when the system tray icon is not available nor opted in (as suggested by Florian Schmidt). - Some informational status items are now updated 10 times less frequently (e.g. CPU Load, Sample Rate, Buffer Size, Realtime Mode, etc.), lowering the CPU burden of most probably redundant status updates. - XRUN detection and statistics are being conditionally included if jack_get_xrun_delayed_usecs() is available (as of JACK 0.99.7+ CVS). - Fixed ancient bug on client shutdown event handling, which was invoking the xrun notification handler by mistake. - Support for maximum scheduling delay status added (EXPERIMENTAL); this relies on jack_get_max_delayed_usecs() function availability at configure time, depending on a Lee Revell's non-official JACK patch. - Patchbay Activate button is now a toggle button widget, allowing the deactivation of the current patchbay profile. - Reset-status icon has been changed to a simple red circle instead of previous one which was much like a power-switch symbol. - Preset selection has been added to the context menu. Check it out from the usua place: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net Enjoy. -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] liblo 0.15

by Steve Harris

liblo is an implementation of the Open Sound Control[1] protocol for POSIX systems. It is written in ANSI C and released under the GNU General Public Licence. It is designed to make developing OSC applictions as easy as possible. http://plugin.org.uk/liblo/ This release adds some OSX compatibility fixes from Taybin Rutkin, support for OSC multipath pattern matching courtesy of Daniel Holth's pattern matcher and I've added bundle i/o. Liblo now implements everything in the OSC specification except type arrays. Pattern matching and bundles are largly untested, and should be treated as alpha quality, but should work. If you are using server threads or the nonblock API then bundles should JustWork(TM), if you are polling on the server fd then you have some work to do. There are API calls for detecting if/when there are scheduled messages. - Steve [1] http://www.cnmat.berkeley.edu/OpenSoundControl/
