[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] dssi-vst 0.3

by Chris Cannam

dssi-vst 0.3 released! ====================== The 0.3 release of dssi-vst is now available. dssi-vst is a DSSI plugin wrapper for VST effects and instruments with GUI support, allowing them to be loaded into any DSSI host. It requires a fairly recent version of Wine (this calendar year at least). dssi-vst is available from the download page at http://dssi.sourceforge.net/ The main improvement since the initial 0.1 release is that dssi-vst now works correctly with plugins with complex GUIs that use back-channel information to communicate things like patch data to the audio plugin. In practical terms, this means that VSTs with test keyboard widgets, patch load and save, and other natty features in their GUIs should work properly as DSSI plugins without losing automatability for the true automatable parameters.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] DSSI 0.9 released

by Chris Cannam

DSSI v0.9 released ================== I'm happy to announce version 0.9 of the DSSI plugin API. http://dssi.sourceforge.net/ DSSI is an audio plugin API designed for software instruments with custom user interfaces. DSSI is based on the LADSPA effects plugin API, the ALSA sequencer event types, and OSC (Open Sound Control) communications. It's intended to be easily understood, GUI-toolkit-agnostic, and slightly biased towards familiarity with MIDI. The DSSI distribution package contains a JACK/ALSA-sequencer reference host and some plugins as well as the specification and header. DSSI 0.9 was constructed by Steve Harris, Chris Cannam, and Sean Bolton. New in 0.9 ---------- The main improvements in 0.9 are to the reference host implementation and sample plugins. The 0.9 API itself is binary compatible with the previous 0.4 release. A new convention for plugin-global (rather than instance-local) configuration data and a convention for setting a plugin's project working directory have been introduced, and 0.9 clarifies certain implementation points in the documentation. Available hosts and plugins --------------------------- Two hosts are currently known to include complete or nearly-complete DSSI support: the reference jack-dssi-host included in the DSSI 0.9 distribution, and versions 0.9.9 and later of the Rosegarden-4 sequencer. Currently available plugins include: * a FluidSynth soundfont plugin included in the DSSI distribution * Xsynth-DSSI, an analog-style (VCAs-VCF-VCO) plugin * dssi-vst, a wrapper plugin enabling the use of many Windows VST instruments and effects * hexter, a Yamaha DX7 modeling plugin * three smaller example plugins (two synths and a sampler) that are also part of the DSSI distribution.

[linux-audio-announce] LilyPond 2.4 released - print music beautifully

by Han-Wen Nienhuys

Dear music enthusiasts, LilyPond version 2.4 was released today! LilyPond is a program for making beautiful music notation. It is open source/free software, and is available for all popular operating systems. It runs on most Unix flavors --including Linux and MacOS X-- and MS Windows. Use it for your music as well! With this release, LilyPond does not rely anymore on TeX to do titling and page layout, but distributes page breaks optimally by itself to produce evenly spaced pages, while respecting user specified turning points. The slur formatting code has been completely rewritten, and now yields classical engraving quality results for most cases. In addition, version 2.4 adds fret diagrams, a safe execution mode for webserver use, a further simplified input format, better typography for ledger lines, many bugfixes and a fully revised and updated manual. Grab it at http://lilypond.org A big thank-you goes out to our contributors: Carl Sorensen David Svoboda Guy Gascoigne-Piggford Heikki Junes Hendrik Maryns Kristof Bastiaensen Mats Bengtsson Michael Welsh Duggan Peter Lutek Werner Lemberg Also thanks to our bug-hunters: Antti Kaihola, Bertalan Fodor, Brian Clements, Christian Hitz, Christoph Ludwig, Christophe Papazian, Daniel Berjón Díez, Dave Phillips, David Bobroff, David Brandon, Doug Asherman, Ed Jackson, Heinz Stolba, Jefferson dos Santos Felix, Karl Hammar, Marco Gusy, Martin Norbäck, Matthias Neeracher, Maurizio Tomasi, Michael Kiermaier, Pascal Legris, Peter Rosenbeck, Russ Ross, Stephen Pollei, Thomas Scharlowski, Will Oram, Yuval Harel, Happy music printing, The LilyPond development team, Han-Wen Nienhuys & Jan Nieuwenhuizen Core development Graham Percival Documentation Editor Erik Sandberg Bugmeister Pedro Kroeger Build meister -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | hanwen(a)xs4all.nl | http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen

The conference will take place in Barcelona, Spain, from the 5th to 9th of September 2005, with pre-conference workshops on September 1st and 2nd. ICMC is the pre-eminent annual gathering of computer music practitioners from around the world. Its unique interleaving of professional paper presentations and concerts of new computer music compositions creates a vital synthesis of science, technology, and the art of music. By choosing 'free sound' as this year's leitmotif, we aim to emphasise the idea of freeing sound from its current aesthetic, technical and legal confines. We wish to promote an open discussion on the extent to which sound is considered a community asset -- an asset that belongs to society and cannot be privatised. Thus, we encourage contributions that emphasise these and related topics. We invite original contributions in all areas of the computer music field in a number of formats. However, we are also open to any proposal, and encourage all submissions, including those that do not fit the categories below. We issue the following calls: * Call for music, video, and installations (deadline February 5, 2005) We invite submissions of electroacoustic music, video, and installation works that reflect the diversity of the field. Opportunities exist to combine digital resources with a variety of instrumental ensembles. For further details visit http://www.icmc2005.org/index.php?selectedPage=76 * Call for papers, posters, and demonstrations (deadline March 5, 2005) We invite submissions for papers, posters, and demonstrations examining the aesthetic, compositional, educational, musicological, scientific, or technological aspects of computer music and digital audio. For further information visit http://www.icmc2005.org/index.php?selectedPage=73 * Call for panels, workshops and special events (deadline April 5th, 2005) We invite proposals for panel sessions, workshops and special events, especially those with relevance to the conference theme of 'free sound'. * Call for exhibitors (deadline June 5th, 2005) The conference will provide a forum for the world's leading music technology companies to showcase their latest product information and for schools and institutions to highlight their educational programs. We invite submissions from interested parties. To promote the idea of 'free sound', the organisers of ICMC 2005 are setting up the Free Sound Project, a website dedicated to the sharing and usage of copyleft [1] sounds. Thus, we are making a special call for copyleft sounds with no specific deadline. For more information, visit http://www.icmc2005.org/ in the near future. For detailed information on the conference, and submission formats, visit http://www.icmc2005.org/ To keep up to date with all of the latest news and information about ICMC 2005 please subscribe to our mailing list by visiting http://www.icmc2005.org/index.php?selectedPage=64 We are looking forward to your contributions!
