http://plugin.org.uk/releases/0.4.7/
* Fixes to the build system, should now build OK!
* New plugin: Fast Lookahead Limiter, a 5ms attack, variable release time
lookahead limiter, superceeds the previous ones - do not use them, they had
critical bugs.
* Fixes to the "Pro-Logic" surround encoder from Prakash K. Cheemplavam.
The old lookahead limiters have been removed, please do not use them, the
are ireperably buggy.
This version will be required for the next JAMin release.

pd~convention04 - Call for works
The pd~stammtisch graz is organizing the first pd~convention. It will
take place in Graz in the week from 27th of September until 3rd of
October 2004. We aim to program a wide spectrum of presentations
regarding pure-data, the OpenSource/FreeSoftware realtime computer music
system by Miller S. Puckette. The program will include technical talks,
workshops with various levels of expertise and a number of artistic
works like concerts, installations and interventions. The pd~convention
is a cooperation between the pd~stammtisch graz, Medienkunstlabor, ESC,
mur.at and the iem.
CALL FOR ART-INSTALLATIONS
We are looking for art installations that are realized with pure-data
and/or within the context of pure-data. Therefore, this call for
installations specially targets on the pdcommunity. Since most
communication of the pd-community and development of pure-data is done
off-site (via internet technologies), we would like submitted works to
be installable without the need for the artist(s) to be on-site. Thus,
works should be technically simple.
the place
The installations will be located in and outside of the
Medienkunstlabor, which is situated in the Kunsthaus Graz. A tramway
station is directly in front of the Medienkunstlabor. Therefore, this
place is highly frequented by both residents and visitors to the
Kunsthaus that are potentially interested in art.
Indoors installations will be accessible by passengers during daytime,
outdoors installations are permanently accessible.
requirements
platform: pure-data
media: audio, video, installation,...
genre: any
audience: The primary target group of the installations are the ordinary
passers-by that do not necessarily have any knowledge of art
what we can offer
computers: Several (5-8) PCs running on linux, all of them with a
broadband connection to the internet.
sound: Each PC is equipped with 2 channel consumer audio-card
video: 1-2 video beams are available, driven by hardware accelerated
graphics cards
If you need something special, please send an email to pd-convention(a)iem.at.
conditions
deadline: 31st of August 2004, 23:59 GMT
language: Submittance can be in German or English
mailing costs: Mailing costs are borne by the entrant and will not be
returned.
travel expenses: Travel expenses are borne by the entrant. Works that do
not require the artist(s) to come to graz are preferred.
submissions
If you are interested, please submit your proposal/material before 31st
of August 2004 either via email to pd-convention(a)iem.at or via postal
services to
pd~convention
c/o iem
inffeldgasse 10/3

This version is the third beta of the 1.2.0 series, which sports
tighter integration with Debian, using the Sarge Debian Installer and
the CDD (Custom Debian Distributions) framework.
It's a mainly a bug fixing release, with few additions. It's still
meant for testing, but should be quite usable.
Instructions on how to download and install it can be found here:

bzip2, cdrecord, xchat, unison, gqview)
* Fixed pre-seeded debconf answer for dictionaries-common
* Running the XFree86 configuration menu item of base-config
only on fresh installations, so that running base-config
again won't affect the XF86Config-4 file

* fluxbox 0.9.9
- Menus:
* Fixed bug in the Samplers menu

Hi everyone,
It's been a while, although this time there's not much. Just minor fixes,
nothing very outstanding. However here it is, a new public release for
QjackCtl, the little Qt (cutie:) application to control the JACK sound
server daemon, specific for the Linux Audio Desktop infrastructure.
Check it out from the usual place:
http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net
>From the changelog:
- Patchbay socket dialog client and plug list option items are now
properly escaped as regular expressions.
- JACK callbacks are now internally mapped to QCustomeEvent's instead
of using the traditional pipe notifications.
- The system tray popup menu is now featured as a context menu on the
main application window too.
- The reset status option is now included in the system tray popup menu.
- Server stop command button now enabled during client startup interval;
this makes it possible to stop the server just in case the client
can't be activated for any reason.
- Top level sub-windows are now always raised and set with active focus
when shown to visibility.
Hope you enjoy.

Greetings:
I've recently updated my tutorial on using VST/VSTi plugins under Linux :
http://www.djcj.org/LAU/quicktoots/toots/vst-plugins/
It now includes material regarding the fst project as well as the
vstserver.
Best regards,

* Fixes to build on recent gcc
* New limiter for beter performance in JAMin
* Denomal fixes from Tim Blechmann (general and specifially the flanger)
* Many other things I've forgotten :(
This release is largely untested, I released it because there are a number
of important outstanding fixes. It may break some plugins, so beware.

TAP-plugins 0.6.0 released.
TAP Reverb Editor initially released.
Homepage: http://tap-plugins.sf.net
OK, here we go:
* New plugin: TAP Fractal Doubler. Suitable for doubling tracks
containing vocals, acoustic/electric guitars, bass and just about
any other instrument. The effect is created by applying small
changes to the pitch and timing of the incoming signal. The changes
are created by a one-dimensional random fractal line producing pink
noise. Special thanks to Jan Depner for suggesting this plugin and
pointing me to useful information about fractals.
* New plugin: TAP Reflector. This plugin creates a psychedelic reverse
audio effect. It is especially worth trying this plugin on sustained
guitar and vocal tracks. Percussive sounds also create a very
characteristic atmosphere when played in a backward-ish style.
* New plugin: TAP Pink/Fractal Noise. This plugin came to life as a
secondary product of the development of TAP Fractal Doubler. It
generates pink noise by means of a one-dimensional random fractal
line generated by the midpoint displacement method.
Yes, it's Reverb time again!
* Vastly enhanced the internal workings of TAP Reverberator. As a
result, the sonic quality of reverberation got much better. (Well,
at least, now it *IS* real reverberation.) If you tried it once,
and found it sounded like hell, you definitely need to check it out
now!
* Long-long-standing denormal float (or whatever) problems causing
occasional runaway CPU-usage led to the complete re-implementation
of the internal DSP algorithm of the reverb using fixed-point
arithmetics. This inherently fixes denormal problems. However, the
option to use the previous floating-point DSP code remains as a
#define which you can set before compiling. The default is to use
fixed-point math. Very special thanks to Jan Depner for spending his
time with repeatedly testing the reverb and sharing his insights.
* A new application named TAP Reverb Editor has been written. It is a
standalone JACK app, with a GTK+-2 user interface. It works and
sounds the same as the LADSPA version (TAP Reverberator), but has
extended features that support direct editing of Reverb Types, with
immediate visual and sonic feedback. You can design new Reverb Types
easily, and 'backporting' these into the LADSPA version is also a
breeze. This program is available as a separate package called
TAP-reverbed.
* Introducing some new Reverb Types:
I made these for some acoustic guitar tracks:
* Ambience
* Ambience (Thick)
* Ambience (Thick) - HD
...and these for fun:
* Cathedral
* Cathedral - HD
Other changes:
* TAP Dynamics plugins (both Mono and Stereo) were also affected by a
runaway CPU-usage issue. It was fixed in the same way as with the
reverb: by converting the internals to use fixed point math by
default. (The #define option to use floating point math still
remains.)
* Applied patch from Luke Yelavich to clean up the Makefile a bit.
* Complete website/docs redesign. The documentation for TAP-plugins
and the user manual for TAP Reverb Editor is now available for
download as a separate package called TAP-plugins-doc.
Hope you enjoy this release. Please report any problems.
Tom
