[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] dssi-vst 0.1

by Chris Cannam

dssi-vst is a DSSI wrapper plugin for VST plugins. It enables any compliant DSSI host to use VST instruments and effects. It requires Wine, liblo-0.9, dssi.h, and the Steinberg VST SDK headers to build. http://sf.net/projects/dssi/ http://www.winehq.org/ http://plugin.org.uk/liblo/ http://www.steinberg.net/steinberg/ygrabit/index.html dssi-vst is self-contained code, it doesn't use vstserver or libfst. There's no very compelling reason for that, and there's nothing inventive about it, but it works quite well for me with all two of the existing DSSI hosts. dssi-vst is licenced under the GPL with an additional exemption to cover the non-redistributability of the Steinberg SDK headers. This means it is technically not Free Software in the Debian/FSF sense. Again, see the README for more details. Chris

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] TAP-plugins 0.7.0

by Tom Szilagyi

TAP-plugins 0.7.0 released. Homepage: http://tap-plugins.sf.net Reminder: the docs are in a separately downloadable package, get it from the same place! New plugins (as always, check the docs for detailed usage info): * TAP Chorus/Flanger An implementation capable of creating traditional Chorus and Flanger effects, spiced up a bit to make use of stereo processing. It sounds best on guitar and synth tracks. * TAP Sigmoid Booster This plugin applies a time-invariant nonlinear amplitude transfer function to the signal. Depending on the signal and the plugin settings, various related effects (compression, soft limiting, emulation of tape saturation, mild distortion) can be achieved. * TAP TubeWarmth Adds the character of vacuum tube amplification to your audio tracks by emulating the sonically desirable nonlinear characteristics of triodes. In addition, this plugin also supports emulating analog tape saturation. Fixes: * Caught denormal problem causing large CPU peaks in TAP Stereo Echo. Hopefully there are no more infected plugins in my collection; I carefully inspected all feedback loops in all plugins. But that don't mean a thing; please do not hesitate to complain if you still experience such bad behaviour in any plugin. Hope you enjoy this release. Please report any problems. Tom

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Mammut V0.17

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ Mammut will FFT your sound in one single gigantic analysis (no windows). These spectral data, where the development in time is incorporated in mysterious ways, may then be transformed by different algorithms prior to resynthesis. An interesting aspect of Mammut is its completely non-intuitive sound transformation approach. This is very minor update. If you already have mammut, theres probably not much point in upgrading. The "big" change in this release is the first entry in the changelog. I must also warn that mammut can be a bit hard to compile up, now that pygtk1 has been replaced with pygtk2 in all recent distributions I know about. 0.16 -> 0.17 -Initialize sound at startup, so that mammut appears in jack patch bays. -Removed the included sndlib binary. -Added a point in the INSTALL file about how to configure mammut to find the pygtk1 files. -Added a note in the INSTALL file about that sndlib for some reason does not work with delta cards when using the alsa driver. The oss driver (under alsa emulation), and the jack driver works just fine. --

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] jamin-0.9.0 release

by Jack O'Quin

The second stable release (0.9.0) of JAMin - the JACK Audio Mastering interface is now available for download. JAMin is a GPL-licensed, realtime mastering processor designed to bring out the detail in recorded music and provide a final layer of polish. Every effort has been made to ensure a clean, distortion-free signal path. All processing elements use linear-phase filtering to eliminate phase distortion. JAMin runs on Linux using the JACK Audio Connection Kit, a low-latency audio server. JACK connects multiple applications to a single sound device, and also share audio among themselves. We rely on other JACK applications (like ardour, ecasound, or rezound) for playback and recording. Homepage http://jamin.sourceforge.net/ Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jamin/jamin-0.9.0.tar.gz?download New dependencies (since jamin-0.8.0) swh-plugins >= 0.4.6 <http://www.plugin.org.uk> liblo >= 0.5 <http://plugin.org.uk/liblo> (optional, for OSC scene change control) All other dependencies remain unchanged, the README file has a complete list. Usage instructions http://jamin.sourceforge.net/Using_JAMin.html Changes since jamin-0.8.0 * Limiter improvements: -- uses new fast lookahead limiter (LADSPA:1913) from the swh-plugins >= 0.4.6. The old limiter had some undesirable sonic artifacts. -- changed order of final gain and limiter stages. * OSC control for scene changes: -- accepts "osc.udp://localhost:4444/jamin/scene" messages -- new `jamin-scene' command sends them -- new jamin-cont plugin (LADSPA:1912) sends scene change messages to the JAMin process via OSC. (This plugin works with ardour, ecamegapedal and applyplugin, but segfaults in jack-rack when removed.) * Increase number of scenes from 6 to 20 * GUI improvements -- extensive context-sensitive help -- color editor for highlights and text -- options pulldown menu for spectrum, crossfade, and EQ * Better bypass control -- specific bypass controls for EQ and limiter -- separate Active/Solo/Bypass for each crossover band * Global state settings saved in XML file. * Expanded Russian translation * Many bug fixes. -- joq
