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,
Dave Phillips
http://plugin.org.uk/releases/0.4.4/
* 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.

About AGNULA: Agnula (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution,
pronounced with a strong g) is the name of a project funded until
April 2004 by the European Commission (number of contract:
IST-2001-34879; key action IV.3.3, Free Software: towards the critical
mass). After the end of the funded period, AGNULA is continuing as a

The hosting site contacted me regarding the outdated material that was

Hi
After way too long, a new release of the BLOP LADSPA Plugin set.
Orginally named Bandlimited LADSPA Oscillator Plugins, but there's more
than oscillators... they're more useful in a modular host, such as
Spiral Synth Modular, gAlan, Alsa Modular Synth etc.
Plugins in the set:
New since last release:
* Quantiser (quantise to arbitrary values in a range)
* Signal Tracker (envelope follower, sample+hold, track+hold, ...)
* DAHDSR envelope generator
* Difference and Ratio utility plugins
Existing ones, with less bugs I hope:
* Bandlimited DCOs (wavetable based):
- Sawtooth
- Square
- Pulse with variable width
- Triangle with variable slope (Saw->Triangle)
* Analogue-style step sequencer
* Fast'n'Dirty Moog 4 Pole implementation
* Two ADSR envelope generators
* Random wave generator
* A mono amplifier
* Non-bandlimited square and pulse clock oscillators
* 1V / Octave CV to Frequency converter
* Control rate to Audio rate interpolator
* Sum and Product utility plugins
Some plugins come in control and audio rate variations.
RDF metadata is also included if your host supports it.
All plugins pass the demolition test:

Hi
I released this small utility ... and sorry for the English :-)
Overview
---------------
mcontrol is a ALSA MIDI sequencer client and brings the possibility to
assign up to twelve "simultaneous" MIDI control messages for each controller
in your MIDI keyboard (Modulation Wheel, Breath Controller, Foot Controller,
Pitch Bend and After Touch).
An example is always better:
You can send Reverb, Volume, Chorus, Modulation MIDI messages using the
modulation wheel controller of your MIDI keyboard. Or pitch bend and reverb
using after-touch, or control the Filter Cutoff in modulator wheel, or
control the Pan using the Pitch Bender ..... etc etc etc ...
Most of the moderns synthesizers can do that, but normally don't send the
midi data, with mcontrol you can record series of controllers in your
favorite sequencer.
Up to 200 Midi message controllers, can be edited and saved.
And programs and Banks of 45 programs of what you edit can be saved too.
availabel in:
http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/soudfontcombi/mcontrol-0.0.01.tar.gz
Please check, sure they will be tones of bugs :-)
Requirements:
---------------------
* Linux (Tested on a PIII 933 Debian sid and PII 300 Gentoo).
* ALSA (with sequencer).
* FLTK (tested and compiled with v1.1.1)
* Midi Keyboard (optional)
