[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Radium v0.63

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/radium-0.63.tar.bz2 http://www.notam02.no/radium/ (Note, the CVS is very outdated) Radium V0.63 Alpha Linux Port Released 15.4.2004 HOW TO MAKE IT RUN WITHOUT READING THE REST OF THE README FILE make ./start.sh INTRODUCTION This is the second public, and the first official, release of the linux port of the music editor Radium. The Amiga version has been stable since January 2002. Radium is a new type of graphical (currently only) notebased music editor. For more info about the program, check out the online manual placed at http://www.notam02.no/radium/ somewhere. COMPILE The following packages are currently used to build and run Radium: *libgc - http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/ *Python - www.python.org (at least V2.0 and tkinter) *Python development package *pyqt - http://www.gnu.org/directory/devel/specific/PyQT.html *pygtk - http://www.daa.com.au/~james/software/pygtk/ (pygtk1, use pygtk-0.6.11) *xterm - Yupp. Most of these things are allready included in the radium/ directory (mainly because of compatibility problems between various versions of gtk, pygtk and libglade), so you only need to get hold of "pyqt". "pyqt" is available as package for most linux distributions. CURRENT STATE The biggest problem is that saving does not work. Loading does though. Other things that needs to be fixed is that the playing behaves strange when reaching the end of the blocks, and that the alsa-seq code needs some care (midi/alsaseq/). ABOUT THE CODE The code is a mix between C and Python. The state of some of the code is quite horrible and ununderstandable, but relatively bug-free, eh hopefully. :) CONTACT k.s.matheussen(a)notam02.no http://www.notam02.no/radium/ --

The Week of Freedom is an event promoted and organized by Hipatia [1] and Free Software Foundation Europe [2] with a plethora of local associations and organizations - a 6-days long tour around Siena, Florence, Milan, Turin and Rome with conferences, workshops, speeches on free (as in free speech) knowledge. As the conference's organizers say: While leaving behind the industrial society and entering into the information and knowledge society the concept of liberty changes. Defending our liberty today means defending the freedom of knowledge. Moreover: free knowledge has already proved, through free software and publishing, to be able to promote social, economic and development models that produce wealth, growth and wellness. This is the topic of the week of meetings that will take place between Siena, Florence, Milan and Turin. During the week freedom of knowledge will be discussed from the juridical, social, artistic and technical perspectives. AGNULA will be in Siena [3] on April 17, when Andrea Glorioso will give a speech on AGNULA Libre Music, Free Ekanayaka and Damien Cirotteau will make a presentation and host a "hands-on" workshop on AGNULA/DeMuDi; and in Turin on April 21, when Andrea Glorioso will give a speech on AGNULA Libre Music.

[linux-audio-announce] ANNOUNCE: workshop Pure Data, Amsterdam

by derek holzer

WORKSHOP PURE DATA Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/Time Based Arts 26 - 29 May 2004 Fee: E 150,- Guests: Aymeric Mansoux, Derek Holzer, Frank Barknecht and Jaromil This workshop is meant for beginners and will focus on Open Source software for the real-time manipulation of audio and video. The dual package of Pure Data and GEM, offer a complete set of tools for sound, multimedia and VJ purposes. Topics will include: real-time audio and video processing with PD and GEM, RRADical PD, PDP and an overview of other free and open source audio and video tools for Linux. PD and GEM The dual package of PD [Pure Data] and GEM [Graphics Environment for Multimedia], developed under an open source model by an international community of programmers, offers just such a set of tools. Running under Windows, Linux or OSX, PD and GEM can be used in commonly available, inexpensive hardware as a complete multimedia environment. Both applications allow for the real-time manipulation of sound and image data within a visual programming environment which does not require any previous experience in traditional computer languages. PDP is a set of external objects to PD developed by Tom Schouten, runs under Linux and OSX, and are based on the idea of processing data in packets. While it is primarily used for video, the basic structure of PDP allows any kind of data to be processed into any other kind of data. Images can be converted to textures, which can be mapped onto 3D objects, converted back to images, changed into sound, re-rendered again as image, and so on. The possibilities are endless. RRADical PD (Reusable and Rapid Audio Development) is a set of patches created by Frank Barknecht in order to make Pure Data easier and faster to use for newcomers and for people who are looking for a collection of standardized music tools similar to what commerical software packages such as Reason or Reaktor offer. The workshop is for beginners. The level will go up while the week progresses. The first day will be dedicated to basic PD and for those who bring their own machine, an installation session. For applications please contact Marloes de Valk marloes(a)montevideo.nl <mailto:marloes@montevideo.nl> Purpose While many tools exist for sound, multimedia and VJ purposes, few of them are designed with an open architecture which allows artists to configure the tools they use themselves. Fewer still are free. The importance of an open source development model may seem academic at first, but in fact there is a strong need for a workshop of this kind. The fees, licenses and restrictions that come with commercial software become more and more restrictive every day, and the knowledge in the new media community of free and open source software is extremely limited. Coupled with this is the stigma that open source software, such as Linux, is "too difficult" for artists to use. This workshop aims to provide the tools which can be taken away and put to use immediately and the knowledge of how to use them productively. Details The workshop sessions will be held in the Netherlands Media Art Institute. Over the 4 days of the workshop, 12 participants will learn about PD, GEM, and PDP, working under the Linux operating system. Topics of the workshop will include: * Crash course 'Installing PD and GEM for beginners' with invited guests * Basic PD with Derek Holzer * Basic GEM with Aymeric Mansoux * Intermediate PD with Derek Holzer * RRADical PD with Frank Barknecht * PDP with Aymeric Mansoux * Clinic * Presentation and jamm session At the end of the fourth day a short presentation of the workshop will take place. This presentation will be open to an audience invited by the participants. The workshop will finish with a "Jam Session", in which the participants can share the creations they have made with each other and with the audience. Invited Guests Frank Barknecht (D) Open source developer, sound artist and the creator of the End-User Abstractions project (RRADical PD, Reusable and Rapid Audio Development) which makes it possible to learn using Pd in a top-down way, making PD more accessible and open. <http://footils.org> Aymeric Mansoux (F) Artist and author of pure-data tutorials/articles for MusicRun, Co-Founder of a group dedicated to alternative digital art study and Co-Founder of Goto10, an organization dedicated to set up and produce electronic live events. <http://www.bleu255.com> Derek Holzer (NL/US) Sound artist currently based in Utrecht.

[linux-audio-announce] wcnt-1.1z is released!

by James W. Morris

Hello Everyone! Announcing for the last time this year the new release of Wav Composer Not Toilet. Wcnt is of course, the not-real-time modular synth, sequencer, sampler, wav file generator. Get it from wcnt.sourceforge.net. This release is wcnt-1.1z (read wcnt-1.1260) and here are the new features and changes: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BIG CHANGES: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** Updated website to be more helpful + online example. *** Sets of data which are not module parameters or module inputs (shape of an adsr, notes in a riff, riffs in a sequencer, etc) have now been generalised into a base class. Specialised data reading routines have been replaced, which make it easier to program new data sets. This also means that data definitions are now more tappy tappy on your keyboard, my justification for this extra user effort is readability. *** Riffs inserted into sequencer can be transposed at point of insertion, and the note lengths can be modified. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ COMMAND LINE: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** Now has short options too. *** two conversion options to convert a note name to a frequency, and a frequency to degrees per sample and samples per cycle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW MODULES: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** dynamic Maps amplitudes of input signal to a set of output amplitudes/ratios. Of course it has two sets of which the output can be modulated between. *** spreader Spreads the output of a number of wcnt_signal modules along an imaginary line and outputs that which the modulation input lands upon. *** note_tran Translates notes into values. The note range used depends on being triggered by a note_on, or note_slide. Four output triggers so you can tell if the note was in one of the two note ranges or not. (see online example: wcnt.sourceforge.net/drumex01.wc ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MINOR CHANGES: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** adsr got a couple new params regarding shape modulation *** logic trigger's xor mode definately works now (dunno if it did before) *** trigger now behaves in a note_on/note_off type operation gleaned from the input signal. *** wcnt_signal has a level param That's All Folks, same time next year, see ya! see ya! see ya. see ya, see ya see yaseeyacyacyacycaaa...

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] JACK Bitscope 1.1 and the GL Mixer

by Nick Lamb

http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njl98r/code/ladspa/ The JACK bitscope is a diagnosis tool for JACK audio software on Linux (and perhaps other systems which have JACK and GTK+ 2.x). As its name might suggest, the bitscope operates at the bare metal of JACK's I/O layer, looking at the 32 binary digits in each individual sample. It's basically functional, and its release and subsequent announcement were delayed most by the need to provide some adequate examples in the documentation. JACK bitscope can be downloaded from the URL above, and is documented here... http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njl98r/code/ladspa/bitscope/ The GL Mixer is a 3D widget for mixing up to eight JACK audio streams down to stereo, providing a somewhat intuitive interface to level & pan controls through the ability to move sources (represented as columns) on a 2D plane. No points for identifying the inspiration for this toy, and no bug reports yet please unless accompanied by a patch; screenshot at.. http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njl98r/code/ladspa/glmix.png

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] XMMS LADSPA 1.0

by Nick Lamb

http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njl98r/code/ladspa/ XMMS LADSPA is an Effect plugin for XMMS that provides (some of) the power of the Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API to your everyday MP3 and all-around media player. This version adds save & restore functionality so that if you use XMMS LADSPA with the same plugins all the time you don't need to laboriously re-start those settings when you restart XMMS, they will be remembered as will all their parameters.
