[...Codito Ergo Sum...]
jack.plumbing - Announce
The JACK plumbing daemon has a new rule to dramatically reduce
ordinary rule set sizes, a new system wide configuration file, and a
new version number to indicate progress.
The rule 'also-connect' makes managing machines that connect to a
studio using an ethernet cable simpler. Adding the entry:
(also-connect "alsa_pcm:playback_1" "jack.udp-[0-9]*:in_1")
to ~/.jack.plumbing ensures that when jack.udp(1) is running in send
mode all signals that are ordinarily sent to the local audio interface
will also be sent to the network destination. The also-connect
aliasing applies to both the left and right hand side of connect
rules, so that:
(also-connect "jack.udp-[0-9]*:out_\1" "alsa_pcm:capture_\1")
works as expected.
The changes required to support this rule exacerbate the loss of
efficiency that began with the introduction of sub-expression rules.
Again the reduction is rule set sizes is the compensation, however
JACK sessions with ~= 100 ports provide serious exercise for the
plumber.
The file /etc/jack.plumbing is now consulted if it exists.
A source archive and a copy of the manual page are available at:

The latest version of the realtime Linux Security Module is now
available in the usual directory, <http://www.joq.us/realtime>.
This version handles the new concurrent groups mechanism Linus
introduced in 2.6.4. It still works with earlier 2.6 kernels. There
are no functional changes. Unless you are running 2.6.4, there is no
reason to upgrade.
The realtime LSM is an installable kernel module that enables realtime
capabilities for any 2.6.x kernel without needing to directly patch
the kernel. It was written by Torben Hohn and Jack O'Quin, who make
no warranty concerning the safety, security or even stability of your
system when using it. It is provided under the provisions of the GPL.
Thanks to Martin Habets for pointing out this kernel change and then
showing me how to handle it.

galan-0.3.0_beta5 is released.
For those who know it already:
One of the new features include cloning. you can now select a bunch of
components and clone them. (This will be changed to a full blown
copy/paste mechanism soon) And the polyphony option will be added soon.
galan is a modular synthesizer similar to SSM and AMS.
The difference is that you build the schematics in one window and
have the controls in another window. So your synth UI is not cluttered
with the schematics.
galan also supports subpatches. You can add patches from the library to
your current patch with 2 mouseclicks.
the LADSPA adsr can be used for real note-on note-off behaviour.
And with the voice allocator it is already possible to build polyphonic
synths. I will refine that process somwhat. But it already works.
When you have setup your schematic and placed the controlling knobs and
sliders on your control panel, you can draw a custom background for the
ControlPanel and import the painted picture into galan. The knobs now
support alpha transparency, so they should integrate onto every
background.
galan supports jack and alsa sequencer. You can open any number of ports
you would like. The internal sequencers can sync to jack-transport.
galan also supports LADSPA. You will have all LADSPA effects handy you
normally use. And you will be able to setup a nice Interface for your
Effects. You would then save them to your sheet library, making them 2
clicks away.
So wiring a jack-inport and another jack-outport to your favorite
plugin, is done in a few seconds.
It even supports the first jack-midi patch (although only as a synth and
as the patch changed recently, there will be no sequencer around :)
perhaps the next patch.
get it at http://galan.sf.net
and look at

cause this is how it looks like.

Hi everybody,
I just wanted to put out that the submission for the International
Computer Music Conference (ICMC), 2004, Miami, Florida, is open for
submission at: http://www.suvisoft.fi/serv/icmc04/corg/submission.
More details as well as the call for works can be found at:

A primitive GPL'd commandline loop player. Switches between loops with
MIDI program changes or note events. More info on the webpage.
Its just something I knocked up ages ago, someone who is good in Pd
could make something better in about ten minuites, but I needed this to
have low CPU load.
Hopefully it will be useful to someone.
