Fixed the rc file so the io menu displays the checks properly. General
tidyups which I have forgotten.
Deserves bump to 0.4.0. Am debating whether to jump to 1.0 but will
leave that for a few weeks so I can think about the other possiblities
for the interface.
Speak now ...
I have been using this tool regularly for live sets and it does
everything which I set out to accomplish. Anything else added to it is
bonus from now on. Of course patches are more than welcome.

Apparently upon the beginning of the barrage, the donkey broke
discipline and panicked, toppling the cart. At that point, the rockets
disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street.
Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before
the arrival of U.S. troops.

BEAST/BSE version 0.6.0 is available for download at:
ftp://beast.gtk.org/pub/beast/v0.6/
or
http://beast.gtk.org/beast-ftp/v0.6/
This is a development version of BEAST/BSE, the BEdevilled Audio SysTem
and the Bedevilled Sound Engine. BEAST is a powerful music composition
and modular synthesis application released as free software under the
GNU GPL and GNU LGPL, that runs under unix.
The project is hosted at:
http://beast.gtk.org
A mailing list is available at:
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/beast/
This new development series of BEAST comes with a lot of
the internals redone, many new GUI features and a sound
generation back-end separated from all GUI activities.
Outstanding new features include support for skins, many sample
file formats, MIDI file import abilities, an improved piano roll
widget, the track editor which allows for easy selection of
synthesisers or samples as track sources, loop support in songs
and unlimited Undo/Redo capabilities.

Vstserver is a program that must be running when using programs
using vstlib.
Vstlib is a library that can be used by programs to run windows
vst audio plugins under i386linux/i386freebsd/i386solaris/i386etc.
(May require som modifications for other os-es than i386linux).
A tutorial for vst plugins in linux can be found here:
http://www.djcj.org/LAU/quicktoots/toots/vst-plugins/
A list of some of the plugins working and not working:
http://80.61.20.184/vst/
0.3.0 -> 0.3.1:
-Added a watchdog for the processthread if its running SCHED_FIFO. If the
processthread use more than 10 seconds to process a chunk, it should be
killed. Tested with an endless loop, and it seems to work.
-Added "make install" and "make uninstall".
-Updated the INSTALL file. The installation should now be a bit easier.

Hi LAD'ers,
I'm happy to announce the first release (0.1) of lakai, a small tool package
that allows to exchange data (samples, programs) between a Linux PC and an
Akai sampler (S2000 tested; other 2xxx/3xxx models might work or not) over
SCSI. This permits "complete backup" and "complete restore" of the sampler
RAM contents.
Availability:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lakai (the web page was not updated yet)
Right now, everything is just shell-based, no GUI yet, and the tools are
rather rudimentary, the source is ugly and sprinkled with TODOs and printf's
etc. pp., but at least it WorksForMe(tm). I welcome comments, success stories
and bug reports, but my answers might take a while :-). All further info is
in the archive in the README - read it, it took me a while to put it together.
This stuff comes rather late - in fact, I created this sourceforge project
more than 4 years ago, and I have only been working on it very rarely for
a long time (and it's even quite small). The S2xxx model samplers are only
available second-hand today, and software-based samplers (like
http://www.linuxsampler.org) are already on the way. I am still very proud
that I finally got this baby out of the door. Ha! :-).
Enjoy,
Frank

hi...
i have released galan-0.3.0_beta3
can be downloaded at
http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/galan/galan-0.3.0_beta3.tar.gz
while www.sf.net is down.
This version has several fixes for loading files.
so if you tried out some earlier 0.3.0 and could not load your
files back in. then try again.
i have built a 16-band vocoder. (it still has to be tuned a little)
you will get your control panel full of knobs you may try :)
a voice allocator is there now. and i updated the midi in gsheet a
little. this allows to build polyphonic synths finally.
the blop adsr can be used to correctly support note on and off.
have fun with it.

+++ AGNULA @ FOSDEM 2004
The AGNULA-IST project will be at FOSDEM [0] (Bruxelles, 21-22
February 2004) to hold a lightning talk and discuss about the project
with all interested parties.
+++
The AGNULA-IST project will be at FOSDEM (Free and Open source
Software Developers' European Meeting, 21-22 February 2004).
We will hold a lightning talk about the past, the present and the
future of the AGNULA project on Sun 22 February, from 12:45 a.m to
01:00 pm. Please notice that the actual scheduling of lightning talks
is subject to changes at the last moment - although *all* talks should
take place on Sunday morning.
Nicola Bernardini (AGNULA-IST Coordinator), Andrea Glorioso
(AGNULA-IST Technical Manager) and Damien Cirotteau (AGNULA/DeMuDi
tester and scientific advisor) will be at FOSDEM for the entire
duration of the event.
We hope to meet all interested parties - developers, documentation
writer, musicians, users, whatever you do if you have an interest in
AGNULA, in Libre Software and Audio/Video - in Bruxelles and be able
to discuss with you what's good, what's bad and what could be better
inside AGNULA.
+++
About AGNULA: Agnula (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution,
pronounced with a strong g) is the name of a project funded by the
European Commission (number of contract: IST-2001-34879; key action
IV.3.3, Free Software: towards the critical mass). The project aims
to spread Free Software in the professional audio/video arena.
About FOSDEM: the Free and Open Source Software Developers' European
Meeting is a 2 days event, organized by volunteers, to promote the
widespread use of Free and Open Source software. Taking place in the
beautiful city of Brussels, Belgium FOSDEM meetings are recognised as
the best Free and Open Source events in Europe.

BACKGROUND
The use of computers in music is well established. CMMR 2004 provides
an opportunity to meet and interact with peers concerned with the
cross-influence of the technological and creative in computer music.
The field of computer music is interdisciplinary by nature and closely
related to a number of computer science and engineering areas such as
information retrieval, programming, human computer interaction,
digital libraries, hypermedia, artificial intelligence, acoustics,
signal processing, etc.
CMMR 2004 invites researchers, educators, composers, performers, and
others with an interest in important aspects of computer music
(including modeling, retrieval, analysis, and synthesis) to come join
us for a unique event.
TOPICS
Original contributions on the following (and other relevant) topics
are encouraged:
infrastructures for music
- music digital libraries modeling
- representation and language modeling
- distributed system infrastructures
indexing and retrieval of music
- metadata
- standards
- protocols
- query languages
- advanced information retrieval
structuring of music data
- hypermedia
- structural computing
collaboration on music
- computer supported cooperative work
analysis, recognition, comparison, classification, and modeling of music
- pattern recognition
- signal processing
- algoritmics
- parsing
mining and visualizing music
- data mining
- visualization
synthesis (composition) of music
- models for synthesis
- automated composition
user interfaces for music
- human computer interaction
FORMAT
The symposium will be structured in a traditional manner with paper
presentations. However, there will also be scheduled time for
presentation of computer musical compositions.
SUBMISSIONS
Submissions may have any of the following forms:
Full paper (7 - 10 pages)
Short paper (3 - 5 pages)
Computer musical compositions
All papers will be reviewed by the program committee and accepted
papers will be published after the symposium as post-event proceedings
in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
Series.
IMPORTANT DATES
Full papers due March 1, 2004
Short papers due March 1, 2004
Musical pieces due March 1, 2004
