[linux-audio-announce] ecasound 2.3.1 released

by Kai Vehmanen

1. A short summary of changes Ecasound's emacs mode, ecasound.el, has been updated to version 0.8.3. Due to severe bugs found in the native Python ECI implementation, the C implementation has been again set as the default. Minor interoperability problems with older JACK releases and Ecasound have been fixed. A bug that caused builds against an external libreadline to fail, has been fixed. Also recording problems with the WinTv 401Dbx and other bt878-based devices have been fixed. This release is compatible with the upcoming alsa-lib-1.0 releases. --- 2. What is Ecasound? Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package. Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed under the LGPL. --- 3. Changes since last release Full list of changes is available at <http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/history.html>. --- 4. Interface and configuration file changes None. --- 5. Contributors Patches - Accepted code, documentation and build system changes Mario Lang (ecasound.el updated to 0.8.3, doc typo fixes) Junichi Uekawa (ecasound makefile bug, doc generation using Hevea) Kai Vehmanen (various) Bug Hunting - Reports that led to bugfixes (items closed) Hirendra Hindocha (2) -- recording problems with WinTv 401dbx, ecacontrol.py bugs Stefan Bundt (1) -- ecacontrol.py breaks under heavy load Dave Phillips (1) -- errors in EIAM help Junichi Uekawa (1) -- compability bug with older JACK versions --- 6.

[linux-audio-announce] Ann. Vstserver V0.2.8 and Ladspavst V0.1.5

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

These updates makes it possible to use windows vst plugins in linux applications getting very descent realtime performance. I have successfully ran vst plugins in ardour with 2.66 ms latency. Sources: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ Linux Vst Compatibility Page http://80.61.20.184/vst/ Tutorial: http://www.djcj.org/LAU/quicktoots/toots/vst-plugins/ Mandrake binaries: (not the latest versions (yet)) http://rpm.nyvalls.se/sound9.1.html Vstserver 0.2.7 -> 0.2.8: ------------------------- -Added SCHED_FIFO priority and locking all mem (mlockall) to the processing thread. Can be used without being root by for example using the givertcap program by Tommi Ilmonen http://www.tml.hut.fi/~tilmonen/givertcap/ To turn off realtime priority, start the vstserver with either the "-NRT" or "--nonrealtime" flag. vst ladspa plugin v0.1.5 - stable ---------------------------------- -Fixed the worst nonrealtimeness for the default mode. When using realtime priority on the vstserver, it should not be necesarry to set LADSPAVST_RT to "1". --

[linux-audio-announce] ANNOUNCE: QSynth 0.0.1 - Qt interface to fluidsynth

by Richard Bown

We'd like to announce the first alpha release of QSynth, a Qt front end to fluidsynth inspired by qjackctl and brought to you by Rui Nuno Capela (qjackctl), Richard Bown (Rosegarden) and Chris Cannam (Rosegarden). QSynth provides a simple front and configuration interface to the fluidsynth software synthesiser to allow persistent storage of fluidsynth configuration (and soundfonts) as well as providing visual feedback and front panel controls for software synthesiser parameters. QSynth can be used either as a standalone player or in conjunction with any compatible sequencers. For more details, screenshots, mailing list details and to download the source code please visit: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net Requirements are Qt3.1.1 and libfluidsynth. Please let us know how you get on with it! R

[linux-audio-announce] JACK-0.90.0 Released

by Taybin Rutkin

********JACK 0.90.0******** JACK is a low-latency audio server, written primarily for the GNU/Linux operating system. It can connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves. Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as normal applications), or can they can run within the JACK server (ie. as a "plugin"). JACK is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional audio work. This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients, and low latency operation. Source packages for Jack 0.90.0 are available http://sourceforge.net/projects/jackit/ . ********Major Changes******** Buffers can resize during operation. This can be triggered by the user or by the function jack_set_buffer_size(). See the documentation for details. It is new code and still needs a shakedown. It can be enabled with './configure --enable-resize'. If not compiled in, jack_set_buffer_size() returns ENOSYS. Applications should be prepared for it though. Major rewrite of the thread model. This won't affect users. Thanks to the rewrite, jack now has a "freewheeling" mode for faster than realtime operation. It decouples the engine from the soundcard. The alsa driver has 3 new options. --i, --inchannels sets the number of channels to open for input. --o, --outchannels sets the number of channels to open for output. -S, --shorts changes the order of in which the sampleformats are tried. The driver will try to use 16bit samples first and only tries 32bit if this fails. Useful if you digitaloutput card supports 32bit samples but your interface doesn't. ********Minor Changes******** Greatly increased support for other architectures. --version also prints out the temporary directory. Example clients expanded to be more helpful. Many bug fixes. Updated and improved documentation. Portaudio driver works on linux. jack_connect() returns EEXIST if a connection is already made. Addition of jack_get_current_transport_frame (). hw:0 is the default ALSA device instead of "default". Jack's build system has better optimization. --silent option for halting jackd's output. Removal of --tmpdir and --asio options. Will compile with alsa-lib-1.0.0pre1 (the latest). ********Other******** Jack now has a mantis bugtracker at http://jackit.sf.net/mantis/ . Please use that for bug reports. James has written a tutorial for jack programmers available at http://dis-dot-dat.net/jacktuts/starting/index.html . ********Deprecated******** These are deprecated structures and functions that have been deprecated. They will likely be removed in a future release. The jack_transport_info_t struct has been deprecated. Please use jack_position_t instead. jack_engine_takeover_timebase() has been deprecated. Please use jack_set_timebase_callback() instead. jack_set_server_dir() has been deprecated. jack_get_transport_info() has been deprecated. Please use jack_transport_query() instead. jack_set_transport_info() has been deprecated. Instead, define a JackTimebaseCallback.

[linux-audio-announce] Ann. Mammut V0.16

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

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. 0.15 -> 0.16 -Tiny source cleanup. -Upgraded the included sndlib i386-binary to latest version. This one includes jack-support. http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ --
