This is the first release of a voice controlled, resonator based instrument
for the jack-audio-connection-kit. Playing it the first time it reminded me
to the sound and playing technique of a didgeridoo. Thats the reason for its
name.
Requirements:
- A microphone with near fields characteristics for instrument control.
- A headphone to avoid feedback.
- The jack-audio-connection-kit.
- A i586 compatible system running Linux.
Its available at http://www.linux-sound.org/rtsynth/
Your feedback is welcome.

Announcing Visecas version 0.3.5.
This is an interim release which fixes several serious bugs.
Hacking Gtk::Fileselection from Ruby on a Debian system (which currently
comes with a patched GtkFileselection) turned out to be a very bad idea
regarding portability.
New screenshots can be found on the web.
Thanks to all those who reported their problems with version 0.3.1.
Visecas is a graphical user interface (GTK+) for Ecasound
[http://eca.cx/ecasound], a software package written by Kai Vehmanen
which is designed for multitrack audio processing.
It aims to provide full access to all Ecasound's object by preserving
Ecasound's semantic (which means you do not edit tracks and regions but
chains and audio objects).
Please visit Visecas' webpage at http://visecas.sourceforge.net
This release fixes:
* broken audio objects' dialog
* malformed preferences file crashes
* silly behaviour with open/save as
* crash once one of several chainsetups was closed
* timeout problem (hopefully)
* minor bugs

The AGNULA project will join the GNU/Linux Audio Centre booth at
Sounds Expo 2004 (Wembley, London 10-12 February 2004).
Sounds Expo is a leading UK trade show aimed at musicians, producers
and sound engineers. Supported by Sound on Sound magazine, the event
has many of the leading companies in the sound and music recording
industry as exhibitors.
For the very first time, Free Software will be represented at Sounds
Expo with a booth dedicated to GNU/Linux based systems. This
participation has been made possible with the support of the AGNULA
project, the Sounds Expo organisers VCM Events, and Fervent
Software. The GNU/Linux Audio Centre is the first public initiative of
the newly-formed Linuxaudio.org consortium.
Damien Cirotteau of Tempo Reale Ricerca (the managing partner of the
AGNULA Consortium) will be our "AGNULA man" for the event. He will
show interested booth visitors our latest AGNULA/DeMuDi release
(1.1.0), answer your questions and record your feedback on the
software.
We are looking forward to seeing you at Sounds Expo 2004!

* Now uses GTK, instead of SDL to draw the window, hopefully a bit
more friendly on maintainers.
* Meters.
* Now records up to 8 channels (use the -c flag).
* Can set the output directory/file prefix (-p flag).
* Hiting the window close icon now makes sure you have all the data
written to disk.
I've a feeling that someone mailed me a patch and I've lost it and not
included it, so if its you please mail me again.
Enjoy,
Steve

JACK RELEASE 0.94.0
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.
JACK's webpage is at http://jackit.sf.net .
CHANGES:
Mostly minor, internal changes.
* Added missing extern "C" {} for better C++ support.
* Added missing copyright header.
* Better placement of watchdog check so it doesn't interfere with
freewheeling mode.
* Fixed option parsing problems
* ALSA driver reports actual samplerate, not requested samplerate.
* Handles hardware where playback and capture rates differ better.
* Support for native endian S24_3 format used by USB soundcards.
* jack_metro example ported to new transport API.
* cleaned up prototype declarations for jack_initialize_shm() and
jack_cleanup_shm().
* Eliminated calls to jack_error() when jack_client_new() fails
because the server was not running.
* Eliminated other calls to fprintf() in libjack.
* Won't try and compile iec61883 if libraw1394 is below
version 0.10.0.
* Internal bug fixes.
* Updated documentation.

AGNULA is proud to announce it has joined the Linuxaudio.org
Consortium [0], which brings together the leading projects and
companies working in the field of professional audio systems based on
Libre Software.
Linuxaudio.org is a not-for-profit consortium of companies and libre
software projects using Linux kernel based systems and other libre
software for audio work, with an emphasis on professional tools for
the music, recording and broadcast industries. The consortium aims to
co-ordinate joint projects between members, collaborate on the
promotion of Linux based systems for audio tasks, and provide a single
point of contact for prospective industry partners.
Inside the AGNULA project we are excited to join the Linux Audio
consortium. Since we base our work on the principle of maximum
co-operation, typical of Free Software projects, we can only applaud
the effort to unite the key GNU/Linux players in the audio software
industry and community. We are looking forward to contributing our
experience to the expertise provided by consortium members, with the
common goal of developing ever better Linux-based systems for
professional audio work.
Other members of the Linuxaudio.org consortium include:
ALSA project (supported by SUSE)
Ardour project
Audacity project
Boost Hardware
Core Sound
Dyne:bolic project
Fervent Software
4Front Technologies
JACK project
JAMin project
Linux Audio Systems

"There's no free expression without control on the tools you use"
[0] http://www.linuxaudio.org/
Quite a long time ago now, Richard Bown and I decided we were going to
set up a sort of magazine website for musicians using Linux. It
wouldn't be a developer site or a pro-audio site or even particularly
a technology site, it would just be a site for individuals who were
interested in doing music.
We registered the name linuxmusician.com, and then, inevitably,
contrived to do absolutely nothing at all with it for the next
eighteen months. It became very clear very quickly, as always, that
we simply wouldn't have the time to write a substantial amount of
material for it. The subsequent appearance of the handy QuickToots
site at djcj.org also seemed to reduce the need for some of the
content we'd been hoping to write or solicit.
Recently though we decided that enough was enough, and that we should
just launch the damn thing with the few contributions we could make
plus a community article-submission facility and at the least give it
the chance to flop gracelessly instead of never being launched at
all. So one install of Mambo later, and we present
http://www.linuxmusician.com/
At the moment there is one (1) complete article on there, plus two
brief stubs of articles; there's a links page with hardly any links
yet, and a copy of the bownie.com Guide to Home Recording. We will
continue to post stuff that we come up with, but also if you take a
moment to register you are then very welcome to submit articles,
news, and links. It's not a complete slash/scoop-style community
moderation system; for example, there's currently no comment system
at all. But we're very open to ideas and concoctions that other
people might want to suggest.
