ametro 0.4 - ALSA MIDI Metronome
********************************
This program is a little, simple MIDI Metronome using the ALSA sequencer,
made in Kylix (Object Pascal) and using ALSAPAS: ALSA Library Bindings for
Pascal.
Bug reports and comments are welcome.
Sources, binary and RPM packages for Mandrake 9.1 are available here:

Enjoy!
Hi all,
This is not a release of any new code; it's just a trivial compilation
fix for the 0.3 tree:
* fixed a missing #include

TODO:
internally assigning jack i/os
multiple interfaces - Long interface
- Tall interface (current)
extra button functionality - mostly for ease of use
unlimited channel support (mostly a gui design issue)
variety of xfader gain slopes for better mixing.
MIDI fader console support.
Enjoy.

I strongly advice to upgrade to this version!
I think that Tkeca is becoming in a serious recording tool.
Changes:
A LOT !!!

This is just to let those who are interested know that I just commited
some fixes which greatly improve the sound quality in jackEQ and allow
the crossfaders to be fully functional including mute and all fader options.
Apart from being able to internally assign jack i/os I feel this version
qualifies for professional mixing use. To prove that I am going to be
using it live everyday for the next week while being paid to do so :)
Still only available from cvs you may need to wait a day or two to get
the newest version depending on the sf lag at the moment.

Resonances 2003 : Linux install party and "Free software for music"
workshop
Ircam organizes within the Resonances 2003 event a Linux install party
and a workshop dedicated to free sofware for music.
The "Free software for music" day will make a tour on free musical and
professional audio software, the evolution of Linux towards an easier
use, compatibility with audio equipment, audio drivers and MIDI.
Date : Thursday, October 23rd, 2003, 10:00am to 06:00pm
Venue : Ircam, Studio 5
Access conditions : Free entrance upon registration :
Sylvie.Benoit(a)ircam.fr
The Linux install party is dedicated to musical free software, to make
you discover the AGNULA distributions and the Planet CCRMA packages.
Date : October 18th-19th, 2003, 12pm to 8pm
Venue : Ircam, salle Olivier Messiaen
Access conditions : Free entrance upon reservation :
Francois.Dechelle(a)ircam.fr or

I strongly advice to upgrade to this version!
I think that Tkeca is becoming in a serious recording tool.
Changes:
- Tkeca don't use ewf files anymore, now each track has only one
associated wave file. This is because sometimes ewf files generates sync
problems
- Allows to start recording in the middle of a wave file
- Punch-in and punch-out positions in the locate window (Thanks to Rocco
for suggest this feature and helping me to test it)
- Automatic "Go to 00:00" after punching and after play/record for a
time longer than the longest wave file
- Effect menu was improved, now you can see the name of the attached
effect and it status.
- Added "Wave File Delete" command to Tools button
- Automatic filename extension when exporting to .ecs
- "Exported to..." message after exporting to ecs
- Enlarged pan and volume faders
- Enlarged "Options" window
- The way Tkeca generates the chainsetup was improved
- "Time Format" button was added. It allows to switch between MM:SS and
SSSS. Useful for old Ecasound users who use to work with seconds
- "Wave Files" window no longer in this version
- The main window was simplified
- The general "Recording" checkbox was eliminated

Hi to all;
it's time to do some presentations, so I begin... ( please, sorry for my
"sometimes" bad english language... )
1)- OpenJay.org
Some months ago I was thinking about the reasons that make the software DJ
oriented lacking under Linux environment. One reason could be an incomplete
audio API, but now with ALSA there is no problem at my advice. Another
reason could be that Linux is less wide-spread, but this point too is
falling with time. So why?
I came to the conclusion that people don't know so much what we can do with
a stable and powerful audio Linux workstation. Linux audio sites are used to
show so much programs but little reviews, little demos... In my experience I
visited thousand of software pages showing tons of changelogs without saying
what the program is made for! So if people don't know what Linux could do,
developers aren't desirous to develop new improved applications cause the
market request is lacking... This could be a reason, but it is not all the
problem. One another issue could be the high level know-how required to make
work a Linux audio workstation. The common problem is that Linux
applications are usually developed by programmers thinking to other
programmers and not to common users.
Ok...from all this stuff came my idea to build OpenJay.org, a site dedicated
to OpenSource DJs. I thinked OpenJay expressly to show the Linux audio
power, giving evidence to the audio applications with reviews, tips, tricks
and making easier the life of the OpenSource audio maniac ( as I am ). In
the last 3/4 months I worked in this direction. You can see some result at
http://www.openjay.org thinking however that actually all is done from me (
only me ). I hope in the future in the community help with lot of
contributions ;-), cause my sapre time is limited and there is lot of
work...
2)- Jay'O'Rama 0.5.0 ( http://www.openjay.org/jayorama/ )
With the same spirit I shown over, I began to build my personal DJ oriented
application: Jay'O'Rama ( J'O'R ).
This application actually is a pcm player ( using Alsaplayer ), capable of 4
player sessions over the same audio manager ( using Jack ). The binary is
not completely stable and there are a lot of strange behaviours to be
corrected, however it is in someway functional.
Features:
0)- QT interface
0)- Mp3, Ogg and Wav formats supported
0)- M3u playlist support
0)- Mju new playlist format created: allows to collect more data
0)- Gjay data syncronization: you can grab some useful information, as bpm
0)- Audio item sorting
0)- Fine pitch, bpm, pan, volume shift. All customizable
0)- Cue and loop sets. Possibility to store them
0)- New configuration system allowing customizable shortcuts and other stuff
0)- New looping console
0)- bpm fine showing, using Gjay data
0)- Autoplay possibility
0)- Multiplayer feature: max 4 players on the same manager over a Jack
server session
Finally you could find the CVS tree at the sourceforge page:
Cheers to all,

Using VST Plugins In Linux written by Dave Phillips.
For some this is part of the holy grail for Linux audio. For others it's
just a useful addition to the fold. Whatever way you look at it we are
vastly richer in our tool base thanks to the efforts of Kjetil
Matheussen and some handy miracles from the Wine development project.
In this toot Dave gives an indepth introduction to using VST plugins in
a Linux env.
-----------------------------------
The purpose of the Quicktoots are to provide a community resource of
informative guides for using Linux audio applications.
The Quicktoots are the brainchild of Dave Phillips the man responsible
for the most comprehensive webpage devoted to Linux audio applications.
The Linux Sound and Midi page. Your one stop resource for Linux sound
software.
http://www.linux-sound.org
If you are in the position to link to any of the quicktoots please link
to the main page. That way we can keep more accurate statistics on the
amount of people viewing the pages.
If you are interested in contributing to the Quicktoots please let us
know. All work must be submitted to either Dave or myself and we will
give advice or make changes to ensure our publishing standard is met. If
you are not able to send html don't worry because I am willing to format
any braindumps.
Enjoy.
