Get the source code at http://amsynthe.sourceforge.net/amSynth
Changes in this release:
* you've been waiting for it -- JACK audio output support!!
* completely revised ./configure & build system - will adapt features to
libraries installed, proper 'make install' target...
* launch a virtual keyboard from the amSynth menu!
* transparent per-user installation for first time users

Hi all,
Just to share the good news that Linux got some exposure in the latest
edition of the Organised Sound journal (pub. by UK's Cambridge
Journals).
Stuff covered is RTMix, as well as JACK/Linux audio. Big thanks go to
Paul Davis for the help with the benchmark info, as well as everyone
else in the Linux community who have made Linux a formidable multimedia
platform.
For more info on the journal see (it's just an abstract page about the
actual journal -- I am still trying to find out how to locate the darn
article online :-)

1. A short summary of changes
Sliders for parameter control and text inputs for
lower and upper bounds have been added as well as
support for LADSPA-1.1 and ecasound effect parameter
hints. There has been some user interface improvements
and a native JACK support has been added. Updated to
use the new ecasound-2.2 libraries.
---
2. What is ecamegapedal?
Ecamegapedal is a real-time effect processor software with
a graphical user interface for controlling the effect
parameters. It is meant to be used as a virtual guitar-fx
or studio effect box. In addition to real-time operation,
ecamegapedal also supports reading from and writing to audio
files. All audio object and effect plugin types provided by the
ecasound libraries are supported. This includes ALSA, JACK,
OSS, aRts, over 20 file formats, over 30 effect types, LADSPA
plugins and multi-operator effect presets. Ecamegapedal's
implementation is based on ecasound and Qt libraries.
Ecamegapedal is licensed under the GPL.
---
3. Changes since the last stable release
* Added native JACK support. If compiled with JACK support
enabled, ecamegapedal will upon startup fetch the
current engine parameters from the JACK server, and
initialize the ecamegapedal configuration to work
with JACK. In practice this means that you don't
have to manually set the buffersize and sample rate
parameters to use ecamegapedal with JACK.
* Support for LADSPA-1.1 and ecasound effect parameter
hints.
* Text inputs for overriding default upper and lower
bounds for parameter values.
* Sliders for controlling parameter values.
* Pixmaps for transport control buttons.
* Takes advantage of the newly released ecasound 2.2.0
libraries (does not work with older ecasound releases).
* Should work with all released Qt2 and Qt3 versions.
Tested with qt-2.3.2, qt-3.0.5 and qt-3.1.1.

I've fixed some build issues and theoretically made it slightly more
efficient. If you managed to build 0.0.1 theres no real point in you
upgrading.
Theres also now a webpage of sorts, with a screenshot ;)

k_jack is a jack reimplementation, and mammut is a very special sound
transformating sound editor.
Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/
New in mammut v0.14->v0.15:
---------------------------
-Removed the synth transform. It was not supposed to be there and had no
function.
-Fixed the wobble transform. Segfaulted with mono-files. (Bug found
by Dave Phillips)
k_jack V0.0.0.5 ALPHA - EXPERIMENTAL
-------------------------------------
ABOUT
k_jack currently consists of k_jackd~, libk_jack and libaipc.
k_jackd~ is a jack server external for pure-data.
libk_jack is (supposed to be) a (somewhat) libjack compatible
library.
Jack applications that want to contact k_jackd~ instead
of jackd must (somehow) be linked with libk_jack and
libaipc instead of libjack.
k_jackd~ does not speak with libjack, and jackd does not
speak with libk_jack.
libaipc is a library for audio interprocess communication,
based on code from the vstserver. A preview version is
included with this version of k_jack. (API is not settled.)
By using libaipc for interprocess communication, and letting
PD take care of various low/mid/high-level audio-stuff,
only a few hundred lines of code is currently used for this
implementation of a simple jack system.
k_jackd~ and libk_jack are not based on the jack sourcecode
found at jackit.sf.net, except for protos in the header files.
COMPILE
1. Go into the aipc/src folder and write make to compile up
libaipc.a
2. Go into the library folder and write make to compile up
libk_jack.a
3. Write make to compile up k_jack~.pd_linux.
4. Relink you jack application(s) somehow.
USAGE
1. Start pd with the "-lib k_jackd~" option.
2. Start a jack application linked with libk_jack.
3. Make an object in pd called "k_jackd~ <clientname>".
Correct number of inlets and outlets will be made
automaticly.
That should be it. Later, when things get more stable, point 3
can do point 2 automaticly.
WHY
use k_jackd~ ?
1. Simple. Only the clientname is used, not the portnames.
2. Easy and powerful interface to control the audioflow.
3. Good performance. Shouldn't be necessary to run as root.
TESTED CLIENTS
simple_client, freqtweak, ceres.
BUGS
Crashes pretty often. Does not clean up. Huge risk of not
freeing shared memory in the current implementation: Client
must exit before server, and client must not crash. And
server must not crash.
CONTACT
Send ideas (especially about the k_jackd~ object syntax),
comments (especially about the libaipc API), questions,
code, food, etc. to k.s.matheussen(a)notam02.no

Ecawave will no longer be actively developed. The Linux audio application
scene has changed drastically since January of 2000 when the first version
of ecawave was released. Nowadays there are many FOSS (free and open
source software) audio file editors available for you to choose from. As
replacements to ecawave I recommend:
- Audacity
- GLAME
- GNUsound
- Sweep
- ... check the list at:

My thanks to all who have participated in ecawave
development!

Sat Jan 18 2003 -- Sweep 0.8.0 Released
=======================================
Sweep is an audio editor and live playback tool for GNU/Linux, BSD and
compatible systems. It supports many music and voice formats including
WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, Speex and MP3, with multichannel editing and
LADSPA effects plugins. Inside lives a pesky little virtual stylus called
Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files.
This release is available as a source tarball at:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.8.0.tar.gz?download
Latest News
-----------
This is the first milestone release for Sweep 1. Please test it thoroughly
for both general sample editing and live performance. For more information,
see http://www.metadecks.org/ .
Sweep has been selected as the killer app of the month for January 2003 by
Open Sound System (OSS), developers of the most widely used digital audio
architecture for UNIX! (http://www.opensound.com/)
New in Sweep 0.8.0:
* a new monitoring subsystem for use in DJing and live performance.
Users with two sound cards can use headphones for monitoring, to
prepare mixes and cue samples without disrupting the main output.
* A usability bug was fixed in keyboard playback controls
* the Italian translation of the user interface was updated by
Yuri Bongiorno.
New at metadecks.org:
Notes for the tutorial "Using Sweep: Fun with Scrubby" are now
available online in HTML, PostScript and PDF formats at:
http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/tutorials/
This is a brief overview of the tutorial given at linux.conf.au 2003
in Perth, Australia; the real thing is live and very, very loud.

Some interesting audio recordings of Scrubby are at:
http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/demos.html
Sweep is designed to be intuitive and to give you full control. It includes
almost everything you would expect in a sample editor, and then some:
* precise, vinyl like scrubbing
* looped, reverse, and pitch-controlled playback
* playback mixing of unlimited independent tracks
* looped and reverse recording
* internationalisation
* multichannel and 32 bit floating point PCM file support
* support for Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and Speex compressed audio files
* sample rate conversion and channel operations
* LADSPA 1.1 effects support
* multiple views, discontinuous selections
* easy keybindings, mouse wheel zooming
* unlimited undo/redo with fully revertible edit history
* multithreaded background processing
* shaded peak/mean waveform rendering, multiple colour schemes
Sweep is Free Software, available under the GNU General Public License.

development of this project.
