BEAST/BSE version 0.5.1 is available for download at:
ftp://beast.gtk.org/pub/beast/v0.5
or
http://beast.gtk.org/beast-ftp/v0.5
BEAST (the Bedevilled Audio SysTem) is a graphical front-end to
BSE (the Bedevilled Sound Engine), a library for music composition,
audio synthesis and sample manipulation. The project is hosted at:
http://beast.gtk.org
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 any GUI activities.
Note, the .bse file format hasn't completely stabilized yet,
so incompatibilities with future versions may occur.
Overview of Changes in BEAST/BSE 0.5.1:
* Added support for LADSPA plugins
* Improved synthesis network router display
* Documentation fixes
* Added support for dsp[0-3] and midi[0-3] devices
* Fixed memory leaks during playback

Greetings:
Once again I've updated the Linux soundapps sites. All sites are
current and can be accessed via these URLs :
http://linux-sound.org (USA)
http://www.linuxsound.at (Europe)

Many thanks to Frank Barknecht for his assistance with linuxsound.at.
Many thanks also to all my site providers: the mirrors have been donated
by their respective owners as a service to the community, for which I am
most grateful.
Enjoy !

Input Maps released
I have released a small collection of C code that provides
user-customizeable mappings for controlling realtime objects with event
streams: input maps.
You should be able to shoehorn this C code into your realtime host app if
you want to. There is a sample program that connects a simple example input
map to an alsa rawmidi device.
These input maps are small, simple and can be adapted to accomodate any
event type that is represented as a C struct.
Available at http://soundtank.sourceforge.net/input_maps
Features:
-input map = overall mapping for one realtime object
-submap = part of an input map handling one event parameter
-tests = tests performed on an event parameter
-actions = resulting actions taken upon match :
action types: remap to different input map, remap to different
submap in current input map, app-defined callback fxn
-route event function = runs an event through a set of input maps and
does the appropriate actions
Features NOT present yet:
-store/create input maps to/from xml
-map/test/action aliases
-implementation as a shared library

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 linux/freebsd/i386solaris/etc.
0.2.5 -> 0.2.6
--------------
-Updated to compile with the 8.4.2003cvs version of wine. This
version of Wine can be downloaded here:
http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/vstserver-0.2.6-wine.tar.gz
Other versions of wine may not (actually: usually not) work with
vstserver without tweaking the vstserver source.
Vstserver is made at Notam/Oslo and can be downloaded from here:

Demolition, my destruction testing tool for LADSPA plugins is now available
as a pre-release version. This is fully functional, but I want to get
some feedback from "users" (ie other LADSPA developers) before I call it
version 1.0
http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njl98r/code/ladspa/
(Don't be distracted by all the XMMS LADSPA stuff on the same page)
If you write LADSPA plugins, or if you maintain a LADSPA host and don't
think much of the quality of some plugins, this tool is for you. Please
run out and grab it. There is documentation linked from the same place
as the source code.
Now, at this point I could list a dozen or so bugs in famous LADSPA
plugin libraries, but I won't. If this tool works you should be able to
find them yourselves (all bugs are shallow...). I know Steve Harris
is already beavering away fixing the ones he's found in the swh-plugins.
Nick.
galan-0.3.0-test2 is released.
galan is a modular synthesizer featuring subpatches, event processing
logic and more.
LADSPA is supported.
you can build your own synthesizer interface, placing controls where you
want them.
I have ported the features added to the galan-0.2 branch up to the 0.3
branch.
- Lib directory is in place.
- liblrdf support.
- feedbacksafe delay added which enables you to have plugins in the
feedback path like in ams.
opengl does not work.
i have some troubles with the gtkglarea 1.99.0...
this caused me not to implement multiple jack output ports...
i have now given up on opengl and will add the multi outputs/inputs
next.
if you want opengl use galan-0.2... 0.2.15 will be released soon, when
the sheet library is updated and reorganized.

preferences window.
