Application
===========
gnome-chord 0.7.0
Description
===========
A stand alone guitar chord and scale database and bonobo component
providing chord/scale renderering and selection.
Enhancements
============
* A new tree based UI for Gnome-chord.
* You can now select multiple chords.
* A renderer for Gnome-Scale (you can now see the scales on the guitar
neck :).
* You can now search for chords that will compliment a given scale via
the Tree Creator Dialog

GStreamer Pipeline Editor "Thanks for all the fish" 0.2.0 released
A first release of gst-editor, the GStreamer graphical pipeline
editor, is now available for public consumption! This tool allows
easy, graphical construction, inspection, and operation of media
processing pipelines. It can be used as a rapid prototyping tool as
well as a method to learn more about [1]GStreamer. More information
about gst-editor is available on the project's [2]home page.
Work on gst-editor was originally started in 2000 by Erik Walthinsen,
but was left unfinished and unmaintained for a year or two.
Development was picked up in mid-2002 by Andy Wingo, resulting in a
port to Gnome 2, adaptation to the current GStreamer API, and general
UI improvements and modularization. While much progress has been made
in the area of stabilization, crashes still occur from time to time.
Reproduceable bugs should be reported to [3]Gnome bugzilla.
To rehash, for the impatient: THIS CODE IS VERY ALPHA.
Screenshots
* Thomas Vander Stichele took [4]this shot while designing the
pipeline topology for a radio station mixing project:
"It shows two decoding threads that read files from disk,
connected to an adder, which does threaded output (in the
actual app, osssink is replaced again by tee, which sends
data to various output methods).
"After some experimentation, this seemed to be the ideal
pipeline setup, which I was able to verify by setting the
whole pipeline to play (using the buttons at the bottom), then
only pausing the adder (as shown in the screenshot - see the
adder being in pause and everything else in play). Pressing
pause here kept osssink playing for a little bit more until
the queue is empty. In the app, this gives me the time to
disconnect an input pipe, or connect a new one, with the adder
being paused, so as to have seamless playback."
* Andy made [5]this shot while playing around with [6]LADSPA
plugins. Note the automatically generated controls for element
properties, as well as the quick launch palette showing all
available elements.
Download
gst-editor requires GStreamer 0.4.1. It could probably work with
0.4.0, but that is untested.
You can find the source release of gst-player in [7]tar.gz format.
RPM packages will be available from our [9]apt for rpm repository, and
Debian packages should be coming soon to an experimental near you.
Maintainer needed
Andy is heading off to teach physics in rural Namibia for two years.
Needless to say, he won't be doing much development on the editor.
Patches should be submitted to the [10]gstreamer-devel mailing list.

New in Ceres 0.32 -> 0.33
-------------------------
-Fixed time-stretching. Time-stretch did not work
in any of the 0.3x versions.
-The Open-file file-requester shows info about the soundfiles.
-Fixed the default-values in the makefile, which was
wrong in 0.32.

Just a quick note to let you know there is now a sourceforge page for SSM:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/spiralmodular/
The CVS version is a bit ropey at the moment, but feel free to check it out
and flood the bug tracker :)
All the best,

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.
New in V0.08 -> 0.10
-Using gtk instead of motif. The reason is cleaner code
because of better python-support, and more portable.
-Buttons in the main-window.
-Support for 16,24 and 32 bits soundfiles, not only 16 bits.
-Support for float and double soundfiles.
-Fixed filenamebugs in combsplit and reimsplit
-Replaced libaudiofile with libsndfile.
-Removed soundfile length limitation.
-Removed some warnings.
-Playing internally from program using sndlib.
-Added undo/redo. (currently hardcoded to 300000 levels)

Mammut is developed at Notam/Oslo, http://www.notam02.no

Hi All,
This month (October) we have a chat with Richard Bown about
the sequencer and notation program rosegarden.
Other features are: Angus Morrison talking about his beautiful
little PC's with mini-motherboards and machined aluminum
cases which will run alternate OS's on compact flash cards.
...plus our usual reviews and stuff.
Cheers
John
We have recently ported our frequency-domain audio analysis library
Maaate to the Windows platform and fixed some minor bugs and compile
warnings.
This is the announcement of Maaate Version 0.3.0 available for Linux,
Windows and Solaris.
(It uses bewdy 0.2.2 for visualisation under Linux only.)
http://www.cmis.csiro.au/maaate/
Maaate:
=======
Maaate is a C++ frequency domain audio analysis toolkit.
http://www.cmis.csiro.au/maaate/docs/index.html
Maaate is a set of libraries supporting frequency-domain based feature
analysis. Although it currently only works on MPEG compressed audio
files in the compressed domain, the interface to plug-in other file
formats (uncompressed or compressed) exists. Maaate also contains some
30 audio feature extraction, segmentation and classification algorithms.
It's all published under the GNU GPL.
Download it from: http://www.cmis.csiro.au/maaate/docs/download.html
Highlights of Maaate version 0.3.0:
- a generic frequency-domain based analysis framework
- a specific MPEG compressed (frequency) domain analysis library
- 30 analysis modules covering
* energy features (usable for loudness statistics),
* bandwidth features (usable for speech/music segmentation),
* spectral statistics (usable for sound type distinction),
* silence statistics (usable for speech/music segmentation),
* noise features (usable for explosion or crowd cheer detection),
* generic segmentation algorithms (thresholds on features) and
* some generic statistical algorithms (histogram, variance).
- extensive documentation on all modules is also available
online (http://www.cmis.csiro.au/maaate/docs/modules.html)
- works under Linux, Windows and Solaris
Bewdy :
=======
Play around with the compressed audio content of MP3 files under Linux!
http://www.cmis.csiro.au/maaate/bewdy/index.html
Bewdy is a program to visualise frequency domain audio feature analysis
and segmentation algorithms. For example, it can display the spectral
content of an MPEG audio file in the compressed domain and allows you to
play around with analysis algorithms on that data. It uses the (MPEG)
Maaate libraries for that purpose and can thus load up any analysis
module that is implemented for Maaate.
The pictures at http://www.cmis.csiro.au/maaate/snapshots.html and at
http://www.cmis.csiro.au/maaate/bewdy/docs/handbook.html show off more
of bewdy.

About CSIRO audio analysis research:
====================================
Here at CSIRO, an Australian government research organisation, we
perform research into the analysis of music and sound. We create
software to unravel the structure and texture of recorded audio, and we
develop systems which make use of the information extracted. Examples of
such systems include searching for music features and indexing
soundtracks. Much of our work is available as open source software.
