k_jack is a jack reimplementation, and mammut is a very special sound
transformating sound editor.

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:

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.

Depends on SDL, SDL_image, jack and libsndfile.
I used to always keep a minidisc recorder in my studio running in a mode
where when you pressed record it wrote the last 10seconds of audio to the
disk and then caught up to realtime and kept recroding. The recorder died
and haven't been able to replace it, so this is a simple jack app to do
the same job. It has the advantage that it never clips and can be wired to
any part of the jack graph.
I've been using it to record occasional bursts of interesting noise from
jack apps feeding back into each other.
Usage: ./configure, make, make install, run jack_timemachine. Connect it
up with a patchbay app. To start recording click in the window. To stop
recording, click in the window.
It writes out 32bit float WAV files called tm-<time>.wav, where <time> is
the time the recording starts from.
The prebuffer time and number of channels are set in a macro, defaults are
10s and 2. It works on my machine, and I'l fix major bugs, but I don't
really have time to support another piece of software, so good luck :)
If anyone wants to maintain it, feel free.
May it preserve many interesting sounds for you,
Steve
Hi all,
Good job I'm getting a new hard disk soon and will be able to install
some other distros to test on :) Just build fixes with this release.
There was also a gtk-2.2-only function in there, which has been
gtk-2.0-ified.
* build fixes for gcc 2.9x from Fernando Pablo Lopez-Lezcano
* compiles with gtk 2.0 now (thanks to Fernando again)
* builds without lrdf now (thanks to Austin Acton)

Bob
Be gone foul bugs!
* fixed control output ports segfault
* fixed desktop installation prefix stuff
* fixed bug dealing with duplicate plugin ids
* now quits when you close the window
* added a "New" option to clear the rack
* rack is now automatically cleared when you load a file
http://pkl.net/~node/jack-rack.html
Bob
* Really fixes the UID clashes.
* Includes changes to make it build on ia64 and mips, thanks to Anand
Kumria.
I will now be walking around with a paper bag over my head for the next
few days.

The were some bugs in 0.3.4 so I'm releasing again. Sorry.
* UID clash with flanger and l/c/r delay [serious] - spotted by Bob Ham,
thanks
* SC4 had the wrong label [mild but anoying]
* autoconf script wasn't obeying CFLAGS [mild but anoying]
I believe that SC4 and the lookahead limiter might be causing problems
with some hosts as they have control outs. If you spot problems with these
and think its the host, please contact the author.
I know that ecasound and jack-rack handle it fine.
