ICAD 2020
Call for Submission of Papers, Extended Abstracts, Workshops, and
Tutorials
26th International Conference on Auditory Display
University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA
June 7-11, 2020
THEME: “SAFE AND SOUND”
Sound is used in a wide variety of applications to alert listeners to
the status of a person or environment. At ICAD 2020, we want to
highlight sonification work that is used to maintain awareness in some
capacity (outside navigation, hospitals, air traffic control, etc).
Papers are not limited to this theme, as we will value and embrace all
types of submissions, including papers, posters, multimedia
(videos/audios), demos, and concert pieces.
First held in 1992, ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary academic
conference with relevance to researchers, practitioners, musicians, and
students interested in the design of sounds to support tasks, improve
performance, guide decisions, augment awareness, and enhance
experiences. It is unique in its singular focus on auditory displays and
the array of perception, technology, and application areas that this
encompasses. Like its predecessors, ICAD 2020 will be a single-track
conference, open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements.
ICAD 2020, the 26th International Conference on Auditory Display, will
be held at the University of Florida, June 7 to 11, 2020. The graduate
student ThinkTank (doctoral consortium) will be held on Sunday, June 7,
before the main conference.
PAPERS AND EXTENDED ABSTRACTS
The ICAD 2020 committee is seeking papers and extended abstracts that
will contribute to knowledge of how sonification can support awareness
in various contexts. For details on topics of interest, proposal format,
submission instructions, and additional conference information please
visit http://icad2020.icad.org, where details will be updated as they
are made available.
WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS
ICAD workshops and tutorials provide in-depth opportunities for
conference attendees to discuss and explore important aspects of the
field of auditory display with like-minded researchers and
practitioners. Sessions can range from applications and programming
methodologies to interdisciplinary research skills, emerging research
areas, and challenge problems, to sonification/compositional Maker-sessions.

*
Monday,March 2,2020 - Deadline for submission of full papers

Now out!
For ALSA MIDI there is a search mode where Yoshimi will connect to every
readable source it can find.
There has been a correction to Scales note and frequency allocation terminology.
The mixer panel format can now be changed from Yoshimi->Settings.
The CLI has additional controls, particularly in banks and roots management.
Other stuff.
We've had to do an update to allow for the change in the MXML API.
Dots and dashes in grids are now solid lines. They render much faster.
Session/State/Config managment is now unified. More system settings can be
changed by these files as Yoshimi instances start.
The Advanced User Manual has been significantly updated.
More details on all of these are in /doc/Yoshimi_1.6.1_features.txt
Yoshimi source code is available from either:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi
Or:
https://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi
Full build instructions are in 'INSTALL'.
Our list archive is at:

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
The stable version of fluidsynth 2.1 has been released, featuring a
new reverb engine, stereophonic chorus, support for DLS, and more.
Details can be found in the release notes:
Download: https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/releases/tag/v2.1.0
API: http://www.fluidsynth.org/api/
Website: http://www.fluidsynth.org
FluidSynth is a real-time software synthesizer based on the
SoundFont(tm) 2 specifications. It can read MIDI events from the MIDI
input device and render them to the audio device. It can also play
MIDI files.

I like to announce the release for Xmonk.lv2 version 0.3
Xmonk is a sound generator based on the Faust `SFFormantModelBP` from
physmodels.lib by Mike Olsen.
It's a monophonic formant/vocal synthesizer.
The source is a sawtooth wave and the "filter" is a bank of resonant
bandpass filters.
Xmonk provide a interface to drive the filter/synthesizer via mouse
movement.
Additional Xmonk provide a midi in port to drive it with any midi
controller.
This release fix some issues with the implementation for external midi gear,
and implement a sustain controller, so sustain could be set from none to
infinity.
On top Xmonk provide a virtual keyboard to drive it with your PC
keyboard/mouse combination.
Surely you could use your DAW automation to drive it the way you want.
Xmonk could be used with a free scaled temperament, or as selected with
Equal Tempered scales from 12 to 53.
Here you get it:
https://github.com/brummer10/Xmonk.lv2/releases/tag/0.3https://github.com/brummer10/Xmonk.lv2
So, have some fun with it,

Ladies and Gentlemen,
hereby the Laborejo Software Suite releases critical maintenance updates
for its programs.
Fluajho 1.4.1, Patroneo 1.4.1 and Vico 1.0.1
All programs shared a crash at startup(!) and a broken GUI on high-DPI
screens, which now have been fixed.
Additionally the underlying realtime audio/midi library is not a Python
module anymore, which makes compilation and
packaging easier.
Signed downloads can be found here:
https://laborejo.org/downloads/
More information about the programs and full multi-language manuals can
be found on the website
https://www.laborejo.org/
Greetings,
Nils, Laborejo Software Suite

Xmonk could play in two different modes, on is the usual note on/off,
the other is sustain, means the last note play forever, while you play
with the vowel filter settings.
Xmonk could be used with a free scaled temperament, or as selected with
Equal Tempered scales from 12 to 53.

Dear all,
This weekend the linuxaudio.org VM's will have to be moved to a
different cloud region which could lead to some downtime of services
provided by linuxaudio.org (i.e. mail and web sites). We'll try to keep
impact as low as possible and are aiming at a seamless migration. This
migration is necessary because the cloud region linuxaudio.org now lives
in is being phased out. We'll keep you posted about the progress.
Best regards,
Jeremy
