Fwd: [Faudiostream-users] Forum Acusticum 2020: Special Session on Hybrid Acoustical and Digital Musical Instruments

by Yann Orlarey

---------- Forwarded message --------- De : Romain Michon <rmnmichon(a)gmail.com> Date: mer. 30 oct. 2019 à 16:16 Subject: [Faudiostream-users] Forum Acusticum 2020: Special Session on Hybrid Acoustical and Digital Musical Instruments To: faudiostream-users <faudiostream-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net> [Sorry for cross-posting] Dear Colleagues, We are organizing a special session on *Hybrid Acoustical and Digital Musical Instruments* at the next European Acoustics Meeting (*Forum Acusticum*: https://fa2020.universite-lyon.fr/) which will take place in *Lyon (France) on April 20-24, 2020*: --- *Summary of the Session* Nowadays, physical modeling, increasingly light and powerful embedded systems, as well as new digital fabrication techniques and sensor technologies allow us to approach lutherie and musical instrument design in a completely hybrid way. Digital 3D models can serve both as the source for a sound synthesizer thanks to physical modeling techniques (i.e., finite difference scheme, etc.) and can be "materialized" with 3D printing, blurring the boundary between the physical/acoustical and the virtual/digital worlds. Embedded systems based on an expending range of architectures such as microcontrollers, GPUs, FPGAs, microprocessors, etc. play an important role in this context by providing extended computational power to run complex models and by offering the possibility to make hybrid instruments more portable and standalone. Dedicated tools and platforms - both hardware (e.g., Bela, Owl, smartdevices, etc.) and software (e.g., Faust, Kronos, Soul, etc.) - have been developed in recent years to facilitate the design of such instruments. This adds up to the wide range of new sensor technologies and specialized commercial interfaces (e.g., Sensel Morph, ROLI Seaboard, LinnStrument, etc.) that have been created in recent years in this field. In this special session on "Hybrid Acoustical and Digital Musical Instruments," we invite paper submissions on the following *topics* (not limiting): - Programming languages for computer music and real-time signal processing - Digital sound synthesis and processing - Physical modeling of musical instruments - Hardware and embedded platforms for real time DSP - Human Computer Interaction (HCI) - New Interfaces for Musical Expression - New sensor technologies - Digital fabrication for lutherie and acoustics - Mobile music --- *Abstracts can be submitted* to the following address: https://fa2020.universite-lyon.fr/fa2020/english-version/navigation/abstrac… *until Dec. 1, 2019*. We look forward to see you in Lyon this Spring! Best, Romain Michon and Yann Orlarey GRAME-CNCM Lyon, France _______________________________________________ Faudiostream-users mailing list Faudiostream-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/faudiostream-users

DrumGizmo 0.9.18 released

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng

DrumGizmo 0.9.18 Released! DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup. This release is primarily a bugfix release but a few new features also managed to sneak in. Highlights: * Sample selection algorithm now behaves a lot better when using a small sample set. * Error reporting has been drastically improved when loading drum-kits. * Sample normalization option has been added. As usual read the detailed description of all the new shiny features, including some audio samples [1]. And now, without further ado, go grab 0.9.18!!!

rkr lv2 beta 3

by Spencer Jackson

Yo: I know this project has been in beta for a ridiculous amount of time, but I still haven't mustered the time and effort to give everything a proper test. However we have had a few community contributed fixes which warrants a new release. Thanks to Robin (x42) we now have a working Vibe effect and the bypass has been improved in all the effects (which probably won't be very noticeable to users). Happy LARD (Linux Audio Release Day)! https://github.com/ssj71/rkrlv2/releases/tag/beta_3 _Spencer (ssj71)

[ANN] midiomatic plugins 0.1.0 beta release

by Christopher Arndt

Hola, I'm pleased to announce version 0.1.0-beta2 of the *midiomatic* plugin collection as the first public beta release. What is it? ----------- *midiomatic* is a small collection of MIDI filter, generator and processor plugins in LV2 and VST2 format. This collection arose from the desire to test whether it is viable to implement MIDI processing plugins with the DISTRHO Plugin Framework (DPF). This is the first public release and the project is still considered to be in beta stage. The MIDISysFilter and MIDIPBToCC plugins are already considered stable but the MIDICCRecorder plugin is still experimental. I'm planning to add more plugins to the collection. Requests and ideas for plugins welcome. Where to get it? ---------------- https://github.com/SpotlightKid/midiomatic or, for Arch Linux users, from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/midiomatic/ *Share & Enjoy* Christopher Arndt

[ANN] python-rtmidi 1.3.1 released

by Christopher Arndt

Ciao tutti! I'm pleased to announce that version 1.3.1 of *python-rtmidi* has just been released! What is it? ----------- python-rtmidi is a Python binding for RtMidi, a set of C++ classes which provides a cross-platform API for realtime MIDI input / output. python-rtmidi supports Python 2 and Python 3 (3.4+) and is available for Linux, macOS (OS X) and Windows. What's new? ----------- This is a bugfix release with only minor enhancements. The major changes are: * RtMidi C++ level exceptions, when thrown, do not print the error message to stderr anymore. * RtMidi C++ exceptions are now caught when creating RtMidiIn/Out instances and converted into a Python rtmidi.SystemError exception. * Helper functions in rtmidi.midiutil now raise sub-classes of rtmidi.RtMidiError wherever appropriate. * When the JACK backend can't be initialized (e.g. when the server isn't running) it causes a DRIVER_ERROR instead of just a printing a WARNING. * Various improvements to the included example scripts. * Various small documentation wording changes and typo fixes. For a detailed list of changes, see the change log here: https://github.com/SpotlightKid/python-rtmidi/blob/master/CHANGELOG.rst Where to get it? ---------------- https://github.com/SpotlightKid/python-rtmidi or via pip: pip install python-rtmidi (Pre-compiled binary wheels for Windows and macOS for several Python versions in 32 and 64 bit variants are provided.) or, for Arch Linux users, from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-rtmidi/ How to use it? -------------- Please read the documentation here: https://spotlightkid.github.io/python-rtmidi/ *Share & Enjoy* Christopher Arndt
