paper has been accepted. The full paper will be available on the website
during and after the conference. All papers are peer reviewed by a
committee of experts from different disciplines. Reviewers may suggest
improvements to the author(s), or require changes in order to accept the
submission. The duration of the presentation is 25 minute followed by a 5
minute discussion.

presentations that will be carried out in parallel with poster
presentations. Demos can be submitted through this online form

resources needed to perform your piece (e.g., instruments, props, other
performers, etc.). LAC 2019 cannot pay for any expenses related to a
performance (e.g., performers, travel, accommodation, special equipment,

MAMMUT
========
*About:
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.

Changes 0.59 -> 0.61:
-Play: Fix changing play position in realtime not always working.
-GUI: Fix printing Ø in the about box.
-GUI: Turn off startup sound by default.
-GUI: Save prefs immediately, not when exiting program.
-GUI: Make main window resizable.
-DSP: Avoid denormals. (Just in case. Don't know if it was a problem).
-Build: Build with -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -Wextra -Werror -Wall, and fix
various potential bugs found by newer compilers and -Wextra.
-GUI: Set moving camera to true by default
-Build: Fix install instructions
-Build: Upgraded Juce to 5.3.2
-Build: Varoius build fixes from GeorgeNs.
-Fixed a couple of ugly bugs in the progress bar code.
JACK_CAPTURE
=============
jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack.
The default operation of the program is executed by writing "jack_capture"
in the terminal without any extra command line options:
$ jack_capture
...which will record what you hear in your loudspeakers
into a stereo wav file. But it has lots of other features as well.

Changes 0.9.72 -> 0.9.73:
* Update version to 0.9.73. (Version number was set to 0.9.71 in 0.9.72.)
* Make it clearer that you risk overwriting an old file by specifying filename
* OSX compilation fix (Julius Smith)
Hi,
Advanced Gtk+ Sequencer has got yet another minor release. Thought
most of its new functionality are still experimental and not exposed
to the user.
The features:
* the OSC server providing 8 different controllers
* OSC builder and parser object
* utility functions to deal with OSC data
* configuration in place (no more restart)
Note, during configuration all playback is stopped.
