Vee One Suite 0.7.5 - The Tenth beta is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hiya! The 'Vee One Suite' aka. 'the gang of three' old-school 'homebrew' software instruments, respectively synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer and drumkv1 [3] as one drum-kit sampler, are here released once again, now in their tenth reincarnation. All still available in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK [4] client with JACK-session, NSM [5] (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA [6] MIDI input support; - a LV2 [7] instrument plug-in. The esoteric change-log goes like this: - LV2 Patch property parameters and Worker/Schedule support are now finally in place, allowing for sample file path selections from generic user interfaces (applies to samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). - All changes to most continuous parameter values are now smoothed to a fast but finite slew rate. - All BPM sync options to current transport (Auto) have been refactored to new special minimum value (which is now zero). - In compliance to the LV2 spec. MIDI Controllers now affect cached parameter values only, via shadow ports, instead of input control ports directly, mitigating their read-only restriction. - Make sure LV2 plug-in state is properly reset on restore. - Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks). The Vee One Suite are free, open-source Linux Audio [9] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [8] version 2 or later. And then again! **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1]** synthv1 0.7.5 (tenth official beta) is out! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

Advanced Gtk+ Sequencer v0.7.27 new with simple XML IO

by Joël Krähemann

Hi all GSequencer is currently available as v0.7.27 bringing many improvements. The use of the plugin API within GUI has been improved and doing XML IO is really fast for now. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gsequencer.git/tree/ags/X/file/ags_simple_… The website has been moved from github.org to GNU Savannah. http://www.nongnu.org/gsequencer/ The developer documentation was updated and is now provided within the source tarball. DSSI and Lv2 support was probably the biggest achievement. You may for now use it within notation editor. The thread has got a better structure with ::clock signal and has eliminated a really stained bug or bad implementation. The tree syncs now with parent frequency that should cause better time consumption. If you feel like asking questions, contributing work or sharing artistic work especially related to GSequencer feel free to get in contact. http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/gsequencer/0.7.x/gsequencer-0.7.2… http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/gsequencer/0.7.x/gsequencer-0.7.2… cheers, Joël

Presence Journal Special Issue: Arts, Aesthetics, and Performance in VR and Telepresence

by Myounghoon Jeon

We are very happy to announce this call for paper for a special issue of MIT Press Journal *Presence.* Feel free to pass it on to whoever might be interested in. Apologies for cross-posting!! *** CfP: "*Arts, Aesthetics, and Performance in VR and Telepresence*" Special Issue of *Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments* *Guest Editors: * Myounghoon "Philart" Jeon (Michigan Tech) Paul Fishwick (University of Texas at Dallas) *Scope * Art and technology have a similar origin, and until the 17th century were not differentiated from each other (the Latin word “ars” – art – included crafts and sciences). Since then, they have diverged, but with the rapid technological advancement of the current era, art and technology have begun to be *re*integrated. Recently, the application of computing to aesthetics (or “art and design”) has proliferated. Thanks to new technologies, we can expand the perceptual experiences of our existing senses and can even create novel perceptual dimensions that have never been imagined – new *presence*. Conversely, computing and technology can be influenced by arts and aesthetics, in what we call “aesthetic computing”. The application of art theory and practice to computing provides an opportunity to explore more creative media, making the concept of computing more accessible and promoting personalization and customization of computing structures. The trend to integrate art and technology is pervasive in formal education: STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is evolving into STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) by adding art and design to the equation. This year, the 25th anniversary of the journal *Presence*, may well be the first year of a new virtual reality era, with a plethora of new and updated virtual reality devices and technologies (Oculus DK, HTC Vive, Microsoft HoloLens, etc.). Given the paradigm shift from cognitivism into embodiment, the human body now has more opportunity for representation in computing (gesture interaction, tangible user interface, etc.) than at any previous time. In this line, virtual reality, which provides “presence” and immersiveness, is becoming more important for embodied interactions. Scientists and technologists can learn interaction techniques and strategies from body expression experts – “artists”; and virtual reality can provide an integrative, dynamic platform for arts and performances, a living synthesis of which German composer Richard Wagner once dreamed in his vision of “gesamtkunstwerk” – comprehensive work of art. We hope this special issue can serve as a good step towards that goal. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:* · Performing arts in virtual reality or augmented reality · Integrative arts (e.g., dance-based sonification, dance-based visualization) · Public displays including lay people in the performance · Use of VR/AR to include people with disabilities in performance or art galleries · Paradigm, theory, and model of arts and aesthetics in VR and telepresence · Design research approach to performing arts in VR · Methodologies and methods of evaluating performing arts in VR · Design of new a sensor, device, or platform for arts-technology integration *Submission* Manuscripts should conform to the journal’s submission guidelines: http://www.mitpressjournals.org/page/sub/pres Authors, please note that audio and video files can be hosted as supplementary online material accompanying published articles. For more information about multimedia file formats and submission guidelines, please contact presence(a)mit.edu. *Schedule* · Call for Papers: May 15, 2016 · Submission deadline: November 1, 2016 · Final revisions: June 1, 2017 · Publication: Late 2017 *Contact* Dr. Myounghoon “Philart” Jeon Associate Professor Department of Cognitive and Learning Sciences Department of Computer Science Michigan Tech mjeon(a)mtu.edu ************************************************ Myounghoon "Philart" Jeon, Ph.D. Associate Professor *Mind Music Machine Lab <https://sites.google.com/site/mindmusicmachinelab/>* *Center for Human-Centered Computing <http://icc.mtu.edu/hcc/>@ICC <http://icc.mtu.edu/>* Department of Cognitive and Learning Sciences Department of Computer Science *Michigan Tech*nological University Meese 205, Rekhi 202, 1400 Townsend Drive Houghton, MI 49931 (906) 487-3273 mjeon(a)mtu.edu
