2nd Annual Web Audio Conference - submissions now open

by g.roma＠surrey.ac.uk

The 2nd Web Audio Conference (WAC) will be held April 4-6, 2016 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. WAC is an international conference dedicated to web audio technologies and applications. The conference welcomes web developers, music technologists, computer musicians, application designers, researchers, and people involved in web standards. The conference addresses research, development, design, and standards concerned with emerging audio-related web technologies such as Web Audio API, Web RTC, WebSockets and Javascript. It is open to industry engineers, R&D scientists, academic researchers, artists, and students. The first Web Audio Conference was held in January 2015 at IRCAM and Mozilla in Paris, France. The Internet has become much more than a simple storage and delivery network for audio files, as modern web browsers on desktop and mobile devices bring new user experiences and interaction opportunities. New and emerging web technologies and standards now allow applications to create and manipulate sound in real-time at near-native speeds, enabling the creation of a new generation of web-based applications that mimic the capabilities of desktop software while leveraging unique opportunities afforded by the web in areas such as social collaboration, user experience, cloud computing, and portability. The Web Audio Conference focuses on innovative work by artists, researchers, and engineers in industry and academia, highlighting new standards, tools, APIs, and practices as well as innovative web audio applications for musical performance, education, research, collaboration, and production. Contributions to the second edition of the Web Audio Conference are encouraged in the following areas: - Web Audio API, Web MIDI, Web RTC, and other existing or emerging web standards for audio and music - Development tools, practices, and strategies of web audio applications - Innovative audio and music based web applications - Client-side audio processing (real-time or non real-time) - Audio data and metadata formats and network delivery - Server-side audio processing and client access - Client-side audio engine and audio rendering - Frameworks for audio synthesis, processing, and transformation - Web-based audio visualization and/or sonification - Multimedia integration - Web-based live coding environments for music - Web standards and use of standards within audio based web projects - Hardware and tangible interfaces in web applications - Codecs and standards for remote audio transmission - Any other innovative work related to web audio that does not fall into the above categories We welcome submissions in the following tracks: paper, poster, demo, performance, and artwork. All submissions will be single-blind peer reviewed. The conference proceedings, which will include both papers (for papers and posters) and abstracts (for demos, performances, and artworks), will be published online in SmartTech, Georgia Tech’s archival open-access repository. *Papers*: Submit a 4-6 page paper to be given as an oral presentation. *Talks*: Submit an abstract to be given as an oral presentation. *Posters*: Submit a 2-4 page paper to be presented at a poster session. *Demos*: Submit an abstract to be presented at a hands-on demo session. Demo submissions should include a title, a one-paragraph abstract and a complete list of technical requirements (including anything expected to be provided by the conference organizers). *Performances*: Submit a performance making creative use of web-based audio applications. Performances can include elements such as audience device participation, web-based interfaces, WebMIDI, WebSockets, and/or other imaginative approaches to web technology.

ANNOUNCEMENT: csound.node integrates Csound with HTML5

by Michael Gogins

Please pardon cross-posting. I am pleased to announce the availability of csound.node. This addon for NW.js implements the complete integration of Csound and HTML5 on desktop platforms. It has been tested on WIndows and Linux. The same capabilities are available in current versions of CsoundQt and Csound for Android, but csound.node is easier to build and supports the development of standalone applications such as sound art and computer music installations, visual music pieces, self-contained interactive compositions, kiosk-type applications, and so on. For for more information, including build instructions and configuration, see https://github.com/csound/csound/tree/develop/frontends/nwjs. Prebuilt binaries and examples are available in the Windows installer at http://sourceforge.net/projects/csound/files/csound6/Csound6.05/Setup_Csoun… (this still requires installing NW.js and some configuration). On other platforms, building csound.node should be simple. A version of this Windows installer with all VST features of Csound enabled (Cabbage, vst4cs for hosting VST plugins in Csound, and CsoundVST) will soon be available on my Web site, http://michaelgogins.tumblr.com.

[ANN] Radium 3.1.3

by Kjetil Matheussen

Radium is a music editor with a new type of interface. It's inspired by trackers, but uses graphics to show musical data. Most important changes between 3.0 and 3.1.3: * Many stability issues fixed * Fixed automation * Pianoroll * Option to record MIDI line by line and monophonic in the MIDI menu. (as before) * Add options to multiply the number of lines to scroll by the "Edit lines" value * MIDI: Option to always record velocity * A new sound object called "Midi Messages" which can be used to send MIDI messages to other sound objects. Can for instance be used to send pitch bend changes to VST plugins. * Option to show line numbers instead of bars/beats * Sort notes by pitch for same-positioned notes. * VST: Fix for plugins using "main" instead of "VSTPluginMain".

[ANN] setBfree v0.8

by Robin Gareus

G'day. setBfree is a MIDI-controlled, software synthesizer designed to imitate the sound and properties of the electromechanical organs and sound modification devices that brought world-wide fame to the names and products of Laurens Hammond and Don Leslie. http://setbfree.org https://github.com/pantherb/setBfree It's been over 18 months since the last release and setBfree just reached another major milestone: It now features a proper GUI that allows to configure various aspects that have previously only been accessible via text config files (the config and program file-format itself has not changed). The GUI is available as LV2 and standalone jack application and the old tcl/tk prototype UI was removed for good. visit https://vimeo.com/130633814 for a demo. The 2nd big change was reworking the Leslie: The horn now spins counter-clockwise (same as the real thing) and we finally managed to track down the aliasing noise that was audible during acceleration and deceleration. Since various users play guitar and some even cello through it, an animated LV2 GUI was added for the whirl-speaker emulation and it has also been made available as standalone jack client. Advanced settings such as microphone angle, position, horn radius, etc are now also exposed (both for the organ as well as the LV2). The UI looks like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pantherb/setBfree/master/doc/b_whirl.png Other notable changes include new addition of presets for Kurzweil and Korg CX3 and updates to portability (ARM-CPU/RPi, Windows + OSX versions). The full list of over 300 changes since 0.7.5 is available as git log. Binaries for Intel platform, GNU/Linux, OSX and Windows are available from https://github.com/pantherb/setBfree/releases/latest though for Linux most distros will pick this up as usual. Many thanks to Axel 'the C.L.A.' Müller and Jean-Luc Nest who provided valuable feedback and inspiring music during the development cycle. happy playing, robin + will
