A relatively small change. The GUI controls are now fully implemented and tested so that you can quickly hop between root paths, banks and instrument lists, with banks far more clearly laid out. The old controls are still in place. Now this really does wrap up this part of Yoshimi's development. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

ZynAddSubFX 2.5.0

by Mark D. McCurry

Hello All, The 2.5.0 Release of ZynAddSubFX is now available. This release is mainly focused on fixing some of the core architectural flaws that have historically existed. As a result this release should behave much better under jack and interfacing with the realtime side of things is *much* easier now. To give a qualitative feel of how much has changed, git diff --stat indicates that around 27k lines of code have been added in this release with just 2k lines of code between with the two previous releases. Additionally the callgraph of the realtime safe hazards can be seen in two large images: http://fundamental-code.com/2.4.4-realtime-issues.png http://fundamental-code.com/2.5.0-realtime-issues.png green nodes are functions which are annotated realtime red nodes are realtime functions which call a possibly unsafe function black nodes are possibly unsafe functions Both images were generated via https://github.com/fundamental/stoat As can be seen, the number of faults in 2.5.0 boils down to one remaining set of memory allocation issues and a few mostly harmless printfs, whereas 2.4.4 had numerous deeply ingrained issues. While that aspect might not be of much interest to general users, exposure of virtually all parameters over OSC and experimental MIDI learn may be. To try out the MIDI learn, simply use middle click on a knob/slider and then feed in a midi CC and the system will attempt to create a binding out of the two. ChangeList: - Add Rtosc - Add tlsf RT Memory Allocator - Add --dump-oscdoc Flag - Add OSC API - Add Jack-OSC Support - Add MIDI Learn - Add Undo/Redo - Add Multi-Out JACK Engine - Add Multi-Out OSS Engine - Add Top Level Window Icon - Add OSS env Vars MIDI_DEVICE/DSP_DEVICE - Add OSC port/PID file - Remove Master::mutex - Remove Almost All RT Unsafe Actions - Disable (temporarily) DSSI - Disable (temporarily) Copy/Paste - Massive Internal Refactoring Project Page: http://zynaddsubfx.sf.net/ Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/zynaddsubfx/files/zynaddsubfx/2.5.0/ Mailing List: https://sourceforge.net/p/zynaddsubfx/mailman/ Forums: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=47 IRC: ##zynaddsubfx on FreeNode Enjoy and please report bugs, --Mark McCurry

OSC2MIDI Version 0.1 Released

by Spencer Jackson

With some help I found many missing but needed features in osc2midi. These have been resolved, tested, and now, I think they're ready for release. OSC2MIDI is a highly configurable osc to jack midi (and back) bridge for linux. It is useful for controlling jack midi apps with a mobile device, or controlling OSC apps like Ardour or the Non-Daw applications with a midi device. Configuration is done through a simple text file, with several examples included. notable changes: -can now use constant arguments or even ranges of constants in the OSC or the Midi message to map lots of messages quickly -You can linearly scale values on the osc or midi message side making it much easier if making maps for converting midi to osc -You can map values from osc or midi messages to multiple values on the other side Please download and give it a try: https://sourceforge.net/projects/osc2midi/files/ Please leave feedback on our sourceforge project page. Enjoy! _ssj71

The types of submissions solicited for ICAD15 include: ::::::::::::::::: PAPERS AND POSTERS::::::::::::::::: Paper and poster submissions will be 4-8 pages in length, including all figures and references. Typical paper contributions are between 6 - 8 pages, and typical poster contributions are 4 - 5 pages long. Full papers should describe work that offers a substantial contribution to the field of auditory display. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to give an oral presentation of their work, and at least one author must present the work at the conference for the paper to appear in the proceedings. Poster submissions should describe both finished work and work in late stages of progress. Work that is complete enough that meaningful conclusions can be drawn at the time of submission are encouraged. Authors of accepted submissions will be invited to participate in a poster and/or demonstration session, and at least one author must present the work at the conference for the paper to appear in the published proceedings. When weighing the decision to submit to poster and demonstration sessions, we encourage authors to consider their work in relation to the potential positive benefits (both to authors and their audiences) afforded by the personal interactions that occur in this type of session. Authors of selected full papers will be invited to submit an extended version (up to 12 pages) of their papers for publication in a Special Issue of the Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces (JMUI): Auditory Display. (http:// www.springer.com/computer/hci/journal/12193) ::::::::::::::::: EXTENDED ABSTRACTS ::::::::::::::::: Extended abstracts include, but are not limited to late-breaking results, works in early stages of progress, novel methodologies, unique or controversial theoretical positions, and discussions of unsuccessful research or null findings. Submissions for extended abstracts require a proceedings paper of up to 2 pages in length. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to give a short presentation of their work, and at least one author must present the work at the conference for the abstract to appear in the published proceedings. The deadline of the extended abstracts is later to allow very recent contributions in the field. Papers Co-Chairs Visda Goudarzi and Areti Andreopoulou papers.icad15(a)iem.at ::::::::::::::::: MUSIC AND INSTALLATIONS::::::::::::::::: We invite submissions of music and sound installations. Sonification should be a constitutive element of the proposed works. Priority will be given to works employing space and interaction as additional dimensions to an artistic data exploration. We therefore especially encourage the submission of multichannel electroacoustic or acousmatic pieces and interactive sound installations. The works will be reviewed by an international panel of sound and sonification experts. Preference will be given to submissions that are technically feasible and have a clear documentation of the setup. At least one of the authors who wish to have their works presented at ICAD15 must register and attend to the conference. As we would like to extend the presentation of these works beyond the time limits of the conference, authors of accepted works are encouraged to present their work also online using the Research Catalogue (http://www.researchcatalogue.net), an international database for artistic research. The conference page will provide a portal to these presentations. Music Co-Chairs Johannes Zmölnig, Ypatios Grigoriadis, and Gerhard Eckel music.icad15(a)iem.at We will provide child care during the conference and workshops. If you travel with a kid/ kids please drop us an email ahead of time.

Qtractor 0.6.5 - The Fermion Ray beta is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Spread the word, Qtractor 0.6.5 (fermion ray beta) is out! Release highlights: * MIDI clip record/overdubbing (NEW) * Extended track multi-selection for mute/solo (NEW) * VST-shell sub-plugins support (NEW) * JACK transport start/stop resilience (FIX) And still, Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt4 framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio. Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor/files - source tarball: http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.5.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 13.2): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.5-15.rncbc.suse132.sr… - binary packages (openSUSE 13.2): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.5-15.rncbc.suse132.i5… http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.5-15.rncbc.suse132.x8… - quick start guide & user manual (see also: the wiki): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.x-user-manual.pdf - wiki (help really wanted!): http://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/wiki/ Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Connections lines now drawn with anti-aliasing; connections splitter handles width is now reduced; the MIDI connections splitter pane sizes are now saved and restored properly. - Extended multi-selection is now featured on the track-list (main left-pane), primarily allowing for group mute/solo (and monitor) switching. - Track-list (left pane) header column widths are now saved and made persistent across application power cycle (double-click reverts to the old original default). - Minor fixes on the MIDI clip event list editor, also making sure the current event is visible on the piano-roll view. - As long to prevent asynchronous mistakes to JACK transport state changes, an internal slack-delay is now introduced after self-initiated transport commands (eg. start/stop). - The MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) was missing to clear or reset the current selection when no shift/ctrl keyboard modifier is in effect. - VST-shell sub-plugins are now supported (as suggested by abique aka. Alexandre Bique, thanks). - MIDI clip record/overdubbing is now possible (Clip/Record on the main menu or File/Record from the MIDI clip editor. - Make sure some audio sample file encodings (eg. old Ogg Vorbis) does not head-start on audio peak generation.
