[LAA] [ANN] CLAM 1.3, 'Shooting flying plugins' release

The CLAM team enraptured to announce the 1.3.0 release of CLAM [1], the C++ framework for audio and music, code name ''The Shooting of the Flying Plugins release''. Highlights of this release are: - Automatic binary generation of LADSPA plugins containing the network you are editing in NetworkEditor. - Also a new simple API to code CLAM based Ladspa by hand. See [2] - More FAUST integration into network editor: edit faust code, compile, reload, view the svg diagrams (Natanael Olaiz GSoC) - Lots of usability enhancements on the NetworkEditor: cut&paste, context menus to connect ports, keyboard shortcuts, default double click actions, and a processing tree filter (Natanael Olaiz GSoC) - Annotator has also enhanced its functionality (Wang Jun GSoC): - You can build a project that aggregates content from several extractors - Extractors may have a config file - Extractors can write back data (useful if the extractor is a database of webservice and needs to upload modifications) - New ProgressControl widget and paired AudioFileMemoryLoader processing to support seeking (Pawel Bartkiewicz GSoC) - A bunch of new 3D spatialization processings from CI Barcelona Media[3] audio research group. - Scripts [4] and graphical front-end [5] to generate a native CLAM plugin project from scratch. - Experimental Python bindings [6] - TickExtractor example is compiling again (many thanks to Amaury Hazan from MTG-UPF) - Development deployment for Windows native compilation using MinGW (Wang Jun GSoC) And a lot of small nice features and fixes you will appreciate for sure. Source and binary packages for different platforms are available at the CLAM download page [7]. See also: development screenshots [8], the CHANGELOG [9], and the version migration guide [10]. We are also very excited on what next releases promise us. Some ongoing work: - Generating other types of network based plugins and programs (LV2, JACK, VST...), - Subnetworks (Natanael Olaiz GSoC) - Improved OSC support, 3D scene descriptors parametrization receivers processings and Blender exporter to the spatialization processing choreographer. (Natanael Olaiz GSoC) [11] - Typed controls (Francisco Tufro GSoC) - A new musician-oriented standalone chord extraction application (Pawel Bartkiewicz GSoC) [1] http://clam.iua.upf.edu [2] http://iua-share.upf.edu/wikis/clam/index.php/Building_a_LADSPA_plugin [3] http://www.barcelonamedia.org/ [4] http://audiores.uint8.com.ar/blog/2008/07/07/clam-processing-generator-scri… [5] http://clam.iua.upf.edu/wikis/clam/index.php/Image:ProcessingCodeGenerator.… [6] http://audiores.uint8.com.ar/blog/2008/08/03/interactive-clam-programming/ [7] http://clam.iua.upf.edu/download.html [8] http://clam.iua.upf.edu/wikis/clam/index.php/Development_screenshots [9] http://iua-share.upf.edu/svn/clam/trunk/CLAM/CHANGES [10] http://iua-share.upf.edu/wikis/clam/index.php/Version_Migration_Guide [11] http://dadaisonline.blogspot.com/search/label/blender related blogging -- David García Garzón (Work) dgarcia at iua dot upf anotherdot es http://www.iua.upf.edu/~dgarcia
