Description on the web:
-------
The "KVR Developer Challenge 2009" is for anyone who develops audio
plug-ins or applications (i.e. a "developer"). The challenge is to
create and release a brand new free audio plug-in or audio application
that will benefit the community at large. Creativity is key, it can be
as simple or as complex as you want - KVR members will vote on the
entries and pick the eventual winner. Anyone can make a donation via
PayPal, the prize fund will be distributed to the eventual winners
(details below).

Original announcement message:

Hi!
Just to make it official, a new release wave has appeared a (long) while ago:
* linuxsampler 1.0.0
* Fantasia 0.9
* qsampler 0.2.2
* gigedit 0.2.0
* libgig 3.3.0
* jlscp 0.8
* liblscp 0.5.6
Summary of changes:
This is the first release which allows the sampler to be used
as audio host
plugin, namely supporting the standards VST, AU, DSSI and LV2.
The sampler's
limits for max. voices & disk streams can now be altered at runtime by
frontends, no need to recompile the sampler anymore. The Mac
version now also
supports CoreAudio as audio driver. The Windows version finally
supports the
sampler's instruments DB feature as well, however expect it still to be
unstable at this point. Along to the already existing JACK
audio driver, Jack
MIDI support has been added in this release. The sampler allows
frontends now
basic MIDI control, that is to monitor incoming MIDI data on MIDI input
devices and sampler channels and to send note-on and note-off
MIDI events to
sampler channels, which allows frontends to provide a virtual
MIDI keyboard
to the user. Besides these major changes there were countless
bugfixes and
optimizations.
Many of you probably saw that most of the files already appeared more than 2
months ago on the webserver. Reason for this late announcement is that some
binaries took quite some additional time. So we wanted to wait until all
binaries of this new release were ready as well, which is now finally the
case.

Hi
I'm confused about all the timers.
There is:
- system timer
- hpet (high precision event timer)
- hr-timer (high resolution timer)
- rtc (real time clock)
- cyclic (what's that? a coded loop?)
- anything else ?
What is the relation of all these ?
Which hardware devices are actually used by those ?
Which is the prefered timer for sequencing ? hr-timer / rtc ?
Some timers can be opened only once ?
For example if jackdbus is using hr-timer, no other application can too ?
But applications need to use the same timer in order to sync - right ?
Which concepts exist to share a certain timer ?
How to verify if a timer is working ?
Is there tool that would help ?
Opening the hr-timer with rosegarden freezes my whole system here,
what could cause that ?
Thanks
Related to my sytem:
I get:
------
$ lsmod | grep rtc
rtc_cmos 9680 0
rtc_core 16784 1 rtc_cmos
rtc_lib 2844 1 rtc_core
But the following command doesn't list any rtc-timer (is that
expected, what to do ?):
-------------------------------------------------------------
$ cat /proc/asound/timers
G0: system timer : 1000.000us (10000000 ticks)
G3: HR timer : 0.001us (1000000000 ticks)

Hi,
I'm impressed by my recent discovery: non-daw and especially non-sequencer:
http://non.tuxfamily.org/
I love the design of the sequencer, it's very intuitive, userfriendly
and fast! Respect for that!
But I couldn't contact the author. So I was wondering, maybe he is on
this (lad) list?
I really like to know what his plans are with the apps and if he needs
support in some kind of way. Does he continue to work on it? (If not
that would be a real pity, cause this is not just another sequencer...
And then we might need some talented devs to fork it...)
Ok, I hope I will get some sign of life from the author soon...
Kind regards,
\rooz
Hello all,
Did anybody ever write a utulity to detect or count
denormals, NaN, Inf, etc. in a Jack stream ?

Hi!
Plugin and host authors and those who happen to know this: please reply
with at least 1 host or plugin(-set) and the provided or required
features/extensions.
I will then see that all that appears on the wiki.
If Dave provides a template, I should be able to write the RDF files for
the hosts.

From: Paul Davis <paul(a)linuxaudiosystems.com>
> # In-place processing (reusing an input buffer as an output buffer)
must be supported by GMPI. Not critical, in fact VST has removed this
feature. Possible future enhancement.
>say it ain't so jeff! This is a ridiculous bit of cache thrashing. I
haven't followed VST carefully, and you certainly know more about it
than me, but i thought that steinberg did the opposite and got rid of
process_adding() and process_replacing() and required
process_replacing() ("in place") semantics?
Good point. In-place is super-easy to support anyhow, just use the same
buffer as both input and output.
