So for Archers the DESTDIR is important, but on the other hand it's easy to patch a Makefile if it doesn't have the DESTDIR option, so no real big problem for now... just a heads up for the future. > > and also btw, good plugin - I've used it with good results with the > > settings suggested by Gabriel :) > > Fine ! > > Ciao, > ciao, Renato

is this a compiler issue??

by Conrad Berhörster

Hello all, i have written a channel class, which collects data from (file) sources and copies it to a buffer. Jack will get this buffer and put it into his streams. So far, I think, this is a normal design with the following code for (unsigned int n = 0; n < nframes; ++n) { pBuffer[n] += pFrames[n]; pBuffer[n] *= volume; } i know, it's not really optimized. But it works as an example. as you can think, pBuffer and pFrames are float* and volume is also a float. now it happens, when the volume is 0, after 3-5 seconds, the CPU will run into 100%. a workaround is the following before the loop if(volume < 0.0000001) volume = 0.0000001; But i try to understand, what happens here. Is the compiler overoptimizing zeros. compiler is: $g++ -v Using built-in specs. Target: i486-linux-gnu Configured with: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj- c++,treelang --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --with-system-zlib -- libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix -- enable-nls --program-suffix=-4.1 --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu -- enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-mpfr --with-tune=i686 --enable- checking=release i486-linux-gnu Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) what puzzles me is, that this doesn't happen on my double core system. Any ideas. Thanks c~

VST host for testing plugins

by victor

Hi everyone, what would your suggestions be for VST/VSTi hosts for testing plugins during development? Ideally I would like: 1. No frills 2. Simple interface (GUI not even needed) 3. Possibly a soundfile player 4. A simple MIDI GUI interface if possible 3 & 4 are really optional as I can use external programs to do it (although it would be nice). The main thing is to be simple, load plugins on request, no sequencing or that kind of stuff (otherwise I would just use Ardour or LMMS). Just sound in and out, plus some MIDI. Thanks! Victor

Auto-wah plugin

by Fons Adriaensen

hi all, In between smashing flies that came sitting on my hands while typing, and taking cold showers (we have some heath wave here) I wrote an auto-wah LADSPA plugin. It's available from the usual place: <http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/downloads/WAH-plugins-0.0.1.tar.bz2> Since I'm not a guitarist I'll need user feedback to improve it. Enjoy ! -- FA Io lo dico sempre: l'Italia è troppo stretta e lunga.

[PD-announce] smeck (6ch guitar processing patch) released]

by Frank Barknecht

Hi, something for the guitarists around. This is the patch, that Miller Puckette explained during the workshop at LAC2008. Ciao -- Frank ----- Forwarded message from Miller Puckette <mpuckett(a)imusic1.ucsd.edu> ----- Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 20:52:33 -0700 From: Miller Puckette <mpuckett(a)imusic1.ucsd.edu> To: pd-announce(a)iem.at Subject: [PD] [PD-announce] smeck (6ch guitar processing patch) released Hi all, I've finally done a good enough job of cleaning up the 'smeck' patch (seen at Pd conventions 2007 and 2009) to consider it releasable. This patch takes a 6-channel signal from a separated guitar pickup (such as the Roland GK series) and does a variety of cool things to it. Smeck is available from: http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/ cheers Miller _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce _______________________________________________ Pd-list(a)iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ----- End forwarded message -----

Selectable limit for polyphony of virtual synth

by Ralf Mardorf

Hi programmers of virtual synthesizers :) more than an hour ago I wiped of the dust of my old Oberheim to make soundfonts of some basses, but some pad sounds captivated me. The Oberheim is limited by 6-voice polyphony, resp. this isn't a limitation for those sounds. Virtual synth often tend to make the mix muddy, when playing pad sounds, because the polyphony isn't limited, every released note is able to end the complete release decay. For the Oberheim some notes are cut, while the wanted notes still can play the release decay. A selectable limit for polyphony might be a feature, that should become more common again, not only for virtual analog synthesizers. I know that e.g. fluidsynth-dssi has a global setting for polyphony, but the problem with this is, that it has impact to all used fluidsynth-dssi plugins. Cheers, Ralf

[ANN] Invada Studio LV2 Plugins 1.2.0

by Fraser

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everyone, There is an updated version of the Invada LV2 plugins available. This release contains a new plugin, 'Meters', which features Peak, VU, Phase & Spectrograph meters. Screenshot is here: http://www.invadarecords.com/images/downloads/Screenshot-Invada_Meters.png The amount of headroom between 0dB on the VU to digital 0dB is selectable from - -15dB to -3 dB. There is no right value for this, it really depends on the music, so just pick whatever value that causes the VU to spend most of it's time between +/- 3dB. (this stems from the fact that 0dB in the analogue world is the optimal level whereas 0dB in the digital world is the maximum level) Other Notable Changes: * Envelope attack & decay for meters now consistent across sample rates. * Improved font selection and sizing for widgets. * Initialised uninitialised variables in the delay plugin (thx Damon). * Added LV2 'Portgroups' extension to RDF's (thx Dave). * 'DESTDIR' make option to help packagers (thx Philipp). * Various GUI tweaks. Download from here: http://www.invadarecords.com/Downloads.php?ID=00000264 Ubuntu packages from here: https://launchpad.net/~invada/+archive/ppa Post bugs here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/invada-studio Send comments here :) Also packagers for distros may be interested on the 'nopkg' version of the tarball that contains no debian folder: https://launchpad.net/invada-studio/lv2/1.2 Final note: Please be aware that the 'External UI' extension the plugins use is due for a revision to make in fully compliant with LV2 spec V3 and above. When this occurs there shouldn't be any issues as I'll provide version of the GUI's compatible with both revisions. regards, Fraser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFKkQSLNZroiEh4erwRAqM/AKDZ3+UWGtZuncD7URuAbuS/s1jpdgCfZQRW p7Pf1XIBpdgBIzhcIveu5ZM= =GHHe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Fwd: Re: [ANN] Invada Studio LV2 Plugins 1.2.0]

by Ralf Mardorf

PS: The effective value is sine wave +3dB = 0 and nothing else. Am I wrong? *Just for dBFS*
