Since the build doesn't produce any information, the only way seems to run zita-at1 from gdb and get a stack trace. Is there anything unusual about your system/X11/Jack ?

Basically Faust currently does : Faust dsp program ==> [BDA (Block Diagram Algebra) evaluation ] ==> Signals ==> FIR loops DAG (Direct Acyclic Graph) ==> C/C++, JAVA, LLVM, (possibly CUDA, OpenCL at some point) backends. FIR is a imperative like language where a Faust program is represented as a data structure + list of functions (init, buildInterface, compute...). The "compute" function does the actual DSP computation and is currently executing the DSP loops DAG in different modes: 1) vector mode : the loops DAG is simply topologically sorted and compiled in the target language (C/C++, LLVM...). The we hope GCC or ICC auto-vectorization features can do the job to produce SIMD code. 2) OpenMP mode: OpenMP pragmas are inserted at the right place in the DAG to express parallelism (and each loop can possibly be auto-vectorized). 3) Work Stealing Scheduler : the loops DAG is compiled with an "embedded" WSS algorithm (and each loop can possibly be auto-vectorized). 2) and 3) steps are typically expressed as "FIR to FIR" transformations. It could be possible to let other tools enter the chain before the "FIR loops DAG" step so that to take benefit of all the later steps : FIR to FIR parallelisation, and all available backends. We can even imagine to implement some kind of "inter plug-in" optimizations at the FIR level. But of course the simplest way to produce this "FIR loops DAG" is... using Faust itself, and "inter plug-in" optimizations are way simpler to handle at the Faust level (basically at the "signal step") . So I don't know if the idea makes sense, but you never know :-> Stéphane

lv2_jack_host

by alex stone

I'm experimenting with lv2_jack_host with Gabriel's excellent composite loaded, and have a general question. Is lv2_jack_host, from a terminal, jack-sessionable? Or, if this isn't viable, if any loaded plugins are jack-session capable, can lv2_jack_host save a "state", enabling any jack-session capable plugins to have their state re-instated, when a jack session is started/restarted?

New release of zita-at1

by fons＠kokkinizita.net

An update of zita-at1 is available at the usual place: <http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/downloads>. Changes: * The resampler now uses cubic interpolation (at twice the sample rate for 44.1 and 48 kHz), giving even cleaner output. * The offset control now has 400 steps of exactly 1 cent (1/100 semitone) each, and displays the set value when touched. Default mousewheel step is 10 cents, 1 cent with Shift pressed. Enjoy ! -- FA There are three of them, and Alleline.

Not having textual input is choice I made and I'll stick to it. What I can easily add is a display of the current value if you touch 'Offset', just as for 'Tuning'. I just didn't think it would be useful and that you'd normally adjust this 'by ear'. BTW there's a small bug in the 'Offset' control, it has 330 steps instead of the intended 400. Expect a new release somewhere this WE. Ciao, -- FA There are three of them, and Alleline.

Looking for c/c++ library that for reading guitar pro files

by Nathanael Anderson

tuxguitar has java support for guitar pro files, so the format is understood, I'm wondering if anyone ever ran across a c/c++ library for reading them? I found ptparser for power tab, but most of my tab is in gp3/4/5 format, and I'd like to be able to write some code dealing with gp stuff, without having to write a whole lib to read them. Thanks, Nathanael

Please post this invitation to LAD - LAD NAMM 2011 Trinity Audio Group / Indamixx Hi All, The Linux Audio community is a 6 year blessing to our existence. We would like to invite 5-7 at large attendees of Linux Audio Developers as our guest at NAMM 2011. Our 5-7 passes for NAMM are full vendor passes. Anyone in the area (Los Angeles) or who would like to attend globally and has the funds to buy airfare I will work with to get hotel accommodations at a super discounted rate as to not pinch the wallet. Deadline for emailing me you are interested in December 14th as the 15th is the day I must submit our final vendor attendee list. my email is ronaldjstewart(a)gmail.com here is the NAMM website: http://www.namm.org/thenammshow/2011 Thank you so much LAD!

recycle users wanted

by Alexandre Prokoudine

Hello lists :) First, an introduction. Within the context of this mail I'm representing re-lab -- a small project [1] that does a dirty job developers usually try to avoid -- reverse-engineering file formats that have no publicly available specs. Our primary goal is helping dev teams and therefore end-users to support legacy data. We started with Corel DRAW back in 2007 (supported by Inkscape, sK1 and UniConvertor now), continued with painting dynamics in Photoshop brushes (supported by Krita in SVN trunk) and Photoshop gradients (supported by SwatchBooker), and now we arrive to audio domain. A while ago we asked Ardour team if they wanted some file formats reverse-engineered. Paul named a couple of such file formats, including REX2 audio loops [2]. Since we are (at least pretend to be) nice guys, we started with mailing Propellerhead, but they never replied (only to be expected, given their track record re open source teams). Well, something had to be done about that, eh? So we started looking into things. Initial version of Python scripts that parse .rx2 files and dump stuff to stdout is already available [3]. This is exactly what deliver in the end: Python scripts for parsing and a specification that explains what every chunk does. Now here is what we need. All we have right now is a bunch of .rx2 files that I got with my Focusrite Saffire Pro24 and bundled software. It's good for a start, but for proper r-e we need introducing small changes to files and seeing what's changed. So we need someone with a licensed copy of ReCycle and some spare time on his/her hands to help us figuring things out. Demo version of ReCycle works fine in WINE, but saving and loading arbitrary files is impossible. We really do not want dealing with pirated copies, because, again, we do our best to be nice guys. And since we do it not just for fun, but for actual results, we'd be glad if developers of other applications (FreeCycle and Smasher are the first I can think of) implemented support for REX2. Coincidentally we are also interested in people who are good at audio compression algorithms. *cough* Monty *cough* :) By the way, usually I don't read both l-a-u and l-a-d lists, so after a while (a week maybe) I'll turn off delivery of mails, which means you probably want using Reply to All button in your mail client of choice.
