[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.7 - Spring-Break'19 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi there, trice again, Like some post-LAC2019 [8] frenzy hangover, here comes the third and final 'batch-of-one': Qtractor 0.9.7 (spring-break'19) is out! The changes for this seasonal release are as follows: - Re-defined all main application UNIX signal handling. - Fixed possible crash in drawing clips while rare loop-recording/takes situations. - Main window stabilizing is now kind of asynchronous re. menus, tools and status bars. - MIDI Controller's Latch mode attribute on tracks and plugins are now properly saved/loaded as meant to be. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Is this sort of window function used? (can't identify)

by Nikita Zlobin

While experimenting with window functions for spectral analyzis, I compared Hann, Sin and Lanczos. It is easy to notice, that Hann is really same as sin(x)^2. Lanczos is tiny bit better, because its sides are tiny bit smoother, compared to sin(). It seems, that unsmoothed corners between sides and zero axis for sin() is reason why sides are so high, compared to Hann. Hamming and more over Gaussian have ideal smooth sides, but narrower middle (probably this one reason why central leaf is wider for them). Just for experiment i tried to change sin(x)^2 to just sin(x)^f, where 1.0f < f < 2.0f. And it looks like any f>1 causes derivative to be =0 at zero axis. The only thing, affected by exact amount in this range, is how fast it will become zero. While it is easy to notice with Hann example, factor around 1.2 or 1.1 make it hard to notice without very deep zoom. With f=1.25 or 1.26 it nearly reproduces Lanczos, thought difference may be noticed, if plotted at the same time. Though still not have enough precise integral for weakening correction, i noticed that side leafs falldown slightly faster than for Hann. Now I'm curious, is such function is in use? I don't know how to call it for search request. E.g., after reinventing Welch window by just multiplicating y=2x with y=2-2x, I already knew it is parabola. For sin(x)/x i know it is sinc. But what is sin(x)^y, at least at some 'y' between 1 and 2 ? I feel, that this is also something reinvented. Just like writing sin(x)^2, i discovered later that it is Hann. Need help. One of professors, who are still aware of signal processing stuff, adviced me to reed this book (found localized to russian): https://www.scirp.org/(S(351jmbntvnsjt1aadkposzje))/reference/ReferencesPap… but i still have to find time to learn it (besides of deepening my math knowledge).

How do you improve optimization for integer calculations?

by Nikita Zlobin

Hello. I just have attempt, writing serious application, considering language (C), tookit (gtk3, cairo, pango, etc) and that it is audio app. Besides that many audio things use simple "float" for audio data, i noticed some posts, where tension towards integer math appeared. While it is not my case (my app is jack-based, and audio data have FP type everywhere), i slightly distracted from audio side. My app for now is spectrum analyzer, which later should evolve into couple of spectral editing helper utilities (more exactly to generate spectrogram and apply changes either by resynth or by filtering with diff spectrogram). I distracted to experiments with graphics post-processing for instant spectrum view rendering. Due to cairo nature, color data in cairo image surface may be at best argb32, rgb24 and rgb30 (for now i implemented uspport only for first two). As result post-processing is all done in integer mode. I can understand this, as i noticed that channel orders in memory depends on endianness, what points that cairo relies more on masks and bitshifts than for byte value arrays where is possible. I decided to look in debugger for how gcc does optimize these ops. Noticed following. Below is code chunk from kdbg with some asm blocks expanded. There is only one line, where i tried to use floating point ops, just for comparison (plus some context for better understanding). for (int l = 0; l < 3; l++) for (int c = 0; c < 3; c++) { unsigned char * p = bpix[l][c]; col[0] += p[0] , 0x5b27 movzbl 0x60(%rsp),%esi col[1] += p[1] , 0x5a34 movzbl 0x65(%rsp),%eax col[2] += p[2] , 0x5a42 movzbl 0x62(%rsp),%edx col[3] += p[3]; 0x5a47 movzbl 0x67(%rsp),%esi 0x5a4c mov 0x10(%rsp),%rbp } col[0] /= 9.0, col[1] /= 9.0, col[2] /= 9.0, col[3] /= 9.0; 0x5a39 pxor %xmm0,%xmm0 op[0] += col[0] , 0x5b8d add %sil,0x0(%rbp) op[1] += col[1] , 0x5b94 add %cl,0x1(%rbp) op[2] += col[2] , 0x5b97 add %dl,0x2(%rbp) op[3] += col[3]; 0x5b91 add %al,0x3(%rbp) for (int l = 0; l < 3; l++) ip[l] += 3; op += ch_n; } Notice, how line, containing chain of divisions, is compiled to single sse operation. What is interesting, this is only asm line, involving xmm or imm - i can't find anything else like mov, involving these registers. With division to integer 9 - it is still one line, but no xmm is involved. col[0] += p[0] , 0x5b17 movzbl 0x64(%rsp),%eax col[1] += p[1] , 0x5a35 movzbl 0x65(%rsp),%eax col[2] += p[2] , 0x5a4a movzbl 0x7e(%rsp),%esi col[3] += p[3]; 0x5a4f movzbl 0x7f(%rsp),%ecx } col[0] /= 9, col[1] /= 9, col[2] /= 9, col[3] /= 9; 0x5a3a mov $0x38e38e39,%r8d op[0] += col[0] , 0x5b78 add %dl,0x0(%rbp) op[1] += col[1] , 0x5b3a add %dil,0x1(%rbp) As for GCC opts, i used unusual combo "-march=native -O3 -g" in order to get exhausing optimization, but still keep it readable for kdbg disasm to get a look. While searching for info about sse integer support, search pointed me to wikipedia page about x86 instructions, where i found almost enough instruction set - logical, add, sub and mul, signed and unsigned, words and bytes (at least in SSE2 which according to description enabled MMX set to use SSE registers, where integer support was primary in MMX). So, i'm in maze - why doesn't gcc involve such ops in integer mode? Could it be possible, that what it did is better without SSE? I'm about to eventually try more FP ops in this place but unsure, about possible conversions, since source and dest are anyway cairo surfaces with integer data.

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.7 - Spring-Break'19 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Wholly cheers! The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments are here again and now released for the second QStuff* Spring-Break'19 batch post-LAC2019 [12] frenzy: * synthv1 0.9.7 [1] * samplv1 0.9.7 [2] * drumkv1 0.9.7 [3] * padthv1 0.9.7 [4] All still delivered in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Changes are that there are quite a few fixes since previous releases: - Corrected sample offset and loop range internal reset (samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). - All audio input now get through without being processed by any or whole effects stage anymore. - Re-defined all JACK stand-alone client application UNIX signal handling. - Probable fix to sample offset and loop range changes across native UI and loading and saving state. (samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later.

(Speaking from long experience as gigging guitarist and bassist). The GA-1 tuner I mentioned isn't a true chromatic tuner, but its ability to shift the standard guitar tunings down several semitones is very useful. In modern metal genres C or B tunings are probably more common than the standard EADGBE, so this isn't just an edge case. John

'A' note Tuning Range

by Will Godfrey

Currently in 'Scales' Yoshimi can set this anywhere between 1Hz and 2kHz, which is frankly ridiculous. This doesn't appear at all in the Scala documentation, so that's no guide. I've had suggestions ranging from +- 1/2 semitone to +- half octave as being more than enough, considering that there is also semitone master key shift covering +- 3 octaves (used to be 5!) along with a fine detune of +63 -64 cents. What have other synth people here set for this? Does anyone else actually have the setting? -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Jack Internal Clients

by Spencer Jackson

Hi all: I've been trying to make my OSC2MIDI app work as an internal client for the MOD Duo. However I've got some misunderstanding or something. I'm first just trying it on desktop (debian) but even compiling the example internal client at https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2/blob/develop/example-clients/inprocess.c and running lack_load /home/spencer/inprocess yeilds the same result as when I try to run osc2midi. It fails with the message intclient = 0 status = 0x1 Are the internal clients supposed to be in a special directory or something? I haven't had any luck with the googles for documentation or examples beyond the source for the client. My source is at https://github.com/ssj71/OSC2MIDI/tree/jack_internal/src if it helps. If more information about my system or whatever would be helpful just let me know. Thanks, _Spencer
