Re: [LAD] LV2 Achievement of GMPI Requirements

by Jeff McClintock

> I have adapted the GMPI requirements final draft document to a > comparison with the current state of LV2: http://lv2plug.in/gmpi.html For historical interest. I did complete the GMPI prototype. Now running on Windows (GUI + DSP support) and Mac/Linux (DSP support). We have over 1000 plugins available on Windows, mostly related to modular synthesis (because that's my interest). This year I ported the SDK and several plugins to Mac, and will also be ensuring they run on Linux (Waves Plugins Ltd have a high-end Linux-powered mixing desk that runs plugins. It handles mixing and effects for large consoles and runs at a rock-solid 1 ms latency). .SEM Comparison with GMPI... http://www.synthedit.com/software-development-kit/sdk-version-3-documentatio n/specifications/ SEMs main differences with LV2: * Sample-accurate parameter updates via time-stamped events. * Provides a performance optimization mechanism for handling silent audio streams. * Supports fractional pitch numbers. * Provides the ability for an instrument to define an arbitrary set of parameters that applies to each voice Comments on LV2..... >53 Disagree - Achievable entirely with metadata. If a feature is achievable with metadata, then you DID MEET that requirement (in a cool manner). The spec doesn't say HOW to meet the requirement. Update your table to say 'Met' on these requirements. The SEM DSP Plugin API has a total of four functions { open(), setBuffer(), process(), receiveMessageFromGui() }, the remainder of the spec is covered by metadata. >61 ...It is unclear what "patches" means here. It means presets. Or more generally save/restore the plugin's state. It doesn't mean the plugin *cares* about presets (like VST2), presets can be concept the host entirely takes care of. >73 "GMPI must define a simple in-process custom UI mechanism. " Disagree - It is unclear what this requirement means. It means the SDK should support GUIs, for example VST provides for opening a OS 'Window', what and how you draw inside that window is not specified. More importantly the API has a mechanism for tweaking the plugins parameters from the GUI. The crux is not that the API supports graphics or drawing, but that it supports communicating with the plugin from an abstact 'control surface' potentially running in a separate thread or even a separate process space. i.e in SEM the API supports a 'GUI' class getting/setting any of the plugin's parameters in a thread-safe manner. >101 "GMPI should allow for copy-protected plugins" Disagree - LV2 is not and should not be encumbered with specific "copy protection" mechanisms. I would say LV2 MEETS that requirement. This point is simply that you should not actively *disallow* copy protection, and that you can check for example that the plugin is GPL *without* instantiating it, (because a host might want to check the license before unintentionally breaking that license by linking to the plugin). All in all very good to see GMPI requirements used as a benchmark. A lot of smart people put many months into GMPI. I think it was considered 'too radical' at the time (the utter crap VST2 was considered ideal by many, and still is). My suggestion that it didn't need MIDI at all (MIDI being too limited and crufty) resurfaced in VST3 Note-expression. What we see now with LV2, SEM and VST3 is a vindication of GMPI actually being ahead of its time. Jeff McClintock www.synthedit.com Best Regards, Jeff

[ann] out now petri-foo 0.1.85

by James Morris

Petri-Foo, the fork of the soft-sampler known as Specimen, has a new release, 0.1.85, available: http://sourceforge.net/projects/petri-foo/files/Source/petri-foo-0.1.85.tar… This new release brings two and a half new features with it: (1.0) Non Session Management support (2.0) 'Full Save' functionality (2.5) Import (1.0) NSM support can only be built if the system has liblo installed. If liblo (the lightweight OSC implementation) is _not_ installed petri-foo will be built _without_ NSM support. (2.0) "Full Save" functionality increases the portability of Petri-Foo's 'dish files'. A dir is created (the bank dir) containing the dish file along with symlinks to external samples used. the bank dir can then be archived using `tar -h`. To use full save, just select 'full save as' instead of 'save as' from the file menu. Selecting 'save' will do the right thing after doing so. (2.5) The import function is very self explanatory: it loads a dish file without deleting the existing patches. http://sourceforge.net/projects/petri-foo/files/Source/petri-foo-0.1.85.tar… Further resources: http://petri-foo.sourceforge.net https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=404816 http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/petri-foo-devel http://github.com/jwm-art-net/Petri-Foo Cheers, James.

Lisalo 1.4 Release

by Nils

Lisalo - Linux Sampler Loader - is a command line program that loads entire directories of sample files, a single .sfz file or takes instructions from a meta .lsl file with relative paths to samples. Now you can quickly and easily load sampled instruments without even starting a GUI. This is release 1.4, grab it here, no installation required git clone git://github.com/nilsgey/Lisalo.git [New Features] -Jack Autoconnect-Port for the stereo sum/mix channels can be given from the command line -Can start Linuxsampler with a given server-address and port, which makes multiple instances possible -Jack Midi In for autoconnection is a commandline parameter. There is only so much you can implement into a tool that aims to be small by design. This marks my "feature complete" milestone. Future releases will be bugfixes. One example what you can do now: I use it to load the Salamander Piano shortly after boot and connect it to my ALSA midi port (which is always on, no matter if the keyboard itself is switched on or not). I now have instant piano sound whenever I switch my keyboard on. It does not conflict with other lisalo or Linuxsampler sessions. With this lovely one liner: /usr/bin/lisalo /home/nils/samples/sfz/SalamanderGrandPianoV2_48khz24bit/SalamanderGrandPianoV2.sfz -m alsa_pcm:Hammerfall-DSP/midi_capture_1 -p 7777 -m Salamander > /dev/null [Contact] https://github.com/nilsgey/Lisalo info@... irc.freenode.org #laborejo Feedback and chatting are welcome!

Praxis LIVE screencasts / good screencast software for audio?

by Neil C Smith

Hi All, Firstly, finally got around to some screencasts of Praxis LIVE in action - http://praxisintermedia.wordpress.com/2012/07/30/video-rough-cuts-1/ These are just 'rough cuts', unedited except titles and no voiceover. Only first 2 have audio, and the audio on the second is a little off in places (see below!) Secondly, anyone got a suggestion for screencast software that's good at glitch free audio? These are done with Kazam. First is mostly OK, but the second is a little glitchy. Finding only about 1 in 4 captures is any good - all sorts of weird glitches and sometimes speed issues, though the audio playback while recording is fine. Thanks and best wishes, Neil -- Neil C Smith Artist : Technologist : Adviser http://neilcsmith.net Praxis - open-source intermedia system for live creative play - http://code.google.com/p/praxis OpenEye - specialist web solutions for the cultural, education, charitable and local government sectors - http://openeye.info

[Android|OT?] CamSynth - Just an experiment

by Florian Paul Schmidt

Hi, I don't know if this is on-topic or off-topic - technically it runs on a linux, but then, maybe, just, no, no Android on LAD?? :D But anyways: I played a little with Android Development and hacked up a little experimental Synthesizer app. https://github.com/fps/android_camsynth https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.fps.camsynth It's free and open source and renders 8 voices (on my LG-P500) with a trivial (and wrong :D) synthesis method where the voice gains are determined by the camera image at a 8 x 8 px resolution.. I guess it's somewhat a minimal project which can be instructive to some (the synthesis part is implemented in C via JNI). And the code is very small.. Have fun, Flo

Leslie and convolution

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! I have just asked myself, if it is a good idea to use an IR of a Leslie for simulating a Leslie. Correct me, if I'm bloody stupid, but working on the basics of convolution, it doesn't look promising. Since you take the IR of the Leslie and then apply the full IR to each sample, meaning, that you might get more of a whirling reverb? Or is there another technique, to apply an IR and cycles. Just one "sample" of the IR to one sample of the input signal. If I am completely wrong, a simple no will suffice. My knowledge of this is basic. I've only got some knowledge from a lecture called "signal theory' to back me up and it should probably be called "an introduction to" or "basics of" at that. :-) Warm regards Julien =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Such Is Life: Very Intensely Adorable; Free And Jubilating Amazement Revels, Dancing On - FLOWERS! ====== Find my music at ====== http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html .....................................

"It's beyond the pale that we today have all the communication technology Gene Roddenberry (August 19, 1921 – October 24, 1991) just could dream about, but the way it could be used today is weak." +1000. I would not say I am against Twitter, rather against all those patents and copyrights that just keep us in the dark ages of digital technology.
