spectmorph-0.6.0

by Stefan Westerfeld

spectmorph-0.6.0 has been released. The new main features are: - SpectMorph now provides a CLAP plugin. - A filter with different filter modes was added. - A new, more flexible modulation system was added. - SpectMorph now provides visual feedback for modulated parameters. Video Tutorial for 0.6.0: https://youtu.be/watch?v=scKrf0o6e6k What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be combined using morphing. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2.1 or later Integrating SpectMorph into your Work ------------------------------------- SpectMorph is currently available for Linux, Windows and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), with CLAP/LV2/VST plugins. Under Linux, there is also JACK Support. Links: ------ Website: http://www.spectmorph.org Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing between instruments. List of Changes in SpectMorph 0.6.0: ------------------------------------ #### New features * New, more flexible modulation system * Added filter with different filter modes * Provide visual feedback for modulated properties * Provide signed .pkg installers for macOS (Intel and ARM) #### CLAP Plugin * Provide CLAP Plugin * Support for per-voice modulation * Support timestamped modulation/automation events #### LV2 Plugin * Support LV2 on all platforms * Fix crashes triggered by Carla (absolute_path/abstract_path returning NULL) * Support newer LV2 development headers #### Minor Changes * Support "Velocity" as modulation source * Make pitch bend range configurable * New Presets with filter: "Cheese Cake Bass", "Liquid Silver" * Sort midi events by timestamp to workaround Bitwig bug * Sliders now support shift+drag for fine editing * Support for Apple Silicon * Avoid crashes if XOpenIM / XCreateIC return NULL (#15). * Fix statically linked plugin data directory location (works in flatpak apps now). * Add dockerized MXE builds for windows, bump compiler version to gcc-12. * Bump minimum C++ standard to C++17 * Fix build on RISC-V (#13) * Use GitHub CI for Linux, macOS and Windows * Change license from "LGPL v3 or later" to "LGPL v2.1 or later". * Minor fixes and cleanups #### Internals: Properties * Add generic property handling * Simplify load/save/gui for properties * Support modulatable properties using ModulationList * Add gui for editing property value and ModulationList * MorphPlan is no longer ref-counted, just one instance per Project * Introduced MorphOperatorConfig objects for cleaner/faster parameter updates #### Internals: Filter * Add two filter types: "Ladder" and "Sallen-Key" filter to output operator * Integrated PandaResampler for SIMD 4x filter oversampling * Support modulation with high time resolution for filter #### Internals: UI Toolkit * Support multiple update regions in UI toolkit * Optimize drawing for UI toolkit * Support "software sprites" for efficient visual feedback * Map Ctrl+Left Click to Right Click on macOS #### Internals: Optimizations * Pass wav set pointers (instead of strings) to morph linear/grid/source. * Avoid fmod() for phase truncation. * Build using -ffast-math * NotifyBuffer: fast dsp thread -> ui thread notifications (no malloc in dsp thread) * Avoid allocations in dsp thread in many cases (retrigger, noise decoder process) * Support optimized SIMD code on ARM (Apple Silicon), code from Peter Johnson (#11) -- Stefan Westerfeld, http://space.twc.de/~stefan

stereospread.lv2 - Stereo spreading plugin (conjugate random phase all-pass filter pair)

by Florian Paul Schmidt

Hi, I wrote a small plugin for spreading mono content to stereo and I would like to receive some feedback on it from people more knowledgable in DSP matters than me. It has one nice property: It spreads the signal over the spectrum by way of a conjugate pair of random phase all-pass filters, and since it's a conjugate pair it sums back to unity when down-mixing to mono. So, no ugly comb filter effects like when downmixing a Haas-expanded signal. https://github.com/fps/stereospread.lv2 The page has an example sound.. How it works: It's actually rather simple: 1. create a vector of random phases (matlab notation): filter_length = 1000; spread = pi; hfft1 = exp(-1i*(spread*rand(filter_length,1) - spread/2)); And for the second filter just take the complex conjugate: hfft2 = conj(hfft1); This ensures that what is a phase theta in the first filter becomes a phase of -theta in the second filter, and summed that just gives a phase of 0. 2. Then assemble the coefficients such that it corresponds to a fft of a real signal and do the inverse fft (possibly I have a small error here which i needed to fix with the 'symmetric' flag in matlab): f1 = ifft([1; hfft1; conj(hfft1((end-1):-1:1))], 'symmetric'); f2 = ifft([1; hfft2; conj(hfft2((end-1):-1:1))], 'symmetric'); 3. The two IRs f1 and f2 implement the pair of filters and can be applied via convolution (which the above plugin does). It seems to be possible with little ill effect to reduce the length of the filter down to a size of 50 samples or so by just cutting it off before the convolution. What do you think? Kind regards, FPS -- https://dfdx.eu

Help with Alsa lib

by ollie razdow

I'm a bit of a noob to linux audio programming, but I'm stuck with alsa lib and wondering if someone could help. When I use the function snd_dtl_open I get the error: Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so (/usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so The library exists in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/l, but not /usr/lib/alsa-lib which doesn't exist. I suppose I could create a symlinked folder, but I'm wondering why alsa looks in that directory and what I can do get it working correctly? Thanks for any advice.

snd-firewire-ctl-services 0.1.0 released

by Takashi Sakamoto

Hi all, This is a short announcement about a new release of snd-firewire-ctl-services project. After development for mostly three years[1], version 0.1.0 is released today. If you have FireWire audio device and interests in ALSA support, the release would be worth to check out. * https://github.com/alsa-project/snd-firewire-ctl-services/releases/tag/snd-… The project provides user space service programs to operate digital signal processing function in devices supported by ALSA firewire stack. If using such device, you can configure DSP functions such as the volumes of device. For some device, effects such as dynamics and equalizers are also configurable. Available devices are listed in README.rst of the project. The service programs work as 'message broaker'. ALSA control applications are available for end-user interface to communicate to the service programs[2]. The device connected to IEEE 1394 bus is the peer. The service programs receives messages from both ends, then translates and convert the messages to send to the opposite end. Against your expectation, the project provides neither GUI programs nor end-user interfaces. I know that the user experience is heavily on look-and-feel on the GUI programs, while it is out of the aim of project. I daily use quashctl in QasTools[3] and it is pretty good to me for such ALSA control application. If encountering any issue, please file it to github repository[4]. README should be helpful to new users. Thanks for your support and long patience to ALSA firewire stack. [1] https://lists.linuxaudio.org/hyperkitty/list/linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaud… [2] For TASCAM FireWire series, ALSA sequencer application is such end as well to operate control surface.
