The timbre of that synthesised sound has to come from timbre control and modification mechanisms if one wants something more sophisticated than an on/off of a waveform. Granted, these waveforms may be quite complex but that are not the same as a full note sample.

Yes, a hybrid is what I'm thinking about I suppose. And probably what
I really mean is granular synthesis - which is just sampling after
all, just with a different time scale.
Oh well...
James.
gx_head is a simple guitar mono tube amplifier simulation based
on the work we have done in the guitarix project.
WAIT, NO,
We decide it's time to sync our project name and our project we work on.
So we replace guitarix /gx_head by guitarix2,
This release is a full replacement for guitarix and/or gx_head in any sense.
You cant have install the old guitarix and/or gx_head parallel to this release.
Please uninstall all older versions before use this one.
please refer to our project page for more information:
http://guitarix.sourceforge.net/
new features in short:
* reworked GUI controllers
* reworked rc-style files
* replace clean tube modes by a clean <-> distortion controller
* new cab models and controls (level, bass, treble)
* new tonestack models
* make tonestacks and cabs a move-able module
* cleaner effect rack construction
* customizable effect rack order (horizontal, vertical)
* a bunch of what I have forget to mention here
have fun

For extra Impulse Responses, gx_head uses the
zita-convolver library, and,
for resampling we use zita-resampler,
both written by Fons Adriaensen.

For faust users :
All used Faust dsp files are included in /gx_head/src/faust,

The tools we use to convert (post-processing and plot)
the resulting faust cpp files to the needed include format,
stay in the /gx_head/tools directory.

Hi *,
The LAC 2011 site just ascended. All conference material (proceedings,
video recordings, slides, etc) has been made publicly available.
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2011/
We'd like to thank all speakers and everyone who volunteered to make
this an enjoyable event; in particular Frank Neumann, John Lato, Victor
Lazzarini and special thanks to Jörn Nettingsmeier.
enjoy,
robin for the LAC-2011 team.
Hi :)
could you please add a dependency to audio/MIDI app packages for your
distros, that will set up real-time usage?
The following issue is wide spread:
-------- Forwarded Message --------
> Be sure you are able to run audio apps with the right
privileges, eg.
> add your user to the "audio" group in /etc/groups and check
> out /etc/security/limits.conf for these lines
> @audio - rtprio 100
> @audio - nice -10
Thank you :)
I'm experienced in setting up audio/MIDI DAWs on Linux. Btw.
setting up nice is nonsense, since it's for rt ;), but memlock
is needed.

Cheers!
Ralf
I can't see any reason not do add such a dependency. Or is there a good
reason not to do?
Thanks,
Ralf
Hi,
I've forked Specimen primarily to provide frequency Modulation of the
LFOs and to make all the LFOs and ADSRs independent so that there is
no longer a single dedicated ADSR and a single dedicated LFO for ie
pitch modulation, but two 'inputs' for pitch modulation for which the
choice of all ADSRs and all LFOs is available.
Please read the README for more information:
https://github.com/jwm-art-net/Petri-Foo#readme
The current state of Petri-Foo is that the LFOs and ADSRs have been
made independant and are, AFAICT, working as should. The GUI is not
yet up to date, but changes have been made enough to get a basic idea
of what's going on.
Please do read the README before commenting. I've tried to do things
properly! I'm only human and only a hobbyist coder.
Cheers,
James.

Hi all,
I'm glad to announce the release of NASPRO 0.2.91.
NASPRO (http://naspro.atheme.org/) is meant to be a cross-platform
sound processing software architecture built around the LV2 plugin
standard (http://lv2plug.in/).
The goal of the project is to develop a series of tools to make it
easy and convenient to use LV2 for sound processing on any (relevant)
platform and for everybody: end users, host developers, plugin
developers, distributors and scientists/researchers.
This is mostly a bugfix release with a "not officialy supported" port
to Win32/64 and bunch of LV2 data-only bundles containing handcrafted
the equivalent of all LRDF data I could find.
It includes:
NASPRO core: the portable runtime library at the bottom of the architecture;
NASPRO Bridge it: a little helper library to develop
insert-your-API-here to LV2 bridges;
NASPRO bridges: a collection of bridges to LV2 which, once
installed, allow you to use plugins developed for other plugin
standards in LV2 hosts.
In particular, the NASPRO bridges collection includes two bridges: a
LADSPA (http://www.ladspa.org/) 1.1 and a DSSI
(http://dssi.sourceforge.net/) 1.0.0/1.1.0 bridge.
All of the code is released under the LGPL 2.1 license.
Due to a couple of issues with Lilv
(http://drobilla.net/software/lilv/) 0.4.2 and zynjacku
(http://home.gna.org/zynjacku/) 6, the installation of such bundles
has to be explictly requested at ./configure time.
Furthermore, patches to fix a tiny bug preventing Lilv 0.4.2 from
properly working with dynamic manifests and to try to fix (i.e.,
perhaps more a hack than a fix) cross-referencing among bundles w.r.t.
dynamic manifests in zynjacku 6 are avialable in the Downloads page.
More information is available on the project's website.
Enjoy!
This was just posted on the YouTube ComputerHistory channel:

This was already recorded in 2004, so maybe some of you have already
seen it. For the others (including myself) it should be interesting to
watch. :)

Jack 0.120.2 is now available.
http://jackaudio.org/downloads/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.120.2.tar.gz
This is primarily a bug fix release, though some of the bugs are important.
Fixes/Changes
* Fix issues with stack initialization in client threads that
stole large chunks of the stack from applications.
* if the ALSA backend finds that a device is busy, try to tell the
user what application(s) are using it (via stderr).
* Reimplement the jack_cycle_wait/jack_cycle_signal() API for OS
X, where in previous versions it was completely non-functional.
* extended documentation for the transport API data structures.
* extended documentation for the JACK Session API
* more useful warning message when duplicate port registration is attempted
* fix logic for setting up device parameters in the ALSA backend
(fixes JACK startup on some ALSA-supported devices that would report
"impossible sample width (1) discovered" during startup).
