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

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.

AFAIKS LLVM link time optimization allows some kind of inter module inlining or possibly constant propagation (see http://llvm.org/docs/LinkTimeOptimization.html) but I am not sure it would help a lot in our domain. Again staying in the imperative world makes things much more complicated... go functional! Stéphane PS: BTW LLVM is a really nice tool and very interesting things can be done with it, like using LLVM bitcode format as an interchange format for different architectures and using the JIT for dynamic compilation. We can already do that with Faust LLVM backend where we can generate a bitcode binary, then load it and JIT with a generic "LLVM faust plug-in" loader. This would allow the same bitcode object to be produced by the Faust online compiler for instance and be executed on any target machine.

L2Ork seeking additional performance opportunities in Berlin and Paris

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Apologies for cross-posting. Linux Laptop Orchestra or (L2Ork) is currently in the final stages of planning its debut European tour. While most venues have been already arranged for we are currently in the process of seeking additional performance opportunities in Paris, France as well as Berlin, Germany. Our target dates are May 17-31, 2011 with anticipated stops in Ljubljana, Budapest, Linz, Berlin, Hamburg, Utrecht, Amsterdam, Paris, and Birmingham. If anyone is aware of potential venues in Paris and Berlin and/or contacts that may be able to point us in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it if you would please email me at your earliest convenience. For additional info on L2Ork please visit http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/ Thank you very much! Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Composition, Music Technology Director, DISIS Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio Director, L2Ork Linux Laptop Orchestra Assistant Co-Director, CCTAD CHCI, CS, and Art (by courtesy) Virginia Tech Dept. of Music - 0240 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-6139 (540) 231-5034 (fax) ico(a)vt.edu http://www.music.vt.edu/faculty/bukvic/

Project proposition: llvm based dsp engine

by Maurizio De Cecco

I have been looking for a while to LLVM as a possible technology to build a DSP execution engine, providing the runtime flexibility needed by real-time interactive DSP applications (like patcher languages), or by plug-in based processors, and in the same moment the powerful link time optimizations that such a system can provide. Such a task is daunting for a single developer project like mine, but it may become feasible if such engine could be useful for multiple projects, so to become a community initiative (i am sending this mail to the Linux Audio Developers mailing list and to the LLVM mailing list, feel free to send it elsewhere if you find it useful). So, I'll explain in a few lines exactly what i thinking of, and i propose that if anybody is interested in such initiative she/he can contact me directly, and we will see if there is enough interest for actually start something. Of course, i may also miss an existing project on the same field, in this case, let me know :->. The idea is the following: build a tool kit, based on LLVM, to dynamically build the execution chain of DSP applications; almost all DSP applications using plug-ins have something of this kind. This toolkit will be based on code generation and JIT, and should have a flexible architecture so to accomodate multiple plugin API/ABI, to be able to call, from the same execution chain, DSP operation written for different contexts (for example, LADSPA plug-ins, PD objects, and so on). The code generation would allow this integration for a very low run time cost. But the most interesting part is actually providing a definition of native, LLVM compiled, plug-ins, and to use the LLVM link time optimizations for doing things like inlining, loop fusions etc, between different DSP operation; this can provide quite a speed improvement for those chains composed of simple operators. The execution chain should be flexible enough to provide support for multi-rate synchronous data flows, and should include support for multiple threads execution (probably different chains for different threads). To complete the project, let's add a library of DSP operators, a reasonable high level API to use it, and documentation to help the DSP application designer (i find the LLVM learning curve quite steep :). Contact maurizio(a)dececco.name if you are interest in setting up such a project; if enough developers with the right skills and enough interest are found I'll set up a project mailing list to further discuss the subject.
