The key to do this is to have a high priority thread waiting for an *absolute* time, and then each time increment that time by the required delta. Note that this is fundamentally different from using sleep or similar functions. With those you wait for a certain time. So if your previous event was late, the next one will be late as well just because you start waiting for it too late. So all the errors will add up, and you will *never* get the correct event frequency. When you wait until an absolute time, any latency on the previous event does not affect the following ones. The errors don't accumulate. So what to wait for ? That could be any system call that takes an absolute timeout rather than a maximum waiting time. On Linux I'd use something like sem_timedwait(). To set the initial timeout, the corresponding clock can be read with clock_gettime(), using the CLOCK_MONOTONIC option. Don't know about Apple. Last time I looked it didn't have clock_gettime(), but it has gettimeofday(). Note that it is not gettimeofday() that is the cause of the problem you mentioned, it is using sleep() or usleep().

Deriving a steady MIDI clock crossplatform?

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I wonder how would you best derive a steady MIDI clock in software for a cross platform application? Cross platform in this case almost certainly means Linux and mac. I know about one or two applications that use the timeofday/sleep mechanism, but from first hand experience I know that these tend to drift and wobble. This becomes apparent when syncing a synth with clock synced delays to that clock. There is a slight chorus effect. Furthermore, subsequent renderings of the same song is too much out of sync. Exact re-runs are necessary with connected mono timbral instruments that have to contribute several sounds to the same song. I did think about using RtAudio with a very low blocksize. The callback function could supply a steady time source at the connected soundcard's samplerate (or any subdivision thereof). Is that feasible? Or will some function from any of the Boost libraries do? I haven't found the right one yet. The Thread library contains its versions of sleep (i.e. sleep_for) and other libraries supply all kinds of finely grained time formats. But apparently, they too are based on a timeofday based mechanism. Being new to this kind of task, I am a bit at a loss. So any practical pointers and hints are welcome.

Aeolus update

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, Version 0.10.1 of Aeolus is now available at the usual place: <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html> * Cleanup, maintenance, bug fixes. The biggest bug was probably that the 'instability' and 'release detune' parameters set in the stops editor were correctly stored into the *.ae0 files which contain the stop definitions, but NOT copied into the *.ae1 files which contain the precomputed wavetables and run-time synthesis parameters. So they would work only when the wavetables were recomputed on a running Aeolus instance (e.g. by changing tuning or temperament), and not when previously stored ones were reloaded. This makes quite a difference, as without the random delay modulation which is controlled by 'instability', the looped parts of the wavetables just become a static sound. You may also get stops-0.4.0. This includes some tweaks that I have done on my local copy over the past years, but is probably not much different from 0.3.0. You may need to modify your ~/.aeolusrc to use these. ------- Apart from bug fixes, this will be the last release using the current Aeolus framework. A completely new one is in the pipeline, but it still requires a lot of new code, testing and tuning. This will provide: * 'Chiff', the filtered noise that some pipes generate. I've finally found an algorithm that produces realistic results and that is efficient enough to work on lots of pipes. * Using multiple CPU cores. * Higher order Ambisonics output. * Binaural output (with optional head tracking). * Full separation of UI and synthesis processes, connected via a network connection.

Updates of zita-audiotools and zita-jacktools

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, zita-audiotools-1.3.0 and zita-jacktools-1.6.0 are now available at <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html>. If you have previous versions, installing these updates will require some extra work. This is for two reasons: * The python package names have changed: audiotools -> zita_audiotools jacktools -> zita_jacktools * The setup.py files now use setuptools instead of the deprecated distutils, and will install a python 'egg' directory. This requires the following actions: * Before installation, remove all traces of any previous versions from your python site-packages directory. Then just make; sudo make install; sudo make clean. * In existing applications, the import statements must be modified to refer to the new package names. Thanks to Marc Lavallée for both suggesting the name change and testing the new releases. Ciao, -- FA

SMC-22 Summer School -- June 5-7, 2022 -- Applications Now Open!

by Stéphane Letz

Greetings, The 2022 Sound and Music Computing (SMC) Summer School will take place on June 5-7, 2022 in Saint-Étienne (France), prior to the SMC conference (https://smc22.grame.fr). It will consist of three one day workshops by Michel Buffa, Ge Wang, and Yann Orlarey (see program below). The SMC-22 Summer School is free and targeted towards grad students in the cross-disciplinary fields of computer science, electrical engineering, music, and the arts in general. Attendance will be limited to 25 students. Application to apply to the SMC-22 Summer School can be made through this form: https://forms.gle/HF2Xv7QtbZG5U4hE6 (you will be asked to provide a resume as well as a letter of intent). Applications will be reviewed "on the fly" on a "first come, first served basis:" if the profile of a candidate seems acceptable, it will be automatically selected. The SMC-22 Summer School will happen in person (no video streaming): accepted candidates will be expected to physically come to the conference venue. Additional information about this event can be found on the SMC-22 website: https://smc22.grame.fr/school.html --- SMC-22 SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAM -------------------------------------------------- Michel Buffa -- Web Audio Modules 2.0: VSTs For the Web During this tutorial, you will first follow a WebAudio API presentation with examples and you will learn how to program simple effects or instruments with JavaScript. In a second part you will be introduced to "WebAudio Modules 2.0" (WAM), a standard for developing "VSTs on the Web." The new WAM ecosystem covers many use cases for developing plugins, from the amateur developer writing simple plugins using only JavaScript/HTML/CSS to the professional developer looking for maximum optimization, using multiple languages and compiling to WebAssembly. It was designed by people from the academic research world and by developers who are experts in Web Audio and have experience developing professional computer music applications. In its current state, the open source WAM 2.0 standard is still considered a "beta version," but in a stable state. The framework provides most of the best features found in native plugin standards, adapted to the Web. We regularly add new plugins to the wam-examples GitHub repository, but there are also dozens of WAMs developed by the community, such as the set of plugins created by the author of sequencer.party, who has open sourced them in their entirety. DUring this tutorial you will learn how to reuse existing plugins in a host web application, but also how to write your own reusable plugins using JavaScript, TypeScript or Faust. Bio of Michel Buffa Michel Buffa (http://users.polytech.unice.fr/~buffa/) is a professor/researcher at University Côte d'Azur, a member of the WIMMICS research group, common to INRIA and to the I3S Laboratory (CNRS). He contributed to the development of the WebAudio research field, since he participated in all WebAudio Conferences, being part of each program committee between 2015 and 2019. He actively works with the W3C WebAudio working group. With other researchers and developers he co-created a WebAudio Plugin standard. He has been the national coordinator of the french research project WASABI, that consists in building a 2M songs knowledge database that mixes metadata from Cultural, lyrics and audio analysis. -------------------------------------------------- Ge Wang -- Chunity! Interactive Audiovisual Design with ChucK in Unity In this workshop, participant will learn to work with Chunity -- a programming environment for the creation of interactive audiovisual tools, instruments, games, and VR experiences. It embodies an audio-driven, sound-first approach that integrates audio programming and graphics programming in the same workflow, taking advantage of strongly-timed audio programming features of the ChucK audio programming language and the state-of-the-art real-time graphics engine found in Unity. Through this one-day workshop, participants will learn: 1) THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CHUNITY WORKFLOW FROM CHUCK TO UNITY, 2) HOW TO ARCHITECT AUDIO-DRIVEN, STRONGLY-TIMED SOFTWARE USING CHUNITY, 3) DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR INTERACTIVE AUDIOVISUAL/VR SOFTWARE Any prior experience with ChucK or Unity would be helpful but is not necessary for this workshop. Bio of Ge Wang Ge Wang (https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~ge/) is an Associate Professor at Stanford University’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). He researches the artful design of tools, toys, games, instruments, programming languages, virtual reality experiences, and interactive AI systems with humans in the loop. Ge is the architect of the ChucK audio programming language (https://chuck.stanford.edu/) and the director of the Stanford Laptop Orchestra (https://slork.stanford.edu/). He is the Co-founder of Smule and the designer of the Ocarina and Magic Piano apps for mobile phones. A 2016 Guggenheim Fellow, Ge is the author of /Artful Design: Technology in Search of the Sublime/ (https://artful.design/), a photo comic book about how we shape technology -- and how technology shapes us. -------------------------------------------------- Yann Orlarey -- Audio Programming With Faust The objective of this one-day workshop is to discover the Faust programming language (https://faust.grame.fr) and its ecosystem and to learn how to program your own plugins or audio applications. No prior knowledge of Faust is required. Faust is a functional programming language specifically designed for real-time signal processing and synthesis. It targets high-performance signal processing applications and audio plug-ins for a variety of platforms and standards. A distinctive feature of Faust is that it is not an interpreted, but a compiled language. Thanks to the concept of architecture, Faust can be used to generate ready-to-use objects for a wide range of platforms and standards including audio plugins (VST, MAX, SC, PD, Csound,...), smartphone apps, web apps, embedded systems, etc. At the end of the workshop, you will have acquired basic Faust programming skills and will be able to develop your own audio applications or plugins. You will also have a good overview of the main libraries available, of the documentation, and of the main programming tools that constitute the Faust ecosystem. Bio of Yann Orlarey Born in 1959 in France, Yann Orlarey is a composer, researcher, member of the Emeraude research team (INRIA, INSA, GRAME), and currently scientific director of GRAME (https://www.grame.fr), the national center for musical creation based in Lyon, France. His musical repertoire includes instrumental, mixed, and interactive works as well as sound installations. His research work focuses in particular on programming languages for music and sound creation. He is the author or co-author of several musical software, including the programming language FAUST, specialized in acoustic signal synthesis and processing.
