Hi, currently I don't receive any list mails :( How can I check if I'm still in this list or if some spam filter gone wild? Christian

Adding a c timer to Kluppe

by Patrick Shirkey

Hi, I'm trying to add a threaded timer to kluppes looperdata.c looperdata_calc_sample_stereo function so that I can add a delayed restart to the loop process. Can anyone tell me why the "while" statement in the following code locks up the audio stream for the loop it is being run on? I end up with a buzz throughout the delay period instead of a nice quiet delay period. #include <stdlib.h> #include <signal.h> #include <stdio.h> /* This flag controls termination of the main loop. */ volatile sig_atomic_t isdelay_countdown = 1; /* The signal handler just clears the flag and re-enables itself. */ void catch_alarm (int sig){ isdelay_countdown = 0; signal (sig, catch_alarm); } vol = data->vol; if(data->playbackdelay > 0){ /* Establish a handler for SIGALRM signals. */ signal (SIGALRM, catch_alarm); isdelay_countdown = 1; /* Call alarm to countdown length of playbackdelay */ alarm ((int)data->playbackdelay); /* Check the flag once in a while to see when to quit. */ while(isdelay_countdown){ looperdata_set_vol(data,0); data->isplaying = 0; } } /* return to start of loop */ looperdata_set_vol(data,vol); data->isplaying = 1; data->playindex += data->loopstart - data->loopend; -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd

Rubber Band Library v1.5.0 now available

by Chris Cannam

Rubber Band Library v1.5.0 is now available. http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband/ This release adds a key-frame mapping facility for managing variable stretch ratios within a single offline time-stretch pass, plus a more reliable transient detection mode for soft instruments and band-limited transient detectors to improve performance with compressed or lower-quality material. It is source and binary backward compatible with v1.4, though code written for v1.5.0 may not work with v1.4 (the new release adds one new function and one new enum). Chris

Upcoming ICMC L2Ork workshop at NYC Resistor

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Apologies for cross-posting... Dear Colleagues and fellow computer music enthusiasts, On May 30th 1pm-7pm EST @ NYC Resistor L2Ork will hold a one-day workshop on building Linux-based laptop orchestra and unique opportunities such an ensemble brings about. Synopsis: L2Ork is an ultra-affordable tool for handling administrative logistics associated with starting a new Linux-based laptop orchestra using exclusively free software and cost-efficient hardware. The workshop will cover general issues in regards to starting a Linux-based laptop orchestra, as well as provide an opportunity for the workshop participants to engage in writing for L2Ork. The workshop will also cover L2Ork's latest initiative to bridge STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and Arts in K-12 education and funding opportunities such a project may bring about. Participants will learn about: * administrative and logistical prerequisites for starting a Linux-based laptop orchestra * design considerations in designing and building adequate infrastructure (speakers, soundcard, system configuration and optimization) * streamlining Linux platform * optimizing Pure-Data software for GUI-based networked performances * ensuing creative opportunities of a networked laptop orchestra * design strategies and standards developed for writing pieces for the L2Ork ensemble * education-based opportunities attained through L2Ork's ultra-affordable infrastructure * logistical considerations in building GUIs for a diverse group of performers with widely varying amount of musical training and experience * wiimote strategies for an ensemble-oriented performance * strategies for incorporating soloists into the L2Ork ensemble Participants will be given access to: * all L2Ork's resources, including custom code and Pure-Data abstractions designed specifically for the orchestra and its input devices * customized Pure-Data software platform with performance, editor, and GUI enhancements * access to software repository containing optimized Linux kernel and supporting software as well as turnkey Linux setup containing an entire hard-drive image of the L2Ork Linux system * detailed list of parts necessary to build L2Ork-compatible ~$250 hemispherical speakers and a ~$750/seat turnkey setup including a laptop, external soundcard, wiimote & nunchuk, headset, cables and accessories, and a custom hemispherical speaker. All participants will be also given an opportunity to interact with L2Ork members (performers and researchers alike) as well as submit their own works for programming consideration by the L2Ork ensemble. For a more detailed overview and registration info please visit: http://icmc-workshop-l2ork.eventbrite.com/ NB: please note that the times listed on the aforesaid site are in Pacific Time. For additional info on L2Ork, please visit http://l2ork.music.vt.edu. Should you happen to have any questions, suggestions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

OT-ish: realtime 2d placement algorithms :-/

by James Morris

Hello, I'm still trying to develop my boxy-sequencer idea. Basically, I've tried out a couple of algorithms for window-manager-like box placement within a grid and run into big problems. Because I need help/advice/ideas, I'm posting here as it has some relevance, and I've also posted to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2746590/fast-block-placement-algorithm-a… A quick run down of what's happened so far, the two algorithms: The first I directly based on Fluxbox's Row Smart placement algorithm. Testing only the data structures, (and with gcc -O0) jack kicked out my client after around 200 boxes were placed in a 128x128 grid. I then counted how many times the algorithm looped through the entire list of boxes and discovered (not in RT for this) that the 256th box placement required around 14000 scans through the list of 255 previously placed boxes (i've decided 256 boxes will be the worst-case-scenario). The second algorithm consists of a freebox data structure which represents a rectangular area of free unused space. It also forms a node in a doubly linked list, as well as four directional links to other freeboxes touching it (with a maximum of one freebox touching each side of a freebox)... turns out rather complex to implement fully: 700+ loc for a partial implementation of row-smart left-to-right top-to-bottom placement - theres also col-smart, r-to-l, b-to-t and all combinations. Through stackoverflow, I've come across spatial hashing. I wondered if anyone here uses this technique for the display of data (would scrollable window views use such a thing?). worth it for a 128x128 grid etc? I'm just after any general thoughts/insights you might have as to what might or might not work. Anything worth pursuing. I'm afraid there's all sorts of little things to be considered so if you do have something to suggest, please read the stackoverflow post first. Cheers for any help, if possible, James.

Bug in FST: can't find/load plugin, specified with full path

by Mike Cookson

When I give relative path, it works. I found a workaround: begin full path with dos-device name.

Novation launchpad midi driver

by Christian

Although my provider's spam filter still blocks linux audio mails, I'm happy to announce my novation launchpad midi driver. It is not a driver in the common sense, but a user space usb application which offers a midi out and in to write and receive launchpad midi messages. On my distribution(gentoo) I needed to add myself to the usb group to run this application. Download it from: http://krampenschiesser.de/launchpadd-0.1.tar.bz2 Dependencies: I know the dependencies are quite fat(boost) but this driver is part of my sequencer application, and I just want to give launchpad owners the possibility to use their pad. boost >= 1.41 (need threads, signals2, foreach) libusb-1.0 alsa pthreads To build the whole stuff you need cmake(>=2.6). Installation: $ tar -xjf launchpadd-0.1.tar.bz2 $ cmake $ make $ sudo make install $ launchpadmidid To uninstall use : $ xargs rm < install_manifest.txt I would be very happy to get some feedback from the users and developers. Coming from the Java world this is my first(finished) project in c++ and c. And I didn't know anything about USB before... So if there is a developer who has got a good knowledge of c/c++ or usb interrupt transfers it would be great if he could have a look at the code, especially the method handleWriteTransfer in LaunchpadImpl(.cpp) is a point where I'm not that sure about the interrupt handling(although it works as it is right now). If there's anyone using this application on a kernel <=2.6.27 please inform me(as the polling changed with this version).
