Announcing phasex-0.12.0-pre1:
The pre-release is here. It's stable. It builds cleanly. No build
errors or warnings. No runtime errors or crashes. No glitches.
If no bugs are found in the next week, then this code (with the
addition of some brand-new patches) will become the stable release.
Changes since phasex-0.12.0-beta4:
- Build system overhaul. GCC version detection for better arch-
specific optimization (compiles clean with gcc-3.4.x or higher).
Atom builds fall back to next-best optimizations for GCC < 4.5.x.
New --enable-32bit and --cpu-power-level= flags and better user
variable handling for ./configure. Missing -lpthread in link phase
is fixed.
- Velocity control for the amplifier. Better aftertouch handling.
- Scheduling policy defaults to SCHED_RR, and can be changed in the
settings at runtime.
- Broken ringbuffer code has been fixed. No more glitches (unless you
have actually run out of CPU).
- Theme loading has been fixed. Now properly detects if the nodoka
theme engine is installed, and quietly falls back to an engineless
theme.
- Fullscreen and Maximize interaction have been fixed.
- New command line options: -m (--midi-channel=), -f (--fullscreen),
and -M (--maximize). Loading a patch by name or by program number
on the command line now finds the appropriate patch in the patchbank.
- The lurking patch name corruption bug has been fixed!
- And more. See the ChangeLog for details...

I've got a new monitor. When running Phasex on my new Monitor the first
time, I was able to see, that it would be possible to use Phasex with my
old monitor too, but using the old monitor I wasn't able to see this and
it was impossible to use the GUI to change the settings ;). It would be
better to have a default for the fonts and the GUI display that fits
better to old monitors. :) Ralf
Hello all,
I'm currently writing an arpeggiator that syncs to JACK tempo. It's
starting to get usable, and I'm running out of excuses not to let others try
it out.
Basic features/requirements:
- svn / tarball only now
- gtkmm-based, so dev packages for gtkmm and friends are needed to build
(and obviously jack)
- I've only built it on Ubuntu Studio (karmic) 64bit. I'm looking for
others to let me know if it builds/runs elsewhere.
- requires JACK time master to be rolling for the arpeggiators to do
anything. Qtractor and Seq24 have worked well for me.
- will pass midi events thru when JACK time master is not rolling.
- 4 arpeggiators with transpose, interval, range, note duration selectable
thru UI.
- Each arp has it's own JACK midi in and out port, so you can cascade
arpeggiators.
- Preliminary support for scales and modes - all of them are not correct,
but try major, dorian, diminished and augmented for starters :)
It sounds great with each arpeggiator driving an instance of calf mono.
Check out the ogg/mp3 clip on sourcefourge.
Thanks all,
Looking forward to any and all feedback.
Hi,
ams 2.0.1 has just been released.
tar.gzip and tar.bzip2 are available at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/alsamodular/files/
the NEWS:
========================================
ams-2.0.1 (2009-12-26)
Fixed Bugs
o Compile error for Qt 4.2 fixed
o Highlight MIDI controller in Control Center,
if MIDI event has been received.
o Fix crash unbinding multiple controllables connected to the
same midi controller.
o Initialized variable in env-module.
Fixes env-module mute bug discribed by lee(mrleelee).
General Changes
o MIDI channel numbering changed from 0..15 to 1..16.
ams-2.0.0 (2009-06-12)
New Features
o Redesign of 3D look
o Application icon
o German translation
o Keyboard shortcuts for menu and dialog items
o Menu item for recently opened files
o French translation (by Fank Kober)
o New --name command line option to specify the ALSASEQ/JACK
clientname
o Legato in monophonic mode using the "--poly 1" command line
option (by Atte Andre Jensen)
General Changes
o Port form Qt 3 to Qt 4.x library.
o A newly written autoconf/automake environment now provides the
usual "./configure && make && make install" comfort.
o Command line options are reworked.
- JACK now is the default interface, if the connection fails ams
connects to ALSA. This behavior can be modified using the -J and
-A options.
- The initial patch file to be loaded no longer needs the -l
option.

Greetings,
A quick note of deep gratitude to all Linux audio users and devs from
whom I have learned and continue to learn so much.
Thank you, and I hope you all enjoy the best of the holiday season.
Best,
dp
Please allow me to echo what many others have already said so eloquently on the LA* lists:
On behalf of the Linuxaudio.org consortium, L2Ork, and personally I would like to extend very best Holiday wishes to all LA* users, developers, artists, enthusiasts, supporters, contributors, companies, and sponsors. May we have many more years of a thriving community and bountiful creativity.
Likewise, I would like to express deepest gratitude to all who have contributed towards making audio on Linux not only possible but also remarkable! After all, Linuxaudio.org, L2Ork, or many of my personal projects would've never been possible without your talents and generous contributions!

Hi,
I had a thought that maybe the network sound card should not be using
ethernet but instead wireless 802.11n.
The ralink rt2870 chipset is well supported at full 300Mb/s on Linux and
has open source drivers.
I think this would open up a lot of opportunities with a wireless sound
card.
I'm not sure how many are on the market right now but I haven't heard of
any yet so there is a big opportunity there to fill a gap.
Cheers.

Suppose you wanted a soft-synth to be instantly playable at startup
(given the option: '--autoconnect') then what would be the ALSA
functions for:
1) Saving the current "live" connection at exit (if any.)
2) Restoring the above (saved information.)

jack_capture
============
jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default
operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into
a file, but it can do a number of other operations as well.
0.9.32 -> 0.9.36
* Add support for OGG (requires sndlib>=1.0.18)
* Check if file format is supported by sndlib before creating file
* Added auto-support for WVE, MPC2K and RF64. (untested)
* Reset terminal colors when exiting.
* Check dependencies for various programs in the Makefile
* Tried to make it even more clear (if that's possible) that
'jack_capture --port system:playback_1 --port system:playback_2'
does exactly the same as the default.
* Added untested patch from Orcan Ogetbil to make jack_capture compile on
a ppc64 platform.
In case jack_capture is ran on a ppc64 platform, a warning is printed
during runtime.
* Clearing up licenses
* A fix for open() from Florian Faber.
* A couple of gui fixes from Orcan Ogetbil.
Ceres
****************************
Ceres is a large program for doing various sound effects in the frequency
domain and displaying sonograms. The program has been developed for about
13 years, and is mainly made by Øyvind Hammer with contributions from
Jonathan Lee, Stanko Juzbasic and many others.
0.46 -> 0.48:
-Various fixes to make it build with fc11
-Include openmotif to make it easier to build
-Various makefile fixes
Hello list,
I recently wrote a sequencer for multi-touch/collaborative music
composition as part of my thesis. I currently set the PPQ to 128 which
ought be enough for demonstration purposes and early testing. Now, I am
wondering how to support higher PPQN efficiently. Some of you guys might
have an experience in doing that; I've seen that renoise supports up to
4096 PPQN and DigitalPerformer uses some kind of variable clocking. Have
you heard or implemented of techniques that are smarter than just
cranking up the _fixed_ clock resolution? As timestamps I currently use
64bit ints, I guess I could encode the timing as (tick, +subdivisions)
and poll the timing for the next event(s) and set the clock accordingly.
Would that be worth it? Any general opinions about the max PPQN?
thanks,
so long...
Niklas
