The first version of jack_nuke is released !
jack_nuke is a client for the Jack Audio Connection Kit used to
generate "unwanted" data on jack ports (both midi and audio) to test
the robustness of other jack client applications. For those who've
heard of Jack demolition, jack_nuke proposes similar functionalities
as far as audio is concerned (jack_nuke is based on its code).
The midi testing part is intended to test jack midi clients and works
for both jack current trunk API and the jack midi branch API, thanks
to come magic provided by Nedko Arnaudov.
The homepage can be found here : http://home.gna.org/jacknuke/
You can download tarballs there : http://download.gna.org/jacknuke/
Go ahead and crash-test your favorite apps !

Ken's blog <http://www.restivo.org/blog/archives/80>, mentions the
Lucia IR used in jace's demo configuration. I'll have to temper
Ken's excitement a bit: it is not Santa Lucia Basilica in Siracusa,
but the one in Bologna, now the university's aula magna. See here:

Still a nice place to shake the plaster off the walls :-)

Follie! Follie! Delirio vano è questo !
Announcing the 20070418 release of WhySynth, a DSSI softsynth
plugin.
New since the last major release:
* Two new oscillator modes: phase distortion similar to that used
in the Casio CZ series synths, and another FM mode.
* GUI enhancements.
* Improvements to the envelope generators, making them more
responsive to realtime parameters changes.
* A few new patches.
* Some GCC 4 fixes.
Find WhySynth here:
http://home.jps.net/~musound/whysynth.html

and plugins can be found here:

I built a computer to run Linux and Ardour. I installed a GeForce 7300
GS video card in it. With help from Paul Davis and others on this
forum, I was able to get jack/ardour/hydrogen/etc working. However,
xruns problems make these programs unusable. I think the video card is
causing the xruns, because they go away after about 15 seconds of no
motion with the mouse or files in the GUI. As soon as I move the mouse
or open a popup menu or anything else, the xruns return and sequire
several seconds to go away.
With this card I am also getting long streams when I move things around
on the Windows desktop. The ghosting also happens in Ubuntu, but is not
as severe.
I have read a little about changing interrupt priority at
http://lowlatency.linuxaudio.org/ , but I could use some guidance and
opinions on what to do.
I plan on installing Ubuntu Studio when it comes out in a couple of days.
I have a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 mobo and a Pentium D-930 processor.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
Today I've woke up and promptly decided to let a new official Qsynth be
released as is from CVS HEAD. No big deal as there aren't any big news
anyway :)
So be it. And there it is: Qsynth 0.2.6 is out.
As you can read from the change log, most are only nitpicking ones:
- Main panel window now keeps its previous iconic state on system tray,
on application restart (thanks to Chris Cannam for hinting this one).
- Minor optimization in peak level meters update rate. Alternate but
faster inline lroundf() function implementation is now used.
- Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, which were
causing some sticky size behavior on some window managers.
- Messages and channels window captions can now be set smaller as
tool-widgets, in effect when child windows are kept always on top.
- While on the engine setup dialog, the ALSA sequencer client identifier
is now also disabled depending on the MIDI input option setting.
- Experimental soundfont loader which prevents RAM image duplication if
more than one engine loads the same soundfont file. Server-mode is now
supported on multi-engine configurations by auto-incrementing the shell
socket listening port (both patches handed by Dave Searls, thanks).
- Engine name gets through the respective tab title when created. Fixed
engine delete button enabling on the main window.
- Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, on qsynth.spec (RPM).
- Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas).
- GPL address update.
Of course, available in the usual sites:
http://qsynth.sourceforge.nethttp://sourceforge.net/projects/qsynth
Enjoy.

Announcing a new release of the hexter DSSI plugin.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?
group_id=104230&package_id=134428
hexter is a software synthesizer that models the sound generation of
a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. It can easily load most DX7 patch bank
files, accept patch editing commands via MIDI sys-ex messages, and
recreate the sound of the DX7 with greater accuracy than any other
open-source emulation (that the author is aware of...) hexter
operates as a plugin for the Disposable Soft Synth Interface (DSSI).
No exciting new features come in version 0.6.1, just these:
* Backed out a change in version 0.6.0, where the plugin was
installed under a different name than the 0.5.x versions --
something which created headaches for distribution packagers.
* Added a backward-compatibility feature so that version 0.6.1
can be used with existing projects made using 0.5.x versions,
without changing how they sound.
More information about hexter and DSSI can be found at:
http://dssi.sourceforge.net/hexter.html

hi everyone!
finally, the last missing dumps of the Linux Audio Conference streams
have been uploaded raw and uncut to
http://lad.linuxaudio.org/events/2007_tub/
(the last few files are uploading as i type).
since the stream team was confronted with a workload so high as to cause
severe thrashing (i.e. lots of running around without getting anything
done), we have not been able to produce stream dumps in any sensible
form. hence, we need YOU to help with post-processing.
please grab some of the files you find at the address mentioned above,
and sign up to
http://www.medienwissenschaft.hu-berlin.de/lawici/index.php/Stream_post-pro…
so that people know who is working on what and will not duplicate your work.
sorry for this hassle, and thanks in advance for your efforts.
best,
jörn

Hi all,
Here is a big new version with many changes, new features and fixes:
- New algo:
- faster, more robust, etc.
- only one (optional !) parameter (and a little bit more intuitive)
- fftw3 dependent
- Add OSS support
- Add Portaudio support
(FMIT should be Win and Mac compatible with configure flags:
--disable-jack --disable-alsa --disable-oss)
- Filter frequencies out of range
- Moved views in dB scales
- Thick lines in graphs
- A personal string for the packagers, visible in the about box
- Discrete Fourier Transform module: dedicated to be more a pedagogic module
than a usefull tool.
- Configure panel review
- And my favorite new feature: a donation button under the website !
- and so much I forgot ...
I was busy for a very long time, so sorry to people I do not answer.

Comments, remarks, test, bug reports and rotten tomatoes are all welcome.
Have fun,

PS. for packagers: could you send me your repository website, or something
like this ? I'll reference them under the website.
PS. for packagers: you can now use: ./configure
--enable-packager-string="Jean-Michel de Lattre <mimi.lattre(a)jemlapet.com>"
PS. for all: you know there is a new feature on the website: donate ! :P
