[linux-audio-dev] Preliminary spec for OpenGraphics soundcard

by spikethehobbitmage＠excite.com

Steve, > I think you mean Word Clock. you are probably right. > IIRC it's not an open design. It's owned by Alesis. That may or may not be a problem depending on their licencing requirments. Esben, No need to be sorry :) If 192kHz is to high we can always slow it down. 96 or 48 would allow more processing power to be used for other things. James, I want one too :) _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

[linux-audio-dev] first ladspa2 example?

by Julien Claassen

Hi everyone! I think, I heard, that someone already did some preliminary example for ladspa2. Am I right there? If so, where can I find it?

[linux-audio-dev] LADSPA 2

by Steve Harris

Almost two years ago at the LA conference a bunch of us agreed that something need to be done to improve LADSPA, and on the approximate direction it should take. Anyway, I finally got round to making a sketch plugin and .h file: http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa2/ The .ladspa2 plugin is a "bundle", ie. a directory with all the data the plugin needs in it. This idea is nicked from OPENSTEP. I'm not 100% convinced it's a good idea, but I think it makes sense for plugins. The dsp core (amp.c) is just a LADSPA 1.1 plugin with all the fixed data fields taken out, and a URI field added, to allow for working identification. I also dropped the runAdding method, as I dont think it is used enough to justify the effort of supporting it. The plugin is untested, but it compiles and nm reports sane contents for it. The data is in the amp.ttl file (it's in Turtle http://www.dajobe.org/2004/01/turtle/ an easy to hand-write RDF syntax). We could mandate a particular syntax for the spec. There's a shell script (show-data.sh) which, if you have raptor and rasqal installed will do something similar to what analyseplugin does for LADSPA 1.x, but it's very crude. Overall I think this is a much better approach than LADSPA 1.x, it has usable identifiers, a clear route for extensions without compatibility problems and each plugin is quite a lot simpler. - Steve

[linux-audio-dev] LADSPA Repository

by Patrick Shirkey

Hi, It is widely felt that the LADSPA plugins are becoming difficult for average users to manage due to the number of available plugins and the many different packages available. There is also a problem that developers face when managing different plugins as UniqueIds are not assigned by a central authority so it is possible that there can be double ups. I am volunteering my time to code a new web portal with the express purpose of providing a single place to get all known LADSPA plugins and packages. It will be hosted at ladspa.linuxaudio.org. it will also serve as a central automated authority for assigning UniqueIds. I would like to use this thread to discuss the finer details of the functionality of the site and how to make a package of all Plugins which will also be hosted on the site. The site will be run with a MYSQL DB. I intend to code it in AJAX style with a PHP+MYSQL backend. It will be a fully automated web portal and administrative interface. Here are the features: --------------- - Add new plugin/s via batch or manual upload/insert - Automated assigning of UniqueIds - Create complete package tarball automatically - Administrative interface for managing plugins and developer profiles etc... - User friendly frontend with accessibility: css, java, php, html, xml ---------------- I will appreciate your indepth analysis of the best methods to allow the above features for the portal. At this stage the most important points to discuss are how to manage the plugins efficiently and with minimal overhead and assigning UniqueIds automatically.

Ladspa is not linux-specific, but it has certainly originated from linux, and has the best support in linux software. If linux dissapears before the ladspa format, we can at least still remember linux through the name of ladspa... Regarding your argumentation about the prononounciation, I think its a bit anglocentric language-vice. In most other countries (scandinavian, german, spanish, belgian, dutch, slavic (I might be wrong about some of these though)), where the "a" is actually pronounced like the round "ah" (and very short in this case), and you don't have to move the mouth that much as in english (and especially in american english), "ladspa" sounds really cool and is not very difficult to say. A good solution to this problem would be if the english speakers started to allways say the more common rounder "ah" instead of "a", not only for ladspa, but for all acronyms. I think the argument about S is valid enough though, but not a good enough argument to change a name we all have learned and love(?). As an alternative, we can change the meaning of s into something else, like Super, Second, Sophisticated, System, Steve, Sourcecode, Syntax, Structure, Success, Superb, Superior. To name a few, well, I'm sure there are better alternatives. > ---- > > My suggestion is that we ressurect the XAP name > (http://www.google.com/search?q=lad+xap) > It stood for Xap Audio Plugin IIRC. > > Pros: it's short*, relatively unused** and pronouncable*** > > Cons: xap.{com,org,net} will have gone long ago (too short), theres a > small ammount of baggage. > I think its too short. Its not cool, and its hard to remember from the pronounciation.

[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] libgig 3.0.0

by Christian Schoenebeck

Hi! Usually I don't announce new versions of libgig here anymore, but this release might be of interest for some: Beside a bunch of bug fixes it now also allows to modify existing and create new Gigasampler files. If anybody's interested in writing a .gig editor, have a look at the "gigwritedemo.cpp" example application: http://stud.hs-heilbronn.de/~cschoene/projects/libgig/#examples libgig is released under (pure) GPL and as always available on its original site: http://stud.hs-heilbronn.de/~cschoene/projects/libgig/ as well as on the LS server: http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/ CU Christian P.S. I just restored the old libgig source packages on the LS server, all other packages will be restored after LAC (that is next week) - I know the downloads section on LS.org was dead for too long now, sorry!

[linux-audio-dev] LADSPA2 name early consensus

by Steve Harris

OK, it seems like the consensus is clear to me. So far, most people want to use/keep LADSPA2. I ran it through a condorcet program, just to make sure, but it't not in doubt. FWIW, by my count the pure "acceptable" numbers came out as: 17 ladspa2 7 xap 6 peep 5 apa 4 sax 4 plux 3 rap 2 peeper 2 eep 1 wasap 1 sap 1 pea 1 openplux 1 lapa 1 fap 1 clap 1 chap And the condorcet pattern was: 9 ladspa2 1 ladspa2>apa>sax 1 ladspa2>plux 1 ladspa2>sap>xap>peep>peeper>sax>fap>eep>clap>chap>apa>rap>pea>wasap>rap 1 ladspa2>lapa>plux>xap 1 openplux>plux>ladspa2 1 peep 1 peeper>peep>apa 1 plux>apa>ladspa2 1 sax>eep>xap 1 xap>apa>ladspa2 1 xap>peep 1 xap>rap>peep 1 xap>sax>peep>ladspa2 Only 23% of those voters would find LADSPA2 unacceptable, next best is XAP which 68% would find unacceptable. I wasn't especially rigourous, so I may have missed, or misinterpreted someones vote. Someone could poll the LAU list if they felt inclined. I think that we should give the people who's names appear on the original .h file a veto, as were doing some radical changes to the design - though hopefully still in the spirit of the original. It doesn't look like we'd ever reach consensus on any other name though. *sigh* I guess I should invest in an anti-RSI keyboard. - Steve

[linux-audio-dev] "LADSPA2" name early consensus?

by Steve Harris

Discusson seems to have slowwed down a bit, so I went through the list archive and pulled out all the names: apa chap clap eep fap ladspa2 pea peep peeper rap sax wasap xap ---- I vetoed ape and meep as the name clashes are too close. To see if theres early consensus lets run a condorcet vote on the options. If everyone posts thier preference in order seperated by >, eg. foo>bar>baz means "I'd like foo, but if I cant have that I'l have bar, and if I cant have that I'l have baz, everything else is unacceptable". Then we can run it thorugh an online voting system. - Steve
