IRT gets it: open-source libraries for object-based audio

by Jörn Nettingsmeier

Hi *! Haven't checked this out in any detail, but the German Institut für Rundfunktechnik (a sort of science outsourcing provider for public broadcast over here, with an impressive track record of ground-breaking work) have released a substantial body of code on object-based audio under an Apache open-source license: https://lab.irt.de/more-open-source-for-open-object-based-audio-workflows/ If anyone gets interested and finds it useful, please give them a little shout-out - I guess our fellow open-source enthusiasts within those institutions can use some support! All best, Jörn -- Jörn Nettingsmeier Tuinbouwstraat 180, 1097 ZB Amsterdam, Nederland Tel. +49 177 7937487 Meister für Veranstaltungstechnik (Bühne/Studio), Tonmeister VDT http://stackingdwarves.net

Proscenion

by Benoît Rouits

Hello list, old reader of the LAU list, i decided to subscribe to the LAD to present a little project i wrote, proscenion. Proscenion is a (GPL) software that renders true phase stereo with Jack by placing jack sources into a graphical canvas and reap the stereo capture rendered on the fly. The software is not perfect and not very well written, but it is functionnal. It is written upon Gtk3 and GooCanvas: http://brouits.free.fr/proscenion/ https://gitlab.gnome.org/be1/proscenion/ Hope you will like it and ban panpot stereo from your next tune ;-) Cheers, Benoît

Writing a driver for a device which clears the buffer on the start trigger

by Paul Pawlowski

Hello, I'm writing a driver for a device which clears the BAR DMA buffer if I send the Start IO command to it. I'm not sure how to workaround this issue. I have got the driver working to some extent by moving the Start IO command code to the open() callback instead of the trigger(SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START) however that's obviously a hack and causes issues (the first ~0.1s of audio is lost). I also tried to memcpy() the memory to a temporary buffer in the SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START trigger, however that turned out to be a performance bottleneck (it took about ~300ms to copy that memory back, which is ~the period size, probably related). I'm also aware that using some sort of a copy buffer could work, but that sounds like a performance waste as it's not needed after the playback is started. I tried to search for existing kernel drivers utilizing a similar mechanism (there's the SNDRV_PCM_INFO_DOUBLE flag after all), but could not find any results that made sense. Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Paul Pawlowski

jack meterbridge 0.9.2 update / maintenance

by Stephan Bourgeois

Hi there, I have been tinkering with Steve Harris' meterbridge 0.9.2 for jack. cf. https://github.com/stephanb2/jack-meterbridge 1. Refactored global variables so that the code builds on Debian 9.2. 2. Improved (?) the dpm IEC scale and ballistics. 3. Changed the PPM ballistics to use Fons Adriaensen's JMeters algorithm. I do however have a deeper question: what is the point of jack meterbridge? Given that the broadcast and podcast industry has moved to EBU-R128 and Ebumeter offers EBU R-128 metering. JMeters offers "nostalgia" PPM and VU meters with correct ballistics, more options, better graphics. The only thing missing would be a 4x oversampling true peak meter. Should meterbridge be maintained or should another metering app de bundled with jack? Note that I am not a C engineer, my background is Java and Python. Please send code review comments and shout if you see anything horrific. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers, Stephan. -- Sent from: http://linux-audio.4202.n7.nabble.com/linux-audio-dev-f58952.html

[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.9 - Summer'19 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello all, For the third time and hopefully the last in the current northern estival season comes the final 'batch-of-one': Qtractor 0.9.9 (summer'19) is out! These are the changes for this Summer'19 release: - Fixed editing and display of 'Pgm Change' events on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll). - Introducing tempo/beat-detection support on the Clip / Tempo Adjust... dialog (provided libaubio >= 0.4.1 is available); and now also featured with some rough visual clues ;). - Updated for the newer Qt5 development tools (>= 5.13). - Imply asking for a brand new filename (ie. Save As...) whenever the session file original sample-rate differs from the current audio device engine (ie. JACK). - Configure updated to check for qtchooser availability. - Fix MIDI through for LV2 plug-ins that have no MIDI output event/atom ports. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

spectmorph-0.5.0

by Stefan Westerfeld

spectmorph-0.5.0 has been released. Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.5.0: ---------------------------------------- * Support user defined instruments - graphical instrument editor - new WavSource operator * Make standard instrument set smaller (less download/disk usage) * Graphical ADSR editor * Added "SpectMorph User Manual" (online: html/pdf) * Use different colors for active/used/unused operators * LV2 now requires instance access feature * Add file dialog wrapper shell scripts to work with some ardour bundles * Integrate XML (pugixml) and ZIP (minizip) 3rd party code * Minor fixes and cleanups What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be combined using morphing. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3 Integrating SpectMorph into your Work ------------------------------------- SpectMorph is currently available for Linux and Windows users. Here is a quick overview of how you can make music using SpectMorph. - VST Plugin, especially for proprietary solutions that don't support LV2. (Available on Linux and 64-bit Windows) - LV2 Plugin, for any sequencer that supports it. - JACK Client. Note that at this point, we may still change the way sound synthesis works, so newer versions of SpectMorph may sound (slightly) different than the current version. Links: ------ Website: http://www.spectmorph.org Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing between instruments. -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan

DrumGizmo 0.9.17 released

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng

DrumGizmo 0.9.17 Released! DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup. In this release we tried to jam in as many of our planned changes to the xml as possible. There are still a few more to go but this release has brought us a large step closer to our feature-complete xml format. Quite a few other major features has also found their way into this release, which will be much more visible (and audible) to the users. Highlights: Improved sample selection algorithm. Clicky-kit feature. Midnam support. Directed choke functionality. Drumkit metadata support. Experimental Cocoa UI support for MacOSX. Also some bug fixes and a lot of code refactoring (replaced eXpat with pugixml for one). For a detailed description of all the new shiny features, including audio samples and lots of screenshots, see the changelog for 0.9.17 [1]. And now, without further ado, go grab 0.9.17 [2] [1]: https://drumgizmo.org/wiki/doku.php?id=changelog:drumgizmo-0.9.17 [2]: http://www.drumgizmo.org/wiki/doku.php?id=getting_drumgizmo
