BEAST/BSE version 0.6.1 is available for download at:
ftp://beast.gtk.org/pub/beast/v0.6/
or
http://beast.gtk.org/beast-ftp/v0.6/
This is a development version of BEAST/BSE, the BEdevilled Audio SysTem
and the Bedevilled Sound Engine. BEAST is a powerful music composition
and modular synthesis application released as free software under the
GNU GPL and GNU LGPL, that runs under unix.
The project is hosted at:
http://beast.gtk.org
A mailing list is available at:
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/beast/
This new development series of BEAST comes with a lot of
the internals redone, many new GUI features and a sound
generation back-end separated from all GUI activities.
Outstanding new features include support for skins, many sample
file formats, MIDI file import abilities, an improved piano roll
widget, the track editor which allows for easy selection of
synthesisers or samples as track sources, loop support in songs
and unlimited Undo/Redo capabilities.
Overview of Changes in BEAST/BSE 0.6.1:
* Added suid wrapper which acquires nice level -20, then drops privileges
* Improved latency/block-size handling of the synthesis engine
* Fixed i18n bug which prevents demo song from loading in non-C locales
* Added i18n support for enum values
* Support for more note formats like Cis-1, C#-1, #C-1
* SFI cleanups [Stefan Westerfeld]
* Restructured sfidl and fixed lots of bugs [Stefan]
* Switched core language bindnig to C++
* Added support for per-part scripts
* New harmonic transposition script which allows to convert between major,
minor, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian and locrian scales [Stefan]
* Added experimetal pattern editor prototype
* Added keybinding editor to preferences dialog
* Added ComboBox widgets to the GUI
* Updated Catalan translation [Xavier Conde Rueda]
* Updated Czech translation [Miloslav Trmac]
* Updated Serbian translation [Danilo Segan]
* Updated Dutch translation [Kees van den Broek]
* FreeBSD fixes [Rasmus Kaj]
* Lots of GUI fixes

Hi all,
tap-plugins 0.4.1 is out:
* Added TAP Equalizer/BW, which is identical to TAP Equalizer but
provides separate controls to set the bandwidth of each EQ band
filter.
* Fixed yet another crashing bug in TAP Reverberator (which appears
to be introduced upon fixing the previous crashing bug).
Hopefully no more crashing in my favorite plugin :)

TRIGGER, or MOMENTARY in my patch (http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-audio-dev@music.columbia.edu/msg11074.html), should really be 804, because it implies TOGGLED.

Ach. I have a feeling it's something to do with my nasty directory
browsing thingy.
How many files do you have in the directory? If it's just a few,
could you package it up and send it to me? If it's a lot, could I be
really cheeky and ask you to try it with a small number of files in a
dir and see what happens? If it still dies, send me a tarball of the
small directory?
Thanks for trying
James

Hi all,
This has been discussed briefly before:
http://www.music.columbia.edu/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2003-March/002834.…
It used to be possible (in the 2.0 kernel series) to the rotate priority of
IRQs on the two controllers. This sounds really good as on my laptop the
soundcard is welded to IRQ5 (very low priority) and everything else is on
IRQ10 (higher, c.f. http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/Arcana.html sec
2.4), so I can only run the card with big buffers.
The tool used to do the rotation was irqtune:
http://cae.best.vwh.net/irqtune/
I'm downloaded it, hacked it to work with 2.4, but it doesnt seem to do
anything (no errors, but no action either AFAICT). I'm wondering if somene
here knows enough about the kernel to have a clue why its not doing
anything. I can mail a patch to anyone whos interested, but as I said it
doesnt work at the moment.
I'm replacing this laptop soon, so its mostly academic interest, but it
might have been of use to someone.
Possibly something similar can be done with APIC, but it didn't seem to
work very well on this machine last time I tried.

Hi peeps,
I made something!
It's a simple sample auditor called sauditor that uses a curses
interface and displays a spectrum analyser.
It's not that great, but it does what I wanted it to. I also have a
lot more ideas, but that's for when I have time.
It outputs to jack and has a very simple interface. The spectrum
analyser is there because I like to "see" my sounds - get a good idea
of how much of the spectrum they fill - so I ca, say, pick subs that
really are subs and aren't going to mush up my kicks, or choose
strings that really feel big.
If you like it, let me know. If not, then f#!* you. Only kidding,
criticism is graciously accepted, even encouraged.
It's at http://dis-dot-dat.net/code/sauditor/

the attached patch proves that LADSPA can be extended without breaking
binary compatibility. i've compiled plugins against a patched ladspa.h
and run them in hosts compiled against ladspa.h version 1.1 without
experiencing any problems.
also attached is a short test program that demonstrates how the
extensions provided by the patch can be put to use.
to demonstrate various possibilities and their relative ease of use,
the patch implements the following extensions:
hints:
* connect_port (NULL) is ok hint
member extensions to the descriptor:
* Version (major, minor)
* Latency
* char ** PortUnits
* LADSPA_Data * DefaultValues
* LADSPA_PortValueEnum ** PortValueEnum
the PortValueEnum is a structure having a char * Label and LADSPA_Data
Value member associating a value with a label. this arrangement is
deemed to suit integer enumerations as well as arbitrary association
of values with a label.
while the patch follows the general style of the original ladspa
header, more sophistication would probably need to go into it for a
production version, especially into the comments describing the
extended version mechanism and members.
vriendelijk,
tim
caps 0.1.9 -> 0.1.10:
* all amplifier emulation plugins have been fitted a new tube
model and a preamplifier frequency response improving a lot towards
circuit simulations and measurements.
* the Cabinet amplifier combo/speaker emulation has been changed to
run calculations 64 bits wide, for much clearer sound.
in effect, a complete emulation chain (AmpIII -> Cabinet) sounds
warmer and brighter now.
-
minor improvements in other places. changelog, download etc:
http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html
as always, your feedback is appreciated. the first five caps users
reporting their experience will even enter a draw for a handcrafted,
free piece of music of the finest make!
enjoy,

If anyone else wants to get together to get a ticket on the same flight
that would be cool. Makes waiting in the airport less dull and we can
share taxis at the far end. Its still (just) early enough to get cheap
flights to Frankfurt.
The flights I'm thinking of are:
BA0908 LHR to FRA, leaving 12:30 Wed 28th Apr
BA0911 FRA to LHR, leaving 18:45 Sun 2nd May
but I havent decided yet, there are quite a few flights.
total cost is UKP 78.50 inc taxes and stuff, the train from Frankfurt to
Karlsruhe is frequent, fast, comfortable and cheap (EUR 30ish).
The lowcost airlines do cheap flights to "Frankfurt", but its to an
airport thats a long way from the city, and the times are very
inconvienient.
Additionally if anyone wants to share a taxi from Southampton to Heathrow
that would be even better :) Otherwise I'l schlep up on the train I guess.

ZynAddSubFX is using XML files
Hi.
I am Paul, the author of zynaddsubfx.
For those who you don't know about it: is a software
synthsizer for linux and windows and is located at
http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net
I added many things from 1.4.3. The most notable is
the XML support.
I have the intention to drop the compatibility to the
old formats (mas_zyn) since 2.0. Anyway, the code for
using this format is still inside zynaddsubfx to make
possible to write a file converter.
Now, zynaddsubfx requires 2 new libraries: an excelent
library called Mini-XML
(http://www.easysw.com/~mike/mxml/) and zlib.
Also, the banks are not longer stored into a single
file; now, the banks are stored as instruments into a
directory. This make very easy to manage the banks,
with any file manager.
You can checkout the cvs version; see
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=62934 for
details.
Also, if you don't want to use cvs you can download
the version from 3 March 2004 from:
http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/zynaddsubfx_cvs.tar.bz2
(Please notice that this link is temporary)
There are other features that will be documented into
2.0. Until then, there is more do be done :)
Please test it and report if happens to save a file to
XML and if is not loaded all parameters (It is
possible that I missed some parameters from XML, but I
hope not ;) )
Paul
P.S. There is a ChangeLog inside the arhive, but is
Romanian ;) (few parts are English)
