The Rosegarden team announce the release of Rosegarden-4 0.9.6, an
audio and MIDI sequencer and score editor for Linux. To download the
source package, go to the homepage at
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/
This release is primarily to address a significant problem with 0.9.5
that was seriously affecting sequencer timing performance for some
users. For this reason we strongly recommend an upgrade. Be aware
that one of the fixes in this release mandates the use of Qt 3.1 or
newer to build; Qt 3.0 is no longer supported.
This release also contains new translations of the GUI into Italian,
Swedish and Estonian, thanks to Daniele Medri, Stefan Asserhäll, and
Hasso Tepper. These are in addition to the existing support for US
and UK English, Russian, Spanish, German, French, and Welsh.

Hello all,
here's a new approach to improving kernel RT performance. This
specifically tries to improve interrupt latencies, so it's complementary
to the existing preempt and lowlatency patches.
# linuxdevices.com article
http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS3235024671.html
""Metrowerks Senior Software Engineer and veteran real-time programmer
Bernhard Kuhn has created a Linux kernel patch that he claims enables
hard, real-time performance in the Linux kernel by adding priorities to
interrupts and spinlocks. Kuhn believes his approach to be more "natural"
and akin to traditional real-time operating systems (RTOSs) than the
dual-kernel approach taken by real-time projects such as RTAI and RTLinux,
and he is hopeful that his patch might one day win enough interest and
support to become part of the official Linux kernel tree.""

Hello everyone,
I've recently started updating wav composer not toilet
(wcnt.sourceforge.net) the humourously named, rarely used, not-real-time
audio sequencing, sampling, synthesis wav file generator.
can anyone point me to some information about time signatures and tempo
which would be useful from a programmers perspective. I've looked on the
internet and what I found either told me nothing I did not know or just said
that time signature was irrelevant (ie for notation only) and it was down to
the performers to decide.
so far my code is based on 4/4 (4 'beats' of quarter notes per bar/measure).
a single bar has a value of 256, with halfnote 128, etc. What I need to
work out is how a different time signature will effect this, would I need to
change the value of a bar etc?
I tried some experiments in cubase (i've not got any realtime sequencers
working in linux yet) with audio blocks snapped to every half bar. What
confused me completely was when I changed the time signature to 5/8. the
snaps to half bars stayed in the same place, but the snaps to bars changed,
ending with every 5th block snapped to a half note actually landing on a
bar. Uh?
can any one shed any light ?
thanks in advance,
James Morris.

Q is a multi-platform functional programming language based on term
rewriting, which comes with a collection of useful addon modules for
system, scientific and multimedia programming. Release 4.6 of Q is now
available, along with Q-Audio 1.2 and Q-Midi 1.12.
Q 4.6 provides a much improved GGI module and a new ImageMagick module,
both very useful for programming graphics in Q. Q-Audio 1.2 features a
new module to display audio data in a GGI visual and a sample graphical
audio player application. Q-Midi 1.12 sports some minor fixes and a
simplified Windows install procedure.
Downloads and more information about the Q project can be found on the Q
website at http://q-lang.sourceforge.net
Enjoy!

Subject: [linux-audio-user] 3-D Audio: To Plug-In or Not to Plug-In?
Date: Wed, 07 Jan 2004 22:32:51 -0800
From: davidrclark(a)earthlink.net
Reply-To: davidrclark(a)earthlink.net, A list for linux audio users
<linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu>
To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu
On the 3-D audio (Interest in Software?) thread, I had promised to mail
out something on a plug-in. It got a little too long, so rather than
clog up everyone's mailbox, I went ahead and put it in:
http://home.earthlink.net/~davidrclark/linux_audio_users/Plug-in.html
If this isn't proper nettiquette for this user's mailing list, someone
please do let me know. It would be easier just to email my ramblings.
---------------------
Bottom line is: I'm not sure if it makes sense as a plug-in or not.
I think I may provide the impulse response function generator and my
own convolution engine, then let one of the plug-in gurus see what they
can do, if they want to. If nothing happens, it'll be a command-line
thingy until I get motivated to GUI it all up.
No schedule, but I'd be happy to provide a crude tarball to anyone who
wants to try and deal with it at any time. I PROMISE it won't be easy
without some instruction. Please email me privately also so that I'm
sure to see it.
Thanks,
Dave.

+++ AGNULA/DeMuDi 1.1.0 approaching - early packages testing

As we approach the release of AGNULA/DeMuDi 1.1.0 [0] we'd like to
spread awareness on the availability of the debian packages we've been
working on in the past weeks.
These packages are built against a frozen snapshot of Debian Unstable
[1], but they should work on Sarge systems too, as there haven't been
any major upgrade between the two. They won't work without major
overhaul on Debian Woody systems, unfortunately. [2]
If you are running a Sarge or Sid debian system, we would appreciate
early testing of our packages. Instructions on downloading them can
be found at:
http://www.agnula.org/download/demudi/demudi_1_1_0_apt
We value all your bug reports, suggestions, criticisms and anything
else you feel would be useful for us to improve our work.
You can find instructions on how to report bugs and requests here:
http://www.agnula.org/development/agnula_bugs_requests/
while instructions on how to contact us are available here:

About AGNULA: Agnula (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution,
pronounced with a strong g) is the name of a project funded by the
European Commission (number of contract: IST-2001-34879; key action

to spread Free Software in the professional audio/video arena.

Hi,
on a simular note, I tried to get XGWorks to work under wine.
Installation worked only under winex3, not under wine. Runtime behaviour
is the same for both. (I just copied over the YAMAHA tree from winex to
wine)
The program only starts up if I change the wine audio driver from oss in
alsa. With oss it gives errors opening midi for in and out.
With alsa the program is fully functional except that there are no midi
devices selectable.
Does anyone have better experiences with midi under wine or with xgworks
in particular?
Thanks, Joost Damad
(P.S.: screenshot of xgworks at: http://lumatec.be/joost/xgworks.png )
