1st International Faust Conference - Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz
(Germany), July 17-18, 2018
The International Faust Conference (IFC-18: http://www.ifc18.uni-mainz.de)
will take place at the Johannes Gutenberg University
<http://www.uni-mainz.de/> of Mainz (Germany) on July 17-18, 2018. It aims
at gathering developers and users of the Faust programming language
<http://faust.grame.fr/> to present current projects and discuss future
directions for Faust and its community.
Participants will be able to share their work through paper presentations.
A series of round tables on various topics will serve as a platform to
brainstorm on Faust's features, semantics, tools, applications, etc. to
determine future directions for this language. Open spaces for demos and
workshops will be available for participants to openly share their ongoing
projects with the rest of the community.
As a special event, the winner of GRAME's Faust Open-Source Software
Competition will be announced during IFC-18.
IFC-18 is free and everyone is welcome to attend!
*Call for Papers*
We welcome submissions from academic, professional, independent
programmers, artists, etc. We solicit original papers centered around the Faust
programming language <http://faust.grame.fr/> in the following categories:

Hello Lists,
Tomorrow and the day after is the Sonoj Convention! You can watch the
live video stream when it starts 10:40 CET and see all the talks!
https://streaming.media.ccc.de/sonoj2017
Please share that link in all the forums and social media where you
think it is appropriate.
For more information and a schedule please see https://www.sonoj.org

jalv.select is a little gtkmm GUI to select lv2 plugs from a list and
run them with jalv.
Features:
select jalv interpreter from combo box,
select LV2 plugin from list,
select preset to load from menu,
search plugins by regex or plugin class,
reload lilv world to catch new installed plugins or presets,
load plugin with selected preset,
minimize app to systray (global Hotkey SHIFT+ESCAPE),
wake up app from systray (global Hotkey SHIFT+ESCAPE):
left mouse click on systray to show or hide app
right mouse click to show quit menu item
command-line start-up options:
beside that, you could now mark plugs as your "Favorite" to concatenate
them to a Favorite list. This will give you fast access to your beloved
plugs.
https://github.com/brummer10/jalv_select/releases/tag/V0.9
(Disclaimer: I am an organizer of this event)
In less than a month the "Sonoj Convention" shall happen.
[quote]Admission is free. You will be able to enjoy demonstrations,
talks and workshops about music production through open source software.
Hands-on tutorials and workflow presentations can be expected.
Everything will be recorded and released as online videos afterwards.

Please consider helping us by donating and spreading the word. You will
get some appreciation through the "Reward" system on the website.
For that we are asking for some modest donations here:
https://www.startnext.com/en/sonoj
Currently it looks like that this will not succeed, as you can see from
the link above. This is the usual "all or nothing" platform that only
gives you money if the goal is reached, otherwise donors get their money
back.
However, despite submitting the event announcements and several updates
to nearly one hundred on-topic websites, magazines (including posting it
ourselves on KVR, Reddit etc.) and blogs there is nearly zero response.
That excludes the Linux Audio Scene itself, which was very supportive to
this day (at least the news, not the donations).
I was hoping that Sonoj could be an event that brings in people from the
"outside", that are not already well connected with Linux Audio. It
seems I was wrong.
So here I am in one of the last places I wanted to ask for donations,
because this is the crowd that usually already gives a lot, be it their
own time, development of software or actual donations to well deserving
projects.
Please consider helping us by donating and spreading the word. You will
get some appreciation through the "Reward" system on the website.

Hi,
I'm facing a timing jitter which happens periodically due to some interrupt,
which is causing the task to be delayed. Since this happens periodically, it
is indeed a slow varying timing jitter, for example every 400ms, the timing
deviation is in the order of few ms ( 4-6ms). This is not getting filtered
out by DLL, and results in a slow varying oscillations which never dies.
Any way to identify and limit these timing jitters and not to take any
action on drift correction by DLL ?

GNU Guitar is a guitar effects processor, much like Guitarix and Rakarrack.
It was started about ten years ago, formally known as GNUitar. Over the last year, it has been refactored (and some parts completely rewritten) to use modern software technologies. It's cross-platform, so it runs on Linux systems and Windows (macOS is on the to-do list).
Here's a link to the change summary: https://github.com/gnu-guitar/gnu-guitar/releases/tag/v0.4.0-alpha
The project is in it's infancy still. Let me know if you're interested in contributing!
Guitarix release 0.36.0
Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for
jack (Linux), with an additional mono and a stereo effect rack.
Guitarix includes a large list of LV2 and LADSPA plugins, and support
LADSPA / LV2 plugs as well in it's racks.
The guitarix engine is designed for LIVE usage, and feature ultra fast,
glitch and click free preset switching and is full Midi and remote
controllable (the Web UI is not included in the distributed tar ball).
This release add a couple of features to the lately introduced
DrumSequencer plugin. It add 2 more toms, it add beat repeat/skip
switches, it add the possibility to add a sequence (Preset) to the
current one, switch to previous/next preset, . . or load a slected
preset (sequence)
all controllable with Midi CC.
Also it introduce new Midi Note ON to CC support, means, you could
control toggle switches with Midi Note On messages now (continues control).
Also it introduce a new option to load Stereo plugs as Mono plugs, eg.
before the amp. This is in special useful for the famous rkrlv2 plugs:
https://github.com/ssj71/rkrlv2
+ new configure options --fontdir (set font install directory)
and --no-font-cache-update (dont automatically update the font
cache)
+ fix build with --no-lv2-gui option
+ add new style "Gold"
+ fix GxAmplifier re-init convolver on buffersize change ( Ardour loops)
+ fix jack transport support
+ also fix midi clock and bpm sync support
+ fix load online preset in remote UI
+ fix trim label in Lv2/Ladspa plugins
beside that a couple of changes have been made under the hut.

spectmorph-0.3.4 has been released.
Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.3.4:
----------------------------------------
* Added optional ADSR Envelope
* Make LV2 and VST plugin stereo to allow supporting stereo in the future
* LV2 plugin description fixes
* Added about dialog to plugin/smjack UI
* Remove BEAST plugin (plugin code will be moved to BEAST)
* Fixed compilation for newer g++ >= 6 (std::fabs)
* Get rid of some malloc() calls in linear morphing
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
-------------------------------------
In order to make music that contains SpectMorph, you currently need to use
Linux. There are four ways of integrating SpectMorph sounds into music you
create:
- LV2 Plugin, for any sequencer that supports it.
- VST Plugin, especially for proprietary solutions that don't support LV2.
- JACK Client.
- BEAST Module, integrating into BEASTs modular environment.
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.

There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing between
instruments.
