Hi,
Autocomp is an automatic accompaniment generator for Perl and Csound,
developed on Linux. It's an attempt at a practice utility for musicians.
Freshmeat project page is here:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/autocomp/
Download it or read more here:
http://www.waz.easynet.co.uk/software.html
Currently there is only one style of output, which is a pastiche of a
'swing' style with a walking bassline. The output is heavily on the
gorgonzola side of cheesy, but it's already at a stage where you can
practice with it if you don't mind the cheese level.
All comments/suggestions etc gratefully received.
Cheers etc.,
Wayne

Works well for me.
Having jack support increases the liklihood of more people using glame too.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.

Mmm.. releases :)
Biggest thing is that it now listens to changes in alsa and
automatically refreshes.
* made a nice dlopen() system for GUIs and drivers
* ladcca support
* major amounts of code cleaning up and seperating (eg apb.h -> 6 .h's:)
* bug fixes
* compilation fixes
* listens to alsa changes in a thread
* gtk gui now uses a proper toolbar with stock buttons

Hi all,
I'm just curious about the software setup people use here to
play around to make music. Furthermore I'd be interested what
software setup people use to use jack. I was recently wanted
to try out jack so I just installed the debian packages of jack
and the alsaplayer with jack out, but wasn't really successfull.
So before I start building lots of apps, I just wanted to know what
is worth being tried out.
Cheers, Alex
from electronic musician (dec/2002):
"Polish developer Professional Sound Projects (PSP) has introduced a
plug-in emulation of Lexicon's PCM 42 hardware, and it bears
investigation. But first, I must make a disclosure. I designed the
Lexicon PCM 42, so this won't be your usual review. I can't claim
total objectivity, but I hope that I can offer some insight.
..."
(actually, its a very, very normal EM-style review. too bad, after
such a great start).

from the gtk+ 2.2 announcement:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Support for new X extensions, standards, and libraries:
GTK+-2.2 adds support for the RANDR extension for screen
size changes and for startup notification via a draft
freedesktop.org protocol. Interoperability with Qt for
inter-application embedding via the XEMBED protocol has
been improved. With support for version 2 of the Xft library,
antialiased text can be displayed even on older X servers.

Hi folks,
First of all a happy x-mas
and newyear :)
I was just wondering if some of you
had considered using / implementing /
testing the new x-dnd (X Drag and
Drop) specification ?
http://www.newplanetsoftware.com/xdnd/
It seems very useful. It would be great
if we could just drag and drop audio
parts, pieces of midi, control settings ...
from one audio app to another.
Probably the protocol needs to be made aware
of the existence of these types and then
the audio apps should be able to handle
incoming data of that type.
I'm by no means a xdnd guru :)
I just thought I'd throw it in the group.
best regards,
Vincent
Hi all,
This is just an intermediate release to fix some things (and add LADCCA

ZynAddSubFX is a opensource software synthesizer for
Linux.
It is available at :
http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net
or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/zynaddsubfx
News:
1.0.3 - small bugfixes: "Bypass Global Filter" from
ADnoteUI dissapears sometimes ;
removed the low amplitude noise produced by the
reverb;
if you "acconect" zynaddsubfx with aseqview no note
was processed a long time.
- added Notch Filter
- added the option to randomize the ressonance
function
- added VU-Meter
- Change the Insertion effect modes behaves (it
sounds a bit louder)
- Added to the project an external program
called Spliter that splits the
keyboard and alows you to play two instruments same
time. You can use this
program with ZynAddSubFX or any other synthesizer.
- Added a new function to OscilGen
Paul.

Hi everyone,
Lots of stuff done in this release. There's a few patches for some
programs as well. I'm also going back on what I said about the LGPL
issue. The libladcca is still under the GPL, and will stay so. The
reason is that even though the library is under the GPL, it doesn't stop
proprietary software authors making their software compatible with
ladcca because ladcca works over TCP sockets. The protocol can be
garnered from the source and the manual. So, people can still make
non-free ladcca clients, they just can't use the free libladcca code to
do it, which seems fair to me.
* Added protocol versioning
* ladccad now permanently listens to jack and alsa, with seperate threads
dealing with each. it backs up all the alsa and jack connections every 30
seconds so that a client's connections can be resumed automatically, and
it's also much better seperation of the jack/alsa/project code
* fixed loads of bugs
* fixed file permissions for config data files, making stores actually work
* well defined client event protocol, documented in the manual
* minor api changes and additions
* added a gui to the synth client, and made it try and get real-time-ness
for the midi thread. fixed the dodgey sound (for some reason, the jack
buffer was being cast to doubles instead of floats.) it's actually usable now.
Patches
* alsa modular synth 1.5.5
* jack rack 1.0
* seq24 0.4.0
* sweep 0.5.12
* vkeybd 0.1.12

Merry christmas all,
