[LAD] New Java binding for JACK

Hi All, Just a quick post to let you know about a new JACK binding for Java, called JNAJack, at http://code.google.com/p/java-audio-utils/ JNAJack is a minimal object-oriented wrapper to the JACK Audio Connection Kit API. It uses Java Native Access (JNA) rather than custom JNI to interface with the underlying Jack API, simplifying development and deployment - no compilation required and it (*should*) work cross platform. Use of JNA means that performance is not quite on a par with the custom JNI code in JJack, but it is still fine for low latency usage, and some further performance optimisations are in the wings. Unlike JJack the aim of this project is to support full and typesafe OOP access to the Jack API from Java, and nothing else. Most important aspects of the audio API are included. MIDI and transport support will be implemented in the future. Well, I say this is new, it was mostly written quite a while back as part of my Praxis InterMedia System project http://code.google.com/p/praxis/ (a Java based cross-media patcher environment). I'm finally getting around to releasing some of this stuff separately as well. Best wishes, Neil -- Neil C Smith Artist : Technologist : Adviser http://neilcsmith.net
