OT-ish: multi-touch screen for linux audio projects

by Ken Restivo

Looks like it might be useful for custom linux instruments, using a Raspberry Pi or BeageBone, or even just for controlling Ardour on a PC: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pitouch-hdmi-multitouch-monitor-for-raspb… Endorsement/disclosure: I have done some linux and Android development work for this guy in the past, and helped him research linux support for this project (which was very quick and easy: the multitouch is built in to kernel 3.2 and later, works out of the box). The audio version uses HDMI, but for input one could use an external USB interface (with the USB hub version on a Pi/Beagle), or something more custom. If used with a PC instead, then one could use FFADO, etc. -ken

Fedora Jam 20 Heisenbug released

by Brendan Jones

Seasons greetings all! Just a quick announcement to any that didn't know, the Fedora Jam spin has been released alongside Fedora 20. In Linux audio terms, there's not too many surprises here. We have simply tried to keep all of our packages up to date with upstream. Notable additions/updates: Ardour 3 replaces Ardour2 (on the media only: Ardour 2.x is still available in the repos), the new x42 plugins from Robin Gareus, Harry's Open Av plugin suite and we've also added Mup music notation. The repositories also contain the awesome new guitarix plugins, definitely worth checking out. We have tried to ship the latest release of everything, however there have been a few upstream releases that have occurred post publication freeze, so expect a number of updates in the next few weeks. For a synopsis of all included packages you can click here [1], and you can grab an ISO from here [2] PlanetCCRMA has also been updated in record time, so go here [3] to add your RT kernel, linuxsampler, supercollider, puredata and others not included on the spin. Want to help us make the spin better or just have questions/want to chat about the spin? Join our mailing list here [4] or jump on irc #fedora-audio Happy new year all!

Out Now: The Magnetophon Sessions, by Munk!

by rosea.grammostola

Munk!, a jazz/ska/funk band from Groningen, The Netherlands, has released an album made with free software, The Magnetophon Sessions. During the hot part of summer 2013, Munk! stayed at the cultural freezone Landbouwbelang in Maastricht (The Netherlands) for a week and recorded seven new tracks in the unique and inspiring studio Magnetophon. During the recordings we played with the whole band at once, to get the most musical results. All tracks are one-take-recordings, no edits where made when mixing the album. The Magnetophon Sessions is produced with opensource and free software on GNU/Linux. Most notably: Ardour2 for recording and mixing, LADSPA plugins for mixing, Gimp for graphics, Lives for video art. Recorded & mixed by Bart Brouns at Studio Magnetophon Maastricht www.magnetophon.nl <http://www.magnetophon.nl> Video clip Off The Chart: http://www.munk050.com/ The Magnetophon Sessions, music & artwork: http://www.munk050.com/music/ Our advise on price for the digital download would be in the range of 5 -- 10 euro, but there's no minimum or maximum, so feel free, thanks for your support! Munk!

notation software

by David Santamauro

Hi, It's been a while since I researched notation software. What are the major players in the linux world? What is being actively maintained? What is new and cutting edge? Note: I use lilypond for printed scores but I'm looking for some distinct functionality for in-score composing and orchestrating: - individual jack midi routing at least at the staff level, better if staff supported multiple voices and each could be routed separately. - step input with both external keyboard as well as mouse - customization for in-score articulations, e.g., staccato -> channel change or slur/legato -> insert note ( for key switch software instruments) - lilypond and/or midi export functionality. I'd appreciate any advice. thanks, David

pygtk jalv starter

by hermann meyer

Hi I've reworked my little pygtk script to select a plugin and run it with a selected jalv interpreter. It use now python-lilv to create a plugin-list. You can select the plugs now by name, and you can search the list by regex to find a plug fast. https://github.com/brummer10/jalv_select greetings hermann

'Reverse' gates?

by Andrew C

Hello everyone, Is there a ladspa plugin that is a 'reverse' gate of sorts? i.e removing noises louder than a certain db, but keeping quieter ones? Or do I need just have to learn how to use gates properly? Thanks! Andrew.
