Grab the new version on the site: http://essej.net/sooperlooper/download.html CHANGES FOR 1.7.0 GUI: - Fixed SooperLooper being mistakenly identified as remote - Now ignoring non audio and non .slsess files in load and save file selection dialogues - Mute now flashes when waiting to go into mute instead of rev flashing - Mute of others flashes instead of solo flashing when going in and out of solo - Fixed CC bindings for commands that need to be registered as hits - MIDI bindings choice now sorted alphabetically - File selector now defaults to home and tracks last load/save - Removed arbitrary maximum loop memory limit in Add Custom Loop... - Fixed issue of some controls not showing up when you have more than 5 loops SooperLooper engine: - Fixed issue of not being able to load audio files from session when not started from the same directory - Fixed fade not working after undo_all - Removed 1 sample click in multiply - Fixed individual loop monitor not being sent to main-out - Fixed toggle MIDI bindings requiring double press when first loaded - Fixed some clicks when undoing - Added CCon and CCoff message types to midi bindings - Can now mute and un-mute when loop is in Off state - Fixed bug where long-presses were causing undo-all when they weren't supposed to OSC: - OSC Auto Update time can now be set between 10-100ms - "osc.udp://" can be omitted from the return URL parameter of any OSC message - SooperLooper no longer seg-faults when an invalid return URL is given AU: - State and waiting AU parameters now working - Fixed parameter update race condition, so values reflect newly changed state - There are now up to 8 stereo sidechain outputs available (individual outputs for each loop), but for some reason still only 4 stereo inputs available (at least as shown within Live)... it isn't clear why there are fewer input buses, it might be a Live limitation. Others: - Small maintenance on help output, OSC doc file and indentation, spelling etc. - HTML docs on website now include full MIDI command reference

HYDROGEN DRUM MACHINE ACCESSIBILITY FOR BLIND MUSICIANS?

by Rusty Perez

Hi folks, does any one know if the hydrogen drum machine is accessible for blind users? I know it has a gui, but I don't know what it's written in. And I don't know if there are any alternatives for running it. Thanks! Rusty

Fwd: Matching Pursuit Toolkit (MPTK) 0.7 released

by Dan S

Dear all, Matching Pursuit Toolkit (MPTK) is a fast and efficient library (with Matlab and Python wrappers, and commandline tools) for the sparse decomposition of multichannel audio signals. Version 0.7 is now officially released: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=36 Changes in 0.7: * New pyMPTK wrapper, enables direct use of MPTK within Python * Enabled GPD with the Dirac, Constant and Nyquist blocks * Anywave block now working from command-line mpd and mpr * Improved XML parsing of books (note: the API to use for writing new plugins changes as a result of this; and MPTK books are now written with an outer <mptkbook> tag surrounding book and dict) * Slight Matlab API change: second “dict” arg now needed for reconstruct(book, dict) Best Dan -- http://www.mcld.co.uk

New Swedish hiphop album made completely in Linux!

by Gabbe Nord

Since quite a while back, I've been a part of a Swedish hiphop group called "Raptimus Prime" together with two of my good friends, and we've just released our first album! Even though few people on here probably know Swedish, maybe someone finds it amusing anyway! :) The album consists of 13 tracks, and was made 100% in Linux from start to finish. I'm extremely happy and proud that we could make all of this _almost_ exclusively using free and open source software! We've recorded/mixed/"mastered" it all by ourselves, mainly using the following software/plugins: Ardour2 Ardour3 Some Hydrogen Calf plugins Salamander Piano TAL NoiseMaker linuxDSP plugins Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra zita-dpl1 ..and a lot of other stuff I've probably forgot to mention! ;) You can find it at a number of different sources: Bandcamp: http://raptimusprime.bandcamp.com/ Soundcloud: http://www.soundcloud.com/raptimusprime PirateBay in various formats: FLAC: http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8451980 OGG: http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8451976 MP3: http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8451978 It's also available at Spotify if anyone uses that. ..and since I'm not sure if torrents/the other links provided work for everyone, here's a direct link for the OGG-version that *should* work. Please let me know if it doesn't so I can fix it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19258546/RaptimusPrime-Styrketarar%5B20… Lastly, thank you so much all developers/users of open source/linux audio in general, for making this all possible! I'm very happy to be a part of this community, with many more musical projects to come! Cheers! Kind regards, Gabriel/zth

Tonight: Creative Coding Meetup at STEIM, in Amsterdam

by Marije Baalman

Creative Coding Lab DETAILS DATE: Wednesday, 15 MAY 2013 TIME: 19:00 ENTRY: FREE LOCATION: STEIM Concert Space, Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134 Amsterdam http://steim.org/event/creative-music-coding-lab-4/ Please let us know if you plan to come (mail me), so we have a rough idea who to expect. Also, if you have a cool project to show or coding questions to ask, let us know so we can put it in the schedule! *Calling all ChucK’ers, SuperColliders, Max and PureData patchers, CSounders, Fluxites, Overtoners, and all other tongues of creative coders. We welcome you to attend the fourth edition of the Creative Music Coding lab at STEIM. In the past years STEIM has hosted regular SuperCollider and Max meet-ups for musicians and sound artists to gather and share their experiences. This year we have decided to break open these groups into a new experimentation platform welcoming all artists who use code as a medium for making music. Why the change in format? We believe that coding as a fundamental practice is not necessarily language specific. All musicians who use code as a medium essentially share a common creative process, one that favors highly personal, DIY methods for music making. This being the case, the processes we draw from and fundamental techniques we use can be inspiring to all. By sharing our working methods and allowing an environment for cross-code fluency we will learn so much more. The CMC lab is an autonomous zone to try out sonic experiments as a group. And an opportunity to leverage the expertise of the group in realizing new artistic tools and processes through the medium of code. Many of the founding members of the group are indeed experts in their favorite languages, but we come from all technical levels of proficiency and enjoy helping one-another out. What ARE the goals for the lab? a place for creative music coders to show work in progress, regardless of programming language or platform a place to discuss and question techniques with fellow computer musicians an informal stage for playing with others, livecoding sessions, jamming, and other fun experiments an opportunity to meet like-minded artists, share talents, and start new collaborations an opportunity to be exposed to new languages and improve cross-language fluency a way to discover lesser known and emerging creative programming paradigms a place to to discuss interconnections between programming environments an environment for discussions on cultural contexts surrounding coding in the arts We encourage members of the group to use this as a platform for exploring ways in which we might be able to create and play together. Proposals for creative group investigations of hardware, software, and coding as process are welcome. As always, entry is free, tea and coffee will be provided.*

Re: [LAU] Questions about LV2

by Julien Claassen

Hello all of you! Thanks again for the discussion and enumeration of good reasons, standards and mechanisms. A question to you David: can you give me a very rough and basic hint - in one sentence - of how eg-sampler does its communications. lv2info only shows the control port (MIDI) and notify (which is declared as an Atom port and an output port). Then there's the main out. I wonder: is my LV2 distribution not up-to-date? I just recently got 2.0 to build all your latest libraries and apps. Warm regards Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html

bcF200/BCR2000 on Linux - with no BCX2000 support

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! I'm considering to get a Behringer BCR2000 to control some software. Now I've seen the bcx2000 software, which naturally is graphical. So my question: how do you see my chances of creating my own configurations? Is the SysEx sent by the Behringer small and structured enough, that I could try hacking it directly in a hex-editor? I've recently done some header-hacking of other SysEx files and found it not as unpleasant as I imagined. Warm regards and thanks for any hint Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html

samples/instruments/romplers etc..

by James Stone

Hi everyone, Just a quick poll of opinion - I'm thinking of buying a cheap rompler - Roland JV-1080 or Proteus 2000. I kind of think that the things these offer should be possible with software, but beyond getting some soundfonts, I'm not really sure if this is true. Problems I see with the purely computer based approach is all the samples I have found so far (admittedly only looking at what's available free) is not really anywhere near what is available in these kind of hardware modules. Sure the size of samples etc. available now is much larger, but the musicality and tweakability/ synthesis options are not so much there (although possible I guess). So, am I wrong? What I would be interested in is: 1) Decent collections of samples (soundfonts or whatever) that are professional standard (i.e. up to the quality of Roland/Korg/Emu) covering a variety of "bread and butter" type sounds - orchestral, keyboard, piano, synth. I am happy to pay for them - but if the overall price goes over 100GBP, I think I am probably better off with the hardware option.. 2) Thoughts - soundfonts vs. gigs vs. ? and what software to play them in Linux? Any samplers that also have synthesis options - resonant filters/ envelopes etc? I guess I know about things like linuxsampler and fluidsynth, but are there any other more complex options? 3) Lastly - any off topic suggestions about decent hardware ROMplers/ synths - opinions about the JV-1080 vs. Proteus 2000 vs. ? from those who have used them.. Best wishes, James
