Hello, I have a setup that is running fine with : Raspberry Pi (I2S) / Squeezelite / Jack / Jconvolver / I2S DAC I have another DAC Chip, that I want to use, however it is not I2S, it is Right justified. I though that i just had to change the driver on the Pi from I2S to RJ but it doesn't work that way. It looks like the format should be changed at the output of jconvolver. Can someone confirm ? How could I change the audio format from jconvolver ? Best regards, Jean -- Sent from: http://linux-audio.4202.n7.nabble.com/linux-audio-user-f5.html

Streaming low-latency bi-directional audio between Android 4.x and a Linux desktop

by Stuart Longland

Hi all, Firstly, apologies if this is not quite relevant to this list. I'll happily take it elsewhere if this is the case. I was wondering if someone knew of a tool that would enable me to connect my phone (running Android 4.1, I know this is old but it's what I have) over WiFi to my desktop (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) or my laptop (Gentoo). I have a proof-of-concept going using JACK, icecast2 and darkice… I was able to get `qt-dab` to pipe audio to `darkice` and receive the stream from my phone using `HaveRadiosion`, however there's quite a bit of latency introduced, and it's one-way. Fine for music, but if I'm in a VoIP call with someone and have to step away from my desk at work I'm kinda stuck. Both JACK (netjack[12]) and PulseAudio are able to operate over a network. It seems all I really need is a compatible Android application that can link to the phone's headset and advertise that to the PulseAudio or JACK server. Before I go embark on a quest to scratch my own itch, is anyone aware of software that would allow such a link to take place? Regards, -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.

Sonic Visualiser v4.0 released, along with Tony v2.1 and Sonic Lineup v1.0

by Chris Cannam

I'm delighted to announce new releases (made last Friday) of Sonic Visualiser and two related desktop applications from the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary, University of London: Version 4.0 of Sonic Visualiser, a free, cross-platform, open source application for viewing and analysing the contents of music audio files, is now available. The main change in this release, and the reason for the major-version bump to 4.0, is the addition of a "boxes" layer used to annotate and export time-frequency regions. (Refer to https://www.sonicvisualiser.org/doc/reference/4.0/en/#boxes for a description of the boxes layer.) See the home page at http://sonicvisualiser.org for more information and downloads. Version 2.1 of Tony, a free, cross-platform, open source application for high quality pitch and note transcription from solo vocal recordings, is now available. This is what you might call a "consolidation release" - it is almost unchanged from 2.0 in terms of features, but it is updated to fix some compatibility issues that have arisen since 2.0 came out and to prepare the codebase for a future feature release. See the home page at https://www.sonicvisualiser.org/tony/ for more information and downloads. Version 1.0 of Sonic Lineup, a free, cross-platform, open source application for comparative simultaneous visualisation of multiple audio files containing versions of the same source material, is now available. See the home page at https://www.sonicvisualiser.org/sonic-lineup/ for more information and downloads. Chris

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.11 - A Halloween'19 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Horror! The 'Vee One Suite' of so called 'old-school' software instruments, synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are here and now released for the global Halloween evening, and all making up to this mythical version 0.9.11 ;) As always, all provided in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Changes for this creepy release are quite revolutionary;) - When using autotools and ./configure --with-qt=..., it is also necessary to adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable (after a merge request by plcl aka. Pedro López-Cabanillas, while on qmidinet, thanks). - Upstream packaging is now split to JACK standalone and LV2 plugin only: the former shared common core and UI package is now duplicated but statically linked though. The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later. **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.11 (halloween'19) released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

Xmonk.lv2, aLV2 toy

by Hermann Meyer

I remember last time on a VST which I found nice to play around with, don't remember the name, but it was a monk which sing when you push and move the mouse. While I work on the code of my new X11/cairo toolkit, I give this a shoot. I'm using the SFFormantModelBP from the faust physmodels.lib, and wrap a UI around so that it comes near to what I remember and have a lot of fun while moving the mouse around on it. Then I adding midi support (modwheel for the vowel), so that it may become a tad more the fun. HOOOHEEEHAAA, here you go: https://github.com/brummer10/Xmonk.lv2

It's the final (Sonoj) countdown! - live feed with chat - donations

by Sonoj Convention

The end is near! Fortunately only the end of our preparations. Only four days left until this year's Sonoj Convention. For the spontaneous among you there is still an opportunity to sign up and visit. Just enter your name on https://sonoj.org/register.html . Considering the many mails you've received so far, it can be assumed that you're currently in Antarctica and therefore can't actually participate. Therefore now for the last time (this year): Please help us finance our non-profit event by donating an amount of your choice. We accept bank transfers and PayPal: https://sonoj.org/donate.html And finally I would be happy to see you during the two days in our video stream. There will be a chat this year (it already exists), so you can ask questions and comment. The stream is on the Sonoj page, or here: https://streaming.media.ccc.de/sonoj2019 Best regards, Nils Sonoj Convention

Just in case the ".ch" in your mail address correctly implies that you're in Switzerland: There will be the "Vintage Computer Festival" in Zürich in ~1 month: https://vcfe.ch/doku.php That might be a place to find people who still have the needed hardware. -Ben

100% Open Source Music

by Louigi Verona

Hey everyone! My music "career" started with mod music. Nope, not the music and fashion subculture from the late 1950s, but this mod music <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_file>, when people used programs called "trackers" to produce stuff. It was either this or buying expensive hardware. Although people associate MOD music scene mostly with chiptunes, it was much more than that, and has its own pantheon of musical gods <https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_chart&query=topartists> who produced tracks ranging from synth pop <https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=35280> to jazz <https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=135135>, from orchestral <https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=120901> to realistic folk instrumentals <https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=155605>. Immersed in this music, I severed my link to the mainstream idea of songs with their standard verse/chorus, and endless drivel about relationships. That link has not been restored. My mind was opened to music that was so unlike anything I'd heard before that it felt a bit like walking through that door in the wall. (Is this H.G. Wells reference <https://www.encyclopedia.com/education/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/do…> too obscure? :) ) My heroes were Elwood, DRAX, Awesome. Who even knows these names? I once created a Wikipedia page for Elwood and it stayed up for many years, but recently I discovered that it was removed. And yet Elwood <https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_artist_modules&query=69004> is a legendary musician and producer in the MOD scene, who has inspired and awed several generations of fellow tracker musicians. Some names have gotten enough traction to stay on Wikipedia. Purple Motion <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonne_Valtonen> is one clear example. Several producers, famous today, started out using trackers. Here is an incomplete list <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Tracker_musicians>. It mostly lacks artists who made their names in the tracking scene, but did not become notable outside of it. It's been a while since I went on a nostalgia tour, but due to my recent project of putting out an album of old tunes called "Only Slightly Embarrassing" <https://louigiverona.com/?page=projects&s=music&t=slightly_embarrassing>, I decided to cross further into the continent of "back in my days", which brought me straight to ModArchive <https://modarchive.org/>. Eventually, I was convinced that I should try making more tracked works, at the very least because my early works were so shitty that I felt I had to make up for that. Long story short, I realized that MOD music is the true Open Source Music. I mean, think about it. The most widely used software today is GPLed ( OpenMPT <https://openmpt.org/>). The modules you release are open source too, just like JavaScript. You open your XM or IT file and inspect how the tune was created. And you learn. And there is surely stuff to learn. Not all of it is even tracker-specific. People had no EQs, no compressors, no reverbs. And yet so much of tracked music sounds just incredible <https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=134387>. How did they do it? It turns out, there are ways. Of course, all of that leads to a bit of self promotion. I would like to draw your attention to the two tunes that I've written in the past month with OpenMPT and which you can download and see how they were made. (Or don't. You can instead explore ModArchive's Top Favorites <https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_top_favourites>.) - Lid <https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=186854> - Twizzy II <https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=186855> You can just use an Online Player to listen to them in a browser, or you can use almost any modern player to play them. Audacious, VLC, for example. An interesting thing is that the MOD scene has its own cultural backdrop: it is primarily melodic oriented, and having melodies means a lot. If you don't like melodies, you go for trance. I am putting out minimal house, rominimal even. So, I am sure I will get little love. But for those of you who enjoy this style of music, I think you might like these. I am personally very happy with the sound and how both of these turned out. And yet - no EQing, no nothing. Just volume envelopes, volume levels and panning work. **a little proud** It's somehow interesting to me that this is open source minimal house music. Not a lot of those out there. p.s.: fuck my tracks, listen to this <https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=34427> Louigi Verona https://louigiverona.com/

DrumGizmo 0.9.18 released

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng

DrumGizmo 0.9.18 Released! DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup. This release is primarily a bugfix release but a few new features also managed to sneak in. Highlights: * Sample selection algorithm now behaves a lot better when using a small sample set. * Error reporting has been drastically improved when loading drum-kits. * Sample normalization option has been added. As usual read the detailed description of all the new shiny features, including some audio samples [1]. And now, without further ado, go grab 0.9.18!!!
