[LAU] [LAA] [ANN] guitarix-0.09.0 release 'Multi'

guitarix is a simple Linux Rock Guitar amplifier and is designed to achieve nice thrash/metal/rock/blues guitar sounds. guitarix uses the Jack Audio Connection Kit as its audio backend and brings to the jack audio graph a mono amplifier input/output port, and a FX mono input with two (stereo) output ports. guitarix provide a jack midi input port to connect a midi controller (midi learn) and a (3 channel) jack midi output port, feed by a (scalable) mix of the tuner and a beat-detector. Release 0.09.0 comes with following changes : * make distortion a multiband distortion * fix bug in resample IR-files * resample IR-files now on-the-fly * add insert point ports to the effect chain * add --optimization flag for configure the build * switch to double precision instead of single precision * fix bug in reconfigure convolver when preset change * add patch from Peder Hedlund, build against gtk-2.12.9 and gcc-4.3.1 * add faust 0.9.24 to the "good_faust_versions" have fun ________________________________________________________________________ NOTE:// Andreas have found and solved a bug in the IR-file resampler, that means that all the files you have resampled with guitarix, are "NOT RESAMPLED", only the header was change. To get rid of this, please remove the resampled files and rename the files with the extension .orig (remove .orig) That sucks, sorry for that. hermann _________________________________________________________________________ guitarix is licensed under the GPL.

Matheussen. If you don't have it installed, you can look here: http://old.notam02.no/arkiv/src/?M=D For extra Impulse Responses, guitarix uses the zita-convolver library, and, for up/down sampling we use zita-resampler, both written by Fons Adriaensen. If you don't have it installed, get it here: http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/index.html We use the marvellous faust compiler to build the amp and effects and will say thanks to : Julius Smith http://ccrma.stanford.edu/realsimple/faust/ : Albert Graef http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/examples.html#Faust : Yann Orlary http://faust.grame.fr/ ________________________________________________________________________ For faust users : All used Faust dsp files are included in /guitarix/src/faust, the resulting cc files are in /guitarix/src/faust-cc The tools we use to convert (post-processing and plot) the resulting faust cpp files to the needed include format, stay in the /guitarix/tools directory. ________________________________________________________________________ regards Hermann Meyer, James Warden, Andreas Degert
