[LAA] QuteCsound 0.6.0 Released

35 min 32 sec ago
From: Andres Cabrera <mantaraya36@...>
Subject: [LAA] QuteCsound 0.6.0 Released
Date: Jul 28, 12:52 pm 2010

Hi all!

QuteCsound 0.6.0 is finally ready! QuteCsound has now come of age as it
recently celebrated two years since its first svn commit! This release
takes QuteCsound way beyond my original expectations thanks to the
encouragement, ideas and work from many users. This is another
milestone release, with the implementation of the new widget format,
which opens the door to new functionality and extensibility.

QuteCsound is a frontend for Csound featuring a highlighting
editor with autocomplete, interactive widgets and integrated help. It
can open files created in MacCsound, and aims to be a simple yet
powerful and complete development environment for Csound.

QuteCsound has been tested on Windows, OS X, Linux and Solaris,
and it is free software released under the LGPLv2 or at your option
GPLv3.

There are binary packages for Windows and OS X, and a source package
for other platforms.
You can get it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qutecsound/files/QuteCsound/0.6.0/

There's more information here (along with an overdue home page revamp):
http://qutecsound.sourceforge.net/

There is also an experimental package for OS X (called "-full"), which
contains Csound inside, so you don't need a separate Csound installation,
(which means it will work immediately without installation - very handy if
you don't have the root password for a system).

Please try it and let us know any issues.

Questions, comments and suggestions for QuteCsound are very welcome
and can be posted to the main Csound mailing list, but better still,
join the QuteCsound users mailing list at:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qutecsound-users

Thanks as usual to the testing team, who made sure regular users get a
smooth ride by taking a bumpy ride...
Thanks especially to Francois Pinot, Andy Fillebrown, Joachim Heintz
and Rene Djack, but also to the translators and the rest of the testers.

QuteCsound is now accepting donations. If you find QuteCsound useful
and have some money to spare, please consider donating to the project,
to support development:
http://sourceforge.net/project/project_donations.php?group_id=227265

New in version 0.6.0:
* New XML Widget format for storing widgets. If file only contains the
old widget format a backup file is saved just in case.
* The new format allows many new funtionality like:
- Font, Font size, Font Color and background in a larger number of
widgets.
- Rounded borders and border width in various widgets.
- Font sizes are now approximate pixel values, which provides
better cross-platform font cmpatibility and a broader selection of
sizes
- x and y zoom for scope and graph widget
- If only old widget format is present in the file, a backup copy
is saved with extension .old-format
- Minimum and maximum values for spinbox, controller and scroll number
- Adjustable ranges for controller widgets
* Presets for Widgets are now available, and they will be stored as
XML text in the csd file. They can be used from the right click menu
in the widget panel. Reserved channels "_GetPresetName", "_GetPresetNumber",
"_SetPreset" and "_SetPresetIndex", which allows control of presets from
Csound or other widgets.
* New reserved channel "_MBrowse" for buttons, which allows selection
of multiple files, which are separated by the "," character.
* Font scaling and Font Offset configuration option for control over
global font rendering size.
* Added bookmarks in inspector (any comment starting by ";;" in a csd
file or "##" in python file is treated as a bookmark)
* Added option to save using Windows or Unix Line Endings [message continues]

[LAA] announcing envy24control, mudita (*) edition.

35 min 32 sec ago
From: Niels Mayer <nielsmayer@...>
Subject: [LAA] announcing envy24control, mudita (*) edition.
Date: Jul 26, 10:05 am 2010

Summary of updates from envy24control 0.6.0 (GIT HEAD) to "1.0.0":

(0) After a decade, incremented version to 1.0.0 (**)
(1) Implemented missing "Peak Hold" functionality in meters and
reimplemented meters for increased efficiency and lower X resource
usage. (see http://www.linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lad/2010/7/12/171535
& https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602903 )
(2) All volumes are represented as decibels, including the 0 to -48dB
range of the hardware peak-meters, the 0 -to- -144dB attenuation for
all inputs to the digital mixer, the 0 -to- -63dB attenuation of the
analog DAC, and the +18 -to- -63dB attenuation/amplification of the
analog ADC.
(3) All gtk "scale" widgets have dB legends; the "PageUp" "PageDown"
keys allow rapid movement between the marked levels.
(4) Got rid of myriad compile warnings and other minor fixes across codebase.

Some screenshots:

http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/Screenshot-Envy24Control-MonitorInputs.png
http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/Screenshot-Envy24Control-MonitorPCM.png

------------

To the ALSA project: please consider this patch to alsa-tools'
envy24control (**):
http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-0.6-to-1.0.patch
(patch to 'envy24control' from GIT trunk/head of alsa-tools)
http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-1.0.README
(summary of changes from 0.6.0 to 1.0.0)

------------

Those wanting to compile directly, or run a 64 bit linux binary I've built:

http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-1.0.tar.gz
(full directory, just follow README directions to build/install)
http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-1.0-fc12-x86_64.tar.gz
(x86_64 binary that should work on fedora12 and equivalent OpenSuse release)

I'd appreciate any testing results or comments on this "1.0.0"
release. In particular, I'd like some assurance that the dB markings
on sliders in "Analog Volume" panel are correct (compared to values
reported by 'alsamixer'). I'm looking for testing with following
devices (as I think my testing covers code for M-Audio Delta 44 &
Delta 66, Terratec Dmx6fire & EWX2496) specifically:
M-Audio Delta 1010, M-Audio Audiophile 2496, M-Audio Delta 1010LT
TerraTec EWS 88MT, TerraTec EWS 88D, TerraTec Phase 88,
Hoontech SoundTrack DSP 24 (all variants).

Thanks,

Niels

joy in the good fortune of another. This virtue is considered the
antidote to envy and the opposite of schadenfreude."

[LAA] JACK Network Manager 0.2.3

35 min 32 sec ago
From: Mike Cookson <cook60020tmp@...>
Subject: [LAA] JACK Network Manager 0.2.3
Date: Jul 24, 5:34 pm 2010

JACK NetSource GUI is renamed to JACK Network Manager (jack-netmanager-gtk), since jack_netsource is only a command line front-end for jack netmanager module.

Changes:
- Name changed from jack-netsource-gui to jack-netmanager-gtk (humany name - JACK Network Manager), since jack_netsource is just a wrapper, controlling jack "netmanager" module.
- Presets support, deprecating creation of script with tray support, due to ability to reuse ordinary scripts by JACK Network Manager itself. During of preset saving name is requested and approriate script is stored in presets directory.
- Ability to start sources at LADISH rooms.
- ladish_launch is deprecated. ladish_control snewapp and rnewapp commands used instead.
- Improved desktop launcher
- New system tray icons; added application icon, unwantedly removed from 0.2.2
- Fixed help text
- Options for jack_netsource from various jack versions are stored in separated file now
- Internationalization of bash scripts through gettext
- Build system improvements: all text files are configured - e.g., instalation prefix now is working. Configured files are stored into separate build directory, which is autonomous and can be distributed. Also, uninstalation is available.
- Internationalization improvements: added update-locales script, which updates template with translations at once, and localization of bash scripts through gettext.

Note for distribution maintainers: if you place menu items for special audio software into extra submenus inside standart Audio menu, it would be nice to have JACK Network Manager item in one place with QJackNet (at least) and QJackCtl.

And create dummy jack-netsource-gui package for smooth upgrade.

[LAA] [ANN] Drumstick 0.4.1 released

35 min 32 sec ago
From: Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas <pedro.lopez.cabanillas@...>
Subject: [LAA] [ANN] Drumstick 0.4.1 released
Date: Jul 14, 2:41 pm 2010

Drumstick is a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface using
Qt4 objects, idioms and style. ALSA sequencer provides software support for
MIDI technology on Linux. Complementary classes for SMF and WRK file
processing are also included. This library is used in KMetronome, KMidimon
and KMid2, and was formerly known as "aseqmm".

Changes:
* Removed the precompiled headers build option
* Fixed a bug that affected users running dumstick-based applications with
realtime priority enabled. There is a related problem in glib-2.22 that has
not yet been fixed (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599079).
This issue prevented to execute FluidSynth from inside KMid at startup in
those affected systems.

[LAA] Spek 0.6

35 min 32 sec ago
From: Alexander Kojevnikov <alexander@...>
Subject: [LAA] Spek 0.6
Date: Jul 14, 2:41 pm 2010

Hi list,

I'm happy to announce the release of Spek 0.6 - a multi-platform
acoustic spectrum analyser.

Spek is available on GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.

Find out more about Spek on its website: http://www.spek-project.org/

New Features And Enhancements:

Spek 0.6 is part of beta 0.x releases, leading up to a stable 1.0 release
later this year. Check Spek website for the roadmap.

New features since 0.5:

* Switch from GStreamer to FFmpeg libraries for audio decoding. This
speeds up the overall analysis by a factor of 1.5 to 2.
* Decode audio and perform the analysis in separate threads. This makes
the analysis 1.3~1.8 times faster on multi-core systems (issue 11).
* Check for a new version once a week and notify when it becomes
available (issue 27)

Enhancements:

* Windows installer branding (issue 32)
* Option to launch Spek when the Windows installer exits

Bugfixes:

* Fix link activation on Windows (issue 31)
* Fix ALAC issues on OS X (issue 23)
* Re-run the analysis only if the window width has been changed
* Fix opening of files containing Unicode symbols in their name on Windows

Cheers,
Alex

[LAA] StretchPlayer 0.502: Real-time audio player with time stretch

35 min 32 sec ago
From: Gabriel M. Beddingfield <gabrbedd@...>
Subject: [LAA] StretchPlayer 0.502: Real-time audio player with time stretch
Date: Jul 14, 2:41 pm 2010


I am pleased to release StrechPlayer 0.502, a time-stretching,
pitch-shifting audio file player. It is powered by librubberband, and
also features an A/B repeat.

NEW IN THIS RELEASE
-------------------

* Reduced Xorg load (was typ. 20-30% CPU even
when idle)
* Fix build errors on 64-bit systems (incompatible
integer types).
* Add CMake USE_COMPOSITING option to explicitly
disable compositing features.

LINKS
-----

Home Page: http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/

Tarball: http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer_0.502.tar.gz

Binary: Ubuntu/Karmic
http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer_0.502_karmic_i386.deb
http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer-dbg_0.502_karmic_i386.deb

Debian Dsc: http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer_0.502.dsc

Git: http://gitorious.org/stretchplayer
git://gitorious.org/stretchplayer/stretchplayer.git

USING THE PROGRAM
-----------------

After stretchplayer is installed, there should be an [S] icon under
Multimedia or Sound. Or, you can run it from the command line like
this:

$ stretchplayer

The GUI is pretty self-explanatory, and if you hover over the controls
a tool-tip should appear. The GUI also has several keyboard
accelerators.

To play a file, click the file-open icon and select an audio file.
Stretchplayer can play anything that libsndfile supports (ogg, flac,
wav, etc.). However, it does /not/ support MP3 files at this time.

As the file plays, slide the horizontal slider left or right to change
the speed of the song. If you wish to transpose the audio, push one
of the + or - buttons.

INSTALLING THE PROGRAM
----------------------

You will need at least a 1200 MHz processor[1] to use this program.
It also requires the following libraries:

* Qt >= 4.4 http://qt.nokia.com
* librubberband http://www.breakfastquay.com/rubberband/
* libsndfile http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/
* JACK http://jackaudio.org/
* CMake http://www.cmake.org/

If you are running Ubuntu Karmic or Ubuntu Jaunty, you can install the
.deb packages like this (from the command line):

$ sudo dpkg -i stretchplayer*_0.502_karmic_i386.deb

Anyone else will need to build from source. Please read the
INSTALL.txt file that comes with the taarball.

Peace,
Gabriel M. Beddingfield
2010-07-11

[1] With this release, Stretchplayer works OK (but not great) with an
800MHz Celeron processor. Before this release, it was unusable
on this system.

(midi learn) and a (3 channel) jack midi output port, feed by a
(scalable) mix of the tuner and a beat-detector.

Release 0.10.0 comes with following changes :

* add tonestack models
* add 2. amp model
* add cabinet impulse response module
* add Patch Info widget
* add Preset File Load/Export option
* add simple looper
* add Oscilloscope and tuner state to main settings
* selectable distortion model (multi/single line)
* selectable EQ model (fixed/scalable freq)
* free mem when not used (delay lines)
* reworked Gui
* fix various bugs

have fun
_________________________________________________________________________

Note:// for experienced Users there is a Experimental widget witch comes
with the tremolo effect contributed by transmogrifox (Rakarrack dev-team)
please look ./waf --help for how to build with this widget activated.
Many thanks to transmogrifox for his contribution.

please report bugs and suggestions in our forum here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/guitarix/
________________________________________________________________________

For capture, guitarix uses the great 'jack_capture'
(version >= 0.9.30) written by Kjetil S. 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

: 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.

[LAA] [ANN] Drumstick 0.4.0 released

35 min 32 sec ago
From: Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas <pedro.lopez.cabanillas@...>
Subject: [LAA] [ANN] Drumstick 0.4.0 released
Date: Jul 7, 4:50 pm 2010

Drumstick is a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface using
Qt4 objects, idioms and style. ALSA sequencer provides software support for
MIDI technology on Linux. Complementary classes for SMF and WRK file
processing are also included. This library is used in KMetronome, KMidimon
and KMid2, and was formerly known as "aseqmm".

Changes:
* New visibility attribute for all public classes allowing client programs to
be compiled with hidden visibility if desired.
* Better error reporting for all the utilities.
* Subdirectory "tests" renamed as "utils".
* Utility "smfplayer" renamed as "guiplayer" and enhanced with a new interface
design and support for Cakewalk WRK files.

[LAA] gst123-0.1.2

35 min 32 sec ago
From: Stefan Westerfeld <stefan@...>
Subject: [LAA] gst123-0.1.2
Date: Jul 6, 9:08 am 2010

gst123-0.1.2 has been released.

Overview of changes in gst123-0.1.2:
------------------------------------
* Added -a option to select audio driver (oss, alsa) and device (/dev/dsp1, hw:1)
* Fix crash triggered when closing the video window (thanks Siddhesh Poyarekar)
* Improved configure check (works now if ncurses headers are not in /usr/include)

What is gst123?
---------------
The program gst123 is designed to be a more flexible command line player in the
spirit of ogg123 and mpg123, based on gstreamer. It plays all file formats
gstreamer understands, so if you have a music collection which contains
different file formats, like flac, ogg and mp3, you can use gst123 to play all
your music files.

Since gst123-0.1.0 support for watching videos has been added; however gst123
should run fine in situations where no X11 display is available; videos can be
played without X11 display, too (-x, --novideo); in this case, only the audio
stream will be played.

It is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2

[LAA] spectmorph-0.0.3

35 min 32 sec ago
From: Stefan Westerfeld <stefan@...>
Subject: [LAA] spectmorph-0.0.3
Date: Jul 2, 8:29 am 2010

spectmorph-0.0.3 has been released. The main improvement is that the piano
samples sound a lot better now, because the attack is modelled better by
the SpectMorph model.

Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.0.3:
----------------------------------------
* added encoder algorithm to find attack envelope, this makes piano sound much
more realistic
* introduced smwavset tool, which allows managing instruments consisting of
many samples
- encoding/decoding a set of samples
- delta operation for comparing errors of sets of samples
* smextract can now provide an overview of how many bytes in an .sm file can be
attributed to which fields
* documentation updates
* refactoring, cleanups

What is SpectMorph?
-------------------
SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of
musical instruments. This should allow constructing hybrid sounds, for instance
a sound between a trumpet and a flute. Also interpolating between two samples
of the same instrument (different attack velocity of a piano) could be
interesting.

SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3

SpectMorph currently is in the early stages of development, which means that it
is not yet ready to be used by end users.

Website: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/spectmorph.php
Download: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/spectmorph/spectmorph-0.0.3.tar.bz2

There are sound examples on the website which demonstrate the sound quality of
the current SpectMorph models using piano samples.

Date: Jun 22, 9:23 am 2010

Hi

We are pleased to announce the release of rakarrack 0.5.8 Equinox, a summer gift. This is a major feature release, but we have also fixed many old bugs.

We know that today is a Solstice, but we think that Equinox is a better definition for this version because we have worked diligently since release of 0.4.2, and 0.5.8 for us is like the start of a new cycle in the development of Rakarrack. Releasing on a Solstice is simply because this is a good reason to celebrate if you're a musician with preference for free open source software.

From: Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas <pedro.lopez.cabanillas@...>
Subject: [LAA] [ANN] Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard 0.3.2 released
Date: Jun 20, 8:06 am 2010

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It
doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI
synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use
the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use
the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another
instrument or MIDI file player.

Changelog
2010-06-18 0.3.2
* New D-Bus interface exposing many program features to other D-Bus clients
* New Simplified Chinese language translation. Thanks to Rui Fan
* German translation updates, including the program online help. Thanks to
Philip Edelmann and Frank Kober
* Larger shapes for switch-type extra controls, when using the custom style
