Subject: [LAA] Updates from kokkinizita
Date: Mar 15, 9:53 am 2010

Hello all,

Some updates are available on


1. libclalsadrv-2.0.0

This the the Alsa interface library used by Aeolus, Jaaa,
Japa and AMS.

The new release allows to specify separate Alsa device
names for playback, capture and control, i.e. it allows
the use of 'split' devices that may result from e.g.
combining several soundcards into one device.
The old API is still available but will be removed in
future releases.
Note that 2.0.0 is *not* binary compatible with the
previous release (hence the major version increment),
and may require a recompile of the apps using it.

There are two example programs in the 'apps' directory.
* alsa-loopback: just copies stereo input to output.
* alsa-latency: latency measurement, same algorithm
as used in jack_delay.

2. jaaa-0.6.0 and japa-0.6.0

* General cleanup, now compile without warnings using
gcc-4.4.3.
* When using Jack, a new option (-s) allows to specify
the Jack server to use.
* Require libclalsadrv-2.0.0.
* When using Alsa, two new options (-P, -C, used instead
of -d) allow to specify a split Alsa device.
* Added $(DESTDIR) to the Makefiles.

3. Aeolus-0.8.4

* Same changes as for Jaaa and Japa (except for -C, -P).
* Five new temperaments added, provided by Hanno
Hoffstadt and Adam Sampson.


Note to AMS users: if you have a binary install of AMS
make sure not to remove the current libclalsadrv. If you
have a source install, update libclalsadrv and recompile
AMS.

Ciao,

Subject: [LAA] [ANN] KMid 2.2.2 released
Date: Mar 15, 9:53 am 2010

KMid is a MIDI/Karaoke player for KDE4. It runs in Linux, using the ALSA
Sequencer.

KMid plays MIDI and karaoke files to hardware MIDI devices or software
synthesizers. It supports playlists, MIDI mappers, tempo (speed), volume and
pitch (transpose) controls and configurable character encoding, font and
color for lyrics. The graphic views include a rhythm view (visual metronome),
a channels window with solo/muting controls and instrument selectors, and a
piano player window (Pianola).

Changes for this release:
* Fixed program termination, stopping active notes.
* Fixed a crash when shuffling an empty playlist.
* Fixed creation of examples and system songs bookmarks at runtime, for file
open dialog places. Bookmarks are created only when files are found.
* Fixed saving the initial MIDI connection dialog selection.
* Replaced the initial MIDI connection dialog by a new one enabling online
help access, and better design.
* The last directory used in several open/save dialogs is now saved between
sessions.
* Drumstick libraries v0.3 are required.

Subject: [LAA] QjackCtl 0.3.6 - Full D-Busification!
Date: Mar 10, 1:57 pm 2010

QjackCtl 0.3.6 - Full D-Busification!

Awe!

Times they are a-changing although Bob Dylan has no D-Business here. The
old and cutie gooey for JACK just got one turn around the verge of
bit-rotting. This time it brings full JACK D-Bus support, or almost. It
also adds D-Bus access for most GUI actions which some might find pretty
handy for keyboard shortcut binding from your desktop environment of
choice. However, if babies health is your top concern you can just turn
this D-Bus thing off and play with the old times ;) Ahem...

QjackCtl 0.3.6 is now released!

More details in the change-log, below.

License:

QjackCtl is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of
the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

Change-log:

- Make sure socket names are unique on each side of the Patchbay
(another patch from Dominic Sacre, thanks).
- A bunch of primitive D-Bus interface slots have been added, allowing
shortcut access to most of main applications actions like toggling
Messages, Status, Connections, Patchbay widget pop-ups, reset stats,
transport and so on. New bindings are given eg. via dbus-send --system /
org.rncbc.qjackctl.(main, messages, status, connections, patchbay,
setup, about, reset, rewind, backward, play, pause, forward). (from an
original idea from Sebastian Gutsfeld, thanks).
- Patchbay snapshot now tolerates JACK client port strings that have
more than one semi-colon in it, honoring just the first one exactly as
everywhere else eg. Connections. (a glitch as reported by Geoff Beasley
while using a2jmidid).
- Most modal message dialog boxes (eg. critical errors) are now replaced
by system tray icon bubble messages where available (mitigating feature
request #2936455).
- Comply with jackd >= 0.118.0 which now runs in real-time mode by
default; use of -R is now deprecated from the jackd command line
interface options; use -r to run in non-real-time-scheduling.
- A man page has beed added.
- Got rid of a pretty old and never really useful "jackd-realtime"
server path option--actually, it was only seen available on the now
defunct old Mandrake Linux distro.
- D-Bus support, as provided by org.jackaudio.service aka jackdbus, is
now being introduced and used wherever available and whenever enabled.
Configuring, starting, stopping and logging the JACK back-end server
through the "infamous" jackdbus service is now being seamlessly exploited.
- Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to disk
when Setup dialog changes are accepted and applied.
- Server name command line [message continues]

Subject: [LAA] CLAM 1.4.0
Date: Mar 9, 10:04 am 2010

The CLAM project[1] is delighted to announce the long awaited 1.4.0 release of
the C++ framework for Audio and Music, code name '3D molluscs in the space'.

[1] http://clam-project.org

In summary, this long term release includes a lot of new spacialization
modules for 3D audio; MIDI, OSC and guitar effects modules; architectural
enhancements such as typed controls; nice usability features for the
NetworkEditor interface; convenience tools and scripts to make CLAM experience
better; enhanced building of LADSPA plugins and new support for LV2 and VST
plugin building; a new easy to use application to explore songs chords called
Chordata; many optimizations, bug fixing and code clean ups.

Many thanks to the people who contributed to this release, including but not
limited to the GSoC 2008 students and all the crew at Barcelona Media's Audio
Group.

Some details follow:

* Chordata is a new CLAM application which offers a user friendly way to
explore the chords of your favourite songs, using already existing technology
in the CLAM framework but with a much simpler interface. [2]

[2] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVmkIznjUPE

* The spacialization module and helper tools, contributed by Barcelona Media
[3] audio group, turn CLAM in tandem with Blender and Ardour, into a powerful
3D audio authoring and exhibition platform.[4]

[3] http://barcelonamedia.org
[4] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSfqJUIAiXk

* Typed controls extend CLAM with the ability to use whichever C++ type as the
message for a control. So, not just floats, but also bools, enums, integers, or
envelopes can be sent as asynchronous controls. Examples on boolean and MIDI
controls are provided.

* NetworkEditor has been ported to the QGraphicsView [5] framework. Dealing
with heavy networks such the big ones used in Barcelona Media have pushed
many usability enhancements into its interface: multi-wire dragging, wire
highlighting, default port and control actions, network and in-canvas
documentation... [6]

[5] http://doc.trolltech.com/latest/qgraphicsview.html
[6] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kt0WDmvMwo

* It also made necessary to provide a tool such clamrefactor.py to perform
batch high level changes to clam network XML files such as renaming processing
types, ports, or configuration parameters, changing configuration values,
duplicating sets of processings, connecting them...

* Music Annotator application now is designed to aggregate several sources of
descriptors and update them after edit. Descriptors are mapped to a work
description schema that can be graphically defined. Also semantic web
descriptor sources to access webservices such as MusicBrainz have been
implemented.

You can download sources, windows, debian and ubuntu packages from the
download page[7]. Contributed binaries for other platforms are welcome.

Subject: [LAA] QmidiCtl, QmidiNet 0.0.1 - New Kids On the Block
Date: Mar 9, 10:04 am 2010

Greetings,

QmidiCtl [1] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data
over the network, using UDP/IP multi-cast. It has been designed primarily
for the Maemo [3] enabled handheld devices, namely the Nokia N900 [4]. In
its current development state, which is obviously alpha as of this writing,
it puts a mini multi-track recording control surface on your hands and
on-the-go, so to speak. MMC is the feature and yours truly Qtractor [5] the
target. However, any other MMC enabled DAW may be considered.

However nothing of this would be possible without this little thing that
gets also here its release announcement: QmidiNet [2] is a MIDI network
gateway application that sends and receives MIDI data (ALSA Sequencer) over
the network, using UDP/IP multi-cast. Fundamentally inspired by
multimidicast [6] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI [7] for
Windows, it's a little tiny application that sits as an icon on your system
tray and exposes one or more ALSA Sequencer client ports which open the way
for a MIDI network mesh. Pretty neat if you think wireless and not
necessarily because of QmidiCtl [1].

Alas, you can transform any Linux/ALSA computer (or Windows/ipMIDI [7]
enabled one, if you dare to) into a MIDI-over-IP inter-connected node.

Be free, without cables :)

Subject: [LAA] Renoise 2.5 Goes GOLD
Date: Mar 6, 1:06 pm 2010

# FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Friday March 5th 2010 marks the official launch of Renoise 2.5. Another round of beta testing has passed, a brand new stable and rock solid Renoise is ready for production.

New features in Renoise 2.5 include:

* Pattern Matrix: A birds eye view and editor of the song
* Cross Track Routing for “Meta Devices” and new devices like the “Signal Follower”, which allows you to sidechain other tracks parameters
* Plugin Grabber: Render Plugin Instruments to Renoise Instruments, Samples
* Vastly Improved MIDI Mapping
* A Bunch of New Internal Effects
* And much more... A detailed description of what's new can be found here:
* http://www.renoise.com/about/what-s-new-2-5/

The user manual has been rewritten from scratch. Hundreds of pages of comprehensive documentation and a new video tutorial specifically geared towards Renoise 2.5 usage:

* http://tutorials.renoise.com/

And of course the demo with new tutorial songs, available to all Windows, Macintosh, and Linux users:

* http://www.renoise.com/download/renoise/

# ABOUT RENOISE:

Renoise is a complete music production environment for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. It features full ReWire support, FX and instrument VST/AU plug-in support, automatic plug-in delay compensation, multi-core load balancing, MIDI I/O, audio recording, flexible audio output, graphical & numerical parameter automation, modular parameter routing, and much more.

Renoise is based on mod trackers. Mod trackers are characterized by displaying and editing music in an easily understood grid known as a pattern. These patterns are akin to sheet music, but are displayed alphanumerically instead of with musical notation.

Renoise's rock solid stability makes it ideal as a live jamming tool. You can map almost every part of the interface to a MIDI controller, run your guitar through a Line-In Device and distort it with native effects, or just use it as a replacement for an MPC.

Due to its keyboard driven workflow, it makes the creation of music for new users far quicker than in a traditional MIDI based sequencer. For experienced users, and those who don't necessarily want to be bound to piano roll systems to music, it offers a refreshing approach to composing:

Instead of spending hours cobbling beats together with a mouse, why not do it in seconds with just a few keystrokes in Renoise? Whether you're an audio veteran or just starting out, Renoise is a fantastic addition to any bedroom or professional studio.

Make music? Use Renoise.

Subject: [LAA] Klactoveedsedstene v1.0.3 released
Date: Feb 24, 3:17 pm 2010

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce that Klactoveedsedstene v1.0.3 has just been
released.
It doesn't include any new features as such, but has become more
intelligent.
This includes automatic detection of HTTP proxy, automatic import dialog
after installation, and various other minor details.

Maybe not of great interest to this group, but since v1.0.2, it also
supports Windows.

Visit www.klactoveedsedstene.com, and try out a cool Song Player.

Regards
Viggo

Subject: [LAA] [ANN] Ecasound 2.7.1 released
Date: Feb 23, 1:41 pm 2010

1. Summary of changes in this release
-------------------------------------

Various bugfixes, including a fix to a bug causing audible glitches
with old versions of ALSA and certain hardware drivers.

2. What is Ecasound?
--------------------

Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing.
It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format
conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing,
recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio
inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be
combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by
operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode
user-interface is included in the package.

Primary platform for running Ecasound is GNU/Linux. Ecasound can also be
run on many UNIX-derived systems such as FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris.
Limited support for Windows is available through Cygwin. Ecasound is
licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed
under the LGPL.

3. Changes in 2.7.x series
--------------------------

v2.7.1:

* Bugfixes.

v2.7.0:

* Open Sound Control (OSC) support. See the initial announcement
mail sent to ecasound-list:
http://eca.cx/ecasound-list/2009/04/0036-fixed.html
Current interface is documented at:
http://eca.cx/ecasound/Documentation/ecasound_osc_interface.txt
The interface is still limited and subject to change in
later releases, but it's a start.

* New '-chorder' operator that allows to reorder channels of
an audio stream. Also duplication and omission of certain
channels is possible. See ecasound(1) man page for more
information.

* Added new amplify/gain variant '-eadb' that allows to specify
the gain in dB. See the related mail thread:
http://eca.cx/ecasound-list/2009/03/0034.html

* Refactored POSIX signal handling in ecasound. See the following
mail for some rationale, as well as a list of changes.
See mail thread:
http://eca.cx/ecasound-list/2009/02/0027.html

* Various optimizations to Ecasound inner loops using
the liboil library. See http://liboil.freedesktop.org/wiki/
To enable the optimizations, liboil-0.3 development files
need to be installed and '--enable-liboil' must be passed
to Ecasound's configure script.

* New 'cop-get' interactive mode command. See the updated
ecasound-iam(1) manual page for further info.

Full list of changes is available at:
- http://www.eca.cx/ecasound/history.php

4. Interface and configuration file changes in 2.7 series
---------------------------------------------------------

v2.7.0:

Output of '-ev' operator has been renewed.

The name for default chainsetup created from command line is now
"untitled-chainsetup".

Most of the entries in the installed ecasoundrc file
(in ${prefix}/share/ecasound/ecasoundrc), are now commented
out by default.

Major changes to the libecasound library public interface.
This should not really affect anyone anymore, as direct use of
libecasound has been discouraged for a long time and it is
available only as a static library, but just in case someone
is still using it. See libecasound/ChangeLog for a detailed
list of changes.

5. Contributors to 2.7 series
-----------------------------

Patches - Accepted code, documentation and build system changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Extracted with 'git-shortlog -s':

v2.7.1:
- FUJI (1)

Subject: [LAA] Rivendell v1.7.0
Date: Feb 23, 1:41 pm 2010

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce
the release of Rivendell v1.7.0. Rivendell is a full-featured radio
automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It
is available under the GNU General Public License. Changes in this release
include (from the NEWS file):

*** snip snip ***
Changes:
Log Import Format Presets. Added preset import configurations in
RDAdmin->ManageServices for several third-party scheduler systems.
The following systems are supported:
CounterPoint Software
Music 1
PowerGold
RadioTraffic.com
Rivendell Standard Import
Visual Traffic

New AsPlayed Report Format. An ELR format for Music 1 in has been
added in RDAdmin->ManageReports.

Log Import Scripts. It is now possible to specify an optional script to be
run at log import time before regular import processing takes place. This
can be configured in RDAdmin->ManageServices with the 'Preimport Command'
fields. These fields accept the same wildcard sequences as 'Path' fields.

High-Resolution Timing. This version of Rivendell debuts the ability to
specify the start times and lengths of log events with 1/10 second
precision.

New Translations. Two Norwegian translations (nn_NO and nb_NO) and a
Spanish translation (es) have been added.

Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 186, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.

As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow
any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. Due to the
complexity of the schema changes required for this update, the process
may take significantly longer to execute than is commonly the case;
users are cautioned to allow for ample time operationally.

Cheers!

Subject: [LAA] [ANN] guitarix-0.05.9-1 release
Date: Feb 23, 1:41 pm 2010


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 in one input and two output ports to the jack graph.


Release 0.05.9-1 :

* add Midi learn (by Andreas Degert)
* add internal direct convolution unit with 7 filter kernel (amp models)
* add LADI level1 support
* add a new light skin
* reworked multi thread handling(by Andreas Degert)
* reduced CPU usage for Oscilloscope

To the midi learn function: a middle mouse button click on a controller pop's
up a little widget, move the midi controller you will use, the controller number
is shown in the widget. Press OK when you've done. That's it.
By the way, a right click on a controller pop up a spinbox for direct enter
the value with your keybord.

have fun
