[LAA] xwax 1.4 release

13 min 32 sec ago
From: Mark Hills <mark@...>
Subject: [LAA] xwax 1.4 release
Date: Jun 10, 8:28 am 2013

I'm pleased to announce the latest release of xwax -- DJ software for
Linux.

http://xwax.org/
http://xwax.org/releases/xwax-1.4.tar.gz

New features include a fully scalable UI for high-res displays, 'software
pre-amp' and some smaller fixes.

xwax is open-source vinyl emulation software for Linux. It allows DJs and
turntablists to playback digital audio files (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC
and more), controlled using a normal pair of turntables via timecoded
vinyls.

It's designed for both beat mixing and scratch mixing. Needle drops, pitch
changes, scratching, spinbacks and rewinds are all supported, and feel
just like the audio is pressed onto the vinyl itself.

The focus is on an accurate vinyl feel which is efficient, stable and
fast.

[LAA] setBfree - DSP tonewheel organ

13 min 32 sec ago
From: Robin Gareus <robin@...>
Subject: [LAA] setBfree - DSP tonewheel organ
Date: Jun 8, 10:03 am 2013

It's been a while since the last announcement.. so here it goes:

setBfree v0.7.2 is out


setBfree is a MIDI-controlled, software synthesizer designed to imitate
the sound and properties of the electromechanical organs and sound
modification devices that brought world-wide fame to the names and
products of Laurens Hammond and Don Leslie.

http://setbfree.org
https://github.com/pantherb/setBfree


The list of changes since the last announcement (0.5) is quite long. The
most prominent new feature is a GUI for the LV2 plugin.

The GUI provides for bi-directional MIDI communication. The graphical
representation follows external controls and the UI can be used to
control automated faders/drawbars from the UI which is particularly
useful when recalling presets/programs.

The LV2 GUI also allows to easily create midi-maps and preset-program
which are compatible with the file-format of the standalone setfree
application.

On that note, we'd like to collect commonly used presets (.pgm) as well
as midi-map (.cfg) files. Please help us out at
https://github.com/pantherb/setBfree/issues/5


In other news, setBfree now..
* honors midi-panic (all notes/sound off)
* generate midmap files corresponding to current config
* LV2 saves/recalls its complete state
* can be reconfigured completely on the fly
* is played by pro organ players in at least 2 churches
* ...

happy playing,
robin + will


PS. there is a known problem with LV2 midi-buffersize for jack1 users.
if you run jack1, you do need a LV2 host that supports
http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/resize-port -- this includes jalv.gtk from last
week (svn rev 5114), ardour3 since 3.1-95-gcc8dafa and the mod-host.

[LAA] Laborejo Release version 0.8 (More of the same - Only better)

13 min 32 sec ago
From: Nils Gey <ich@...>
Subject: [LAA] Laborejo Release version 0.8 (More of the same - Only better)
Date: Jun 8, 10:03 am 2013

Laborejo 0.8 is released

We are still in Beta.
Streamlining, fixing and making things more robust is the main feature.
However, there are a few new features:
- Swing for Playback mode. In the Performance Signature.
- More preview and export options, especially for Lilypond
- Jack Transport start and stop sync. (Update calfbox as well!)
- "Did you know" help screen and splash dialog (optional)

There is a 0.85 release planned which will deal with making containers, selections and undo work together properly and implementing the last small features on my todo-list.

After 0.85 the plan is to work on speeding up the performance and writing documentation and translations. And the usual bugfixes of course.
This will transition smoothly into a stable 1.0 release

Since Laborejo now becomes more useful and usable with each release it became fair to accept donations.
There is now an extra donation page on the website. Please have a look. Your support would be much appreciated:

[LAA] balance.lv2

13 min 32 sec ago
From: Robin Gareus <robin@...>
Subject: [LAA] balance.lv2
Date: Jun 8, 10:03 am 2013

I'm happy to announce balance.lv2.

balance.lv2 is a LV2 audio-plugin for stereo balance control with
optional per channel delay released in terms of the GPLv2.

https://github.com/x42/balance.lv2

balance.lv2 facilitates adjusting stereo-microphone recordings (X-Y,
A-B, ORTF). But it also generally useful as "Input Channel Conditioner".
It allows for attenuating the signal on one of the channels as well as
delaying the signals (move away from the microphone). To round off the
feature-set channels can be phase-inverted, swapped and the signal can
be downmixed to mono.

It features a Phase-Correlation meter as well as peak programme meters
according to IEC 60268-18 (5ms integration, 20dB/1.5 sec fall-off) for
input and output signals.

balance.lv2 is *not* a panner. Even though the controls can be linked,
the stereo signal paths are completely independent (except for the
down-mix to mono output routing option).

Many thanks to Chris 'oofus' Goddard who inspired the current signal
flow, beta-tested the plugin and provided very valuable feedback.
Greetings to Jörn Nettingsmeier who nagged me about not having a proper
balance controller in Ardour and motivated this project in the first place.

yours truly,
robin

[LAA] ANN: New Pd-L2Ork x86_64 and Raspberry Pi release now available together with comprehensive how-to

13 min 32 sec ago
From: Ivica Ico Bukvic <ico@...>
Subject: [LAA] ANN: New Pd-L2Ork x86_64 and Raspberry Pi release now available together with comprehensive how-to
Date: Jun 8, 10:03 am 2013

It is my great pleasure to announce immediate availability of the latest
Pd-L2Ork, its K12 module, as well as the inaugural official version of
Pd-L2Ork for the Raspberry Pi platform. The new release is accompanied by a
comprehensive documentation on how to connect RPi to the computer as well as
run and configure Pd-L2Ork (and its K12 module) for operation on RPi. In
addition, as part of this release, the regular Pd-L2Ork install instructions
have been also streamlined to make them easier to navigate.

Special thanks to NewBlankets Inc. for the Satchmo SuitSup Award that made
our RPi hacking efforts possible!

For more info visit:
http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56 (x86_64 version with updated
how-to)
http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=2288 (Raspberry Pi version download
and how-to)

Changelog highlights:
*Fixed bug
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2457992&group_id=55
736&atid=478070; hopefully also fixed incorrectly reported hit/selection
boxes for nested structs (like the one reported in the previous bug report)
*added ability for preset_hub to write/read presets or entire scenes from
files. Improved documentation to reflect new additions and to improve
existing.
*added multi-connect option with 5 different modes:

1. shift-click manual multi-connect
2. two selected objects multiple outlets to multiple inlets
3. two or more selected objects connecting to one unselected one
4. one unselected connecting to multiple selected ones
5. multiple selected ones connecting to one's multiple inlets OR the
other way around (determined on whichever mode gives more valid connections)

Option 1 requires use of shift. Other options are based on what is
selected at the time of making the first connection (others are
automatically created based on conditions). Later consider adding special
undo that undos all connections in one step, rather than multiple steps. For
more info, please see Jonathan's recent email on the pd-list:
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2013-05/102871.html
*added ability for gop to intelligently detect when iemgui objects fit (or
don't) inside gop window. the same also applies to dynamic changes to iemgui
properties (size, font, label, delta, position, etc.)
*selection box makes patch scroll when reaching patch window edge
*Added support for multiline comments (with some help from Taylor O'Connor
and Jean-Philippe Ouellet).
*disis_wiimote 1.0.4
*added raspbian compile option
*improved logic for freeing rtext that alleviates memory leak but also does
not crash abstractions and gop objects (there are still memory leaks
apparent in l2ork_output~ external which may be linked to individual objects
having incomplete free functions). See
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3605235&group_id=55736&atid=
478070 for more info
*Fixed segfault bugs with ascseq and ascwave externals
*fixed memory leak (see
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3605235&group_id=55736&atid
=478070)
*bug fix
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3605973&group_id=55736&atid=
478072


Complete changelog (without the highlights):
*backported tcl updates to properly support updated pddplink
*fixed segfault when closing array window/subpatch due to lack of checking
of valid resize/move hook pointers
*added example files for the expanded preset_hub documentation
*fixed accelerated displace bug where nested structs did not get properly
tagged/selected
*fixed erroneous meta file generation script
*numerous bug-fixes for mouse down/up and key press combos (e.g.
shift-clicks for multiconnect and dragging within an object) [message continues]

[LAA] Qtractor 0.5.9 - The Juliet Quebec release

13 min 32 sec ago
From: Rui Nuno Capela <rncbc@...>
Subject: [LAA] Qtractor 0.5.9 - The Juliet Quebec release
Date: Jun 8, 10:02 am 2013

As an anticipated summer delight...

Qtractor 0.5.9 (juliet quebec) is now released!


Release highlights:

* NSM support (NEW)
* Audio buses plugin state restoration (FIX)
* MIDI channel file merge/export (FIX)
* MIDI editor rescale mode (NEW)
* German translation (NEW)

Weblog (upstream support):
http://www.rncbc.org


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


Change-log:

- Auto-incremental version numbering of backup session files; brand new
versioning mode option added.
- Fixed one long as ever MIDI file export bug, which was about washing
all self-induced MIDI bank-select (CC#0, CC#32) and program-change (PC#)
events into MIDI channel 1, regardless of the source track/channel.
- Fixed initial sample-rate settlement on plugin chains for all tracks
and buses whenever a session file original sample-rate differs from the
current audio device engine (ie. JACK).
- New German (de) translation added (by Guido Scholz, thanks).
- Now accepting JACK transport tempo and time-tignature changes while in
slave transport mode.
- Fix ref-count and auto-removal of created files that result from clip
merge/export when session is closed but not saved.
- MIDI track instrument bank/program selection, from plugin UIs that
support it, is now effectively and complete.
- Custom connections for dedicated audio outputs from all plugin chains
in MIDI tracks or buses are back in business, hopefully restored gain on
session load (ticket by yuba, thanks).
- Track Properties dialog now dirty after any plugin related change
(another head-up by yuba, thanks again).
- Tempo Map/Markers dialog is not set initially dirty anymore.
- Audio buses plugin state's persistence were found AWOL: while being
properly saved as usual, were being restored to default on every session
reload (as noticed by yuba, thanks).
- NSM (Non Session Management) support is being introduced.
- The MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) gets a brand new rescale mode:
ctrl+dragging the right edge of a note now rescales all times and
duration of all the subsequent selected notes (after an interesting
idea/ticket by Joel Leclerc, thanks).
- The new MIDI clip editor rescale mode also applicable to event values
(eg. note velocities, pitch-bend), while ctrl+dragging the edges of an
event vertical bar.
- VST plugin (GUI) idle timer makes a comeback.
- Hard-wired LV2 UI selection order for plugins which supply more than
one option (lv2_external_ui gets always honored first then, as provided
via libsuil, X11, GTK and last but not least, Qt4).

[LAA] gst123-0.3.3

13 min 32 sec ago
From: Stefan Westerfeld <stefan@...>
Subject: [LAA] gst123-0.3.3
Date: Jun 8, 10:02 am 2013

gst123-0.3.3 has been released.

Overview of changes in gst123-0.3.3:
------------------------------------
* Fix Issue 10: Local files not properly escaped when converted to URLs
* Added "-k, --skip=" option: skip first 'n' seconds [Tobias Bengfort]

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] Fwd: Matching Pursuit Toolkit (MPTK) 0.7 released

13 min 32 sec ago
From: Dan S <danstowell+lxau@...>
Subject: [LAA] Fwd: Matching Pursuit Toolkit (MPTK) 0.7 released
Date: May 16, 8:55 am 2013

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 tag surrounding book and dict)
* Slight Matlab API change: second “dict” arg now needed for
reconstruct(book, dict)

Best
Dan

[LAA] vst-bridge 0.1

13 min 32 sec ago
From: Alexandre Bique <bique.alexandre@...>
Subject: [LAA] vst-bridge 0.1
Date: May 16, 8:55 am 2013

Hi,

I'm proud to announce vst-bridge 0.1.

This is a bridge to run Windows VST plugins (both 32 and 64 bits) with
Linux VST hosts.

= How to use it? =

Let's suppose that you have installed vst-bridge in ~/local/ and
you have a windows VST installed in ~/.wine/drive_c/VST/Synth1/Synth1.dll

First you have to create a directory for your bridges:
$ mkdir ~/.vst-bridges

Then you can create your first bridge:
$ ~/local/bin/vst-bridge-maker ~/.wine/drive_c/VST/Synth1/Synth1.dll
~/.vst-bridges/Synth1.so

Now edit ~/.bashrc and add $HOME/.vst-bridges/ to VST_PATH. Mine looks like:
export VST_PATH=/usr/lib/vst/:$HOME/.vst-bridges/

Then you can start your favorite DAW, ask him to scan plugins again and enjoy!

= Architecture =

A typical installation looks like:
/home/abique/local/
/home/abique/local/bin
/home/abique/local/bin/vst-bridge-maker
/home/abique/local/lib
/home/abique/local/lib/vst-bridge
/home/abique/local/lib/vst-bridge/vst-bridge-plugin-tpl.so
/home/abique/local/lib/vst-bridge/vst-bridge-host-32.exe
/home/abique/local/lib/vst-bridge/vst-bridge-host-32.exe.so
/home/abique/local/lib/vst-bridge/vst-bridge-host-64.exe
/home/abique/local/lib/vst-bridge/vst-bridge-host-64.exe.so

vst-bridge.so is a Linux VST plugin which has space reserved for the windows
plugin path.

vst-bridge-maker creates a dedicated .so for a single Windows VST
plugin by copying vst-bridge-plugin-tpl.so and updating the path to the
Windows VST and the path to the corresponding host (32 bits or 64 bits).

vst-bridge-host-(32|64).exe hosts a Windows VST and communicates with
.so.

.so spawns a new wine process vst-bridge-host-(32|64).exe and
passes the path to the Windows VST plugin.

You can find the source code released under the MIT license at
https://github.com/abique/vst-bridge

You can also find binary tarball at
http://88.191.147.34:4242/vst-bridge/vst-bridge-0.1.tar.gz

It has been reported to work with: Synth1, ReFx Nexus, u-he Diva,
ABL2, epicVerb, NastyDLAmkII.

I had issues with : Oatmeals, NI Reaktor.

Thanks for your attention. I hope you'll enjoy it.

[LAA] [ANN] Praxis LIVE build:130508

Hi All,

A new build of Praxis LIVE is now available for download.

Praxis LIVE is an open-source, graphical environment for rapid
development of intermedia performance tools, projections and
interactive spaces. This release brings a range of new features for the
video pipeline, OSC control, some major editing improvements (including
copy & paste - who knew that would be so difficult to implement! :-) ), and
the rather obviously missing stereo sample player, amongst many other
tweaks and bug fixes.

Praxis LIVE is available as a Linux .deb package, Windows .exe installer
and as a .zip for un-installed usage (installed usage is recommended).

Website (with downloads and manual) - http://code.google.com/p/praxis
Release notes - http://code.google.com/p/praxis/wiki/ReleaseNotes

Some of the new features are conspicuously under-documented at the moment.
I'll improve this over the next few weeks, but feel free to fire questions
via email.

Best wishes,

Neil

[LAA] SooperLooper 1.7.0 released

13 min 32 sec ago
From: Kaspar Bumke <kaspar.bumke@...>
Subject: [LAA] SooperLooper 1.7.0 released
Date: May 13, 3:33 pm 2013

--20cf300fac6b8c009204dc83da41
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

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

[LAA] Vamp plugin SDK v2.5 and Sonic Annotator v1.0 now available

13 min 32 sec ago
From: Chris Cannam <cannam@...>
Subject: [LAA] Vamp plugin SDK v2.5 and Sonic Annotator v1.0 now available
Date: May 11, 8:10 am 2013

Version 2.5 of the Vamp plugin SDK, the audio analysis and feature
extraction plugin standard from the Centre for Digital Music at QMUL,
is now available. This is a bugfix release.

http://www.vamp-plugins.org/

Vamp is a plugin API for audio analysis and feature extraction plugins
written in C or C++. Its SDK features an easy-to-use set of C++
classes for plugin and host developers, a reference host
implementation, example plugins, and documentation. It is supported
across Linux, OS/X, and Windows.

Version 1.0 of Sonic Annotator is also now available. This is a
utility program for batch feature extraction from audio files. It
runs Vamp audio analysis plugins with specified parameters on audio
files, and writes the result features in a selection of formats.
Version 1.0 is a bugfix release, and also represents a decision to
finally number a release as 1.0 having had only 0.x releases to date.
