[LAD] I'd like to jump in

2011-04-04 Thread Gerald Mwangi
Hello Gabriel,
After looking at the composite website, the code and my time constraints
(PhD, Familly), I would like  to join forces with you on Composite.
What is there to be done? On the long run I would like to take some
technology of tX into Composite, especially the turntable-feeling and
the scratching ability. This could be done by creating a new window,
where the instruments/samples are portrayed as turntables which can be
scratched either by mouse or external hardware. What do you think?
Regards,
Gerald

as noted by clemens, these are essentially rebranded RME Digi card.
this is good and bad - you get support, but actually the h/w for these
cards is not very well designed. they were designed just before RME
had their epiphany and realized how to do bus mastering and really get
stuff right. they will work, but they are not very CPU efficient and
probably won't support low latencies as well as the Digi9652 and later
RME devices.

[LAD] ANN: upcoming L2Ork performances and a new pd-l2ork software release

2011-04-04 Thread Ivica Ico Bukvic
Dear Friends and fellow L2Ork and Pd enthusiasts,

I would greatly appreciate it if you would please distribute the following 
announcement.

The spring is in the air, which means it is time for the spring DISIS 
(http://disis.music.vt.edu) and L2Ork (http://l2ork.music.vt.edu) events. To 
start the season right, this past Friday L2Ork had a sneak preview performance 
at Roanoke College. More so, this coming weekend we are having a truly special 
series of events with the return of the Boys  Girls Club laptop orchestra whom 
we've been working with this semester. In addition, the spring DISIS event will 
also include guest artists and scholars Ron Coulter, Brad Garton, Peter Kirn, 
and Dave Phillips. The upcoming events include:

Thursday April 7 @ 3:30-4:45pm in DISIS presentation by Brad Garton
Friday 10am-1pm lectures in the Arts Armory by Brad Garton, Peter Kirn, and 
Dave Phillips (free admission)

Friday April 8 @ 7pm in Dumas Center (Roanoke, VA) children's concert featuring 
Boys  Girls Club laptop orchestra and L2Ork

Saturday April 9 @ 7pm in Squires Recital Salon children's benefit concert (an 
Arts Fusion event) featuring Boys  Girls Club laptop orchestra and L2Ork 
followed by a hands-on laptop orchestra demo session for kids and families ($5 
general, $3 children/students/seniors, with all proceeds benefiting Boys  
Girls Club)

Saturday April 9 @ 8pm in Squires Recital Salon benefit concert (an Arts Fusion 
event) featuring Ron Coulter, Brad Garton, Peter Kirn, Dave Phillips, and L2Ork 
($5 general, $3 children/students/seniors, with all proceeds benefiting Boys  
Girls Club)

This year we've also partnered up with the Virginia Tech Kids' Tech University 
program to expand our outreach to young audiences. For additional info on the 
upcoming events, please visit our Events page or our Facebook Event page 
(http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=136468179758733). To keep up with the 
latest updates, join us on Facebook 
(http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=117918141555131).

As if that weren't exciting enough, earlier this weekend we've made yet another 
public release of pd-l2ork (http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56) with 
even more cool features and fixes (changelog: 
http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/data/pd/Changelog). Our site has been also updated 
with the new promotional materials and photos. Yet, in the spirit of Steve 
Jobs' keynote speeches we've left the best for last. Stay tuned for more 
exciting updates soon ;-)

Re: [LAD] [ann] CAPS 0.4.5

It is very unfortunate that such a change might break the way your
bridge code works, Stefano, and I would like to apologise in advance.
(If the addition of a 'version' symbol exported by caps.so is any
help, I'll be happy to add that.)
 

[...]
 

Regarding the addition of a symbol, introducing something into LADSPA
(because if we agree on something, it's probably going to become a
generic mechanism in the end) is really something I would avoid. It
kind of both defeats the purpose of doing bridging well (i.e., no need
to make changes to existing stuff) and also it would be unfair to
recommend an addition to LADSPA without agreement from the whole
LADSPA community.
   

Thanks Stefano,

this extra symbol wouldn't be an addition to LADSPA itself.  Instead,
it would be one private to caps.so, completely independent of the
plugin standard.

Like so, for example:

  void * h = dlopen (/path/to/caps.so, RTLD_LAZY);
  /* assuming h is valid, check for caps */
  const int * caps = (const int *) dlsym (h, __caps_version__);
  if (caps)
printf (found caps version %d.%d.%d, caps[0], caps[1], caps[2]);

Should you consider special-casing for individual plugin libraries a
pragmatic and viable approach, I'd imagine something like this to be
helpful.  (Put together, the caps library version and the UniqueID of
a plugin guarantee a stable port signature.)
 

Ok, it seems like this is the best way to do it after all... in the
hope that this does not become a trend among LADSPA plugin authors.

Best regards,

Stefano

P.S.: using two version numbers instead of three could be of help in my case...
   


Global identifiers beginning with __ are reserved for the C 
implementation...


Might as well just use LADSPA as a prefix instead of CAPS, in case this 
needs doing somewhere else... though this whole thing is extremely 
awful, and I really hope that is not the case...


Another less awful option would be to somehow add the information to the 
library that the port is connectionOptional...


-dr

P.S. Just to verify, the new port index will be a new index greater than 
all the old ones, right?
