[LAD] Looking for speakers and demonstrations for the "Open Source Audio Meeting Cologne" (monthly community meeting)
Dear developers and users, the "Open Source Audio Meeting Cologne" takes places monthly since June 2014 in Cologne, Germany. It is a community meeting: linux and open source audio enthusiasts, user, musicians and developers connect, share, discuss and help each other. But the meeting is also a monthly "mini linux audio conference". While not really a formal conference we have talks and demonstrations each time that deal with musical, technical or scientific aspects of everything music and audio with free and open source software and hardware. Regular attendance is close to 10 people for regular meetings and more for special meetings, for example when we have invited speakers and "guest-stars". I would like any of you to be such an invited star. If you are in the area (or willing to make a trip) it would be fantastic to have you here and give us a talk or demonstration about YOUR topic. Be it your music, your software or anything that you work with or on. You can answer me in private or publicly, your choice. If you are interested here is some more condensed information: -The time frame for a talk or demo is from 30 minutes to 2 hours for such an event. -Dates for 2016 (all Wednesdays, all 7pm): March 16th, April 20th, Mai 18th, June 15th, July 20th, August 17th, September 21st, October 19th, November 16th -The language can be English or German -The place is Heliostrasse 6a, 50825 Cologne Germany and has very good public transportation nearby and is therefore easy to get to. -While we have no money to offer you can get a place to sleep for the night and food. -We provide the option to record your talk on video and upload it (or simply send it to you, if you prefer) Website: http://cologne.linuxaudio.org It would be fantastic to hear from you!

[LAD] PyNSMClient 2.0 - Non Session Manager support for your python program in one file
Hello list, I just put PyNSMClient 2.0 on my github page. https://github.com/nilsgey/pynsm2 It is a Non Session Manager Client-Library in one file with no dependencies except Python3 (and NSMd of course). It is designed to make it easier for your program to support non session management. There is an example file which is a complete program with a PyQt5 GUI and a JACK noise generator output. Both the example and the lib-file are documented. Additionally there is a small README.md License is LGPL. The client is largely untested and there are some NSM-API features missing, but it should be easier to use and be more stable than version 1. Real testing and a proper release will begin once I use my own lib with Laborejo2 ( in development behind the scenes). Have a nice day, Nils http://www.nilsgey.de irc: #laborejo on freenode. ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
Re: [LAD] [LAU] Linux Audio Berlin user group
Hello Berlin User Group! Hello Bruno, Hello Sam, that is very good to hear! On behalf of the "Open Source Audio Meeting Cologne" I wish you luck. We exist for a year now and our regular meetings are 4 to 10 people. Maybe you find these information useful: Most important first: - Keep it social. There is no topic and no information which people just simply couldn't look up on the internet, if they are really interested. The point of such an event is to meet real humans. - There is a small website. Everything on one page. I asked linuxaudio.org for a subdomain. http://cologne.linuxaudio.org/ - Additionaly there is an Etherpad for protocols and where people can announce if they plan to come - We started with a meeting every two month and then upgraded to monthly - There is regular content and a slot for announced or improvised talks or presentations. See here http://yourpart.eu/p/linuxaudio-cologne - Even with no planned program it is no problem to spend your time with question and answer sessions. - There is a small mailing list for internal stuff. Currently, since I've written the ML-software myself, you have to register in person. Facebook and other stuff is mainly an extended calender and declared as such. So there is really only the website as central space for information. Keep Rockin'!

But where, from your standpoint, is the package manager? I found one the strong points of Linux is that you have your central installation place. What I would like to see is a change of culture, more tailored to the users who like experimenting and trying new things out: In Windows I like that it is customary to offer all-in-one binaries, even if you only release a super-early techdemo in a forum. For me that means: Especially for some super-early tech demos in forums. Instead of an undocumented github page where I have to read the code first to figure out the dependencies. Bottom line: More binaries for small and obscure software, for the time between release and adopting into package manager (even if that is years). In the end I like my pacman and I always find it nice to see that the Arch package is there in binary form and not only an AUR script. > I can make a developer-oriented tutorial on how to use that, so that > developers can provide linux binaries to its users. > Would that be something useful to Linux Audio?

Just a quick response. The "fork" on github is AFAIK intended for something else. Not for "stealing" and rebranding an entire project but for maintaining a working copy which then can ask for pull requests upstream, conveniently managed by github and made possible by the de-central git philosophy. Also: The fork button there is easy to click by accident and it is inconvenient to remove such a fork from your account. So sometimes forks appear and do nothing, just because someone clicked the wrong button.

This is not about ego, it is about politness are recognition. A part of the motivation of creating open source software of any kind is creating a "brand name" from your name. Because there is no other positive feedback then happy users and the usage of your software. Other commercial things like getting paid, a pat on the back from your boss, some magazine prizes or whatever usually don't happen. And of course forks are an important part of the open source culture and there are many reasons to create a fork. But if you do it be polite and nice and notify the original author so she or he (in this case fons) can port back interesting or good changes. Especially in a scene and community like Linux Audio where it is actually possible to know most of the persons names and projects by name. I don't think that is too much to ask for. I look forward to the new Aeolus version. Thank you, please keep up the good work Fons. Many people (I know personally) use your software and are very statisfied. Me included.

That's so great, > leave all those license jungle behind me. > :-) You didn't even need the permission. That is what I wrote at first: CC-by implies that you can relicense the work with a more strict license at any time. From cc-by-sa over GPL up to closed source. As long as you keep the authors name around. Since I don't know the actual code/object/thing we are talking about you might have stepped in the jungle yourself now: If that work is a binary work like audio data then the GPL is the wrong license. GPL is all about source code and its binary form. You can't simply redifine other data as source code and then say "the rest is GPL". If the original work was already fitting for CC-by (and not a mislicensed piece of code) then CC-by-sa might be much more appropriate, since it is the binary-data equivalent of the GPL. In any case and bottom line: All that matters not if you don't modify. Have fun!

You just need to give it a different name and credit the original author. Then you can change the license to a compatible one. I suggest cc by sa since this adds GPL compatible copyleft. Changes on your version need to be relicened as ccbysa then while the original ccby version stays untouched. This is a general principle: a work which is as freely licensed as cc by, public domain or compatible can be relicensed as-is with a more strict one. ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
[LAD] Laborejo Release version 0.8 (More of the same - Only better)
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.

[LAD] Laborejo 0.7: Non-Session-Manager support, Playback Cursor, Numpad Palette
Laborejo 0.7 is released. Together with a new website design http://www.laborejo.org comes a new release of the Music Notation Workshop. Besides the usual fixes and small enhancements please focus your attention on the following new features: -Non Session Manager support. Start Laborejo through the NSM Gui and it will be under session management -Numpad Palette and corresponding shortcuts. A gui widget shows you what musical objects your numpad will insert. You can change the palette through the menu or by switching through with numpad-plus and numpad-minus. -A moving playback cursor, showing you which part of Bachs "Kunst der Fuge" you currently don't understand Laborejo -Music Notation Workshop- is a graphical user interface for Lilypond, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection to inspire and help you compose. You get beautifully engraved notation through Lilypond and nice ways to control the playback without ever leaving a notation-based environment.

[LAD] Python Non-Session-Manager Client Module (version 0.1)
Dear Developers, I've written a convenience interface to implement Non Session Management as fast and easy as possible in Python 3 applications. It is no magic programming at all, but it makes things just that tiny bit easier that is required to actually implement something, and not only plan it. The real work is to follow the rules of a managed system (see http://non.tuxfamily.org/nsm/API.html ). So implementing the technical side should be a no-brainer to let you focus on the actual task. pynsmclient is open source under the GPL3 or later and can be found on my github page so you can start using it right away. https://github.com/nilsgey/pynsmclient I also have written a short article in my blog about that topic http://nilsgey.de/?id=24 Greetings, Nils ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
[LAD] Laborejo Release 0.6 - Beta phase has started
Laborejo, Esperanto for "Workshop", is used to craft music through notation. It is a Lilypond GUI front-end, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection to inspire and help you compose. Laborejo 0.6 is released. It now has an internal soundfont (and sfz) engine, comes with a lightweight General Midi sample set and supports jack midi outputs. New Midi-In implementation. Parameters and values for both engines are separated. You can use the same file for big orchestrated playback with gigabytes over gigabytes of sampled instruments and external synthesizers and maintain a parallel General Midi version which can be played back even if the samples are not there or running (laptop, work in a train, "just compose for 10 minutes", send it to friends for a preview etc.) This marks the end of the Alpha phase and beginning of the Beta phase. That means the current features are enough to make and handle a reasonable range of music and notation and also that the save format is now stable. If you manage to save a file you will be able to load it in later versions. Versions from now up to 1.0 will be only bug fixes and improvements: Stability, Performance, Documentation, Convenience as well as Look&Feel. (There are a few new features I would like to see in 1.0, but these are convenience features that do not disturb the save format or internal data format. Read-Only) Documentation and Translation can now be based on a somewhat stable program. Yes, there will be documentation. Cross Platform versions, stand-alone/portable packages and collaboration with distribution package maintainers is now on the Roadmap.

[LAD] Licensed for Sampled Instrument Example / Suggestion
Hello Developers, I have written a short blog post about what I think is the ideal license for open source sampled instrument libraries. It is in fact either a CC license or GPL, I am not so naive to think I am able to write an entire license, but I have added necessary additions and exceptions. I am not a lawyer and I have no education or official background in law and rights. This is a suggestion, based on my experience with existing licenses and the requirements of sample based virtual instrument libraries, a.k.a "Samples" http://www.nilsgey.de/2013/02/28/License_Proposal_for_Sample_Instrument_Libraries/ I welcome any comments here or in the blog itself since I know that licenses are a serious matter. And I don't want to make a fool of myself. I remember some weird licenses, even in the linux audio community, and I don't want to create one of them :) Greetings, Nils ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

[LAD] Joining LAD and LAU lists (And: more central instances in a "herding-cats" community are good)
Hello both lists, I see the reason for a non-discussion announcement list, LAA, but is it really necessary to have twp lists? I know there are several people who only subscribed to one list, but I don't know if this is intentional or not. Why not merge both. The immediate effect would be a stop at the cross posting just to reach the whole community. The mailinglists are from the same service, but I think in the end it would be more convenient and better for everyone to have it all in one place. Yes, I know some of you fear (mostly people in the dev list who do not read LAU) that they will get unwanted mails. But as you can tell from experience topics like "why linux audio sucks", "water as fuel" and other mega/nonsense/offtopic threads get cross posted anyway. And I know some of you think devs and users should be kept seperated. But be honest: Who in the world is subscribed to a linux mailing list and could not stend the occasional developers topic. If you want beginner-level support you most likely don't know how to use lists :) Just to be clear: I am a friend of diversity and seemingly "redundant" applications and projects. There cannot be enough sequencers, samplers, synthesizer, notation programs etc. But when it comes to infrastructure and core building blocks I see no sense in seperation. This is the strong point, compared to other operating/eco-systems. We may friendly compete on a musical or feature basis, but there is no need to border a program just to make it harder for the users to use the program of the "enemy" (from a Windows/OSX POV). In a Linux-Audio world of diversity and individuality, it is good to have central places and instances.

Check Help->Manual for navigational and note/rest entry keys. Everything else is in the menus. New since version 0.3 (highlights): * Lyrics are visible under the tracks directly and aligned to their notes * Nicer cursor :) * New dynamics like fp and sfz. * New commandset for note speed entry with the numblock. * Colored always-visible Marker in the GUI to indicate track groups. Also displays small instrument name for better orientation * Lilypond binary and pdf viewer are now a config variable * More Subsitutions (assign a pre-defined group to host notes. Group gets transposed and scaled accordingly). Final Fantasy arpeggio, common melody figures etc. * Many bugfixes and small improvements that make the program work like you expected it to do anyway Most important known problems: * This is Alpha Grade Software. Don't use for long-term work. However, the produced midis and PDFs will last forever. * There is no built-in jack midi output yet. You have to export midi files. * Documentation is nearly non-existent. * Deleting selected objects may result in strange gui behaviour. Nothing a save/reload can't fix for now.

Re: [LAD] [LAU] Linux Audio 2012: Is Linux Audio moving forward?
There are good things as well. For music notation Linux is at least equal to any other system except the handwriting of a 19th century professional. For the advanced stuff and music that is really meant to be published as print product there is of course Lilypond which still beats all other products in quality, the only category that matters here. And for the consumer and amateur market there is Musescore. Both those programs absolutely suck at playback functionality compared to a typical midi sequencer with a piano roll editor. Windows world has Notion, which seems to be made by educated and intelligent people, because that is how their program is desinged and presented. With Laborejo I am working on a program for exactly that usecase, creating great playback through notation, without the need for a piano roll sequencer. Except I base it on Lilypond and they don't, so in terms of printout-quality the match is already won here for the open source side. As you may know from other messages here and my blog www.nilsgey.de a "great Playback" also requires good sound creating programs such as Samples, Synthesizers or Physical Modelling, which are drastically underrepresented in the Linux Audio World and the best option is still to slave a win/osx machine or to rely on Wine/VST, unsupported and unstable as it is, unable to load the newest copy protection years after their release or never. I see this as a pattern: Nearly all of us work on host programms and connection tools. Obviously this it the right choice because who needs the best synth when you can't play it? Could it be that we are so far behind that our brightest and most creative minds still have to concentrate on the underlying general purpose tools instead on specialized short-term software? (such as synths and samplers. These follow a trend and are still driven by technological innovation, so each orchestral lib really sounds better than another one two years earlier) Nils ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

Can it do the reverse? The analysis of the current frequency is the hard part, not the speeding up and down, which can be done with sox already: sox 440Hz.wav 432Hz.wav pitch -31 For example, to tune a file to 440hz: zretune 440 input.wav output.wav or even more convenient, when dealing with equal temperament: zretune 60 in.wav out.wav to tune to the frequency of midi key 60, which is the middle C.

[LAD] Denemo 0.8.6 release - Music Notation Editor
Sorry for the crossposting, but the statistics show that only some people have subscribed to all three lists. Just after one month the Denemo project has released a new version of its music notation program. Denemo 0.8.6, which is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS (via third-party builds) as source and binaries. The software is distributed under the GPL. Denemos notation-functionality is ready for daily and professional use and aims to be the only tool you ever need for notation and an Open Source alternative to Finale, Sibelius or other unfree software, because the tools for producing art and culture should be free. Notable new features are - Downloading new commands and edit scripts between releases - MIDI out, Tempo and Volume changes and insertion of arbitrary MIDI messages at any point in the music. - Edit lyrics in text editor and see the syllable placement as you type. Multiple verses per voice allowed. - Pasting LilyPond text directly into the Denemo window. By pasting the actual music text a Denemo editable score can be created from almost any LilyPond file. - With JACK, the playback starts from the cursor or plays back the selection if there is one. All this happens withoutre-creating the MIDI data, and in any case without generating external files. Official support, beneath our website, is avaible via our IRC channel #denemo on irc.freenode.net. For future improvements our team searches for additional developers. If you are interested in notation and midi-sequencing please join the team! Website: http://www.denemo.org Additional information: GNU Denemo is a free, GPL, open source music notation editor for Linux, MacOS and Windows that lets you rapidly enter notation for typesetting via the LilyPond music engraver. You can compose, transcribe, arrange, listen to the music and much more.

Sorry for the crossposting, but the statistics show that only some people have subscribed to all three lists. The Denemo project has released a new version of its music notation program. Denemo 0.8.4, which is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS (via third-party builds) as source and binaries. The software is distributed under the GPL. Some of the new features are improvements for scripting support and user-created commands and improved MIDI-output. Official support, beneath our website, is avaible via our IRC channel #denemo on irc.freenode.net. Denemos notation-functionality is ready for daily and professional use. For future improvements our team searches for additional developers. If you are interested in notation and midi-sequencing please join the team!

[LAD] Thoughts on a midi-sequencer based on notation.
(Sorry for crossposting, but according to the statistics there are many people who are in only one list and I want to hear the opinion of both devs and users) Hi people, If would like you to have a look at my initial thoughts about live-midi with notation, or the developing of a notation-based midi sequencer (for Denemo). It would be interesting to hear your thoughts, additions or comments (besides "You made a spelling/grammatical error"). http://denemo.org/index.php/Join_the_team!#Live_MIDI_out Of course if you are interested in this or other things your help would be welcome, we are always searching for help @ Denemo. Denemo is a Open Source Music Notation Editor, based on lilypond and written in C.

[LAD] Denemo 0.8 Release -
Dear linux audio users and developers, Short version: == Denemo 0.8 is fresh, hot and avaible now! Grab your tarball @ http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/denemo/ (Windows binaries will join in later) and have a look at our newest features including full scripting support! If you are a programmer please help us to give Denemo JACKmidi/JACKtransport support so that its capable of blending with the rest of Linux-pro-audio. For contact, feature requests, bug reports and further information please visit http://www.denemo.org Interesting version: == Denemo is a music notation program for Linux and Windows (and MacOS some time ago) that lets you rapidly enter notation for typesetting via the LilyPond music engraver (because Lilypond is the reference and there is no sense in coding your own WYSIWYG notation apps). Its mainly controlled via your pc-keyboard with several edit-modes and shortcuts. Please note that we need help! Denemo has already many notation features build-in and if anything is not avaible you can enter Lilypond commandos and save them with your denemo file so that you can use the whole range of lilypond features. This means that Denemo is already capable of writing full, professional scores. But it lacks sequencer-features like advanced playback and routing via JACKmidi and support for JACKtransport. To really become the first usefull Linux notation-editor and notation-sequencer this is the last piece of the puzzle. Version 0.8 changelog: 1. A scripting interface to the Denemo commands has been created. 2. Example script-based commands are provided with the Denemo installation. 3. New scripts can be hand-written or "recorded" from a sequence of menu item clicks or by editing another script or a mixture of these. 4. New commands (scripts) can be installed in the menu system, given keyboard shortcuts, and generally used as other commands are. 5. The example scripts provided include a script showing the potential of Denemo for use in music education. In this example, random notes are generated and the user has to name the note. 6. Other examples include scripts for commands useful when generating scores with percussion, guitar fingerings, orchestral markings etc. 7. Various bugfixes and improvements to midi import have been made. greetings, Nils Gey www.denemo.org ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
[LAD] [Announce] Denemo 0.7.9 Release and Looking for Help with ALSA/MIDI/JACK
Dear Linux-Audio-Users Denemo is a music notation program for Linux and Windows that lets you rapidly enter notation for typesetting and lets you produce beautiful output via the LilyPond music engraver. Now version 0.7.9 is released. Is has many great features and improvements which make Denemo unique as a notationeditor in Linux/Win/Mac. It can be downloaded as source, Debian-package, Fedora-Package or Windows-installer on http://www.denemo.org or on our Savannah page: https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/denemo/ Please feel free to tell us your opionion, comments, bugs or feature-wishes in a way you like it: http://www.denemo.org/?q=node/1 . We also need help! While Denemo itself is developing very fast and well there is still no JACK- and/or ALSA- midi support. This is needed that you can use Denemo as a Sequencer on Notation-base. Currently Denemo uses CSound for direct play or exports a Midi first and plays it afterwards. If you are willing to help us in this point (or in any other!) please contact our mailinglist or, if you like because its shorter, in this list or directly to my adress. This release includes: Allow LilyPond editing within Denemo. Gallery of examples - Ossia, Multi-measure rests, cues, cautionary accidentals, reminder accidentals. Rehearsal Marks ... Printing of excerpts as images (e.g. for inclusion in texts). LilyPond import improved Midi import improved. Better handling of keyboard shortcuts. Contexts (Piano context, choir context etc) http://www.denemo.org Community Links: http://www.denemo.org/?q=node/1 ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
