The release contains a simple series of logic gates. Namely an AND,
NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, XNOR and a NOT.

[LAA] 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. Music can be typed in at the PC-Keyboard, or played in via MIDI

[LAA] announcing openArtist linux distribution.

hello

I want to announce openArtist  (http://www.openartisthq.org). Its a ready to use ubuntu flavour build for
creative people.
Its main categories are 2D, 3D, Audio, Video, VJ, HardwareInterfacing, Programming and Collaboration. 

it is a try to put all things that are relevant in terms of multimedia into one package, ready configured and documented.

- based on ubuntu hardy, but heavily patched to jaunty, in terms of multimedia.
- custom made menues, with all the tools sorted logically.
- can be used as livecd or installed.

A specialization in other areas than audio (3D, VJ, e.g) is completely lacking in GNU/Linux, so I think that
my project has the right of existence. Also I think I digg a bit deeper, e.g. I also include free windows apps
via wine and applications that run in the webbrowser (the aviary tools, for example).

as stated before, the documentation is onboard, which means there is a mindmap (actually a net of mindmaps,
which is also the website), which collects everything relevant about a program. There is also extended
help in the comments when you hover over an application launcher, local documentation symlinked into one
directory, special help built into menue structure or program launchers, where needed

I stated to digg deeper, and I want to prove this with the examples of how I went into audio and 3D

audio:

I tried to make things as smooth and easy as possible.

In openArtist, there are mainly Jack and Alsa (also pulseaudio, but its turned off by default)

For every program that needs Jack to run (good), qjackctl will start with that program, automatically

[LAA] [ANN] zynjacku-5

In this release:
 * slv2 is no longer required
 * cache list of suitable plugins
 * speedup plugin list window
 * new tool, zynspect, that can be used to list and inspect available
   lv2 plguins.
 * Fix assert when restoring rack presets
 * By default, sort plugins by name
 * Experimental support for dynmanifest extension. Combined with
   NASPRO allows loading ladspa plugins in lv2rack.
 * Set plugin GUI window's role to "plugin_ui" (for WM kludges etc)
 * single plugin mode for lv2rack
 * Hide external UIs when zynjacku/lv2rack quits

zynjacku is JACK based, GTK (2.x) host for LV2 synths. It has one JACK
MIDI input port (routed to all hosted synths) and one (two for stereo
synths) JACK audio output port per plugin. Such design provides
multi-timbral sound by running several synth plugins.

zynjacku is a nunchaku weapon for JACK audio synthesis. You have solid
parts for synthesis itself and you have flexible part that allows
synthesis to suit your needs.

lv2rack is a host for LV2 effect plugins.

[LAA] [ANN] lv2fil version 2.0 "New hope" released

Four-band parametric equaliser LV2 plugin. DSP code by Fons Adriaensen.

Homepage: http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/lv2fil/

Screenshot: http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/lv2fil/lv2fil.png

Tarball download:
http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/lv2fil/lv2fil-2.0.tar.bz2
http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/lv2fil/lv2fil-2.0.tar.bz2.sig

= Overview =
Stereo and mono LV2 plugins, four-band parametric equalisers.
Each section has an active/bypass switch, frequency, bandwidth and
gain controls. There is also a global bypass switch and gain control.

= DSP =
The 2nd order resonant filters are implemented using a Mitra-Regalia
style lattice filter, which has the nice property of being stable
even while parameters are being changed.

All switches and controls are internally smoothed, so they can be
used 'live' whithout any clicks or zipper noises. This should make
this plugin a good candidate for use in systems that allow automation
of plugin control ports, such as Ardour, or for stage use.

= GUI =
The GUI provides knobs and toggle buttons for tweaking filter
parameters. It also provides frequency response widget with
differently coloured curve for each section and separate curve for
total equalization effect.

[LAA] [ANN] a2jmidid version 5 "Athos" released

a2jmidid is a project that aims to ease usage of legacy ALSA sequencer
applications, in a JACK MIDI enabled system.

a2jmidid implementation is based on jack-alsamidi-0.5 that is [almost]
same as jackd ALSA "seq" MIDI backend, both created by Dmitry Baikov.

Static bridges are based on code by Sean Bolton and Lars Luthman.

Homepage with screenshots: http://home.gna.org/a2jmidid/

Tarball download: http://download.gna.org/a2jmidid/

Changes since version 4:
 * Fix thight loop on D-Bus disconnect
 * D-Bus signals for bridge start and stop
 * Fixed alsamidi "disappearing output" bug. (backport from jack1)
 * MIDI note-off normalization fix from Dave Robillard (Backport from jack1)
 * Removed wrong assert from alsa_seqmidi.c reported by Ken Ellinwood (Backport from jack1)
 * Mark anything that looks like a hardware port as physical&terminal (Backport from jack1/jack2)
 * Fix potential crash when D-Bus is not used
 * Support for multiple ALSA clients with same name
 * Merge midibridge changeset by Paul Davis that is expected to fix
   midi event timing problems that some people have reported.
