Show-off my open-source stuff, mostly of the Linux Audio/MIDI genre
Half-a-dozen years have gone, it is today that the sequel to My Software Ecology goes online, adding to the already shameless self show-off :) Hope you find it interesting if not only fun to read.
There it goes,
A bigger thanks to Gabbe Nord for the additional five-teen minutes of fame.
Have a nice and prosperous New Year!
Cheers.
Not sure if I'll be back anytime soon, as life is short and shorter by the minute as there's so many things to get done, let alone seeing again. I believe no matter one sees it, Graz is a lovely town, singular on its own. And it just got brilliant after this latest LAC iteration. As they say 'round here, it's like Porto (the wine), it just gets better with age :).
As it's been the norm, this self-indicted über-procrastinator only gets the chance to put some babbling about the experience a lot after. So it is this now, it's all gone and wrapped and is with tears in the eyes that these lines are now happily written.
Some would remember this and then, Alvin's now back home for good.
Although I was just a toddler at the time, I still keep in my deepest one of the greatest guitar licks of all time, more than Hendrix at the same venue, sure I tell it inspired a great part of my whole adolescence.
I hope I have more ten years to get back home like he did.
Following the barefoot steps of synthv1 and samplv1, a brand new proto-toy joins the so called Vee One Suite. There's now three on the gang. Enjoy :)
Yep, it's all free, open-source Linux audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.
MIGRATED! to sourceforge.net (see above)
<?php echo format_interval(time() - mktime(17, 0, 0, 9, 3, 2012)); ?> ago.
UPDATED! after a long Post-vacation relax ;-)
<?php echo format_interval(time() - mktime(18, 0, 0, 8, 27, 2012)); ?> ago.
heil to the proto-toys! see if you can see the difference(s) ;-)
following in the same vein, like "look mamma, I've made this!", here goes yet another proto-toy called samplv1--an(other) old-school all-digital (of course) polyphonic sampler synthesizer with stereo fx.
have a sample:
upstream svn trunk:
LV2 URI:
still rough in the edges but pretty functional; as the previous one, it comes in both forms of a JACK stand-alone client and a LV2 instrument plug-in.
have fun.
aka. synthv1--as announced last week on IRC (#lad, #qtractor and #opensourcemusicians)--an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.
take no prisoners:
upstream svn trunk:
LV2 URI:
nb. licensed under the GPLv2 or later.
I'm back! from this years journey to Linux Audio Conference 2012, held at the CCRMA Stanford, CA of course :) Good riddance of a +0800 jet lag, it took me almost 3 days do recover in full, sort of. Still speachless though. Well, I never was a good speacher nor writer anyhow, even on my own native mother's language (european portuguese for the clueless). The LAC journeys are mostly the single opportunity on each year when I get to exercise some spoken english, as awful as my own version of it may sound to tender ears. Move along.
Yes. Another year, another LAC, one can cynically say. And yet, this year marked an ephemeral 10th anniversary and it went all just so perfect and smooth as much of that kind numerology can go. It might be kind of lazy to say there were zero (0) incidents to rant about. It's amazing what so much can be done with so few good people (or so I think). Sure that we all missed some old faces and habitués, most notably Frank Neumann aka. AudioFranky. But the few who mastered the steering wheel have done a whole hell of a job. Fernando Lopez-Lezcano, Bruno Ruviaro, Robin Gareus, Julius O.Smith and Jörn Nettingsmeier at the backstage, as always.
The talks were great, the coffee was lousy but the latter got completely obscured by any sip of wine I could find from Napa Valley, which was just excellent, in fact exceeding all my best expectations. From this egg-head of yours, yet coming from a proud-and-traditional-wine-makers country like Portugal is... well, well... that was nice, really nice :)
Apart from all the frivolousness I had to pursuit just because it was my first chance laying my foot at the American continent, add to that that I was zombie-like compelled to touch with my own eyes and get my feet wet by what I call the Magellan effect ;) I had to stare and touch the Pacific ocean once in a life time :) Half Moon Bay was the place, home of the famous Mavericks surf spot. And speaking of it, well, it isn't that a big epiphany compared to what I have back home (Portugal). While stood in awe I did scratched my bald head and thought: -- Hell, this is no big deal, compared to what I have back there. In fact, you'll be amazed about how the west coast of Portugal is almost a copycat of this. Trade Atlantic by Pacific and you're done. Ah! Garret Mcnamara might just have a point in there :)
Back to reality. I am sorry not telling you the whole story and experience this time, compared to last years perhaps. Yeah, so much to tell, so short words to comply.
Nevertheless,
That's all folks!
See y'all next year on LAC2013@IEM-Graz :)
Cheers && Enjoy.
or not even close...
Loop-recording/takes is now being featured right from Qtractor SVN trunk (aka. qtractor 0.5.1.18+). That means you now have the option to automatically fold any recording clip into so called takes, each take sliced from each loop run. Worth noting is that this all works somewhat seamless, whether you have the (loop recording mode) option turned on or else.
