Go ahead and download… ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/psychosynth/psychosynth-0.3.0.tar.gz Among the changes, it includes: - Passive OSC support such that you can control it from your hardware, scripts and other music programs. The OSC API is documented here: http://psychosynth.com/index.php/OSC_interface_manual - Now compiles with GCC 4.7 too. - Now compiles with latest Ogre and CEGUI releases, making it possible to get Debian and Ubuntu packages working back soon. - High latency problem in ALSA fixed. - No longer crashes when changing audio settings. - All sorts of minor fixes. I hope you like it!

It seems that there are problems with psychosynth.com, I just contacted Nacho to figure it out... JP </pre> Juan Pedro Bolívar Puente 2012-04-02T23:32:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.psychosynth.devel/64 <pre>Hello! I just made the changes for the program to compile in newer Debian/Ubuntu. It seems that CEGUI 0.7.x comes with the OgreRenderer distributed in the same package! But also they changed their API so I had to change some more stuff... Alex, can you check if it builds on Ubuntu/Trisquel? The next days I will do some more bugfixing (with the CEGUI upgrade there are some windows with wrong size) and make a release. Btw, Alex, I recently got a MacBook from my company and was considering on trying out to build it there... The only library missing in MacPorts is CEGUI, and for output we can use jackd so we don't need to write a CoreAudio layer. Do you know an easy way to build a typical Dmg from an autotools program? Or maybe should we distribute only through MacPorts to encourage Free Software usage...? Cheers! JP </pre> Juan Pedro Bolívar Puente 2012-01-27T13:21:55 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.psychosynth.devel/59 <pre> Hey dev team. I love using this program and plan on using it live. I am a modular synth sound/noise artist and was wondering if I could send some sound samples for the next distro of this program. I hope to see MIDI support too. For being alpha this is definitely amazing and can do way more than reactable can. I also would like to pitch the idea of a 'power user' section on the web page. Most software sites have them and could draw more traffic. I am not trying to brag about my music in anyway, but if there was a section for power users I would be honored to be on it. I just got done playing the largest noise festival to date (NorCal Noisefest) and I am going to be doing some shows with psychosynth projected on the wall behind my set-up. My music can be found at 1iL.tumblr.com ~Robert (One Infinite Loop) </pre> Robert Walthall 2011-10-13T04:14:31 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.psychosynth.devel/57 <pre>Hey JP, In Ubuntu Oneiric there is no longer a proper libceguiogre package. When I try to install libceguiogre-dev from the repos, a broken deps error is launched. Reported in Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ogre/+bug/805557 According to the replies on the bugreport, it seems that the ogre source package no longer depends on cegui, and no longer will generate a libceguiogre... What should we do with this? Cheers, </pre> Aleksander Morgado 2011-07-08T10:52:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.psychosynth.devel/56 <pre>Hello all, I am trying to install Psychosynth on my Debian 2.30.2. Psychosynth is asking for the libogremain-1.4.6, but in my repository there is only libogremain-1.4.9 and higher available. I tried all, but Psychosynth is asking for 1.4.6. Can anybody help me with that problem? Is there any other Synaptic source available, where I can download 1.4.6 Best regards Andreas </pre> Andreas 2011-05-28T11:19:26 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.psychosynth.devel/53 <pre>Hello, I just merged into trunk all the heavy work in the gil-import branch. This also fixes a couple of quite annoying bugs and the codebase has changed a lot and thus I believe it is worth making a 0.2.0 release. The changelog includes: - New audio processing and I/O subsystem based on template programming for generic yet efficient sound signals. - The extreme latency when using ALSA bug seems to be fixed. - No longer depend on libvorbis, libsndfile can now handle ogg and flac files too. - No longer depend on sigc++, using boost::signals which, which is a bit slower but neglibe and this simplifies the dependencies. - The mouse wheel now scrolls in the object selector. - The object selector no longer lets mouse clicks pass through. - Backwards reproducing a sample works a bit better now too. - Some new niceties in the framework base layer. Known issues: - The program crashes when trying to open a mono sample. - The program crashes when failing to open the output device. - The program may crash in some new situations. - Changing the number of channels and sampling rate is, well, undefined behaviour. These issues are, in a way, a feature -- the new code is much better at checking unexpected conditions and throws exceptions accordingly. However, the UI code yet does not try to catch and correct most of these exceptions, thus the "crashes". I know I could fix this before the release, but is worthless work given the heavy refactoring that is about to happen in upper layers too, and still the program is perfectly able to operate in normal conditions. I suggest any readers of this list to give the new code in trunk a try before the release and drop their impressions here. Thanks a lot, JP </pre> Juan Pedro Bolívar Puente 2011-03-23T19:14:59 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.psychosynth.devel/50 <pre>Hello mates! “If only I a got a cent for every time I’m told to implement a MacOSX port...” Wait a second. Thanks to Flattr (http://www.flattr.com) I actually can get a cent every time I’m told to port Psychosynth to MacOSX and, eventually, get convinced to do so. Or maybe, somebody else might think: “Hey! I want to implement that MacOSX port and get all those collected cents.” Allright, just send a patch, and the money is yours This is the basic idea of the new Collaborative Roadmap. Every user can vote for a feature by donating some cents to the software. Any developer can go ahead and code that feature and get that money. All this is done thanks to Flattr, a new social micro-payment system specially useful to contribute volunteered libre works. More information in this blogpost: http://planet.gnu.org/psychosynth/?p=20 The Collaborative Roadmap can be accessed here: http://www.psychosynth.com/index.php/Collaborative_Roadmap I hope you like the idea. Every feedback is very wellcome! JP PS: Alexander Morgado: You could add the Ubuntu packages to Flattr and to the list in that collaborative roadmap and get paid directly for it. </pre> Juan Pedro Bolívar Puente 2011-03-11T18:53:38 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.psychosynth.devel/49 <pre>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The subject says it all.

All the GIL code has been reviewed, even with some readability changes, and either integrated in Psynth with names familiar in the audio processing domain, changed or deleted. There are some unit tests in the src/test/psynth/sound folder. There are even some performance tests that ensure that code written with our generic library is at least as efficient as hand-written code for different formats. So far, those tests provide very good results :) I will not close the task yet because it seems to me that these unit tests --which are also based on those of GIL-- do not check all the possible instantiation paths. Note that, even though we use boost::concept_check, without real concepts compile-time metaprograms actually use lisp-alike symbolic "duck typing". Also, I had some weird problems where GCC seemed to optimize away some statements with side-effects that involved the recursive instantiation of some weird templates. I hope you like it, and I am open to public review and commenting of the new psynth::sound library.

The whole core of the project is going to be almost rewritten in order to add the following functionality: - - A new basic sound proccessing library inspired by Boost.GIL image processing library. - - Midi and sequencing support. - - Plugin and LADSPA support. - - Polyphony. - - Hierarchical patches. - - Saving/Loading patches. This will for sure heavily influence the high level API that interfaces with the 3D UI so most of the UI code will be affected too. Therefore, the UI will be almost for sure rewritten too. The current UI, as Alexander knows well, has several problems. The worst of all is called CEGUI, a bad widget library filled with bugs that hinders usability. Also, CEGUI releases are heterogenous and create a maintenance hell for packages. Also, Ogre, even though it is a great scenegraph library for games, it causes maintenance problems and is often too heavy for the lightweight usage that we are doing. Alexander suggested kicking 3D out of the project and, after thinking a lot about it and asking a lot of people, I have come up to the following decision: *The next Psychosynth UI is not going to be 3D* This opens a new widest range of possibilities and allows us to concentrate on the original goals: to provide a innovative and collaborative (i.e. touchable?) interface. However, there are big constraints for the new toolkits to be used. One of them is time. In around 9 months or even less I will have to implement all the previously described changes and the new UI. That is a big challenge, therefore, rapid development is one of the biggest needs. Next, multitouch is probably the only way we can really provide a usable experience for Psychosynth, therefore a library that either already implements multitouch or is easy to adapt for so is good. While GNU/Linux is the main target, cross-platform support is probably the only way to attract the majority of musicians who use crappy operating systems and enlighten them with the great powers of Software Freedom :D I, therefore, encourage anyone following the development to propose their ideas and thoughs on which toolkits and designs of the new interface. On the toolkits discussion, I make the following proposals for debate: - - LibNui: http://www.libnui.net/ This library looks very pretty and audio applications already use it. It is written in C++ and works well on IPhone, etc. Sadly, while it claims to work properly on GNU/Linux, even the examples included in the source distribution work very badly on my Debian installation. Moreover, it is not distributed with biggest distributions. - - Clutter: http://www.clutter-project.org/ This looks really promising. It support multi-touch already on GNU/Linux, but I suspect that it does not on other platforms. It is written in C, which is a very unproductive language, but have both C++ and Python bindings. While C++ bindings seem to be barely maintained, the Python bindings are a bit better and I am strongly considering writing Python bindings for the 'libpsynth' and writting the whole UI in Python, which is a language that I really enjoy. But it has some drawbacks. The most important is that, "MX", the only reasonable widget toolkit that I have found for it, does not have any language binding --it is in C only. Therefore we may have to write some widgets for it. We can use it inside GTK, which might be a solution for some parts of the UI, we would like to avoid GTK as much as possible to provide a more interactive experience. Another solution would be to use GTK /inside/ the Clutter scenegraph, as I have seen in some examples, but support for that seems experimental and not supported by the bindings. I think that Alexander works near to people related to GTK mulitouch and Clutter so it would be very good if you could provide more insight on the suitability of this and other libraries. Thanks a lot for reading this and I look forward to hear everybody's comments :-) JP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyZKaMACgkQchi8veCammfpAACgnLIXXmmMphaZjiiQHQaph46s BQoAoLTjyoQeOjIrtXvnJgolezGD1MbK =PSgg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- </pre> Juan Pedro Bolivar Puente 2010-09-21T21:54:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.psychosynth.devel/36 <pre>Hi all, Please note that I moved the Ubuntu PPA of GNU Psychosynth to: https://launchpad.net/~gnu-psychosynth-team/+archive/ppa Note also that Andrew Fenn's PPA for Ogre is NO LONGER NEEDED in Ubuntu&gt;=Lucid. Currently, I'll only be supporting Ubuntu versions greater than Lucid, but just ask if you need packages for older versions and I might find some time to setup the ppa for them.

Así llegué con mucho gusto a PsychoSynth :D Mi pregunta, ahora, es si el proyecto sigue vigente. He visto que no tiene acutalizaciones desde hace más de un año. Esto sería una pena, ya que creo que es una muy buena aplicación. De todos modos, te agradezco por el tiempo. Atte.- LC </pre> Lucas E.

I've checked out the code and will have a look at it later today. The project looks to be languishing - what's the reason? Something better out there, or have people merely moved on?

It seems you added a dependency to libgtk-x11-2.0 or something, but it was not being checked). And some other minor stuff... * Included a `bootstrap' script, to be called before ./configure (to get autotools run and such) * Removed from repo `config.sub' and `config.guess', which are created automatically during first compilation. I will prepare the Ubuntu Karmic Koala PPA soon.
