[music-dsp] Release pyo 0.8.1 (Python dsp library)

2016-12-11 Thread Olivier Bélanger
Hello all,

pyo 0.8.1 is now available to download on pyo's web site :

http://ajaxsoundstudio.com/software/pyo/

pyo's documentation:

http://ajaxsoundstudio.com/pyodoc/

Latest sources and bug tracker:

https://github.com/belangeo/pyo

News:

- Pyo now fully supports both python 2.7.x and 3.5.x. At first glance,
  python 3.5.x seems to be more stable and a little more efficient than
  python 2.7.x.

What's new:

New objects:

- LogiMap, random generator based on the logistic map.


New functionalities:

- Added a method (sysexout()) to send sysex messages to the Server object.
- Added PyoTableObject.getBuffer() method. The PyoTableObject now support
  the buffer protocol (see PEP 3118), which allow a table to share its data
  memory with any object that support the buffer protocol (ex. numpy array).
- Added Server.setCallback() method to allow the user to define a custom
  process function. This function will be called once per buffer size, just
  before the computation of the audio objects tree.
- Added Server.getCurrentTime() and Server.getCurrentAmp() methods.
- Improve Looper object: Added a time stream, which gives the current
  normalized position. Added loopnow() method, which allows to start a new
  loop immediately with crossfade. Added appendFadeTime() and fadeInSeconds()
  methods to give a more flexible control of the behavior of the object.
- Added an 'inverse' argument to PVGate object. When set to True, the
  damping factor is applied to bins with an amplitude above the threshold.
- Added a `callback` argument to PyoObject.set() method. The given callback
  will be executed at the end of the ramp.
- Added ctrl() method (and some missing setter) to midi objects.
- TableWrite object now takes into account the feedback argument of NewTable
  object and interpolates to fill in gaps if its writing pointer moves faster
  than the sampling rate.
- Added a reset() method to various delay line-based objects (AllpassWG,
  Chorus, Freeverb, Harmonizer, STRev, WGVerb, Waveguide).
- All objects can be used as iterator (will iterate over its internal sterams).
- SigTo ramp time now can be controlled at audio rate.
- Iter object now sends a trigger when it reaches the last value.
- Iter object now accepts PyoObjects in its list of values.


Bug fixes:

- Fixed jack ports auto-connection algorithm.
- Several minor bug fixes.


Improvements:

- Added low-latency driver WDMKS in the portaudio build routine for Windows.
- Replaced all printf calls with PySys_WriteStdout. This allow to redirect
  messages from pyo to a string or a file, instead of the stdout.


Documentation:

- Added new examples, 05-envelopes/ and 06-filters/.
- Added a new file, called "How to improve performance of your pyo programs",
  to the documentation.

Re: [music-dsp] Can anyone figure out this simple, but apparently wrong, mixing technique?

it's this Victor Toth article:

The article is 16 year old now and mention even much older
technologies. I think that compression/limiting (or ducking?)
+ dithering is what he was actually looking for.

Anyway if you’re short on ideas for unusual Christmas gifts, you
can purchase a unrestricted license of his mixer for just $1500.
