Scripting GDB with Python

Aug 16, 2010 By Dave Phillips
My experience with athenaCL has been a little different from my explorations of CM/Grace and CsoundAC. The system is organized in a unique manner that I found confusing at first. However, my initial confusion quickly gave way to amazement, and I must confess that I've become a devoted user.

The use of Python in CsoundAC, Steven Yi's blue, and Oeyvind Brandtsegg's ImproSculpt indicates that Python has a special affinity to the task of music composition by algorithm. Indeed, the language is extensible, relatively easy to learn, and performs decently on modern hardware. However, rendering audio in realtime is not one of Python's strengths, so in athenaCL the task gets handed off to a designated audio rendering subsystem such as Csound.

Packet capture is one of the most fundamental and powerful ways to do network analysis. You can learn virtually anything about what is going on within a network by intercepting and examining the raw data that crosses it. Modern network analysis tools are able to capture, interpret and describe this network traffic in a human-friendly manner.

The LinuxSampler project was founded with the goal to produce a free, streaming capable open source pure software audio sampler with professional grade features, comparable to both hardware and commercial Windows/Mac software samplers and to introduce new features not yet available by any other sampler in the world.

terminatorX is a realtime audio synthesizer that allows you to "scratch" on digitally sampled audio data (*.wav, *.au, *.ogg, *.mp3, etc.) the way hiphop-DJs scratch on vinyl records.

... it includes a cross-platform class library, integrated development tools and a cross-platform IDE. Using Qt, you can write web-enabled applications once and deploy them across many desktop and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code.

This intro provides a ``getting started'' guide for the Synthesis Tool Kit (STK) [1,2] under Linux [5] and Mac OS X. This guide is aimed at developers of STK software, as opposed to mere users. As a result, a couple of modifications will be introduced to facilitate software development (i.e., debugging C++ code). It is also assumed that some variant of UNIX is the resident operating system. It is assumed that the reader already has some familiarity with programming in C and ideally also C++

Puredyne is the USB-bootable GNU/Linux operating system for creative media. Simply boot your computer using the liveUSB or CD and you're ready to start using software such as Pure Data, Supercollider, Icecast, Csound, Fluxus, Processing, Arduino and more.

You can make the move Ubuntu Linux Server in no time at all by following the steps in this hands-on guide where you'll learn how to install the software and start using your Linux server.

Structure Synth is a cross-platform application for generating 3D structures by specifying a design grammar. Even simple systems may generate surprising and complex structures.

Last week we looked at why Linux deserves some consideration when choosing an operating system for your digital recording studio. But even the worthiest operating system is useless without useable apps.

Fortunately, there is a long list of excellent music applications available for Linux. If you choose one of the Linux distributions recommended last week, many of them come preinstalled,

FLOSS Manuals is a collection of manuals about free and open source software together with the tools used to create them and the community that uses those tools. They include authors, editors, artists, software developers, activists, and many others. There are manuals that explain how to install and use a range of free and open source softwares, about how to do things (like design) with open source software, and manuals about free culture services that use or support free software and formats.

The Linux Audio Developers (LAD) list is dedicated to the development of audio applications and infrastructure for the Linux Operating System. With its proven stability and scalability, it is a perfect foundation for the handling and processing of large amounts of audio data.

Our goal is to encourage widespread code re-use and cooperation, and to provide a common forum for all audio related software projects and an exchange point for a number of other special-interest mailing lists.
