CLAM 1.3.0, the Shooting Flying Plugins release

The CLAM team enraptured to announce the 1.3.0 release of CLAM, the C++ framework for audio and music,
code name The Shooting of the Flying Plugins release.

Highlights of this release are:

• NetworkEditor automatically generates and compiles a LADSPA plugin containing the network you are editing. CLAM also provides a new simple API to code that by hand yourself.
• More FAUST integration into network editor: edit faust code, compile, reload, view the svg diagrams (Natanael Olaiz GSoC)
• Lots of usability enhancements on the NetworkEditor: cut&paste, context menus to connect ports, keyboard shortcuts, default double click actions, and a processing tree filter (Natanael Olaiz GSoC)
• Annotator has also enhanced its functionality (Wang Jun GSoC):
  • You can build a project that aggregates content from several extractors
  • Extractors may have a config file
  • Extractors can write back data (useful if the extractor is a database of webservice and needs to upload modifications)
• New ProgressControl widget and paired AudioFileMemoryLoader processing to support seeking (Pawel Bartkiewicz GSoC)
• A bunch of new 3D spatialization processings from CI Barcelona Media audio research group.
• Scripts and graphical front-end to generate a native CLAM plugin project from scratch.
• Experimental Python bindings (still just-for-hackers install procedure)
• TickExtractor example is compiling again (many thanks to Amaury Hazan from MTG-UPF)
• Development deployment for Windows native compilation using MinGW (Wang Jun GSoC)

And a lot of small nice features and fixes you will appreciate for sure.
Source and binary packages for different platforms are available at the CLAM download page.

See also: development screenshots, the CHANGELOG, and the version migration guide.

We are very excited on what next releases promise us. Some ongoing work:

• Generating other types of network based plugins and programs (LV2, JACK, VST…),
• Subnetworks (Natanael Olaiz GSoC)
• Improved OSC support, 3D scene descriptors parametrization receivers processings and Blender exporter to the spatialization processing choreographer. (Natanael Olaiz GSoC – related blogging)
• Typed controls (Francisco Tufro GSoC)
• A new musician-oriented standalone chord extraction application (Pawel Bartkiewicz GSoC)
