Audio Mostly 2020 (AM'20) calls for Papers, Demos, Workshops, and
Music & Installations on the topic of audio mostly in extended
realities.
Audio Mostly is an audio-focused interdisciplinary conference on
design, technology, and interaction with sound that embraces applied
theory and practice-oriented research. As in previous years, the
conference will be in-cooperation with ACM/SIGCHI (tbc).
The Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM, https://iem.at/)
is hosting AM'20 in Graz/ Austria: we are looking forward to an
interdisciplinary event extending mostly -but not exclusively- the
audio reality!
Details can be found below and on https://audiomostly.com/2020/call/

# Virtual Participation
AM'20 offers virtual participation for oral paper presentations.
Accepted papers may be presented and discussed via video live stream
and are part of the proceedings. Passive virtual participation will be
possible for a small fee and includes a live stream of all paper
sessions and concerts and other virtual meeting formats.
# Call for Papers
Please submit your research as full papers (5-8 pages) or short papers
(4 pages). Both will be fully peer-reviewed in a double blind process.
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library (tbc).
# Call for Demos
We encourage authors to contribute demonstrations to be displayed at
the conference. Demos require a paper submission.
# Call for Workshops
We invite proposals for workshops to be held at AM'20. Selected
workshops will take place the day before the main conference
(September 14th). We encourage hands-on/interactive workshops and
regular workshops that last from 2 hours to a full day. Workshops are
proposed in the form of a submitted paper.
# Call for Music & Installations
We call for Music for auditory virtual environments and sound art to
be performed in a concert hall and as sound installations around the
conference site.
# Important Dates
Submission Deadline: May 01, 2020
Notification of Acceptance: June 15, 2020
Workshops: September 14, 2020
Conference: September 15-17, 2020
Registration opens in June, with fees in the range of 30 EUR (virtual)
to 150-400 EUR (physical).
Dear list,
I'm happy to announce the release of vstplugin~ v0.3.0.
[vstplugin~] allows to load VST2 and VST3 plugins on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Binaries are available on Deken or here: https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin/releases
Please report any issues at https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin/issues or https://github.com/Spacechild1/vstplugin/issues
BTW, I've made a small tutorial video :-): https://vimeo.com/382944239

*** Change Log ***
New features:
* better error messages when plugins fail to load (e.g. wrong CPU architecture)
* automatically scan VST3 presets
* new simplified preset management system, using named presets which are saved to standard locations (the old methods remain for power users).
* new vstpresetbrowser.pd abstraction
* improved vstpluginbrowser.pd: better GUI + plugins can be filtered by keyword, type, category and vendor
* [open( can be called asynchronously and responds with [open <success>(
* preset methods can be called asynchronously and respond with messages, e.g. [preset_load <success>(
* [reset( can be executed asynchronously and responds with [reset(.
* [search_stop( method to cancel an asynchronous plugin search.
* [param_list(, [program_list( and [preset_list( accept an optional plugin key argument
* [info( also outputs the VST SDK version.
* experimental support for PDINSTANCE (untested)
Bug fixes:
* fixed serveral bugs in the VST3 implementation
* fix crash when calling [midi_*( methods without plugin
* don't lock Pd when receiving events from the GUI thread if DSP is running, instead set an atomic flag and set a clock in the perform routine. This avoids dead-locks in certain plugins and also improves realtime-safety.

Have fun!
