*apologies if you receive this twice*
Dear ICAD Members,
On behalf of the ICAD Board, it is with great deliberation that we inform
you that the physical meeting for ICAD 2020 in Gainesville, Florida from
June 7-11 2020 has been postponed until June of 2021. The ICAD Board has
thoroughly considered the health, well-being, and safety of our attendees,
and ultimately this was the best choice during these unpredictable times.
For authors, the submitted papers will officially be withdrawn without any
review (no papers were sent to reviewers or otherwise viewed by the program
committee). ICAD will be held next June at the University of Florida, so we
are essentially shifting everything back by one year.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to reach out to any of the ICAD 2020 organizing
team. Stay tuned for more updates on how to remain engaged with ICAD. We
hope that you will be with us for ICAD 2021 in Gainesville, FL.
Thank you,
Kyla McMullen
ICAD 2021 General Chair

Inter_agency is an artistic research project funded by the Austrian
Science Fund (PEEK AR 483) and hosted at the Institute of Electronic
Music and Acoustics (IEM) of the University of Music and Performing Arts

- Machine listening based systems for generative music - Real-time
composition
The selected applicant is expected to work on-site at the Institute of
Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) in Graz on a composition,
installation or performance which will be presented at the IEM during
the residency. The artist-in-residence will be part of our research team
and will receive support from the two main artistic researchers,
Artemi-Maria Gioti and Gerhard Eckel. The selected applicant is also
expected
to provide a documentation of the work developed during the residency,
the format of which is open (conference publication, online
documentation, research report, media release etc.)

Hi,
here's a new bugfix release for vstplugin~ - a Pd external to load VST
plugins in Pd 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.
Have fun!
Christof

CHANGELOG
## features
* CMake option to create statically linked binaries on Linux
## bug fixes
* fix bug when opening a plugin via creation arguments (it wouldn't
remember the "-e" flag and possibly lead to crashes when closing the plugin)
* fix memory leak in destructor
ELSE 1.0 Beta 27 is out! Numerous bug fixes in this one, so it seems I'm
now concentrating on fixing things rather than creating a bunch of new
objects. This means I might be getting quite close on moving to a phase of
"release candidate". By the way, I was waiting for Pd 0.51 to come out so I
could use some of the new stuff (namely the new powers of inlet~), but
it'll have to wait as development has been paused since xmas (hope it picks
up again soon)! A heads up is that this will promote many breaking changes
in several objects.
The highlight of this release is the many new features and redesign I made
to [else/pic], which I'm very proud now. A main fix is getting [keyboard]
to work again and another nice thing to mention is that I've implemented
zoom features for some of the GUI objects. See Changelog in the release
notes for more details => <
https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v1.0-beta27>.
Wait a little until all binaries are available and up in Deken! I'm still
waiting for a friend to send me raspberry pi binaries.
The Live Electronics Tutorial has also been updated, see release notes for
more info:

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/
The Conference Chairs
Katharina Groß-Vogt and Robert Höldrich
am20(a)iem.at
# 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!
Cheers,
Christof
