- <para>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 features multiple turntables, realtime
- effects (buit-in as well as
- <link ref="http://www.ladspa.org">LADSPA</link> plugin
- effects), a sequencer and MIDI interface - all accessible through
- an easy-to-use gtk+ GUI. <bold>This sofware is designed to run
- under Linux, FreeBSD and the like</bold>.</para>

<answer>
- <para>This depends on the file your loading. Wavfiles are loaded with
- the builtin wavloading routines (if enabled on compiletime) and this
- happens very fast. For compressed audio files the necessary decompression
- will consume quite some cpu time on loading.
- </para>
- <para>
- Since Version 3.73 loading of audiofiles has been
- significantly accelerated with the libaudiofile, libvorbis and
- mad methods.

<answer>
- <para><bold>Update:</bold>
- If you want to use your joystick along with your mouse I suggest using
- my tiny <link ref="aseqjoy.html">aseqjoy</link> tool to connect your
- joystick to the MIDI input port of terminatorX.

- 3.3.3.1 or higher. If you want to know how to do this read your
- XF86Config manual page (run man XF86Config) and find the part on
- "the optional XInput section". If you successfully configured your
- second (third ...) mouse / input device for XFree86 you now need to
- turn on XInput-support in the Options-dialog of terminatorX and you
- have to select the XInput device you want terminatorX to
- initialize. Now either press "Apply" or "Ok" and you should be able
- to scratch with that devices next time you press "Start".

<question>Should I install terminatorX suid root?</question>
- <answer>
- <para>
- Installing terminatorX <italic>suid root</italic> improves
- terminatorX' performance significantly for non-root users
- - as terminatorX will use the suid-root privileges to
- create the engine thread with
- realtime-scheduling-priority. Immediatley after the
- creation of the thread terminatorX drops root privileges
- before any files or devices are accessed. The problem is:
- the Linux pthreads manager thread can not be told to drop
- it's root privileges, which means that while the two
- threads executing terminatorX code run with the real
- user's privileges, the pthread manager thread still runs
- with root-privileges. While I cannot see how a malicious
- user or software could utlize this thread to acquire root
- privileges it might still be possible, so you'll have to
- make your on decision on performance vs security.

- <para>This terminatorX release does a very good job at erasing points from my TODO-for-4.0 list. Among
- other things this release introduces:
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>Finally terminatorX has a <bold>native</bold> <link ref="http://www.alsa-project.org">ALSA</link>
- <bold>backend</bold>. See the new <italic>Preferences</italic> dialog and the online manual for details.
- The ALSA and the OSS backends now both support operating at an
- <bold>arbitrary sampling rate</bold>.</para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>The audio data display is now <bold>zoomable</bold>. This helps scratching large audio
- files (like complete songs) significantly. Use the slider on the right of the display area to adjust
- the zoom level. When playing the audio data will scroll in such a manner that the current position
- is always centered.
- </para>
- <para>To optimize playback performance terminatorX does a lot of "zoom" calculations in
- advance - so adjusting the slider will cause quite some amount of recalculation on large audio
- files.</para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem><para>A <bold>MIDI interface</bold> thanks to a patch by
- <person><name>Arthur Peters</name><email>amp@singingwizard.org</email></person>. The MIDI interface
- is based upon the <link ref="http://www.alsa-project.org">ALSA</link> sequencer API, so you'll
- have to connect terminatorX' input port to an output port of your choice with either <screen>aconnect</screen>
- or for example the <link ref="http://pkl.net/~node/alsa-patch-bay.html">alsa-patch-bay</link>. To map a MIDI controller or note events
- to a turntable's parameter click the <italic>MIDI Mapping</italic> button.
- </para>
- <para>In order to test the new interface I hacked a little tool called
- <link ref="aseqjoy.html">aseqjoy</link> that emits MIDI controller messages based on
- Joystick motion.</para>

- <listitem><para>I finally untied audio rendering and audio backend. terminatorX now operates
- at a <bold>fixed internal blocksize</bold> of 1 ms. So now it doesn't matter anymore with which blocksize
- events were recorded - they will be played back correctly with any audio device blocksize.</para>
- <para>Note that
- a minor problem remains: the sampling rate has an effect on the blocksize, too. While there is
- no problem switching from 22 or 32 kHz to 48 kHz, there will be a slight rounding error switching from or
- to 44.1 kHz. So if you record and playback events I suggest you keep the sampling rate the same,
- or use "straight" sampling rates like 22, 32 and 48 kHz only.

- of a turntable to that of the master turntable. Click the <screen>Pitch Adj.</screen>

- <listitem>
- <para>Advancing the use of XML: many XML-related bugs have been fixed, and I moved the <bold>set file format
- to XML</bold>, too. The MIDI mappings of parameters will be stored within set files, too. As XML set files
- with a lot of sequencer events can grow quite big tX supports writing <bold>gzip compressed set files</bold>
- through the use of <link ref="http://www.zlib.org">zlib</link>.

- After spending an evening with Adrian in front of his
- big endian system fixing the audiofile loading
- routines, I decided that loading audiofiles through a

- mad</link> (for mp3 files),
- <link ref="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/">libvorbis</link>
- (for OGG/Vorbis files) and
- <link ref="http://www.68k.org/~michael/audiofile/">

- <para>Slowly approaching terminator<bold>XML</bold>: the

- editing your terminatorX configuration with a text editor - if
- you want to. Of course, terminatorX now requires
- <link ref="http://www.libxml.org">libxml</link> to be installed. For

+ <email>amp@singingwizard.org</email>

+ so you'll have to connect terminatorX' input port to an output
+ port of your choice with either
+ <screen>aconnect</screen> or for example the

+ blocksize.</para>
+ <para>Note that a minor problem remains: the sampling rate has an
+ effect on the blocksize, too. While there is no problem switching
+ from 22 or 32 kHz to 48 kHz, there will be a slight rounding
+ error switching from or to 44.1 kHz. So if you record and
+ playback events I suggest you keep the sampling rate the same, or
+ use "straight" sampling rates like 22, 32 and 48 kHz only.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>I added a little
+ <bold>pitch calculator</bold> that allows adjusting the playback

+ <para>Advancing the use of XML: many XML-related bugs have been

+ <para>After spending an evening with Adrian in front of his big

+ <bold>three new audiodfile loading methods</bold> that utilize
+ libraries instead of pipes. These are
+ <link ref='http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/mpeg/'>
+ mad</link> (for mp3 files),
+ <link ref='http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/'>libvorbis</link> (for
+ OGG/Vorbis files) and
+ <link ref='http://www.68k.org/~michael/audiofile/'>
+ libaudiofile</link> (for wav/aiff/au etc.). Using these routines

+ <listitem>
+ <para>Slowly approaching terminator
+ <bold>XML</bold>: the configuration file (now

+ - and it allows editing your terminatorX configuration with a
+ text editor - if you want to. Of course, terminatorX now requires
+
+ <link ref='http://www.libxml.org'>libxml</link> to be installed.

+ <para>I completely rewrote the

+ <newstext>
+ <para>Hope everybody had a nice start into 2002, these are the
+ changes that come with terminatorX release 3.72 (for details check

+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Thanks to a patch from
+ <person>
+ <name>Matthew Evans</name>
+ <email>activesx@hotmail.com</email>
+ </person>terminatorX finally supports loading
+ <link ref='http://www.vorbis.com'>Ogg Vorbis</link> audiofiles.
+ Note that this feature requires ogg123 (>= RC2) and
+ <link ref='http://sox.sourceforge.net'>sox</link> installed. The
+ very fresh RC3 release of Ogg Vorbis works just fine, too.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <person>
+ <name>Adrian</name>
+ <email>adrian@lisas.de</email>
+ </person>once again submitted code to the project: terminatorX
+ now features
+ <bold>mute</bold> and
+ <bold>solo</bold> buttons for each turntable's mixing unit. The
+ initial patch had some problems with the already existing
+ mute-function in terminatorX, therefor I extended the turntable
+ in such a way that the new buttons
+ <bold>only affect current mixing</bold> - the sequencer will not
+ record any events for them.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>I updated the XInput code to work with XFree86 > 4.
+ terminatorX now uses the
+ <italic>xsetpointer</italic> binary that comes with XFree86 to
+ switch the core pointer - as the old code doesn't work with newer
+ XFree86 releases anymore.
+ <italic>configure</italic> should auto-detect
+ <italic>xsetpointer</italic> if it's available.
+ <bold>Note:</bold> You only need to specify an additional XInput
+ Device in the options dialog if you want to use a scratching
+ device other than your mouse. (Yeah, I know, I state that in the
+ docs, tooltips, everywhere - but I still get bug reports related
+ to that issue...)</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Updated mpg123 loading routines that should work with
+ <link ref='http://mpg321.sourceforge.net'>mpg321</link> (which
+ many distros install instead of mpg123 these days), too. Note
+ that you'll have to have
+ <link ref='http://sox.sourceforge.net'>sox</link> installed in
+ order to get mp3-loading to work (As mpg321 doesn't support
+ mpg123's
+ <italic>-m</italic> switch).</para>
+ </listitem>

+ etc.)</para>

+ section</link>.</para>
+ <para>Initially I planned to integrate native
+ <link ref='http://www.alsa-project.org'>ALSA</link>-support into this
+ release but I simply failed to finish. As many people wanted to have
+ some of the above features early I decided to release it without ALSA
+ now, as I'll be busy for the upcomming weeks. I haven't given up on
+ ALSA though, hopefully the next terminatorX release will feature a
+ new audiodevice backend that supports ALSA (V0.9)
+ <bold>and</bold> OSS and brings many other adtvantages.</para>
+ <para>The website has undergone minor updates, too:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>The section header's now should look fine with
+ <link ref='http://www.mozilla.org'>Mozilla</link>-based browsers.

+ <para>While scratching with the mouse usually
+ <italic>sounds</italic> the way terminatorX users want it to (at least if
+ the feedback I get is representative) it doesn't really
+ <italic>feel</italic> like scratching. The only way to get that traditional
+ haptic feedback is to turn your turntable into a mouse device.</para>
+ <para>If you want to do this without harming your mouse nor turntable, the
+ method suggested by the terminatorX logo should be feasible. Optical input
+ devices are known to produce best results in such a scenario. For those
+ interested here's a
+ <link ref='oldtable.html'>document</link> on how I turned my old turntable
+ into a terminatorX device.</para>
+ <para>Luckily a lot of terminatorX users have built their own turntables
+ and I'm really happy to present some of these creations below. Please, if
+ <italic>your</italic>turntable is missing
+ <link ref='mailto:alex@lisas.de'>send</link> me some pictures of it so I can
+ add them here.
+ <bold>Thanks</bold>to all contributors!</para>
