MiXViews version 1.06 is now available as source code, and will be made
available as binaries for m68k NeXT, Sun Sparc, and SGI IRIX5 by the end of
the week. Version 1.06 can be run on Linux machines, and has full sound card
support. A precompiled Linux binary will also be made available within a week.
The source is available as:
ftp.ccmrc.ucsb.edu:pub/MixViews/source/mxv-v1.06-source.tar.gz
Please read the README file in the source directory too!
MiXViews, or mxv for short, is a graphics-interface sound and data editor and
processor which runs under the X window system. It facilitates all standard
forms of digital signal editing plus a large variety of filtering, shaping,
analysis, and resynthesis tools. Sounds may be recorded and played back,
copied, cut and pasted, spliced, mixed, etc.
Here is an excerpt from the README file:
New features in MXV v. 1.06
1) The following sound formats can now be read and written: IRCAM, SND/AU,
Hybrid (CMIX), AIF-C, WAVE, and raw (headerless).
2) Sample format may now be 8 or 16 bit linear and well as float and mulaw.
3) Skip and duration times for files to be read may now be specified either on
the command line or in the Open panel.
4) Arbitrary byte inskip may be specified for raw file reads.
5) LittleEndian files (e.g., .WAV) can be read on bigendian systems.
6) Phase vocoder resynthesis is now available.
7) Automatic rescaling is done when pasting between incompatible data types.
8) Dialog panels can be set to ignore the Window Manager (this keeps them from
accidentally being iconified or hidden while popped up).
9) A rudimentary form of SMPTE frame display is now an option for the
horizontal scales.
