Minicello has been kind to point out that the links for two of the older versions of Jamoma installers for Windows are broken. This is now fixed.
And while at it: We would very much like to have development of Jamoma for Windows up and running again. If you have some knowledge and experience with C++ development for Windows and some spare time, you are more than welcome to join the development team!
Jamoma 0.5.7 released
Posted February 14, 2013 by Trond Lossius
We are happy to announce the release of Jamoma 0.5.7 for Mac. Please visit the Jamoma download page to grab a copy of the installer.
A lot of work has been done over the last year in order to implement new features and fix various issues. We believe this to be a mature release, and it has been used extensively for a number of artistic projects as well as in research. Among many important improvements in this version we would like to highlight:
- The issue of interdependencies of frameworks between Jamoma and TapTools has been resolved once and for all. If you also use TapTools, be sure to install the latest beta. From there on Jamoma and TapTools should be able to happily co-exist, without future updates to one of them also requiring the other to be updated.
- Several issues have been addressed relating to AudioGraph, the multi-channel audio solution used for all of the spatialisation modules, improving stability and performance.
- Full support for dataspaces has been implemented. This means that e.g. gain levels in modules can now be specified as MIDI, linear or decibel values.
- The Jamoma web site has been overhauled. We now have a growing number of tutorials on how to use Jamoma. If you have questions or suggestions, we encourage you to make use of the new possibilities for commenting on tutorials and blog posts.
- We’ve done extended work on implementing systematic unit and integration testing. We believe this to have a major impact on the stability and reliability of Jamoma.
If you experience any problems with this installer, please report, either in the comment field for this post, or via the forums and mailing lists.
Unfortunately we still have no recent Windows installer. We hope to be able to remedy this over the comming year, and we are grateful for recent donations towards Jamoma. Part of the donations have been used towards a Windows 8 installer. Still, if you have experience with compiling for Windows and would like to contribute towards the development of Jamoma, we would very much appreciate your assistance.
Currently we are fortunate to see funding for Jamoma development that help propagate further development. BEK receives funding from the County Council of Hordaland for development of Jamoma 2012-2014, and GMEA is heading the 3-year industrial research project OSSIA (Open Scenario System for Interactive Application). And finally Nathan Wolek from Stetson University visited BEK as a Fulbright Scholar in the fall 2012, making good progress porting Granular Toolkit to Jamoma. So stay tuned, we’re likely to see lots of exciting Jamoma development over the next few years!
New Mac and PC release

New beta release : Jamoma Modular 0.5.3b is out
A new version of Jamoma was just uploaded. Alongside with the usual optimizations, bug fixes and all, Jamoma 0.5.3 brings some great news: for the first time in a year, Jamoma installer is available both on Mac and Windows!
If you did follow the recent activities on the forum or on Github, something has certainly not escaped of your attention: a lot of work has been put on the Windows version of Jamoma. Indeed, Adrian Gierakowski that we mentioned here before spent a lot of time working on the Windows versions of the frameworks and externals and fixing the installer amongst other things. Without a doubt, Adrian deserve a huge “thank you” for all the work he is doing!
No matter how nice this news is, just like with any beta version, this one comes with a grain of salt. At the time of this writing, the following externals are known to crash under Windows:
- jcom.fft≈
- jcom.dac≈
- jcom.adc≈
- jcom.split≈
- jcom.graphics
Also worth noting that jcom.net.receive and jcom.net.send are currently broken.
It may take some time before these problems are fixed but we hope it will not last for long. If you want to give a hand at working on this, you are more than welcome to join the Jamoma community of developers.
In any case, be sure to head over the download page and grab the installer:
- For Mac: Jamoma-0.5.3-b2.dmg
- For Windows: Jamoma-0.5.3-b1.zip
