Description: Circuit simulation is a way of building and testing virtual models of electronic devices. It is usually cheaper and quicker to simulate a design than to build a prototype. MacSpice, like most circuit simulators, requires a text-file description of the circuit as input. This 'netlist' is a list of components and the nodes they connect to. Users may prepare netlists with a text editor, or derive them from a circuit diagram using a third-party schematic-capture application. MacSpice then builds a numerical model of the circuit and analyses this.A command interpreter (shell) is used to specify the types of analyses that are required and how the results should be processed, saved or displayed. The high quality of the MacSpice command interpreter makes the automation of tasks straightforward.MacSpice has native support for both PowerPC and Intel architecture Apple Macintosh computers. It is derived from, and compatible with, Berkeley Spice 3f5. MacSpice incorporates many improvements to Spice 3f5 - from simple ...

Description: AudioRack is an open-source radio broadcast automation and live assist system for Mac OS X computers. The system is composed of three major components:1. arserver - faceless (daemon) eight bus audio server2. AudioRack - User interface3. database server (MySQL 4.x supported)Optionally, audio files can reside on a separate file server, making a fourth component.arserver/AudioRack support eight players which can play any QuickTime supported audio file format or play through from an audio input device. The system also supports a single "playlist" which when automation is enabled, is kept filled with either singly scheduled items (inserts) or items from the most recently scheduled playlist rotation. The playlist will automatically load/unload/play the eight players as if a DJ were operating CD players. This is accomplished through arserver accessing the database server where schedule, rotation and item information is stored along with a logging/history algorithm for picking items. The system also can perform shoutcast stream encoding and mp3, wave or aiff file recording from any of it's output busses or from an input device. Recordings can be set up to start and finish at a specific time as well. Shoutcast streams are automatically updated with the metadata info from the currently playing item. arserver also supports midi machine control for start/stop/skip-back/skip-ahead controls on it's input device players. And a 15 second broadcast delay in included too. For cueing/control room muting, the system supports up to three mute busses and a cue mute bus. arserver was written in c/c++, and the source code is included.
