LMS Plugins ~ Extend Logitech Media Server
LMS is an open source multi-room audio system. It was created by SlimDevices and then acquired by Logitech. Although Logitech has ended development of hardware devices, the project is still very active with lots of plugin released regularly. New hardware players can be added using PI devices and DAC boards to build high-quality multi-room systems.
I’ve created some extra plugins, especially to include new standard hardware / players to the LMS ecosystem: UPnP/DLNA (Sonos), ChromeCast and AirPlay.

Polymeter ~ Compose Polymeter Based Music
Polymeter is a MIDI sequencer for music that’s in multiple prime meters (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc.) simultaneously. Each track has its own loop length, and when the lengths differ, the tracks “slip” (or shift phase) relative to each other. The resulting interference pattern is sufficiently intricate that variations similar to the embellishments of a live performer can be generated algorithmically.
Features:
- Multitrack step sequencer for polymeter
- Each track has its own loop length
- Any number of tracks, of any length
- Full clipboard support (copy/cut/paste)
- Unlimited undo and redo for all edits
- Multiple tracks can be edited at once
- Optionally shows current position within each track
- Drag reordering of tracks
- Exports a MIDI file
- Join adjacent steps to make tied notes
- Velocity editing
- Controller tracks
- Recording of live arrangement
- Editing of arrangement on timeline
- Inter-track modulation of mute, note, velocity, duration, position, and more
- Live performance view with full screen mode
- Recursive modulation (modulation of modulation) for mute and position
- Modulation graphing via Graphviz
- MIDI mapping of all parameters with learn mode
- Optionally transmits MIDI clock

TspCheck ~ Loudspeaker Thiele / Small Paramaters
As the program name suggests, TspCheck is a program that checks whether the determined or specified TS parameters of a loudspeaker match. Often you can then find out, for example, that the efficiency has been rounded up a bit too benevolently, or you can estimate the membrane mass, the resilience of the restraint, etc. by cleverly combining the information available.
In addition, the following is determined:
- Max. Lin. SPL @ 50 Hz in CB – the maximum sound pressure that can be achieved in a closed housing at 50 Hz using the maximum linear stroke
- SPL_m = SPL_e – the frequency from which the maximum achievable sound pressure at full input power is stroke limited.
