[linux-audio-announce] ANNOUNCE: Rosegarden 1.4.0 released

by Chris Cannam

ROSEGARDEN 1.4.0 RELEASED The Rosegarden team are delighted to announce the release of version 1.4.0 of Rosegarden, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor for Linux. http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ This is a particularly exciting release for the Rosegarden project. It includes a number of interesting new features, many of which we expect to build upon further in future releases. It also contains significant code contributions from a greater number of people than any previous Rosegarden release, including D. Michael McIntyre, Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas, Heikki Junes, Stephen Torri, Magnus Johansson, Vince Negri and Martin Shepherd as well as Chris Cannam, Guillaume Laurent, and a number of active translators. Significant new features include: * You can now record to multiple MIDI tracks at once from different devices and/or channels. * There is a new track parameter box which can be used to select the playback instrument for a track, recording filters, and the default parameters for new segments created on that track. * You can now create tracks identified with particular real-world performance instruments, so that new segments subsequently created on those tracks inherit the right clef, transposition and note range for each instrument (notes outside that range are displayed in a different colour in the notation editor). A database of around 300 instruments is included, courtesy of Erik Magnus Johansson of Eolin KB (http://www.kandav.com/eolin/). * The composition no longer has a fixed duration. In previous releases it was necessary to adjust the composition duration manually in order to record or create segments longer than the default duration. As of this release, the composition extends itself as you record or drag out new segments. * If you add a key change across multiple segments that differ in performance transposition, you can now choose to have the key transposed automatically for each segment. * You can now enter special directives in the notation editor that will be interpreted when creating LilyPond output, to achieve effects that are possible in LilyPond but not yet supported in Rosegarden (glissandi, arpeggios, segno/coda etc). * Soprano clef has been added. * Lilypond export now supports LilyPond 2.8 and has a new feature to merge multiple staffs as voices into one LilyPond staff, a new option to group staffs with a system bracket, as well as a huge number of bug fixes and performance improvements, which have tremendously improved the reliability and usefulness of the export engine. * You can choose to display the parameter boxes in a tabbed layout as an alternative to the default vertical stack. In the tabbed layout you can display a much greater number of MIDI controllers than was previously possible. * You can now cut, copy and paste "ranges" within a composition (cross-sections of all segments and tempo and time signature changes between two given end points in time). * There are new functions to split selected segments at an arbitrary time, and to split segments according to the MIDI device used to record them (which can be applied retrospectively to recordings made with Rosegarden 1.0 and newer). * The facilities for adding and editing markers (labelled positions in time) and setting loop ranges have been improved in a number of ways. * Tempos can now be "ramped" (smoothly changing from an initial to a final tempo over a period of time). * The tempo ruler has been overhauled and now permits in-place editing of the tempo map with the mouse (with undo and redo, of course). * You can finally zoom in and out of editing views using the mouse wheel (with Ctrl pressed). * The Panic function is now accessible from all transport toolbars. * When step-recording notes from a MIDI device, you can now enter chords simply by playing overlapping notes. * Rosegarden can now respond to MIDI Start, Stop and Continue system messages (as well as MMC/MTC), and send MMC Locate messages (as well as Play and Stop). For more information about Rosegarden and what it can do for you, please see http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ Rosegarden is Free Software under the GNU General Public License. Chris

[linux-audio-announce] Rivendell v0.9.74

by Fred Gleason

On behalf of the Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the immediate release of Rivendell v0.9.74. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** This is a bugfix version of Rivendell. Issues addressed include the following: Security Vulnerability -- Allowed users to execute commands with the Run Shell Command macro with permissions of the user running the ripcd(8) daemon (normally 'root'). Timescaling Playouts -- Fixed a bug that was causing timescaled events to terminate prematurely under certain circumstances. Log Error Checking -- Fixed issues that were preventing changes in a cart's status in RDLibrary from being properly reflected in an already-loaded RDAirPlay log. JACK/ALSA Playout Optimization -- Increased the size of the audio ringbuffer for JACK and ALSA drivers. See the ChangeLog for further details. Library Versions: This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.2 and librhpi-0.94.7 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing: rpm -q libradio rpm -q librhpi Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 120, and will automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo. As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Further information, screenshots and download links are available at: http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
