Suil 0.6.0 is out. Suil is a lightweight C library for loading and wrapping LV2 plugin UIs. Suil transparently presents UIs written in any toolkit as the desired widget type of host programs, so hosts do not have to depend on foreign toolkits. The biggest change with this release is support for wrapping X11 UIs, which can be used to implement a UI in just about any toolkit or graphics API on X11 based systems. Changes: * Use path variables in pkgconfig files * Add support for embedding X11 UIs (ui:X11UI) * Support new LV2 UI features automatically if provided by host Download: http://download.drobilla.net/suil-0.6.0.tar.bz2 More information about Suil: http://drobilla.net/software/suil Enjoy, -dr

Guitarix release 0.22.0

by Andreas Degert

After two beta releases, we are proud to announce the final release "drag-on-fly" guitarix2-0.22.0. Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for jack, with effect modules and an additional stereo effect chain. Download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/ You can find some screenshots and explanations of the new version in https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/guitarix/index.php?title=EnhancedUI Things that changed since the beta2 release: * many small fixes and enhancements * compile fixes for several environments * convolver unit * fixed crash * presets like for other rack units (instead of the old "favourites") * for beta users: parameter scaling for Vibe unit changed. if you stored a preset with Vibe settings you'll have to adjust the values (sorry). * if you see corrupted graphics in screen animations: it is probably a video driver bug. You can try to set Option "EXAPixmaps" "off" at the end of the device section in xorg.conf (location depending on system, e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ati.conf). Announcement text from the beta releases: Many things changed in the user interface. You can move rack units by drag and drop (reflecting the signal flow), store individual settings for each rack unit and use preset banks with several settings for the whole rack. It's easy to take our "factory presets" and make your own customized bank, or make your own from scratch and share it on the Guitarix forum. There is a new "live play mode" with only the info you need on stage (it's fullscreen, no other penguins around), and a preset picking mode with a foot switch (midi or usb, or if you don't have one even the space bar of your keyboard) and the strings of your guitar to switch settings. Rack units are now put into categories, and two new ones are a noise gate for high noise levels and a univibe emulation. Thanks go to the developer of abGate and the nice guys from Rakarrack who helped porting their univibe code and made the inclusion of it possible. This is already too long, please check it out and give feedback if you find a problem, this version is still beta. Please refer to our project page for more information: http://guitarix.sourceforge.net/ download site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/ please report bugs and suggestions in our forum: http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/guitarix/ here you can find a couple of examples produced by guitarix users: http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/guitarix/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=83 have fun _________________________________________________________________________ For extra Impulse Responses, guitarix uses the zita-convolver library, and, for resampling we use zita-resampler, both written by Fons Adriaensen. http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/index.html We use the marvellous faust compiler to build the amp and most effects and will say thanks to : Julius Smith http://ccrma.stanford.edu/realsimple/faust/ : Albert Graef http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/examples.html#Faust : Yann Orlary http://faust.grame.fr/ ________________________________________________________________________ guitarix development team

Mixer 4 v 1.01

by grekimj＠acousticrefuge.com

BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; }Mixer4, the new text input audio mixer has been updated. The latest version contains a couple of eq bug fixes, and lots of work on a recursive reverb algorithm. The user can choose the position of the listener in the room. An RMS sensing compressor has been added to complement the peak sensing one. Also, command line entry of source files is possible and makes submixing doable through a script. Both 32 and 64 bit versions are available in the same small download. A quick start pdf and manual are available, but please feel welcome to email me for additional help.

Laborejo Release 0.2 Announcement

by Nils

Exactly one month after the first release, here is Laborejo 0.2! Laborejo, Esperanto for "Workshop", is used to craft music through notation. It is a Lilypond GUI frontend, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection to inspire and help you compose. It works by reducing music-redundancy and by seperating layout and data. The next release is scheduled for May, 8th. One month from now. Before you read the details make sure to connect to Laborejos Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus! https://www.facebook.com/Laborejo https://twitter.com/#!/Laborejo https://plus.google.com/b/116744898976321238325/ Screenshot (Laborejo and Lilypond, side by side): http://www.laborejo.org/images/screenshots/latestscreenshot.png This is the release of version 0.2 Download: https://github.com/nilsgey/Laborejo/tarball/0.2 Dependencies: http://www.laborejo.org/documentation Linux Instructions: Unpack, cd into the created directoy, execute: ./laborejo-qt.sh Then use the number- and cursor keys for immediate success! Check Help->Manual for navigational and note/rest entry keys. Everything else is in the menus. New since version 0.1: - Repeats, Alternate Ends and Jumps in various forms. The main Feature for this release. - Playback Trigger ("Only reduce volume in the second repeat" or "Mute track if python weather module reports rain") - Master Track (Merges with every other Track. Use to structure your piece, make global changes, change tempo etc.) - Various Commands like "Join Selection to Chord" and "Add Octave to Chord/Selection" - The usual bread&butter bugfixing and improving. Most important known problems: * This is Alpha Grade Software. Don't use for long-term work. However, the produced midis and PDFs will last forever. * There is no built-in jack midi output yet. You have to export midi files. * Documentation is nearly non-existent. Have fun, it would be nice to hear from you! Nils http://www.laborejo.org

Announcing synthclone-0.2.0! Now in beta!

by Devin Anderson

I'm happy to announce the first beta release of `synthclone`! `synthclone` is a Qt-based application that can "clone" your MIDI-capable instruments. It does this by sending out MIDI data that instructs an instrument to emit sounds for a series of notes, velocities, controls, and aftertouch values. It then saves this data as a sample-based instrument that can be loaded by sampler software. Features: * Supports user-configurable per-zone sample time, release time, MIDI note, MIDI velocity, MIDI aftertouch, MIDI channel pressure, MIDI control changes, etc. via a table interface. * Audition samples and change zone parameters until you're happy with the data you're acquiring from your MIDI device/software. * Save and restore sessions. * Distributed with plugins that support the JACK Audio Connection Kit (with JACK Session support), PortAudio and PortMidi, trimming of samples, the creation of patches for Hydrogen and SFZ, and automated zone generation. * Can create multiple targets in one session (i.e. a Hydrogen patch and an SFZ patch) from the same set of samples. * A well-documented plugin API is available for developers to write their own plugins to extend synthclone. Important Changes Since 0.1.0: * Lots of bug fixes. * Added a "portable" semaphore implementation to the plugin API. * Added the new PortMedia plugin, which supports sampling via PortAudio and PortMidi. * Get `synthclone` to compile on Mac OSX. * Change build system to use traditional `./configure`, `make`, `make install` scheme. * Add new 'debian' target for building Debian packages (`./configure --prefix=/usr`, `make debian`). Future Development: * Figure out a good packaging scheme for Mac OSX. * Support the Non-Session Manager protocol. * Write a plugin that creates Renoise instruments. * Write a plugin that loads LADSPA effects. * Write a plugin that loads LV2 effects. * Write a plugin that loads samples from the filesystem (expanding on the plugin created in this tutorial: http://code.google.com/p/synthclone/wiki/TutorialWritingASimplePluginPart1) * Consider different ways to support the detection and/or creation of loops. The new version of `synthclone` is available at: http://synthclone.googlecode.com/ Please report bugs using the issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/synthclone/issues/list If you like `synthclone` and have ideas that can make it better and/or want to keep up with its progress, join the users group: http://groups.google.com/group/synthclone-users If you're a developer and want to write plugins for `synthclone` or contribute to the application itself, join the development group: http://groups.google.com/group/synthclone-development Thanks, and hope to meet some of you next week at the Linux Audio Conference. -- Devin Anderson surfacepatterns (at) gmail (dot) com blog - http://surfacepatterns.blogspot.com/ synthclone - http://synthclone.googlecode.com/
