The first unified LV2 release, LV2 1.0.0, is out. This release merges the previous lv2core package with all the official extension packages, as well as example plugins, lv2specgen, and additional data. From a developer point of view, the biggest change is that all LV2 API headers can be used by simply checking for the single pkg-config package "lv2" (for compatibility the previous "lv2core" package is still installed). Implementations are encouraged to abandon the "copy paste headers" practice and depend on this package instead. With this release, several new extensions have become stable that together greatly increase the power of LV2: atom, log, parameters, patch, port-groups, port-props, resize-port, state, time, worker. Download: http://lv2plug.in/spec/lv2-1.0.0.tar.bz2 Documentation and more detailed change logs: http://lv2plug.in/ns/ More information about LV2: http://lv2plug.in/ Enjoy, -dr

QMidiArp-0.5.2 released

by Frank Kober

Hi, QMidiArp 0.5.2 has just seen the light of the day. It brings mainly two improvements. One is a comeback, that of tempo changes on the fly, and that now includes also tempo changes of a potential Jack Transport master. Also the Jack Transport starting position is finally taken into account, so that QMidiArp should be in sync also when starting the transport master not at zero. The second one is Non Session Manager support, mainly thanks to the work done by Roy Vegard Ovesen! Note that for compiling in NSM support you will now need liblo as dependency. Enjoy, and enjoy LAC in Graz this year Frank ________________________________ QMidiArp is an advanced MIDI arpeggiator, programmable step sequencer and LFO. Everything is on http://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net qmidiarp-0.5.2 (2013-05-09) New Features o Tempo changes are again possible while running, both manually or by a Jack Transport Master o Jack Transport position is now taken into account when starting, QMidiArp used to start always at zero o Muting and sequencer parameter changes can be deferred to pattern end using a new toolbutton o Modules in the Global Storage window have mute/defer buttons o Global Storage location switches can be set to affect only the pattern o Non Session Manager support with "switch" capability (thanks to Roy Vegard Ovesen) General Changes o NSM support requires liblo development headers (liblo-dev package)

Fedora Jam 20 Heisenbug released

by Brendan Jones

Seasons greetings all! Just a quick announcement to any that didn't know, the Fedora Jam spin has been released alongside Fedora 20. In Linux audio terms, there's not too many surprises here. We have simply tried to keep all of our packages up to date with upstream. Notable additions/updates: Ardour 3 replaces Ardour2 (on the media only: Ardour 2.x is still available in the repos), the new x42 plugins from Robin Gareus, Harry's Open Av plugin suite and we've also added Mup music notation. The repositories also contain the awesome new guitarix plugins, definitely worth checking out. We have tried to ship the latest release of everything, however there have been a few upstream releases that have occurred post publication freeze, so expect a number of updates in the next few weeks. For a synopsis of all included packages you can click here [1], and you can grab an ISO from here [2] PlanetCCRMA has also been updated in record time, so go here [3] to add your RT kernel, linuxsampler, supercollider, puredata and others not included on the spin. Want to help us make the spin better or just have questions/want to chat about the spin? Join our mailing list here [4] or jump on irc #fedora-audio Happy new year all!

aubio 0.4.0

by Paul Brossier

Hi all, I am pleased to announce that a new version of aubio, 0.4.0, has been released. aubio is a library of functions to perform audio feature extractions such as: - note onset detection - pitch detection - beat tracking - MFCC computation - spectral descriptors The core library, written in C, focuses on speed and portability. It is known to run on most modern operating systems, including Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Android, and iOS. A new python module, rewritten from scratch, gives access to the features of aubio's core library from within Python. Tightly integrated with Python NumPy, the aubio python module provides an efficient way to extract features from audio streams as well as to design new algorithms. To find out more about aubio and this release: Project homepage: http://aubio.org/ Post announcing aubio 0.4.0: http://aubio.org/news/20131217-1900_aubio_0.4.0 ChangeLog for aubio 0.4.0: http://aubio.org/pub/aubio-0.4.0.changelog Source tarball, signature and digests: http://aubio.org/pub/aubio-0.4.0.tar.bz2 http://aubio.org/pub/aubio-0.4.0.tar.bz2.asc http://aubio.org/pub/aubio-0.4.0.tar.bz2.md5 http://aubio.org/pub/aubio-0.4.0.tar.bz2.sha1 API Documentation: http://aubio.org/doc/latest/ Merry hacking!

FSTHost 1.5.3

by Pawel

Hello, Please find new release of FSTHost. https://sourceforge.net/projects/fsthost/ Please note that since now there is simple app "FSTHost Menu" shipped with fsthost. It cover some functionality with FeSTige and has to fullfill a similar role. New release of FSTHost contain: - Support for GTK3 ( GTK2 is still supported ) - Propose path of file opened at start as default while save state - fsthost menu - perl version with GTK2/GTK3 support ( and with tray/status icon ;-) - aggregator - app for merge all fsthost windows into one ( not installed by default ) - use wine ( win32 ) code when moving window ( instead of X tricks ) - disable support for bbt_offset , because seems that some VST plugins does not like fractal values in barStartPos - do not zeroize outputs by default ( -z option ) - XML DB - use shared file for 32/64 versions ( ~/.fsthost.xml ) - Scan all dirs in VST_PATH recursively when building XML DB ( -g option ) - Allow build 32 and 64 version independently - a lot of code refactoring - .... and a lot of other changes Best Regards Xj
