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.

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)

Guitarix 0.28.0 released

by Andreas Degert

The Guitarix developers proudly present Guitarix release 0.28.0 "magic chainsaw trick" *) Yes, we took a chainsaw, cut through the chest of Guitarix, and... it's still alive. But now it's also 2 pieces. You can start it (headless) on an embedded ARM system. You can start it on your laptop and connect the user interface the the headless instance. You can even tap on your smartphone and control Guitarix with the web browser (or just use the tuner). For the uninitiated, Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for jack, with effect modules and an additional stereo effect chain. Please refer to our project page for more information: http://guitarix.sourceforge.net/ Download Site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/ Forum: http://guitarix.sourceforge.net/forum/ Embedded Guitarix Prototype: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/guitarix/index.php?title=Guitarix_Emb… Please consider visiting our forum or leaving a message on guitarix-developer(a)lists.sourceforge.net if you plan to work with embedded Guitarix. List of changes: * new french translation contributed by Bajo * new MultiBandCompressor contributed by kokoko3k * new include BestPlugins IR-Packs I-III by David Fau Casquel * new DigitalDelay Effect module * the Guitarix LV2 plugins are now in the default build (but you can configure the build with --no-lv2) * Optimizations for embedded systems / ARM processors with NEON * --faust-vectorize-float, --convolver-ffmpeg * Guitarix headless mode for embedded systems (no X11 / user Interface) * network socket based service for controlling / connecting a user interface * service announcement via Avahi, if available * command line options --rpchost, --rpcport, --nogui * the service can be started in addition to the "local" user interface * Guitarix can now be used as a user interface connecting to a remote instance * no configuration needed if Avahi is available * command line options --onlygui, --rpchost, --rpcport * multiple user interface clients can be started (the displays keep synchronized) * Browser-based user interface (javascript code) * cross platform * usable on small devices like smartphones, and in conjunction with an embedded device * some features still missing (no MIDI controller connections, no presets for single effect units, no polished appearance) * small additional server needed (included), to translate between the socket based interface and WebSockets, which is what (modern) browsers understand * only recent browsers supported, testers needed * released in a separate tarfile *) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPTHdwqG9rw

ANN: ng-jackspa version 1.0: simple LADSPA hosts for JACK

by G.raud

Hello, I have just made the first release of ng-jackspa, a set of simple user interfaces hosting a single LADSPA plugin; they provide JACK audio ports for the plugin audio ports, and dynamic (interactive) setting of its control ports. Additionally, the plugin controls can be exported to or controlled by control voltages on standard JACK audio ports. The interfaces provided are: * njackspa: an ncurses visual terminal interface; * gjackspa: a GTK+ graphical interface; * qjackspa: a Qt 4 graphical interface; * jackspa-cli: a stark command line interface. A unique feature of ng-jackspa is the possibility of setting arbitrary bounds for the UI controls (as is consistent with the LADSPA spec), so that for example the plugin amp_mono can be set to have a gain above 1. To my knowledge, ng-jackspa provides the only curses-like LADSPA host, as well as the only bare command line one (ecasound being regarded as overcomplex for hosting a single plugin). I wrote ng-jackspa because I wanted a terminal only host like njackspa, because I like small programs and because njackspa allows one to control an instance of a plugin interactively from any network host without resorting to neworked MIDI, as is outlined in the manual page examples. For a complete description, see the online manual page at <http://home.gna.org/ngjackspa/ng-jackspa.1.html>. ng-jackspa was started as a fork of jackspa <http://code.google.com/p/jackspa/>.
