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)

ANN: pd-l2ork v.20130920 released

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

As usual, apologies for x-posting... It is my pleasure to announce the latest release of pd-l2ork free open-source visual programming language for interactive media, and supporting K12 educational module for the 32-bit and 64-bit Linux, as well as Raspberry Pi (Arm) platforms. pd-l2ork is the infrastructural backbone of Virginia Tech DISIS Linux Laptop Orchestra (http://l2ork.music.vt.edu). Highlights include: *Ported all vanilla GUI objects and events to cairo-based SVG-like tkpath canvas providing antialiased drawing capabilities, bezier patch cords, and setting stage for a zoomable canvas *Implemented a new scrollbar system using semi-transparent objects right on the canvas *Implemented filtering of autorepeat keyboard events for key, keyup, keyname objects *Expanded K12 library with numerous improvements and added a couple demo files *Backported resizable objects and recent files *Implemented native drag-n-drop *Improved GUI appearance *Began porting 3rd party objects to new cairo-based canvas (non-accelerated 3rd-party objects can be recognized by having a blue selection box and their considerably slower redraw) *Cleaned-up extended pddp documentation and added comprehensive cyclone documentation *Began filtering (disabling) building of redundant externals within the cyclone and other 3rd-party libraries *Proper visual reordering without the potentially cpu-expensive canvas_redraw for all accelerated objects (non-accelerated 3rd-party objects can be recognized by having a blue selection box and their considerably slower redraw) *Disabled drawing of redundant nlets for objects embedded inside a GOP object (for Max users, equivalent to a bpatcher) *Embedded tkdnd and tkpath libs directly into source for a monolithic build; made several improvements to the tkpath lib fork *Many other minor bugfixes and improvements (see Changelog for more info) A screenshot of the K12 module is attached. Alternatively, it can be found at: http://puredata.info/downloads/Pd-L2Ork/releases/20130920/screenshot/image_… Complete Changelog: http://puredata.info/downloads/Pd-L2Ork/releases/20130920/ Download Links: Binary Builds & Documentation: http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56 Source: http:///github.com/pd-l2ork/ Best wishes, -- Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A Composition, Music Technology Director, DISIS Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio Director, L2Ork Linux Laptop Orchestra Head, ICAT IMPACT Studio Virginia Tech Department of Music Blacksburg, VA 24061-0240 (540) 231-6139 (540) 231-5034 (fax) disis.music.vt.edu l2ork.music.vt.edu ico.bukvic.net
