With many many bugfix and improvement patches from Albert Graef, it's time for a new release! We absolutely recommend updating to take advantage of the new features. Notable improvements include: -OSC messages can now "remember" variable values when an incoming MIDI message only contains part of the data (i.e.converting 2 different CCs to an OSC message for an XY controller) -MIDI values are now limited if they attempt to exceed max or below min -better handling of "exotic" types like 'm' -more consistent printing formatting in verbose mode -better feedback on parse errors in mapping files -inclusion of maps for all the default interfaces of touchOSC -project move to github -sundry bugfixes Please download and give it a try: https://github.com/ssj71/OSC2MIDI/releases (note the link has changed since last release) Enjoy! _Spencer Jackson

[LAA] [ANN] Radium 3.1.3

by Kjetil Matheussen

Radium is a music editor with a new type of interface. It's inspired by trackers, but uses graphics to show musical data. Most important changes between 3.0 and 3.1.3: * Many stability issues fixed * Fixed automation * Pianoroll * Option to record MIDI line by line and monophonic in the MIDI menu. (as before) * Add options to multiply the number of lines to scroll by the "Edit lines" value * MIDI: Option to always record velocity * A new sound object called "Midi Messages" which can be used to send MIDI messages to other sound objects. Can for instance be used to send pitch bend changes to VST plugins. * Option to show line numbers instead of bars/beats * Sort notes by pitch for same-positioned notes. * VST: Fix for plugins using "main" instead of "VSTPluginMain".

[LAA] [ANN] setBfree v0.8

by Robin Gareus

G'day. setBfree is a MIDI-controlled, software synthesizer designed to imitate the sound and properties of the electromechanical organs and sound modification devices that brought world-wide fame to the names and products of Laurens Hammond and Don Leslie. http://setbfree.org https://github.com/pantherb/setBfree It's been over 18 months since the last release and setBfree just reached another major milestone: It now features a proper GUI that allows to configure various aspects that have previously only been accessible via text config files (the config and program file-format itself has not changed). The GUI is available as LV2 and standalone jack application and the old tcl/tk prototype UI was removed for good. visit https://vimeo.com/130633814 for a demo. The 2nd big change was reworking the Leslie: The horn now spins counter-clockwise (same as the real thing) and we finally managed to track down the aliasing noise that was audible during acceleration and deceleration. Since various users play guitar and some even cello through it, an animated LV2 GUI was added for the whirl-speaker emulation and it has also been made available as standalone jack client. Advanced settings such as microphone angle, position, horn radius, etc are now also exposed (both for the organ as well as the LV2). The UI looks like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pantherb/setBfree/master/doc/b_whirl.png Other notable changes include new addition of presets for Kurzweil and Korg CX3 and updates to portability (ARM-CPU/RPi, Windows + OSX versions). The full list of over 300 changes since 0.7.5 is available as git log. Binaries for Intel platform, GNU/Linux, OSX and Windows are available from https://github.com/pantherb/setBfree/releases/latest though for Linux most distros will pick this up as usual. Many thanks to Axel 'the C.L.A.' Müller and Jean-Luc Nest who provided valuable feedback and inspiring music during the development cycle. happy playing, robin + will

[LAA] Wanted before July: Ambisonics art works for Auditory Virtual Environments ...

by Winfried Ritsch

Ambisonics has a strong community using Linux, therefore I ask the community herein for art works: "Pure Ambisonics" == "Ambisonics as an art form" is the hypotheses We are searching for different works, which need not be recent ones, also historic ones are of interest. Preferring higher order 3D, we take any order 3D or 2D as long it represents a wave-field as a spatial audio work ready for concert. To test this thesis a concert is scheduled: - PURE Ambisonics Concert & the Night of Ambisonics - September 18th at ICSA 2015 in Graz Preferring the AmbiX format, we also take other formats as long the description has enough information to convert them to this domain. More INFO on the CALL: http://ambisonics.iem.at/icsa2015/pure-ambisonics-concert mfG winfried -- --- Ritsch, Winfried, Ao.Univ.Prof. Dipl.-Ing.

[LAA] latest Yoshimi developments

by Will Godfrey

V 1.3.5-rc I don't usually post here about release candidates, but there have been a lot of changes since V 1.3.4 Some, like vector control were demomstrated to a handful of people at LAC 2015, others are a direct response to suggestions there, and there is a roadmap we're following too. Before making a full release I'd very much like comments. What you like, what you don't and what's just 'meh'. So please grab the current snapshot. In brief: User interface Visual identification of use of any/all three synth engines Part number and name added to all editing window title bars Also voice number to AddSynth oscillator editor Scroll wheel control of all rotary knobs +Ctrl for very fine control Horizontal as well as vertical drag of rotary knobs Revised some layouts and removed redundant controls and refreshes System On demand jack port creation for part outputs NRPNs inc 14bit & increment/decrement Also Zyn compatible ones (with some extensions) 16, 32 or 64 semi-independent parts Vector control Direct part control Miscellany The 'docs' directory now gets installed, although still scrappy text files There is a new historical branch (currently with versions 0.010 to 0.038) Yoshimi is now mirrored https://github.com/abrolag/yoshimi Of course the original is still http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
