Yoshimi 1.5.0 is out there now.

by Will Godfrey

V 1.5.0 - The Robin Vector control now has its own dedicated button on the main window. Any attempt to set an invalid bank root will be ignored. The same was already true for banks themselves. Also, on first time startup, discovered roots will be given ID numbers starting from 5 and in steps of 5. If working from the command line, listing roots and banks will identify the current ones with a '*'. Channel switching has now matured to a 'Solo' feature accessed from the mixer panel. Another new feature is one that has been asked for several times - a crossfade for overlapping note ranges in instrument kits. Filter tracking could never quite reach 100% so if using it to get 'notes' from noise it would go slightly out of tune. Well, now we have an extra check box that changes its range so that instead of -100% to 98.4% it will track 0% to 198.4% Many of the controls now have active tooltips that show the current value when you hover over them. Also, many have real-world terms. dB, Hz, mS etc. Finally, we have very full featured MIDI learn capability. It can be reached from the 'Yoshimi' drop-down menu, and tooltips will remind you of how it is used. To build yoshimi fetch the tarball from either: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi Or: https://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi Our user list archive is at: https://www.freelists.org/archive/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.

The Open Source Musician Ep. 82 - Tunestorm 16 Reveal and Throwing Down the Open Amp Sim Gauntlet

by Spencer Jackson

https://archive.org/details/OSMP82 The Nocember episode was just uploaded for your enjoyment. This month I play the entry for Tunestorm 16 and demonstrate a few of the open source guitar plugins available. Then the gauntlet is thrown down as I issue the Open Amplifier Challenge (aka Tunestorm 17)! For this next round of uncompetition you must use some of the open source amp sim programs/plugins to try to demonstrate great open source tone. If you don't play guitar and don't want to use guitar samples, I'll happily accept synths run through guitarix or similar. But largely I'd like to hear what great guitar tones can be made with pure open source software. The due date will be Feb 13, which should give acceptable time after the holidays and allow you to not miss your valentines date too. Questions and comments welcome, as always. p.s. some noticed the high freq. buzzing last episode, I've established it is my audio interface. Hopefully you'll find this month's recording a bit better. More work on my mic technique would help too (SNR). Enjoy! _Spencer
