We're proud to announce the immediate availability of DrumGizmo version 0.9.10! DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup. This is a bugfix release fixing two major bugs: - Resampler now works when using DrumGizmo as a plugin. - LV2 plugin no longer freezes on tempo changes. Download it from http://www.drumgizmo.org Visit us at the official irc channel at the Freenode network. Channel name #DrumGizmo. We would love to hear from you! // The DrumGizmo team

compose is out

by Cedric Roux

Hi everyone! just a short mail to tell you about my little program to study tonal music: compose. There is an X11 user interface and it's mostly keyboard-centric. There is alsa midi output. It's very small and very basic. The documentation is, ahem, well, the main thing you need to know is that there are two main edition modes and you switch between them with the escape key. For the rest, go read the source! (what? Sed it's 2016!! be serious man!!) (yeah yeah, but you know, LAZINESS!) (I will write some documentation at some point, I just feel very very lazy these days, I mean weeks, well okay months.) That thing is functional for me, probably not for anyone else but I feel like I want to announce about it. You know, the "spirit", freedom, and so on. To hell with "professional" software! Let's take back the control of our computers and write basic software that just work(tm) and are SMALL and ELEGANT, for hell's sake! And for whatever reason I am not satisfied at all with all this "notation editor" business or whatever it's called. Not. At. All. Anyway, it's at http://sed.free.fr/compose It will never be finished, for are there software out there that are finished? Let's also get rid of that release thing, this is totally meaningless. Let's go raw! Happy classic music everyone! Time for my pills. Cédric.

Qtractor 0.7.5 - The Hazy Photon is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello everybody! Qtractor 0.7.5 (hazy photon) is out! It comes with one top recommendation though: please update, at once, while it's hot! :) Highlights for this dot/beta release: * Overlapping clips cross-fade (NEW) * MIDI Send/Return and Aux-Send insert plugins (NEW) * Generic and custom track icons eye-candy (NEW) Some other interesting points may be found in the blunt and misty change-log below. And just in case you missed it before, Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio. Change-log (since last tacky release): - Beat unit divisor, aka. the denominator or lower numeral in the time-signature, have now a visible and practical effect over the time-line, even though the standard MIDI tempo(BPM) is always denoted in beats as quarter-notes (1/4, crotchet, seminima) per minute. - Fixed an old hack on LV2 State Files abstract/relative file-path mapping when saving custom LV2 Presets (after a related issue on Fabla2, by Harry Van Haaren, thanks). - Default PC-Keyboard shortcuts may now be erasable and re-assigned (cf. Help/Shortcuts...). - New option on the audio/MIDI export dialog, on whether to add/import the exported result as brand new track(s). - Introducing brand new track icons property. - Old Dry/Wet Insert and Aux-send pseudo-plugin parameters are now split into separate Dry and Wet controls, what else could it possibly be? :) - Brand new MIDI Insert and Aux-Send pseudo-plugins are now implemented with very similar semantics as the respective and existing audio counterparts. - Implement LV2_STATE__loadDefaultState feature (after pull request by Hanspeter Portner aka. ventosus, thanks). - Plug-ins search paths internal logic has been refactored; an alternative file-name based search is now in effect for LADSPA, DSSI and VST plug-ins, whenever not found on their original file-path locations saved in a previous session. - Finally added this brand new menu Clip/Cross Fade command, aimed on setting fade-in/out ranges properly, just as far to (auto)cross-fade consecutive overlapping clips.

DFasma 1.4.4 - A tool to analyse and compare audio files in time and frequency

by Gilles Degottex

Greetings, I felt we lack a light, quick and efficient tool to compare waveforms. DFasma is quite convenient for inspection of results of synthesis and modification tasks on voice signals. Homepage: http://gillesdegottex.github.io/dfasma/ Downloads: https://github.com/gillesdegottex/dfasma/releases * Shows spectrogram, amplitude spectrum, phase spectrum and group delay. * Can play a filtered sound given a selected frequency band. * Rectification of the spectrogram tilt (cepstral lifting). * Can create and edit fundamental frequency (F0) files (thanks to REAPER). * Can create and edit segmentation files. * Can load about 25 different audio formats (thanks to libsndfile). * Everything runs under Linux, Mac OSX and Windows. Have fun ! And any type of feedback is welcomed of course. Cheers, Gilles

Skylark

by Will Godfrey

Yoshimi 1.3.9, that is :) This is another consolidation release (although there are a few new features). With people, and some distros moving to GCC 6 we felt we should make sure we are squeaky clean, as this is much more pedantic regarding code correctness. Our new version has been extensively tested on GCC 4.9/5.3/6.0 both for compilation and runtime performance. One of our users has also double checked by compiling with Clang 3.5 More details in the README.txt file. As usual, available from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi and: https://github.com/Yoshimi/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.

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again, The so called 'Vee One Suite' aka. 'the gang of three' old-school software instruments, respectively synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer and drumkv1 [3] as one drum-kit sampler, are released yet again in their ninth official beta second iteration (bis). Still available in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK [4] client with JACK-session, NSM [5] (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA [6] MIDI input support; - a LV2 [7] instrument plug-in. As simple as a change-log may go: - Fixed the DCF Formant filter voice initialization reset. - French translation updated (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).
