[LAA] Vee One Suite 0.8.5 - An Autumn'17 release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Howdy! The 'Vee One Suite' of so called 'old-school' software instruments, synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are here released for the seasonal greetings. All still available in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. The common change-log for this Fall goes like this: - Sample files are now saved as symlinks when saving to JACK and/or NSM session directories/folders (applies to samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). - Opening multiple preset files is now possible, populating the preset drop-down listing, while only the first one is loaded effectively into the scene as usual. - Mono(phonic) "Legato" mode option introduced. - Desktop entry specification file is now finally independent from all build/configure template chains, whatever. - Updated target path for freedesktop.org's AppStream metainfo file (formerly AppData). And now, in reverse order of appearance: **padthv1 - an old-school polyphonic additive synthesizer [4]** padthv1 0.8.5 (autumn'17) released! padthv1 is an old-school polyphonic additive synthesizer with stereo fx padthv1 is based on the PADsynth algorithm by Paul Nasca, as a special variant of additive synthesis.

We are offering this same challenge worldwide for participating remotely. The sample will also be posted online and a submission form made available during the same hour the challenge is issued at the convention. Highlights from the submissions will be played in the following episode of the Open Source Musician ( http://opensourcemusician.com).

[LAA] "Sonoj", a community organized event about Open Source Music Production struggles to get funded. Please help

by Nils, Sonoj Convention

(Disclaimer: I am an organizer of this event) In less than a month the "Sonoj Convention" shall happen. [quote]Admission is free. You will be able to enjoy demonstrations, talks and workshops about music production through open source software. Hands-on tutorials and workflow presentations can be expected. Everything will be recorded and released as online videos afterwards. [/quote] Please consider helping us by donating and spreading the word. You will get some appreciation through the "Reward" system on the website. For that we are asking for some modest donations here: https://www.startnext.com/en/sonoj Currently it looks like that this will not succeed, as you can see from the link above. This is the usual "all or nothing" platform that only gives you money if the goal is reached, otherwise donors get their money back. However, despite submitting the event announcements and several updates to nearly one hundred on-topic websites, magazines (including posting it ourselves on KVR, Reddit etc.) and blogs there is nearly zero response. That excludes the Linux Audio Scene itself, which was very supportive to this day (at least the news, not the donations). I was hoping that Sonoj could be an event that brings in people from the "outside", that are not already well connected with Linux Audio. It seems I was wrong. So here I am in one of the last places I wanted to ask for donations, because this is the crowd that usually already gives a lot, be it their own time, development of software or actual donations to well deserving projects. Please consider helping us by donating and spreading the word. You will get some appreciation through the "Reward" system on the website. https://www.startnext.com/en/sonoj Yours Nils, for the Sonoj Convention https://www.sonoj.org

[LAA] Rivendell v2.17.0

by Fred Gleason

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.17.0. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: New RML. Added the 'Air Gate' ['AG'] RML to permit conditional execution of RML on the basis of the status of the On-Air flag. New Icons. Implemented a new icon set, with individualized icons for each Rivendell module. A big thanks to Josh Edelstein <edelsteinj(a)rfa.org> for the artwork! User Authentication. It is now possible to configure RDLogin to require entry of the user-name, rather than picking the name off of a list. See the 'Show User List in RDLogin' checkbox in RDAdmin->SystemSettings. New Switcher/GPIO Devices. Support has been added for the following Switcher/GPIO devices: Broadcast Tools Universal 4.1 MLR>>Web Switcher WheatNet LIO WheatNet SLIO Dropbox Enhancements. Added the ability to force imports to be imported as mono, as well as the ability to reset an individual dropbox. Log Rendering (EXPERIMENTAL). It is now possible to 'render' a log as a single audio object (file or cart/cut) without the need to play it out while capturing the audio in realtime. Render support is available through the 'Render' button in RDLogEdit and through the command-line rdrender(1) utility. See the rdrender(1) man page for details. Web API. Many fixes and enhancements to improve operation. See the ChangeLog for details. Provisioning Support. Added a [Provisioning] section to rd.conf(5) with directives to facilitate the automatic provisioning of Rivendell instances. See the comments in the [Provisioning] section of the sample rd.conf(5) file. Various other bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details. *** snip snip *** Further information, screenshots and download links are available at: http://www.rivendellaudio.org <http://www.rivendellaudio.org/> Cheers! |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
