V 1.5.1 - Jenny Wren Small and not especially pretty, but brightens up the Spring with sweet song. HIGHLIGHTS MIDI-learn has been extended so that you can now learn: Aftertouch The pitch wheel (14 bit resolution) NRPNs (also 14 bit). There is a 'Settings' option to always open the editing window on a sucessful 'learn'. Main volume now has interpolation so there is no zipper noise, and part volume and pan have better interpolation for the same reason. LFO frequency and depth are now fully dynamic. A number of actions are now 'soft' in that a fast fade is performed, then the synth is disabled, the action takes place, and the synth is re-enabled. The 'Solo' feature now ignores a value of zero if it is in 'Loop' mode. This means you can use a simple on/off switch control to step through the parts only when it gets the 'on' value. More tooltips give real values on hovering. Some also give small graphic representations. We have a new splash screen, which also doesn't block anymore. There is now also a 'Util' directory which has the tools, instructions and examples to enable you to create a personalised splash. To build yoshimi fetch the tarball from either: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi (once sourceforge sorts itself out again) 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.

Rivendell v2.15.3

by Fred Gleason

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.15.3. 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: TagStation RLM. Added an RLM for generating TagStation events for NextRadio. Web API. Added 'AddLog', 'DeleteLog' and 'SaveLog' calls to the web API, along with general cleanup and correction of the overall Web API subsystem. MPEG Layer 3 Cleanups. Fixed bugs in MP3 file importation that caused files with variable bit rate (VBR) to be truncated during import. Fixed a bug that caused dynamically loaded codec libraries to fail to be detected if the corresponding library's -devel package was not installed. Various other bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 259, and will automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo. As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Further information, screenshots and download links are available at: http://www.rivendellaudio.org <http://www.rivendellaudio.org/> Cheers! |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

Vee One Suite 0.8.1 - A Spring'17 release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Great news! The 'Vee One Suite' of old-school software instruments, respectively synthv1 [1], as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2], a polyphonic sampler synthesizer and drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler, are once again out in the wild! 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. The common change-log for this dot release follows: - Fixed a probable old miss about changing spin-box and drop-down list not reflecting changes immediately into the respective parameter dial knobs. - Fixed middle-button clicking on the dial-knobs to reset to the current default parameter value. - Help/Configure.../Options/Use desktop environment native dialogs option is now set initially off by default. - Added French man page (by Olivier Humbert, thanks). - Make builds reproducible byte for byte, by getting rid of the configure build date and time stamps. And here they go again! **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1]** synthv1 0.8.1 (spring'17) released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.
