Andes - synthesizer plugin based on Perlin noise

by Artem Popov

Hi everyone! I'd like to announce the first release of Andes, a sound synthesizer plugin based on Perlin noise. It is built around an original oscillator that calculates a sum of Perlin noise steps using a technique called fractional Brownian motion to produce distinctively digital sounds. Check it out at: https://artfwo.github.io/andes/ The current implementation only provides a single oscillator and an ADSR envelope. Certain basic features like presets and modulation are underway. Andes is written using JUCE and I managed to build VST+standalone binaries so far, but an LV2 plugin looks possible with JUCE, so that is planned as well. To build Andes, get the source code from Github: https://github.com/artfwo/andes Regards, --Artem

launch-step: a step sequencer for Novation Launchpads

by Kaspar Emanuel

Hey all, I wrote a MIDI step sequencer for the old Novation Launchpads. It has quite a few different scales (thanks to the tonal package on NPM), let's you change the sequence length on the fly and set lower velocities by holding down the pads. Demo: https://youtu.be/dS_x-FioqHM Code and installation instructions: https://github.com/kasbah/launch-step Cheers, Kaspar

DrumGizmo v0.9.14 (LAC2017 version) released

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng

DrumGizmo version 0.9.14 now available! Get it at http://www.drumgizmo.org/ 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 a lot of bugs as reported from our last release 0.9.13[1] which was the first drumgizmo version ever supporting diskstreaming. The release bears the version number 0.9.14 and can, as always, be downloaded here[2]. For the full list of changes, check the roadmap for 0.9.14[3]. The release of 0.9.14 is also known as "LAC2017 here we come!" As is a bit of a tradition for the DrumGizmo team (and many other fine open source projects), we have prepared a special release for the upcoming Linux Audio Conference[4]. This year the conference takes place in Saint-Etienne, France from May 18-21 2017. And we'll be showing up! So be sure to take note of “The cool guys with the drumsticks”. You might just secure yourself one with a nice DG logo on it done with the custom made lasercutter of Open Space Aarhus[5]. See you at LAC! :) [1]: http://www.drumgizmo.org/wiki/doku.php?id=roadmap:features_roadmap#version_… [2]: http://www.drumgizmo.org/wiki/doku.php?id=getting_drumgizmo [3]: http://www.drumgizmo.org/wiki/doku.php?id=roadmap:features_roadmap#version_… [4]: http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2017 [5]: http://osaa.dk

[ANN] jack_capture 0.9.72

by Kjetil Matheussen

jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. The default operation of the program is executed by writing "jack_capture" in the terminal without any extra command line options: $ jack_capture ...which will record what you hear in your loudspeakers into a stereo wav file. But it has lots of other features as well. Project page: https://github.com/kmatheussen/jack_capture Download from http://archive.notam02.no/arkiv/src/?C=M;O=D Changes 0.9.71 -> 0.9.72: * Print warning in case user overwrites existing file. * Use execvp, not execv. Also print strerror() if execvp failed. Fix for time machine mode. * Support OSX (Luciano Iammarino) * Some tsan fixes * replace static .wav suffix with correct soundfile_format (Sebastian Reimers) * Silence unused parameter warnings from gcc 4.8 * Warn about unable to set SCHED_OTHER process using setpriority(), not a SCHED_FIFO process * Compilation patches from debian

Qtractor 0.8.2 - A Stickier Tauon release

by Rui Nuno Capela

And now for something ultimately pretty much expected: the Qstuff* pre-LAC2017 [7][8] release frenzy wrap up! Qtractor 0.8.2 (a stickier tauon) is released! Change-log: - Track-name uniqueness is now being enforced, by adding an auto-incremental number suffix whenever necessary. - Attempt to raise an internal transient file-name registry to prevent automation/curve files to proliferate across several session load/save (re)cycles. - Track-height resizing now meets immediate visual feedback. - A brand new user preference global option is now available: View/Options.../Plugins/Editor/Select plug-in's editor (GUI) if more than one is available. - More gradient eye-candy on main track-view and piano-roll canvases, now showing left and right edge fake-shadows. - Fixed the time entry spin-boxes when changing time offset or length fields in BBT time format that goes across any tempo/time-signature change nodes. - French (fr) translation update (by Olivier Humbert, thanks). Description: 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.

Vee One Suite 0.8.2 - The Pre-LAC2017 Release frenzy continues...

by Rui Nuno Capela

The Qstuff* pre-LAC2017 [11] release frenzy continues... 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 all joining the traditional pre-LAC [10] release frenzy! All 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 second batch release goes as follows: - A custom knob/spin-box behavioral option have been added: Configure/Knob edit mode, as to avoid abrupt changes upon editing values (still the default behavior) and only take effect (Deferred) when enter is pressed or the spin-box loses focus. - The main GUI has been partially revamped, after replacing some rotary knob/dial combos with kinda more *skeuomorphic* fake-LED radio-buttons or check-boxes. - A MIDI In(put) status fake-LED is now featured on the bottom-left status bar, adding up to eye-candy as usual (applies to all); also, each drum element key/sample now have their own fake-LED flashing on respective MIDI note-on/off events (applies to drumkv1 [3] only). - Alias-free/band-limited wavetable oscillators have been fixed to prevent cross-octave, polyphonic interference. (applies to synthv1 [1] only). - A brand new and specific user preference option is now available as Help/Configure.../Options/Use GM standard drum names (default being yes/true/on; applies to drumkv1 [3] only). So here they are again! **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1]** synthv1 0.8.2 (pre-lac2017) is out! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.
