[LAA] Vee One Suite 0.9.4 - A Late Autumn'18 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings! 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 all being released for the late in Autumn'18. All still available in dual format: - 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 changes for this special season are the following: - Make sure all LV2 state sample file references are resolved to their original and canonical file-paths (not symlinks). (applies to samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only) - Fixed a severe bug on saving the LV2 plug-in state: the sample file reference was being saved with the wrong name identifier and thus gone missing on every session or state reload thereafter.(applies to samplv1 [2] only) - Sample waveform drawing is a bit more keen to precision. - Old deprecated Qt4 build support is no more. - Normalized wavetable oscillator phasors. - Added missing include <unistd.h> to shut up some stricter compilers from build failures. The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later. And here they go again! **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.4 (late-autumn'18) released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

[LAA] [ANN] Mammut 0.61 and jack_capture 0.9.73

by Kjetil Matheussen

MAMMUT ======== *About: Mammut will FFT your sound in one single gigantic analysis (no windows). These spectral data, where the development in time is incorporated in mysterious ways, may then be transformed by different algorithms prior to resynthesis. An interesting aspect of Mammut is its completely non-intuitive sound transformation approach. *Homepage: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/doc/mammut/ *Screenshot: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/doc/mammut/mammut.png Changes 0.59 -> 0.61: -Play: Fix changing play position in realtime not always working. -GUI: Fix printing Ø in the about box. -GUI: Turn off startup sound by default. -GUI: Save prefs immediately, not when exiting program. -GUI: Make main window resizable. -DSP: Avoid denormals. (Just in case. Don't know if it was a problem). -Build: Build with -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -Wextra -Werror -Wall, and fix various potential bugs found by newer compilers and -Wextra. -GUI: Set moving camera to true by default -Build: Fix install instructions -Build: Upgraded Juce to 5.3.2 -Build: Varoius build fixes from GeorgeNs. -Fixed a couple of ugly bugs in the progress bar code. JACK_CAPTURE ============= 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 0.9.72 -> 0.9.73: * Update version to 0.9.73. (Version number was set to 0.9.71 in 0.9.72.) * Make it clearer that you risk overwriting an old file by specifying filename * OSX compilation fix (Julius Smith)
