DrumGizmo 0.9.15 Released! 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. We didn't quite make the yearly LAC (Linux Audio Conference) schedule. But fret not, now it is here! The new 0.9.15 release is primed and ready for use. Loads of new stuff in this release. Most prominent is the new timing humanizer and the bleed control! The timing humanizer works in addition to the velocity humanizer. Where the velocity humanizer adjusts the velocity of incoming midi hits, the timing humanizer does the same thing but instead moves them back and forth in time. This all helps to achieve a less machine-sounding output. To help with the understanding of the humanizing features, we've also added a “visualizer” which will mirror the settings you choose for a better understanding. This is the first iteration of the visualizer, so feedback is very welcome. So what else? Oh yes, “bleed control”! And yep, it does exactly what you expect. If you want a dry sounding kit, turn that slider aaaall the way down. But if you want all of the ambience in there, turn it aaaall the way up. Bleed is when a hit on any drum is also picked up by mics that aren't the “primary” mic of that specific drum. For some genres bleed is unwanted. For others, not so much. And now YOU are in control. For the full list of changes, check the roadmap for 0.9.15 [2] A note on the bleed control: Currently only the newly updated CrocellKit v1.1 supports this [1]. We still need to update the rest of the kits before it will work for those. So keep an eye out for that. And that is all. Please enjoy this release!

Vee One Suite 0.9.2 - A Summer'18 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Awe! 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 northern Summer'18. All available in dual standard forms: - 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 mostly common change-log for the hot-season is as follows: - Frame-time display format option added to new offset, loop-start and loop-end spin-boxes. (applies to samplv1 [2] and also partially to drumkv1 [3]) - Sample start point (offset) added as a brand new property parameter. (samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only) - Add LV2 UI Resize extension data support. - Process MIDI Controlllers even though the channel filter is on (DEF Channel is set anything but "Omni"). - AppData/AppStream metadata is now settled under an all permisssive license (FSFAP). Also, let it be known here, that there are a few and notable contributions currently evolving on the user documentation area, as follows:<ul> - synthv1 [1] manual, by Wladimir J. van der Laan: https://gist.github.com/laanwj/a197c90789e9b8c67dc2 - samplv1 [2] manual, by Menno Kenevel: https://github.com/rncbc/samplv1/wiki/User-Manual - samplv1 [2] manual, by m4lez: https://github.com/rncbc/samplv1/files/2220022/manual.odt.zip Please help if you can ;) The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [9] version 2 or later.
