[LAA] project "droning" v.2 released!

by Louigi Verona

Dear Linux Audio community! For many years I have been releasing my "droning" pieces on these mailinglists, and your support had been amazing! Today I have big news about project "droning": after several weeks of work, I have brought it to a new level. *What has changed:* 1. All tracks have been remastered. This is especially important for earlier dronings. A number of fixes has been made to tracks that needed fixing, and a couple of dronings were completely re-rendered from sources. 2. No more weirdly quiet tracks. All dronings are amplified to normal LUFS and also feel equally loud between themselves. 3. All tracks have been given titles. 4. Both mp3 and flacs have correct metadata (I am in the process of finalizing the reupload of new flacs to Bandcamp). *New release:* Additionally, you will find the previously missing dronings 277 and 280 present in the list of mp3. droning280, "Twilight Connection", has been released for the public only now. So, if nothing else, go grab this new tune now! :) As usual, project "droning" is located here: https://louigiverona.com/?page=projects&s=music&t=droning Again, thank you for the amazing support that I have received from you over the years. I hope project "droning" will continue to be enjoyed by ambient lovers all over the world! Louigi Verona https://louigiverona.com/

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, hereby the Laborejo Software Suite releases updates for Patroneo and Fluajho. Both are published in version 1.1 in the hope to be useful your musical toolbox. All software is released under GPLv3.

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello and Happy New Year! QmidiCt 0.5.3 (early winter'19) is out! QmidiCt [1] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [6] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows [7]. QmidiCt [1] was long ago designed for the Maemo [8] enabled handheld devices, namely the late Nokia N900 [9] and promoted to the Maemo Package [10] repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [1] may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android application as well.

[LAA] Yoshimi latest release out now

by Will Godfrey

V 1.5.10 Redwing Command Line access is now virtually complete. The graphic interface has had a minor makeover. Also, very occasional corruption of this has been resolved. All inactive controls are now shown as such - there were a number that previously weren't, thus causing considerable confusion for new users. There is an improved pseudo-random number system, which does not rely on external libraries anymore. The 'Yoshimi Advanced User Manual' has had considerable revision and extension. Further details can be found in /doc/Yoshimi_1.5.10_features.txt By default, Yoshimi is supplied with 710 instruments spread across 23 banks. Yoshimi source code is available from either: https://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi Or: https://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi Full build instructions are in 'INSTALL'. Our list archive is at: https://www.freelists.org/archive/yoshimi To post, email to: yoshimi(a)freelists.org -- 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.
