The first release of GxMatchEq. A Matching Equalizer to apply a EQ curve from on source to a other source. GxMatchEq analyze the spectral profile of a sound source, analyze the spectral profile of a sound destination, and calculate the EQ settings needed to make the destination match the source. Source analyses could be saved as 'Profiles' and reused for as many destinations as you wish. Match curves could be saved as presets to reuse the same settings when ever needed.

rkr lv2 beta 3

by Spencer Jackson

Yo: I know this project has been in beta for a ridiculous amount of time, but I still haven't mustered the time and effort to give everything a proper test. However we have had a few community contributed fixes which warrants a new release. Thanks to Robin (x42) we now have a working Vibe effect and the bypass has been improved in all the effects (which probably won't be very noticeable to users). Happy LARD (Linux Audio Release Day)! https://github.com/ssj71/rkrlv2/releases/tag/beta_3 _Spencer (ssj71)

[ANN] midiomatic plugins 0.1.0 beta release

by Christopher Arndt

Hola, I'm pleased to announce version 0.1.0-beta2 of the *midiomatic* plugin collection as the first public beta release. What is it? ----------- *midiomatic* is a small collection of MIDI filter, generator and processor plugins in LV2 and VST2 format. This collection arose from the desire to test whether it is viable to implement MIDI processing plugins with the DISTRHO Plugin Framework (DPF). This is the first public release and the project is still considered to be in beta stage. The MIDISysFilter and MIDIPBToCC plugins are already considered stable but the MIDICCRecorder plugin is still experimental. I'm planning to add more plugins to the collection. Requests and ideas for plugins welcome. Where to get it? ---------------- https://github.com/SpotlightKid/midiomatic or, for Arch Linux users, from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/midiomatic/ *Share & Enjoy* Christopher Arndt

[ANN] python-rtmidi 1.3.1 released

by Christopher Arndt

Ciao tutti! I'm pleased to announce that version 1.3.1 of *python-rtmidi* has just been released! What is it? ----------- python-rtmidi is a Python binding for RtMidi, a set of C++ classes which provides a cross-platform API for realtime MIDI input / output. python-rtmidi supports Python 2 and Python 3 (3.4+) and is available for Linux, macOS (OS X) and Windows. What's new? ----------- This is a bugfix release with only minor enhancements. The major changes are: * RtMidi C++ level exceptions, when thrown, do not print the error message to stderr anymore. * RtMidi C++ exceptions are now caught when creating RtMidiIn/Out instances and converted into a Python rtmidi.SystemError exception. * Helper functions in rtmidi.midiutil now raise sub-classes of rtmidi.RtMidiError wherever appropriate. * When the JACK backend can't be initialized (e.g. when the server isn't running) it causes a DRIVER_ERROR instead of just a printing a WARNING. * Various improvements to the included example scripts. * Various small documentation wording changes and typo fixes. For a detailed list of changes, see the change log here: https://github.com/SpotlightKid/python-rtmidi/blob/master/CHANGELOG.rst Where to get it? ---------------- https://github.com/SpotlightKid/python-rtmidi or via pip: pip install python-rtmidi (Pre-compiled binary wheels for Windows and macOS for several Python versions in 32 and 64 bit variants are provided.) or, for Arch Linux users, from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-rtmidi/ How to use it? -------------- Please read the documentation here: https://spotlightkid.github.io/python-rtmidi/ *Share & Enjoy* Christopher Arndt

[ANN] jack-select 1.4.0 released

by Christopher Arndt

Hallöle! a new version 1.4.0 of *jack-select* has just been released! What is it? *jack-select* is a systray app to set the JACK configuration from QjackCtl presets via DBus. It displays an icon in the system tray of your desktop, which shows the status of the JACK audio server and when you click on it, a menu pops up, which lets you quickly select from the JACK configuration presets you created with QjackCtl. This allows you to switch between different audio setups with just two mouse clicks. *jack-select* works with the DBus-version of JACK only. It is written in Python 3 using the ``PyGObject`` bindings for GTK 3. Python 2 is not supported. What's new? * The configuration file path can be given via command line option * When a preset name is given on the command line (or the -d option is used), activate the (default) preset also when jack-select was not already running. * Updated man page. * Major internal code restructuring. * Map all JACK settings to a D-BUS type explicitly. * Support 'slave-driver' engine parameter (this is not present in QjackCtl's configuration file, though). Where to get it? https://github.com/SpotlightKid/jack-select or via pip (but see the "Requirements" section in the README first): pip install jack-select or, for Arch Linux users, from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jack-select/ How to use it? `man jack-select` or see the README file here: https://github.com/SpotlightKid/jack-select/blob/master/README.md *Share & Enjoy* Christopher Arndt

New Software: Vico - minimalistic layer based midi sequencer

by Laborejo Software Suite

Ladies and Gentlemen, hereby the Laborejo Software Suite releases its newest software: Vico is a minimalistic midi sequencer that is intended to be used in parallel with other software. "Vico" (with c like ts in "bats") just means "sequence" or "order" in Esperanto for obvious reasons. In a loop- or pattern based environment you often want to have a 'free flowing' track in order to create an instrumental solo, for example. Sometimes you just want to record a sketch or an idea quickly and not open or create an entire DAW project. Vico fulfills these conditions by connecting exactly one source to one output, and records and plays back in between. Or to put it another way: you only get one track, intended for one instrument (but with convenient layers). Source download: https://laborejo.org/downloads/vico-1.0.tar.gz For more information, a multi-language user manual, build instructions and git access please visit https://laborejo.org/vico/
