On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to
announce the availability of the first release candidate of the next
major version of Rivendell, 3.x. Rivendell is a full-featured radio
automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast
environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License
version 2.
MAJOR CHANGES FROM v2.x

Unicode Support. Unicode/UTF-8 clean, with full support for characters
in both the Basic Multilingual and Supplemental Planes.
Qt Toolkit Upgrade. Built upon Qt4, rather than Qt3.
Scalability Improvements. Engineered to support installations with
hundreds or more active play-out logs.
PAD System Upgrades. PAD (Now & Next) processing done by means of
PyPAD, utilizing user customizable Python 3 scripts. Also fully
Unicode/UTF-8 clean.
Realtime Status Updates. Changes in Rivendell objects (carts, logs,
etc) communicated and displayed instantly on other hosts with no need
for manual refreshing.
And many more...
GETTING AND TRYING THE BETA RELEASE
-----------------------------------
Full source code for this release is available at:

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Sonoj Convention is an annual event in Cologne, Germany about music
production with free and open source software (and hardware).
This year it will be on October the 26th and 27th 2019.
It features demonstrations, talks and hands-on workshops. Meet
like-minded people, learn insider knowledge and tricks, participate in
our one-hour production challenge! Everybody is welcome, no matter your
musical or technological background or capabilities.
Our Website:
https://sonoj.org
This is our first announcement, reaching out to our core audience. The
event is more than half a year away, but we are starting talks to find
speakers and lecturers now.
Sonoj is not a software-developers conference; instead the stereotypical
speaker is an experienced musician or producer.
If you would like to make a contribution, please send an informal and
short e-mail with your ideas to info(a)sonoj.org
Here are some examples from the past years, to get an idea:
* Creating a Radio Drama with Ardour (for Beginners)
* Synthesizing electronic dance music with ZynAddSubFx
* Carla Plugin Host Feature Demonstration and Workflows
*/Making Music with Text/ - Audible Programming with Sonic Pi
/* The Realm of Too Many Options/ - Write, record, mix and actually
finish your music.
* Fantasy Game Soundtrack Production in an open source ecosystem
If you would like to participate creatively in the Sonoj Convention
please reach out to us!
(And if you just want to visit, the visitor registration is already
online as well)
I am looking forward to your answer!

ZynAddSubFX 3.0.4 - The âCalamineâ Release
March 10th 2019
Hello everyone,
Iâm glad to announce the 3.0.4 release of ZynAddSubFX. This release
features a number of user interface visual refinements, the LFO random
mode, as well as improved parameter resolution for two add synth volume
parameters. Additionally for packagers, this release is now compatible
with the new MXML 3.0 library API.
For those using the gumroad builds, those should be up in the next few
days. Windows users should be mindful that since 3.0.3, there appears to
be a regression in the startup of the standalone GUI. So, if there are
issues there, it may be best to use the plugin version or 3.0.3 version
until thatâs fixed. If thereâs anyone building for that platform whoâs
interested in tracing the root cause of that issue, let us know.
Changelog highlights:
- Add scripting to zyn-fusion UI for automated screen capture
- Add double click to reset sliders
- Add random LFO mode
- Add compatibility with MXML 3.0
- Enhance modulation volume parameter resolution
- Enhance global volume parameter resolution
- Enhance state variable filter interpolation
- General UI Cleaning
- Fix pops with note aftertouch
- Fix pad synth export
- Fix envelope watchpoint visualization
- Fix .xlz load/save in fusion UI
And hereâs the contribution score card by number of commits since 3.0.3:

For anyone interested in seeing what new things to expect in Zyn over
the next year, Iâd recommend taking a look at the zynaddsubfx-user
mailing list where students are actively discussing their ideas for this
yearâs Google Summer of Code. This is Zynâs first involvement as a
mentoring organization and there should be some interesting projects as
a result.
Now go make some noise!
