Zrythm v0.8.252 has been released. ![Zrythm screenshot]( https://www.zrythm.org/static/images/apr-10-2020.png) Zrythm is a digital audio workstation designed to be featureful and easy to use. It allows limitless automation, supports LV2 plugins, works with the JACK audio backend, provides chord assistance, is free software and can be used in English, French, Portuguese, Japanese and German. # Current state Zrythm is in the late alpha stage and we are implementing the final few features left before we stabilize the project format and enter the beta phase. The main changes since the last announcement are the following (view the whole changelog here: < https://git.zrythm.org/cgit/zrythm/tree/CHANGELOG.md>;). ## New layout Moved the transport bar to the bottom to give more breathing space to icons at the top. ## New editing capabilities Ctrl+D to duplicate, Alt+drag to link regions, cut-paste, Shift+M to mute/unmute objects and more. ## Bounce to audio Right click on MIDI material -> bounce to bounce the signal into an audio region. ## Automation recording Automation can now be recorded live in latch/touch modes. ## Audio fades Audio regions have editable fade in/out markers, with various fade algorithms. ## Choice of automation algorithms Right clicking on automation curves allows changing the curve algorithm. ## GNU Guile scripting interface Zrythm now has user scripting support through a [GNU Guile]( https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/) [API]( https://manual.zrythm.org/en/scripting/intro.html). GNU Guile is an implementation of the Scheme language, a dialect of LISP. ## New backends Added support for RtAudio, RtMidi and SDL2 backends. ## Serializable undo history The Undo/Redo history is now saved with projects. # Download & install Zrythm can be built from [source](https://git.zrythm.org/cgit/zrythm) at no cost or pre-built packages can be downloaded for various distros for a fee at <https://www.zrythm.org/en/download.html>;. Downloading an installer is the best way to support this project. # Next steps Our current goal is to get to beta as soon as possible. Getting to beta means the project format will (mostly) freeze, meaning that projects saved with different Zrythm versions will be compatible. This means that we must implement all project-breaking features for version 1 before beta, and work on stability during beta. # Links Home page: <https://www.zrythm.org> Git repositories: <https://git.zrythm.org/cgit/> Manual: <https://manual.zrythm.org/en/index.html> Developer reference: <https://docs.zrythm.org/> Bug reports: <https://redmine.zrythm.org/projects/zrythm/issues> Releases: <https://www.zrythm.org/releases/>

[LAA] Initial rtpmidid release. 20.04 #stayathome

by David Moreno Montero

Initial rtpmidid release. 20.04 #stayathome https://github.com/davidmoreno/rtpmidid/releases/tag/v20.04.5 Features: - Basic RTP MIDI protocol implementation for Linux - Use of UDP/IP to communicate MIDI devices - Most common MIDI messages: Notes, CC, Pitch Bend... - Interoperable with Windows, Mac OS*, iPad, Android and Hardware Devices. And with other rtpmidid instances. - Uses ALSA sequencer interface (tip: qjackctl is great for managing connections) - Use mDNS for easy discovery of other ends - This release includes packages for Ubuntu and Raspbian. - GPLv3 License (*) Not tested as I don't have access to Hardware. But if it works on iPad it should work on Mac OS. This marks the first rtpmidi release, the #stayathome edition. Beta version It has minimal features and can be used on experimental setups to use rtpmidi. It has been tested with iPads, Android (TouchDAW), rtpmidi for Windows, and Deepmind12 for hardware. It has no support for the journal, so in theory some MIDI packets might be lost, which can be a problem. The introspection capabilities are also very limited, just now only on the logging data and a bit via the rtpmidid-cli.
