New Session Manager Version 1.5.0

by software＠linuxaudio.org

Linuxaudio.org presents: New Session Manager Version 1.5.0 ## Summary WARNING! Next scheduled release (2021-04-15) will switch the default session root to $XDG_DATA_HOME ( default on most distributions: ~/.local/share/nsm/ ) With Aprils release please prepare to do one of the following: * Move old sessions to the new root directory (preferred) * Symlink "~/NSM Sessions" to the new root directory * use the nsmd --session-root commandline argument. All changes are made only on the server side, or in the tools we provide. Existing sessions, clients, and GUIs remain 100% compatible without requiring any changes. Please see the CHANGELOG highlight below. The project can be found on Github: https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager/ https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager/releases/tag/v1.5.0 API Document: https://linuxaudio.github.io/new-session-manager/api/index.html ## Full Release Announcement: New Session Manager (NSM) is a tool to assist music production by grouping standalone programs into sessions. Your workflow becomes easy to manage, robust and fast by leveraging the full potential of cooperative applications. NSM is free in every sense of the word: free of cost, free to share and use, free of spyware or ads, free-and-open-source. You can create a session, or project, add programs to it and then use commands to save, start/stop, hide/show all programs at once, or individually. At a later date you can then re-open the session and continue where you left off. All files belonging to the session will be saved in the same directory. Check your distributions in a few days for New-Session-Manager 1.5.0 You can find the source release on Github: https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager/releases/tag/v1.5.0 Bullet Points * Drop-In replacement for the non-session-manager daemon nsmd and tools (e.g. jackpatch) * Simple and hassle-free build system to make packaging easy * Possibility to react to sensible bug fixes that would not have been integrated into original nsmd * Stay upwards and downwards compatible with original nsmd * Conservative and hesitant in regards to new features and behaviour-changes, but possible in principle * Keep the session-manager separate from the other NON* tools Mixer, Sequencer and Timeline. * Protect nsmd from vanishing from the internet one day. * The goal is to become the de-facto standard music session manager for Linux distributions # Changes since new-session-manager v1.4.0 (2020-08-14) All changes are made only on the server side, or in the tools we provide. Existing sessions, clients, and GUIs remain 100% compatible without requiring any changes. ## nsmd: * Fix session discovery to not report nested sessions anymore. Also more robust file system error handling. * Command line option --quiet: Suppress messages except warnings and errors * Protect against orphaned clients or daemons when the server, or even a GUI, crashes. * Replace cowboy-slang in info-level OSC with descriptive, technical messages. ## Legacy-GUI: * Fix manpage description and usage with the correct executable name * Fix resizing to very small and back. ( / TheGreatWhiteShark ) ## NSM-Proxy: * Multiple layout and style fixes. Better texts for beginners. ## API: * NSM_API_VERSION_PATCH from 0 to 1 (1.1.0 -> 1.1.1) * Please see API document chapter "Changes in API Version 1.1.1" ## Extras: * This repository now contains extras (libraries, programs, documentation etc.) Extras are technically not connected to the main programs of this repository. There is no dependency to any "extra" nor any license implications. Please read extras/README.md. * nsm.h was moved to extras/nsm.h * "extras/pynsm" is now a part of NEW-SM. It was a standalone git repo until now. Greetings, nils

Patroneo - Easy Pattern Sequencer, Version 2.0.0 (Major Release)

by Laborejo Software Suite

Ladies and Gentlemen, 28 months after the first release (2018-09-15) the Laborejo Software Suite releases version 2.0.0 of Patroneo. Patroneo (which is Esperanto for "Pattern") is an easy to use, pattern based midi sequencer, a program that sends digital "notes" to software instruments such as synthesizers and samplers. You have tracks with one pattern each. Turn on steps in the pattern to play musical notes. Switch the patterns on and off in a sequence to create a song structure. Connect external synthesizers and samplers to create sounds. Please see the attached screenshot. The new features integrate seamlessly into the existing workflow. Old save files can still be loaded. 1) Tracks can now have different pattern lengths, allowing much more complex music. For this a widget was added next to the track name. 2) Each individual Pattern can now have any number of pitches (was fixed to 8 pitches before) 3) The Loop range can now contain multiple measures. Added GUI control next to loop button. Reminder: Loop-range is for trial&error, not for production. 4) A swing slider for rhythm-groups of 2 and 4 is now available for that 90s Dance Feeling (or Swing!) It is released under GPLv3. You can find all releases as sources here. Also check your distribution for packages in a few days after this announcement, please. https://laborejo.org/downloads/ For more information, a multi-language user manual, build instructions and git access please visit https://www.laborejo.org/patroneo Greetings, Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org

Yoshimi 1.7.4

by Will Godfrey

There are no new features in this release. It is really another maintenance one, with a few more bugfixes and code refinements. However, there is a check for when you save an instrument but haven't set a type. This asks you to do so, and also recommends including copyright information. You can ignore this and save without these, but then it will be very difficult to identify your patch on a search, and impossible to acknowledge you on any songs that use it. 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 http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
