Zrythm 1.0.0-beta.3.9.1 has been released! This release among other things brings CLAP (experimental) and JSFX plugin support, thanks to the work of Filipe Coelho (falkTX) and Jean Pierre Cimalando (jpcima) in Carla. The pre-compiled binaries for GNU/Linux are now universal. This means that instead of installing distribution-specific packages, Zrythm installs itself under /opt. This makes the pre-compiled binaries work on any distro (with some exceptions like GuixSD and NixOS) where the glibc version is >= 2.27 (equivalent to Ubuntu 18.04 or newer). Moreover, the only limitation on gratis binaries is now a maximum of 25 tracks per project. Limitations on save/load have been lifted. Of course, there are no limitations when building from source. ==== Screenshot ==== https://www.zrythm.org/static/images/screenshots/screenshot-20221015.png ==== Demo ==== How to compose a track from the ground up using Zrythm (by unfa): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nHhLDErttE ==== About ==== Zrythm is a digital audio workstation designed to be featureful and easy to use. It offers streamlined editing workflows with flexible tools, limitless automation capabilities, powerful mixing features, chord assistance and support for various plugin and file formats. Zrythm is free software written in C using the GTK4 toolkit and can be extended with user scripts written in Scheme or ECMAScript. Zrythm is currently in beta. The project format is stable and we are working towards a v1 release. ==== Release Notes ==== Main changes since last announcement: - Many more bundled plugins including a synth - JSFX and CLAP plugin support - UI panel docking with libpanel - Ability to search in the file browser - Plugin sorting in the plugin browser (by name/last used/most used) - Ability to ghost MIDI notes from other regions in the same track - Fade in/out to prevent pops when saving a project/muting tracks - Redesigned export dialog and more audio formats enabled - Ability to show all used/hide all unused automation lanes - New track visibility dialog including filtering by name and type - New about dialog from libadwaita - Better error handling in various situations - Support higher quality audio stretching (from rubberband 3) - Keep a whitelist of plugin authors and sandbox all other plugins - Various user manual updates - Various localization updates - Various UI/UX improvements/optimizations - Many bug fixes The list of changes in this release follows: ## [1.0.0-beta.3.9.1] - 2022-10-15 ### Added - Show dialog to create a new instrument track when dropping an instrument plugin onto a MIDI track - Add whitelist of plugin authors and bridge all other plugins ### Changed - Update Ukrainian translations - Meson: don't set -mtune=generic if not native build - JACK: handle failure to connect to monitor output gracefully - Update reproc version requirement (fixes occasional assert failures during plugin scan on Windows) - Re-enable highlighting in timeline while dragging files - Re-enable highlighting in track widgets while dragging other tracks - Meson: build bundled plugins with `-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++` by default on GNU/Linux + GCC ==== Links ==== Full changelog: https://git.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/tree/master/item/CHANGELOG.md Pending features for v1: https://todo.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm-feature?search=status%3Aopen+label%3A%22… Pending fixes for v1: https://todo.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm-bug?search=status%3Aopen+label%3A%22v1%22 Home page: <https://www.zrythm.org> Installer downloads: <https://www.zrythm.org/en/download.html> Git repository: <https://sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm> User manual: <https://manual.zrythm.org/en/index.html> Developer reference: <https://docs.zrythm.org/> Issue trackers: <https://sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/trackers> Mailing lists: <https://sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/lists> Releases: <https://www.zrythm.org/releases/> Donations: <https://www.zrythm.org/en/community.html#donate>

[LAA] New Session Manager Release v1.6.1

by software＠jackaudio.org

This is a New Session Manager feature release, version 1.6.1 https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/releases/tag/v1.6.1 It 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. 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. [CHANGELOG] * Absolutely make sure that all clients of the session are closed when closing the session. This solves the invisible, hidden clients still running even after nsmd quit itself. Decrease wait time for such clients at session quit from extreme 60s to very long 30s. * For lockfiles fall back to hardcoded /run/user/<user-id> when $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not available on the system. 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. https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager

[LAA] Qtractor 0.9.29 - An Early-Autumn'22 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello there, one third and last time, Qtractor 0.9.29 (early-autumn'22) is released! Change-log:: - Capture same time(stamp) note-off tracking and postponing is now on trial, hopefully mitigating a legato issue, reported to MIDI wind instruments (EWI). (EXPERIMENTAL) - Fixed an old window parenting (aka z-level) issue, related to the Add Track and Track Properties dialogs and whether called from the main or mixer menus. - Fixed the out-of-process plugin scanner terminating too soon and sometimes miss some very last results. - Fixed another old bug in MIDI note-off messages not being sent while playing after a loop region. - Fixed a pretty ancient bug in the VST(2.x) plug-in program names inventory, present when building to the VeSTige header (which is still the default). Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

[LAA] XUiDesigner v0.8 released

by Hermann Meyer

XUiDesigner v0.8 released A easy to use tool to generator/design X11 based LV2 Plugin Bundles. Beside that XUiDesigner allow to generate and install GUI's for existing LV2 plugins (so far only Reaper fail to load extra UI's), it support as well to generate LV2 plugins from scratch. Special support is implemented for FAUST dsp files, which allow you to generate a LV2 plugin with X11 based UI by just drag'n'drop a FAUST dsp file into the XUiDesigner interface. This works now as well for MIDI capable faust modules. In any way, you don't need to interference with any of the annoying LV2 implementations. XUiDesigner handle that all for you. The very same is true when you like to implement your own dsp (C++) into a LV2 plugin. Example files for how to create a c++ file for parsing (drag n' drop) with XUiDesigner been included. For later rework the UI a json file will be created which you could drop later on XUiDesigner to load and rework the UI. This may also be usable by other toolkits to create a UI? This release comes with a couple of Bug-fixes and aims to be nearly stable. Here is a introduction Wiki <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/wiki/XUiDesigner> entry to show the first steps. Note: Please download the attached XUIDesigner_0.8.tar.gz <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/releases/download/v0.8/XUIDesigner…> archive, as only that contain the needed git submodule ( old long time knowing bug on github) as the other files wont be able to build XUiDesigner for you. New in this release: Implement Virtual Midi Keyboard Widget Fix segfault under Wayland Fix several Bugs Implement proper *.cc file parser Add examples for *cc file parsing Project page: https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner Download Release: https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/releases/download/v0.8/XUIDesigner… Enjoy anyway.
