Hi all, We released a new version of our A-SID plugin that fixes a couple of bugs, making it finally work with Reaper and Bitwig Studio on Linux. A-SID implements a wah effect as a C64 program and a VST3 plugin. More info at https://www.orastron.com/asid. Best regards, Stefano D'Angelo Founder and CEO of Orastron - https://www.orastron.com/

A-SID VST3 ported to Linux

by Stefano D'Angelo

Hi all, We just ported our A-SID VST3 plugin to Linux. A-SID is our personal and romantic way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the debut in 1982 of the most successful computer ever, the C64. It implements a wah effect as a C64 program and a VST3 plugin. The C64 program uses the SID chip in the original machine. No hardware modification is required, but you need to build yourself one or two adapter cables and copy the program to a cassette. The VST3 version emulates the original analog filter (the MOS 8580 version) and replicates the C64 program. Both versions are GPLv3 licensed. More info on the product page: https://www.orastron.com/asid. Creating this software has been a fascinating journey that absorbed an immense quantity of energy and time, as we documented on our blog: https://www.orastron.com/blog/asid-trip-part-1. We would really appreciate if you could spread the word about A-SID and Orastron with friends and on social media, forums, etc. Bluntly put, we'd love to make innovative premium consumer products, but we first need an audience for that to be economically viable. Also, if you want to keep up to date, we maintain a low-volume newsletter you could subscribe to: https://www.orastron.com/#newsletter.

XUiDesigner v0.6 released

by Hermann Meyer

XUiDesigner v0.7 released A easy to use tool to generator/design X11 based LV2 plugins. Beside that XUiDesigner allow to generate and install GUI's for existing LV2 plugins, 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 or C++) into a LV2 plugin. You could create the GUI interface, save the plugin bundle, and implement the needed calls to init, activate and run your dsp. 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. New in this release: implement interim save format (json) <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/commit/8e94678ad5e1abde7c8d4dfae05…> (Allow to load and rework the generated UI in XUiDesigner at any time) Project page: https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner Download Release: https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/releases/download/v0.7/XUIDesigner… Enjoy anyway.

DrumGizmo 0.9.20 released

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng

DrumGizmo 0.9.20 Released! DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup. This release was originally intended as a bugfix release, but quite a few features also managed to find their way in. Noteworthy bugs that has been fixed: * Software regression error in cymbal choke code has been fixed. So now choking of cymbals using both directed chokes and after-touch midi events work again as expected. * A compilation error due to an update in LV2 API (we used an obsolete LV2 type) has been fixed, so now compilation should work for everybody again. * Code can now properly be compiled with NSL support disabled at configure time. * Compilation with the modern gcc-11 compiler has been fixed. As usual read the detailed description of all the new shiny features, see the detailed changelog: [1]. And now, without further ado, go grab 0.9.20!!!

audiowmark-0.6.1 - Audio Watermarking

by Stefan Westerfeld

Hi! audiowmark-0.6.1 is now available at https://uplex.de/audiowmark Overview of Changes in audiowmark-0.6.1: * improve speed detection/correction - performance optimizations to make --detect-speed faster - improve accuracy of speed detection - make it work properly with short payload - add second, slower / more accurate algorithm (--detect-speed-patient) * fix segfaults during hls-prepare (#11) * read all input if a process provides audio on stdin to avoid SIGPIPE (#19) * improve infrastructure for testing audiowmark - run some scripts for 'make check' to ensure everything works correctly - add CI which builds/tests audiowmark automatically using github actions - support various sanitizer builds / STL C++ debug builds - fix some issues triggered by sanitizers * add --strict option: provide strict and more permissive mode - "input frames != output frames" is only an error if --strict is used - enforce payload size if --strict is used * improve command line parsing error messages * documentation updates * minor fixes audiowmark is an open source solution (GPL3 or later) for watermarking audio files. It has many features, it is robust, fast, secure and of course we believe that the watermark is not audible for most users. The project page provides the documentation and source code as well as some audio demos, so you can check whether you hear a difference between original and watermarked files. Cu...

Linux SonivoxEAS v1.4.1 released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

This project is a Linux MIDI Synth library based on the Sonivox EAS Synthesizer published by Google on the Android Open Source Project. It is a real time MIDI wave table GM synthesizer and SMF player without needing external soundfonts, using embedded samples instead. It consumes very little resources, so it may be indicated in Linux projects for small devices. The library uses ALSA Sequencer MIDI input and PulseAudio output. Complete compile-time dependencies are: * Qt5 / Qt6 * Drumstick 2, for ALSA MIDI input. * PulseAudio, for audio output. The project contains: * cmdlnsynth: Command line sample program using the synthesizer library * guisynth: GUI sample program using the synthesizer library * libsvoxeas: The Linux synthesizer shared library, using ALSA Sequencer and PulseAudio * sonivox: The AOSP source files as a git submodule, or an external shared library dependency: https://github.com/pedrolcl/sonivox Changes: * Some general fixes - fixed guisynth underlinking. - fixed program icon in KDE+Wayland. * Fixed tickets: #3 and #4 - allow to build with Qt6 without mixing Qt5 libs. - errors initializing ALSA, Pulse and Sonivox emit qFatal. * Fixed ticket #2 - icon.png file was installed in the wrong place. - added the original SVG icon, and two other icon sizes. * Linked to the shared sonivox library instead of the static one Copyright (C) 2016-2022 Pedro López-Cabanillas. https://github.com/pedrolcl/Linux-SonivoxEas/releases/tag/v1.4.1 Regards, Pedro

Qtractor 0.9.28 - A Late-Summer'22 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, Qtractor 0.9.28 (late-summer'22) is released! Change-log:: - Complete overhaul of the current host time(base)/BBT information delivered to plug-in types that matter: VST, VST3, CLAP and LV2. - Improved key-signature editing and display on Tempo Map / Markers (time-scale) management dialog. - Fixed plugin selection, when creating and switching initial track type, from audio to MIDI and vice-versa. - Fixed typos and updated some old MIDI GM2 Controller names. - Add current system user-name to the singleton/unique application instance identifier (when explicitly opted in at build configure time). 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.
