Version 2.3.0 - Painted Bunting There's been a major overhaul of the graphics for better visibility. We've added a very complete user-definable colour theme system. There is indication when any rotary control or slider is not at its default. Many controls are now high resolution yet both forward and backward compatible with older Yoshimi versions. All the documentation has been revised. Full details are in /doc/Yoshimi_2.3.0_features.txt 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 {apparently now an 'elderly'}

spectmorph-0.6.0

by Stefan Westerfeld

spectmorph-0.6.0 has been released. The new main features are: - SpectMorph now provides a CLAP plugin. - A filter with different filter modes was added. - A new, more flexible modulation system was added. - SpectMorph now provides visual feedback for modulated parameters. Video Tutorial for 0.6.0: https://youtu.be/watch?v=scKrf0o6e6k What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be combined using morphing. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2.1 or later Integrating SpectMorph into your Work ------------------------------------- SpectMorph is currently available for Linux, Windows and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), with CLAP/LV2/VST plugins. Under Linux, there is also JACK Support. Links: ------ Website: http://www.spectmorph.org Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing between instruments. List of Changes in SpectMorph 0.6.0: ------------------------------------ #### New features * New, more flexible modulation system * Added filter with different filter modes * Provide visual feedback for modulated properties * Provide signed .pkg installers for macOS (Intel and ARM) #### CLAP Plugin * Provide CLAP Plugin * Support for per-voice modulation * Support timestamped modulation/automation events #### LV2 Plugin * Support LV2 on all platforms * Fix crashes triggered by Carla (absolute_path/abstract_path returning NULL) * Support newer LV2 development headers #### Minor Changes * Support "Velocity" as modulation source * Make pitch bend range configurable * New Presets with filter: "Cheese Cake Bass", "Liquid Silver" * Sort midi events by timestamp to workaround Bitwig bug * Sliders now support shift+drag for fine editing * Support for Apple Silicon * Avoid crashes if XOpenIM / XCreateIC return NULL (#15). * Fix statically linked plugin data directory location (works in flatpak apps now). * Add dockerized MXE builds for windows, bump compiler version to gcc-12. * Bump minimum C++ standard to C++17 * Fix build on RISC-V (#13) * Use GitHub CI for Linux, macOS and Windows * Change license from "LGPL v3 or later" to "LGPL v2.1 or later". * Minor fixes and cleanups #### Internals: Properties * Add generic property handling * Simplify load/save/gui for properties * Support modulatable properties using ModulationList * Add gui for editing property value and ModulationList * MorphPlan is no longer ref-counted, just one instance per Project * Introduced MorphOperatorConfig objects for cleaner/faster parameter updates #### Internals: Filter * Add two filter types: "Ladder" and "Sallen-Key" filter to output operator * Integrated PandaResampler for SIMD 4x filter oversampling * Support modulation with high time resolution for filter #### Internals: UI Toolkit * Support multiple update regions in UI toolkit * Optimize drawing for UI toolkit * Support "software sprites" for efficient visual feedback * Map Ctrl+Left Click to Right Click on macOS #### Internals: Optimizations * Pass wav set pointers (instead of strings) to morph linear/grid/source. * Avoid fmod() for phase truncation. * Build using -ffast-math * NotifyBuffer: fast dsp thread -> ui thread notifications (no malloc in dsp thread) * Avoid allocations in dsp thread in many cases (retrigger, noise decoder process) * Support optimized SIMD code on ARM (Apple Silicon), code from Peter Johnson (#11) -- Stefan Westerfeld, http://space.twc.de/~stefan

QMidiArp 0.7.0 released

by Frank Kober

Hi all, The 0.7.0 release of QMidiArp now ships with new LV2 plugin UIs based on the robtk toolkit by Robin Gareus for the first time. The UIs will get installed in parallel to the original X11 UIs that were still based on Qt. The new robtk plugin UIs are independent of Qt and do not link to system-provided libraries whose API changes frequently. For building them you need some new fellows though: glu, gl, cairo, pango and pangocairo headers are now required. The cmake or configure script will tell you. Note that with the new UIs, arpgeggiator patterns cannot be edited. But, the provided presets can of course be selected in the LV2 host. If needed you can add new patterns for the LV2 Arp module manually by editing the <lv2dir>/qmidiarp_arp.lv2/qmidiarp_arp.ttl file, presets are at the end of the file. All other modules and functions should work as before.
