Qtractor 1.3.0 - An Early-Fall'24 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Cheers everyone, Qtractor 1.3.0 (early-fall'24) is released! Change-log: - Use timebase-aware JACK API for relocation; provide `bar_start_tick` in JACK Transport/Timebase BBT information. - Always reset the target bus when copying or moving an Aux-Send insert into an audio output bus. - Mixer: fixed dangling track removal after one of its buses has been previously deleted." - Fixed MIDI clip offset resizing, most especially when drag-moving the left-edge. - Audio Aux-sends inserted on audio output buses are not restricted to later buses anymore; the only restriction now is that no cyclic or loop-back routes are allowed; audio output buses are now sorted internally in-place for correct processing order. - Update all Aux-Send inserts whenever their respective output bus gets renamed or deleted. - User preference option View/Options.../General/Options/Reverse keyboard modifiers role (Shift/Ctrl), now also applying to the play-head and/or edit-head/tail re-positioning in the timeline. - Plug-in name/title alias makes its debut. - Fixed a partial port-name filtering issue on the MIDI Connections widget. - Last selected automation curve color is now persistent and the default for all later automation curves. - Connections: connector line colors are now uniquely mapped on a (readable/output) client name basis. 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.

LAC 2025: Linux Audio Conference 2025 (Lyon, France, June 28-28, 2025) -- Call for Contributions

by Romain Michon

[sorry for cross-posting, please distribute widely] Hi folks, After a few "quiet" post-covid years, Linux Audio Conference is returning in 2025 (https://jimlac25.inria.fr/lac/)! It will take place in Lyon (France) on June 26-28, 2025 under the hospices of Inria, INSA Lyon, and GRAME-CNCM. It will be preceded by the "Journées de l'Informatique Musicale (JIM)" which will also happen in Lyon (June 23-25, 2025). LAC 2025 welcomes scientific, technical, and artistic contributions. It is free and as open as possible. In that regard, we slightly adapted the call below to encourage submissions by people outside of the academic community. While it is possible to submit academic papers (that will be peer-reviewed and published in the LAC 2025 proceedings), open presentations, not necessarily connected to a paper, can be proposed as well. We look forward to seeing you in Lyon in June! *Important Dates *- March 24, 2025: Paper submission deadline - April 18, 2025: Review deadline - April 25, 2025: Notification of acceptance - May 23, 2025: Camera-Ready version deadline - June 23-25, 2025: Journées de l'Informatique Musicale (JIM) - June 26-28, 2025: Linux Audio Conference (LAC) *Call for Papers / Presentations / Demos / Workshops* LAC 2025 invites submissions of papers, presentations, and workshops addressing all areas of audio processing based on Linux and open source software. All submissions and presentations are in English. Submissions can focus on technical, artistic, and/or scientific issues and target developers and/or users. This includes (but is not limited to) the following categories: - Audio and Music Languages - Audio and AI - Audio Hardware Support - Audio Plugins - Drivers, System and Sound Architecture - Education and E-Learning - Games - Interactive Art - Interface Design - Live Coding - Live Performance - Media Art - MIDI, OSC... - Mobile Audio - Music Composition - Music Production - Networked Audio - Physical Computing - Projects Realized using Linux Audio - Realtime Kernel and Linux Distributions - Signal Processing and Sound Synthesis - Sound Spatialization - Standards and Protocols - Video - Etc. *Full Papers* Full papers must be written and presented in English. The length of papers is 4 to 8 pages, with up to 5 keywords, including an abstract of up to 200 words. The abstract will be published on the conference website once the paper has been accepted. Full papers will be available on the website during the conference, and after in the proceedings (which will be published with an ISBN number). All papers are peer reviewed by a committee of experts from different disciplines. Reviewers may suggest improvements to the author(s), require changes in order to accept the submission, or reject it. Full papers will be presented during the conference as in-person oral presentations. *Presentations Without an Associated Paper *LAC 2025 welcomes oral presentations not associated to a peer-reviewed paper published in the conference proceedings. Such presentations are selected by the scientific committee, based on a abstract up to 500 words, with up to 5 keywords. No full paper is required in this category. The abstract will be available on the website during and after the conference. Presentations in this category have the same format as full paper presentations and will hence be presented during the conference as in-person oral presentations. *Demos *Demos are informal project (e.g., plug-in, software, interface, idea, etc.) presentations that will be carried out between the papers presentation sessions. *Workshops *Workshop presentations (max duration of 2h) should be 1-4 pages, with up to 5 keywords, including an abstract of up to 150 words to be published on the conference website. Make sure that your proposal indicates if participants are expected to have a specific level, if there are prerequisites, if you'd like to limit the number of participants, if you have specific technical requirements, etc *Call for Music * We invite submissions of electronic, electroacoustic and mixed music as well as interactive art installations with an emphasis on open source software. A jury will select the compositions and performances to be included in the LAC 2025 conference program according to artistic merit and technical feasibility. Applicants should expect to perform their work themselves and have all resources needed to perform the piece if selected (e.g., instruments, props, other performers, etc.). *Concert Venues* The LAC 2025 musical program will consist of three concerts, two of which will take place at Le Théâtre Astrée (https://theatre-astree.univ-lyon1.fr/qui-sommes-nous/), a concert hall equipped with an 8.4 sound system. For this venue, we are particularly interested in electronic / computer music pieces that will leverage the multichannel set up. The third concert will take place at Le Sucre (https://le-sucre.eu/le-lieu/), an event that will host live coding sets and other performances devised for a night club setting with stereo diffusion. *How to Submit Your Work?* Please, visit the lac website for additional information on how to submit your contribution to LAC 2025: https://jimlac25.inria.fr/lac/ *Contact* For any questions, feel free to contact us at jimlac25(a)grame.fr

Vee One Suite 1.1.2 - An Early-Fall'24 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again, The 'Vee One Suite', the so called 'gang-of-four' 'old-school' software instruments, * synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer; * samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer; * drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler; * padthv1 [4] a polyphonic additive synthesizer. Are here released for the northern Early-Fall'24 season... All delivered in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non/New Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Change-log: - Configure: apply Frame/Time display format and Use GM Standard drum names options immediately on acceptance, no need to restart the application to take effect anymore. (samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] resp.) - Configure: disable widget style option on LV2 plug-ins only, for which it wasn't working on the JACK stand-alones either. The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later. **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 1.1.2 (early-fall'24) is out! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.
