dkbuilder-guitarix-lv2-plugins-1.0.1 is out

by Dominique Michel

dkbuilder-guitarix-lv2-plugins is a set of LV2 plugins and faust code generated by dkbuilder. 1.0.1 is the initial release and it introduce the Blow Me Amplifier, a set of vacuum tubes guitar preamplifier and head designed to not compromise the sound. Which is relative because when combined to make a complete amplifier, these plugins offer a lot of gain and saturation. The Blow Me is modelled from a real hardware I made that way because I like punchy saturated and clear sounds, and the best way to get dynamic saturated sounds is when the hardware don't compromise or mess with the sonic quality for financial reason. It is under GPL-3. That release contain the gschem schematics and the resulting LV2 and faust code for use with LV2 and XUiDesigner. As the gain is huge, I made versions of these plugins with different volume curves and defaults, which should make them suitable for different use cases like independent LV2 plugins or with guitarix and that, out of the box. https://github.com/domichel/dkbuilder-guitarix-lv2-plugins Enjoy, Dominique

AlsaPlayer 0.99.82 is out

by Dominique Michel

A long awaited release: 0.99.82 I apologize for that delay. I think I miss-understood a message from erikd on the mailing list. The hard work was done by erikd - Erik De Castro Lopo. It consist of a rewrite of the internal of AlsaPlayer in order to suit contemporary coding audio standards with modern computing. https://github.com/alsaplayer/alsaplayer Enjoy, Dominique

Yoshimi 2.3.3.1

by Will Godfrey

And already we have a bugfix release. There were three of them. The first was a failure to test a headless *build* and there was a detail we'd forgotten. The second was not accounting for some less common build environments. The third was a total surprise. It was a bug in effects that goes back at least 6 years and probably further, but only became obvious with the latest EQ display improvements we had made. -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'}

Sonivox Synthesizer Library v3.6.13 has been released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

This project is a fork of the Android Open Source Project 'platform_external_sonivox', including a CMake based build system to be used not on Android, but on any other computer Operating System. Google licensed this work originally named Sonivox EAS (Embedded Audio Synthesis) from the company Sonic Network Inc. under the terms of the Apache License 2.0. Here is the Google source code repository: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/sonivox.git This is a "wavetable" synthesizer, not using external soundfont files but embedded samples instead. It is also a MIDI file player and a real time GM synthesizer. It consumes very little resources, so it may be indicated in projects for small embedded devices. There is neither MIDI input nor audio output facilities included in the library. You need to provide your own input/output. Changes in v3.6.13 * New CI - GitHub workflows * Include directories not correctly exported #16 <https://github.com/pedrolcl/sonivox/issues/16> * Windows 64bit compatibility #17 <https://github.com/pedrolcl/sonivox/pull/17> * New default build option: 44100 audio output and option for max voices #20 <https://github.com/pedrolcl/sonivox/pull/20>. Thanks to @rsp4jack <https://github.com/rsp4jack> * Other build options #22 <https://github.com/pedrolcl/sonivox/issues/22> Project page: https://github.com/pedrolcl/sonivox Downloads: https://github.com/pedrolcl/sonivox/releases/tag/v3.6.13 License: Apache 2.0

Greetings everyone! QjackCtl 1.0.2 (end-of-summer'24) is released!

Ratatouille.lv2 v0.9 released

by Hermann Meyer

Ratatouille is a Neural Model loader and mixer for Linux/Windows. This release add separate Input control for each Model, makes the delay a delta delay, means it allow to delay the first or the second Model, as needed, and implement support for the 'ctrl' key to allow sample accurate settings for the delay to solve phasing issues between the Models. Ratatouille allow to load up to two neural model files and mix there output. Those models could be [*.nam files](https://tonehunt.org/all) or [*.json or .aidax files](https://cloud.aida-x.cc/all). So you could blend from clean to crunch for example, or, go wild and mix different amp models, or mix a amp with a pedal simulation. Ratatouille using parallel processing to process the second neural model and the second IR-File to reduce the dsp load. The "Delay" control could add a small delay to the second model to overcome phasing issues, or to add some color/reverb to the sound. To round up the sound it allow to load up to two Impulse Response files and mix there output as well. You could try the wildest combinations, or, be conservative and load just your single preferred IR-File. Each neural model may have a different expected Sample Rate, Ratatouille will resample the buffer to match that. Impulse Response Files will be resampled on the fly to match the session Sample Rate.
