Dear Linux Audio Musicians and Developers, I'm happy to release today *TourManager* 1.0.0. (GPL) This is not an audio application, but a tool for musicians (and more) to organize gigs and shows. Since it is really musician-related, I think it might be of interest to this group. If not, please excuse this email. Description: TourManager is a tool to help artists, musicians, bookers, and event managers with the organization of shows and events. TourManager wants to be simple and powerful, and it has a lot of tools to help organize your shows efficiently. It has a map to show your venues, a travel costs calculator, notes, statistics, links to locate addresses and get directions, it can generate calendar files for your favorite calendar application, export the upcoming shows into html, and many more useful tools. It will definitely reduce the boring tasks, making the booking processes enjoyable, and even bring multi-user cooperation! Source and binaries: https://github.com/sonejostudios/TourManager I wrote this basically for myself, since I couldn't find a tool like this in the open source/linux ecosystem. I have been using it for a long time, I have more than 160 shows and 150 venues in my database! Finally, I achieved to reach version 1.0.0, which is now available :) I wish you a lot of good organization work with it, plenty of new gigs for the year 2026 and hope it will help you as much as it helps me. If you find any bugs, please reach out! All the best Vince(www.superdirt.net <https://www.superdirt.net/>)

Loopino --Creative Micro-Loop Sampler v0.0.1 released

by Hermann Meyer

*Loopino — Creative Micro-Loop Sampler Now Available* Loopino is a lightweight yet powerful sampler designed for experimental sound design, rhythmic exploration, and fast musical sketching. Load any audio file and instantly slice, extract, and transform it—Loopino lets you isolate multiple micro-loops from a single sample and play them like instruments. At its core, Loopino features a musical architecture built for tone shaping and performance. A built-in Moog-style ladder filter and a flexible “Sharper” saturator add warmth, grit, or bite. Pitch and fundamental frequency control enable precise tuning, while dedicated ADSR envelopes allow expressive dynamics. Save and load your own presets to build a library of playable textures, loops, and sonic ideas. *Key Features* * Load a sample and automatically carve out multiple micro-loops * Per-loop playback, manipulation, and performance * Integrated Moog-style ladder filter for classic analogue character * Sharper module for tonal shaping, saturation & edge * Fundamental frequency control for accurate tuning * ADSR envelope system for dynamic expression * Full preset save/load system for creative workflows *Availability* * *Linux:* Standalone application + CLAP plugin * *Windows:* CLAP plugin Loopino is free, open, and built for musicians, sound designers, and curious audio explorers. Whether you want evolving textures, rhythmic fragments, or new sample-based instruments—Loopino turns any sound into inspiration.

by Stefano D'Angelo

Hi all! We are glad to announce a new release of our A-SID plugin with a more realistic sound engine and a good deal of fixes (especially for nasty crashes on Windows when clicking on web links) and polish. A-SID implements a wah effect as a C64 program and a VST3/LV2 plugin. More info at https://clack.digital/asid. Also, its digital model of the MOS Technology®/Commodore® Semiconductor Group 8580 Sound Interface Device (SID) filter has been released as a Brickworks Pro algorithm (https://www.orastron.com/algorithms/bwp_sid_8580_filt) with separated outputs and is available for licensing. Best regards, Stefano D'Angelo Founder and CEO of Orastron - https://www.orastron.com/
