Open Source Audio Meeting in Cologne, Germany (User Group)

by Nils Gey

Dear musicians, programmers and normal people, I plan to create a user group, a regular meeting, in my home town Cologne, in Germany. The first meeting ever will be already on June 18th, 19:00. After that every two month or so. There are more dates on the website (see below). Here is a brief website with all the necessary information. http://cologne.linuxaudio.org/ (Any language is welcome but the chances are that most people will be from the area and therefore speak German. So the page is in German) If you intend to come you can put your name on this etherpad, but this is not required. Anybody can show up. http://yourpart.eu/p/linuxaudio-cologne Topics will be unorganized Q&A, showing off programs and music, sharing knowledge and tips and hopefully one day shorter or longer presentations, tutorials, workshops etc. I expect most people to use Linux but any OS is welcome, therefore I named it just "Open Source Audio" and not Linux Audio. So if you are in the area please join us! If you are not in the area but know people in the area, please tell them. Greetings, Nils http://cologne.linuxaudio.org/ http://www.nilsgey.de P.S. Despite the domain saying linuxaudio.org this is an independently and privately organized event. It is not intended to replace or get in conflict with the Linux Audio Conference.

Aqualung 1.0-rc1 released today

by Tom Szilagyi

Aqualung is an advanced music player for GNU/Linux (also running on other UNIX-alikes). It plays audio CDs, internet radio streams and podcasts as well as regular soundfiles in just about any audio format and has the feature of inserting absolutely no gaps between adjacent tracks. Aqualung R-1300 has been released today as 1.0-rc1, as the first milestone in an anticipated (short) series of release candidates leading to the final 1.0 release of Aqualung. With this release, we celebrate 10 years of Aqualung! This release contains changes from the last 2 years and 4 months -- and, as you may imagine, has been long long overdue. It would not have been possible to make it to this point without the work of core devs Jamie Heilman, Jeremy Evans and Peter Szilagyi, as well as numerous contributors who sent us patches, bugreports, translations and encouragement. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you. A condensed selection of changes that went into this release is available in the ChangeLog, directly accessible at: http://aqualung.factorial.hu/ChangeLog The release tarball is available from SourceForge mirrors: http://sourceforge.net/projects/aqualung/files/aqualung/1.0-rc1/ For further info please visit the Aqualung homepage: http://aqualung.factorial.hu Enjoy, Tom

Yoshimi V 1.2.1 released

by Will Godfrey

Tarball on sourceforge. There are a number of small tweaks under the bonnet, mostly to aid compilation. There are new drum sounds from Dario Straulino, and an alternative SVG desktop icon from Andrew Ter-Grigoryan (sorry it too so long). The most significant (although quite small) change is in settings - the option to enable a part when doing a MIDI program change. This means you can start up a 'bare' yoshimi, and, provided your banks are well organised, load whatever patches to whatever part you like, from any bank entirely from a sequencer, or suitably capable hardware synth/controller. Bank changes are always silent, and program changes are if you only change a part that is not actually sounding at that time. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

ANN: 2014 Spring DISIS event

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Apologies for cross-posting... With great pleasure I am pleased to announce DISIS spring event of 2014. As part of the ICAT Day, VT Institute for Creativity, Arts and Technology (ICAT) and School of Performing Arts' Digital Interactive Sound and Intermedia Studio (DISIS) presents its Spring Showcase, a part of the "Digital iD" performance series featuring an evening of multisensory performances that fit no preexisting form or template. The event will feature the Kandinsky Trio and guest artist Chris McCormick, Virginia Tech faculty artists Ivica Ico Bukvic, Lee Heuermann, Eric Lyon, and Charles Nichols, Virginia Tech's Linux Laptop Orchestra (L2Ork), and students engaged in the DISIS and Cinema curricula. Also on the concert is a performance of Terry Riley's "In C," played telematically between musicians at Virginia Tech and Stanford University. Using JackTrip software, the two schools will stream audio across the continent, allowing the distributed musicians to perform together in real time. "Digital iD" offers an exploration of synergies among music, technology, arts, gesture, collaboration, interactivity, and ultimately community. The event is free and open to the public.

Qtractor 0.6.1 & Vee One Suite 0.4.2 - A pre-LAC beta release frenzy!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Howdy! As a pre-LAC release frenzy, Qtractor 0.6.1 (bitsy sweet beta) is out! the change-log for this release are mainly fixes: - New user preference option added as View/Options.../Display/Transport/Hold auto-scrolling (follow play-head) on edits (after requests by Holger Marzen and Louigi Verona, thanks). - All color chooser dialogs were missing proper titles. - Audio peak file re-generation and clean-up has been hopefully fixed and cache optimized (re. drawing audio clip waveforms). - Fixed initial session snap-per-beat setting on main toolbar. - Clip/Export...'ed files are now made persistent, no questions asked (after a ticket by Oliver Kester, thanks). - Portuguese (pt) translation added (by Esteban Viveros, thanks). The Vee One Suite of old-school also gets an interesting update. changes for the third proto-beta release are: - Badly named 'Noise' wave-shape oscillators get their band-limited treat option and re-labeled as 'Rand' (synthv1 only); also a brand new wave-shape 'Noise' is then introduced (now for real :)). - New user preference option, cf. Help/Use native dialogs. - An anti-denormal regression applied to the Phaser fx stage (affecting early proto-beta >= 0.4.0). all still available in dual form, as usual: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session, NSM (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support; - a LV2 instrument plugin. Remember that both Qtractor and the Vee One Suite are free and open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.
