Radium is a music editor with a new and better interface.
It's inspired by trackers, but has fewer limitations and uses graphics
to show musical data. Radium has been developed since 1999
and has a ton of features.
Homepage: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/
Most important changes 1.9.31 -> 1.9.33:
===============================
* Pitch glide between notes. Implemented for the Pd instrument, the
sampler instrument and all the Physical modelling instruments.

* Fixed memory corruption in blocklist when name of block was longer than 20 (!)
* Use standard paths for LADSPA plugins if LADSPA_PATH is not set
* Give message if a plugin generates abnormal signals, plus zero the signal.
* menues: Be more intelligent about which program to open
keybindings.conf/menues.conf/externals_list.txt with.

cut/copy/paste data (to cut/copy/paste between different pd
instances))

**Munk!, a jazz/ska/funk band from Groningen, The Netherlands, has
released an album made with free software, The Magnetophon Sessions.
During the hot part of summer 2013, Munk! stayed at the cultural
freezone Landbouwbelang in Maastricht (The Netherlands) for a week and
recorded seven new tracks in the unique and inspiring studio
Magnetophon. During the recordings we played with the whole band at
once, to get the most musical results. All tracks are
one-take-recordings, no edits where made when mixing the album.
The Magnetophon Sessions is produced with opensource and free software
on GNU/Linux.
Most notably: Ardour2 for recording and mixing, LADSPA plugins for
mixing, Gimp for graphics, Lives for video art.
Recorded & mixed by Bart Brouns at Studio Magnetophon Maastricht

Our advise on price for the digital download would be in the range of 5
-- 10 euro, but there's no minimum or maximum, so feel free, thanks for
your support!

The development team of Musix GNU+Linux is proud to present version 3.0 Release Candidate 1 after
11 months of work since the last version 3.0 Beta, and after 4 years since the last stable
version 2.0. RC1 was released to get reports from users but it’s almost a final release. We
updated more than 300 programs from Debian Wheezy, re-installed kde-full, Rakarrack, Jamin,
Blender and various other programs for artistic creation. MusixControl works only in terminal,
but that will be resolved soon. Icewm desktop, KDE and Lxde are tailored to activities (office,
audio, MIDI, graphics, etc.) The Kernel 3.4.14-gnu-RT23 is 100% free as well as all software in
Musix and operates in real time for audio and music apps.
Special mention to the developers Ariel Errera , Carlos Sanchiavedraz , Gilberto Borges , Daniel
Vidal , Javier Llorente , Pablo Sastre , Pablo Lozano , Jose Vazquez Viader , Suso Comesaña ,
Mariano Ibaldi , Claudio Caldas , Martin Carr and Jacobo Najera (sorry if forget someone) to have
accompanied the project during this 2013 even with wide swings and the low availability of free
time.
Musix GNU+Linux 3.0 is based on Debian GNU/Linux 7.2 “Wheezy”

Hi folks,
I have been developing a suite of audio plugins using LV2 and LADSPA
open formats.
I am happy to announce that they are in working order and released on
Github at the address:
http://github.com/zamaudio
The suite so far consists of:
ZamAutoSat - Automatic saturation plugin
ZamComp - Mono Compressor plugin*
ZamCompX2 - Stereo Compressor plugin*
ZamCompExp - Stereo Compressor/Expander plugin
ZamEQ2 - 2x parametric EQ (with high/lowshelf and HP/LP) plugin
ZamValve - Valve distortion (WDF physical model* or tanh*) plugin
NB * In the same git repo under a different branch
The purpose of these plugins is to provide high quality DSP without
using an excessive amount of CPU, in an attempt to complement some of
the amazing work done on other free audio software projects by other
people. There is an exception: ZamValve has two different models one of
which uses very large proportion of CPU but has been commented that it
does sound much more realistic than the tanh model. The CPU hungry
version is in a separate git branch and is not selected by default but
can be compiled by switching to the zamvalve branch.
There currently is no documentation on how to use these plugins, but
anyone who is familiar with outboard gear should be able to work it out.
Plus the default settings and almost every slider is calibrated to
standard ranges.
Thanks to naptastic on #lad for the auto saturation algorithm.
Also, thanks to others in #lad for very useful input since I started
writing these plugins.
The rest of the algorithms were from DSP papers I have been reading from
my library subscription and I have mish-mashed a number of different
ones together to make these plugins function as expected.
Please send me feedback on my blog if you want to discuss these plugins:
http://www.zamaudio.com/?p=870
I would like to know how to improve them and appreciate all comments.
Thanks,
Damien Zammit
Here's the 4th interview of The Friday Interview, this week starring
Jonathan Liles, the author of the modular DAW Non. He also recently
released an album that he effectively made with his own software.
Check it out!

Hi all,
I just realized that I have never properly announced midifilter.lv2,
so here it goes:
midifilter.lv2 are a collection of LV2 plugins to filter MIDI events
released in terms of the GPLv2.
The source-code can be found at
https://github.com/x42/midifilter.lv2
Thanks for Jaromír Mikeš they are available in debian (and derived
distributions) in the 'x42-plugins' package.
Kudos to Thomas Brand who started documenting them at
http://gareus.org/oss/lv2/midifilter - much of the documentation has
meanwhile been integrated into the plugins themselves and is displayed
by LV2-hosts who support built-in doc.
So far it features 23 filters:
* Channel Filter -- discard messages per Channel
* Channel Map -- map any MIDI-channel to another MIDI-channel
* Enforce Scale -- force midi notes on given musical scale
* Eventblocker -- notch style message filter.
* Keyrange -- discard notes-on/off events outside an give range
* Keysplit -- change midi-channel number depending on note
(and optionally transpose)
* Mapscale -- flexible 12-tone map
* Chord -- harmonizer - create chords from a single note in a given
musical scale
* Delay -- delay MIDI events with optional radomization
* Dup -- unisono - duplicate MIDI events from one channel to another
* Strum -- arpeggio effect intended to simulate strumming a stringed
instrument (e.g. guitar)
* Transpose -- chromatic transpose MIDI notes
* Legato -- Hold a note until the next note arrives
* NoSensing -- strip MIDI Active-Sensing events
* NoDup -- MIDI duplicate blocker. Filter out overlapping note on/off
and duplicate messages.
* NoteToggle -- toggle notes: play a note to turn it on, play it again
to turn it off.
* nTabDelay -- repeat notes N times (incl tempo-ramps)
* Passthru -- no operation (example plugin)
* Quantize -- live midi event quantization
* Velocity Randomizer -- randomly change velocity of note-on events
* Sostenuto -- delay note-off messages, emulate a piano sostenuto pedal
* Velocity Range -- filter MIDI note events according to velocity.
* Velocity Scale -- modify note velocity by constant factor and offset
As usual, any feedback is welcome.
enjoy,
robin

I'm pleased to announce the release of my debut album, Sad Pretty
Girl. I've been making music privately for a while, but this is the
first time I've published any of it. I spent the last couple of years
recording, mixing and mastering this album (engineered in stereo
compatible Ambisonics UHJ surround format).
It's been a difficult journey--spanning a decade of time, thousands of
miles, and more than a few broken hearts--and the time has come to
share it with you.
http://jonliles.bandcamp.com/album/sad-pretty-girl
----
This album was recorded and produced digitally on GNU/Linux using only
free/libre software, most of which I wrote myself
(http://non.tuxfamily.org), but also using JACK, various LADSPA
plugins, jconvolver, ambdec and other great Linux Audio tools.
