xwax 1.4 release

by Mark Hills

I'm pleased to announce the latest release of xwax -- DJ software for Linux. http://xwax.org/ http://xwax.org/releases/xwax-1.4.tar.gz New features include a fully scalable UI for high-res displays, 'software pre-amp' and some smaller fixes. xwax is open-source vinyl emulation software for Linux. It allows DJs and turntablists to playback digital audio files (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC and more), controlled using a normal pair of turntables via timecoded vinyls. It's designed for both beat mixing and scratch mixing. Needle drops, pitch changes, scratching, spinbacks and rewinds are all supported, and feel just like the audio is pressed onto the vinyl itself. The focus is on an accurate vinyl feel which is efficient, stable and fast. -- Mark

balance.lv2

by Robin Gareus

I'm happy to announce balance.lv2. balance.lv2 is a LV2 audio-plugin for stereo balance control with optional per channel delay released in terms of the GPLv2. https://github.com/x42/balance.lv2 balance.lv2 facilitates adjusting stereo-microphone recordings (X-Y, A-B, ORTF). But it also generally useful as "Input Channel Conditioner". It allows for attenuating the signal on one of the channels as well as delaying the signals (move away from the microphone). To round off the feature-set channels can be phase-inverted, swapped and the signal can be downmixed to mono. It features a Phase-Correlation meter as well as peak programme meters according to IEC 60268-18 (5ms integration, 20dB/1.5 sec fall-off) for input and output signals. balance.lv2 is *not* a panner. Even though the controls can be linked, the stereo signal paths are completely independent (except for the down-mix to mono output routing option). Many thanks to Chris 'oofus' Goddard who inspired the current signal flow, beta-tested the plugin and provided very valuable feedback. Greetings to Jörn Nettingsmeier who nagged me about not having a proper balance controller in Ardour and motivated this project in the first place. yours truly, robin

setBfree - DSP tonewheel organ

by Robin Gareus

It's been a while since the last announcement.. so here it goes: setBfree v0.7.2 is out setBfree is a MIDI-controlled, software synthesizer designed to imitate the sound and properties of the electromechanical organs and sound modification devices that brought world-wide fame to the names and products of Laurens Hammond and Don Leslie. http://setbfree.org https://github.com/pantherb/setBfree The list of changes since the last announcement (0.5) is quite long. The most prominent new feature is a GUI for the LV2 plugin. The GUI provides for bi-directional MIDI communication. The graphical representation follows external controls and the UI can be used to control automated faders/drawbars from the UI which is particularly useful when recalling presets/programs. The LV2 GUI also allows to easily create midi-maps and preset-program which are compatible with the file-format of the standalone setfree application. On that note, we'd like to collect commonly used presets (.pgm) as well as midi-map (.cfg) files. Please help us out at https://github.com/pantherb/setBfree/issues/5 In other news, setBfree now.. * honors midi-panic (all notes/sound off) * generate midmap files corresponding to current config * LV2 saves/recalls its complete state * can be reconfigured completely on the fly * is played by pro organ players in at least 2 churches * ... happy playing, robin + will PS. there is a known problem with LV2 midi-buffersize for jack1 users. if you run jack1, you do need a LV2 host that supports http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/resize-port -- this includes jalv.gtk from last week (svn rev 5114), ardour3 since 3.1-95-gcc8dafa and the mod-host.

Laborejo Release version 0.8 (More of the same - Only better)

by Nils Gey

Laborejo 0.8 is released We are still in Beta. Streamlining, fixing and making things more robust is the main feature. However, there are a few new features: - Swing for Playback mode. In the Performance Signature. - More preview and export options, especially for Lilypond - Jack Transport start and stop sync. (Update calfbox as well!) - "Did you know" help screen and splash dialog (optional) There is a 0.85 release planned which will deal with making containers, selections and undo work together properly and implementing the last small features on my todo-list. After 0.85 the plan is to work on speeding up the performance and writing documentation and translations. And the usual bugfixes of course. This will transition smoothly into a stable 1.0 release Since Laborejo now becomes more useful and usable with each release it became fair to accept donations. There is now an extra donation page on the website. Please have a look. Your support would be much appreciated: http://laborejo.org/Donation Latest Screenshot: http://www.laborejo.org/latestscreenshot.png Download Page: http://laborejo.org/Download Greetings, Nils Gey Contact: http://laborejo.org/Support_and_Community

Qtractor 0.5.9 - The Juliet Quebec release

by Rui Nuno Capela

As an anticipated summer delight... Qtractor 0.5.9 (juliet quebec) is now released! Release highlights: * NSM support (NEW) * Audio buses plugin state restoration (FIX) * MIDI channel file merge/export (FIX) * MIDI editor rescale mode (NEW) * German translation (NEW) Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor/files - source tarball: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.9.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 12.3): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.9-6.rncbc.suse123.sr… - binary packages (openSUSE 12.3): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.9-6.rncbc.suse123.i5… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.9-6.rncbc.suse123.x8… - quick start guide & user manual: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.x-user-manual.pdf Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Auto-incremental version numbering of backup session files; brand new versioning mode option added. - Fixed one long as ever MIDI file export bug, which was about washing all self-induced MIDI bank-select (CC#0, CC#32) and program-change (PC#) events into MIDI channel 1, regardless of the source track/channel. - Fixed initial sample-rate settlement on plugin chains for all tracks and buses whenever a session file original sample-rate differs from the current audio device engine (ie. JACK). - New German (de) translation added (by Guido Scholz, thanks). - Now accepting JACK transport tempo and time-tignature changes while in slave transport mode. - Fix ref-count and auto-removal of created files that result from clip merge/export when session is closed but not saved. - MIDI track instrument bank/program selection, from plugin UIs that support it, is now effectively and complete. - Custom connections for dedicated audio outputs from all plugin chains in MIDI tracks or buses are back in business, hopefully restored gain on session load (ticket by yuba, thanks). - Track Properties dialog now dirty after any plugin related change (another head-up by yuba, thanks again). - Tempo Map/Markers dialog is not set initially dirty anymore. - Audio buses plugin state's persistence were found AWOL: while being properly saved as usual, were being restored to default on every session reload (as noticed by yuba, thanks). - NSM (Non Session Management) support is being introduced. - The MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) gets a brand new rescale mode: ctrl+dragging the right edge of a note now rescales all times and duration of all the subsequent selected notes (after an interesting idea/ticket by Joel Leclerc, thanks). - The new MIDI clip editor rescale mode also applicable to event values (eg. note velocities, pitch-bend), while ctrl+dragging the edges of an event vertical bar. - VST plugin (GUI) idle timer makes a comeback. - Hard-wired LV2 UI selection order for plugins which supply more than one option (lv2_external_ui gets always honored first then, as provided via libsuil, X11, GTK and last but not least, Qt4).

gst123-0.3.3

by Stefan Westerfeld

gst123-0.3.3 has been released. Overview of changes in gst123-0.3.3: ------------------------------------ * Fix Issue 10: Local files not properly escaped when converted to URLs * Added "-k, --skip=<n>" option: skip first 'n' seconds [Tobias Bengfort] What is gst123? --------------- The program gst123 is designed to be a more flexible command line player in the spirit of ogg123 and mpg123, based on gstreamer. It plays all file formats gstreamer understands, so if you have a music collection which contains different file formats, like flac, ogg and mp3, you can use gst123 to play all your music files. Since gst123-0.1.0 support for watching videos has been added; however gst123 should run fine in situations where no X11 display is available; videos can be played without X11 display, too (-x, --novideo); in this case, only the audio stream will be played. It is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2 Links: ------ Website: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/gst123.php Download: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/gst123/gst123-0.3.3.tar.bz2 -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan

ANN: New Pd-L2Ork x86_64 and Raspberry Pi release now available together with comprehensive how-to

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

It is my great pleasure to announce immediate availability of the latest Pd-L2Ork, its K12 module, as well as the inaugural official version of Pd-L2Ork for the Raspberry Pi platform. The new release is accompanied by a comprehensive documentation on how to connect RPi to the computer as well as run and configure Pd-L2Ork (and its K12 module) for operation on RPi. In addition, as part of this release, the regular Pd-L2Ork install instructions have been also streamlined to make them easier to navigate. Special thanks to NewBlankets Inc. for the Satchmo SuitSup Award that made our RPi hacking efforts possible! For more info visit: http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56 (x86_64 version with updated how-to) http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=2288 (Raspberry Pi version download and how-to) Changelog highlights: *Fixed bug http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2457992&group_id=55 736&atid=478070; hopefully also fixed incorrectly reported hit/selection boxes for nested structs (like the one reported in the previous bug report) *added ability for preset_hub to write/read presets or entire scenes from files. Improved documentation to reflect new additions and to improve existing. *added multi-connect option with 5 different modes: 1. shift-click manual multi-connect 2. two selected objects multiple outlets to multiple inlets 3. two or more selected objects connecting to one unselected one 4. one unselected connecting to multiple selected ones 5. multiple selected ones connecting to one's multiple inlets OR the other way around (determined on whichever mode gives more valid connections) Option 1 requires use of shift. Other options are based on what is selected at the time of making the first connection (others are automatically created based on conditions). Later consider adding special undo that undos all connections in one step, rather than multiple steps. For more info, please see Jonathan's recent email on the pd-list: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2013-05/102871.html *added ability for gop to intelligently detect when iemgui objects fit (or don't) inside gop window. the same also applies to dynamic changes to iemgui properties (size, font, label, delta, position, etc.) *selection box makes patch scroll when reaching patch window edge *Added support for multiline comments (with some help from Taylor O'Connor and Jean-Philippe Ouellet). *disis_wiimote 1.0.4 *added raspbian compile option *improved logic for freeing rtext that alleviates memory leak but also does not crash abstractions and gop objects (there are still memory leaks apparent in l2ork_output~ external which may be linked to individual objects having incomplete free functions). See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3605235&group_id=55736&atid= 478070 for more info *Fixed segfault bugs with ascseq and ascwave externals *fixed memory leak (see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3605235&group_id=55736&atid =478070) *bug fix http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3605973&group_id=55736&atid= 478072 Complete changelog (without the highlights): *backported tcl updates to properly support updated pddplink *fixed segfault when closing array window/subpatch due to lack of checking of valid resize/move hook pointers *added example files for the expanded preset_hub documentation *fixed accelerated displace bug where nested structs did not get properly tagged/selected *fixed erroneous meta file generation script *numerous bug-fixes for mouse down/up and key press combos (e.g. shift-clicks for multiconnect and dragging within an object) *added accelerated displace to pddplink *Made pddplink color match pd-l2ork *cosmetic improvements to Scope~ and coll *improved nlet highlighting (integrated it into glist), fixed bug with multiselect with mixed objects (accelerated and legacy) *improved scrollbar color selection *reintroduced cleaned up version of tooltip arrows *cord inspector is hidden during font scaling *improved font scaling and made cord inspector appearance consistent with tooltips *improved font scaling for size 24 *fixed consistency check error for magicGlass (regression) *fixed k12 shortcuts where secondary menu did not invoke k12 mode *minor fixes to the K12 library *added automatic resize of arrays when adding/removing points via ctrl+click, fixed a bug where array is not properly redrawn after a new point is created *made sure that properties windows associated with a patcher that is being closed are also closed at that time. *added an article to the NaN error report text *improved pow logic to accept negative numbers and deal correctly with NaN situations *added proper getrect support for comment objects *made drag scrolling less cpu hungry and easier to control *cords in front after iemgui properties apply *more scrolling improvements *lowered rate of getscroll when pasting to minimize cpu overhead *fixed random shifting of scroll when duplicating an object *proper fix for the crash when closing one of the many concurrently open root patches *automated installer clean-up for flext *remaining clean-up and flext integration in the intel/rpi build process *dependencies update *updated postlude *improved shortcuts so that pd-l2ork auto-creates midi ports on start-up *support for flext and auto-building of fluid~ and disis_munger~ *fixed bug where select all did not work with Console window focused *fixed regression where windows were not properly raised *improved window placement logic of new pd windows *improvements to disis_wiimote to provide unsuccessful attempt at connecting with an explicit 0 from the connect outlet (version bump to 1.0.4) *fixed stray bugs that were introduced with drawsymbol and resizable fonts and made drawnumber font resizable as well *made drawsymbol a distinct object that properly opens its help file and also supports resizable fonts *added input highlighting ability like that of iemgui's number2 to gatom class *fixed text not getting displaced properly while dragging a scalar (due to incomplete accelerated displace implementation) *fixed segfault due to delayed freeing of bindlists (necessary to prevent a segfault for dynamically changed sends/receives) *improvements to the incremental install script *new/improved icons *fixed typo for the new -r option (RPi build) *Improvements to the disconnection logic to the disis_wiimote *made shortcuts more flexible in terms of startup (not forcing JACK, which will help on setups that don't want/need JACK backend), as well as providing intelligent menu shortcuts for ALSA and JACK *made disis_wiimote statically linked so that new installs do not require install of the custom cwiid library that potentially clashes with other deb-based versions. *fixed regression from IOhannes' proposed fix (see e7acc4796b655100b650f898bb10687fb9f7355d commit) that affects propagation of scalar pointers through the trigger object. Use scalar-help.pd to test. *hopefully improved libglew support due to unfortunately named libs that limit their flexible rollout across different versions of Ubuntu (and likely other distros as well) *hopefully fixed stray iemgui dialog error when returning from the custom color selection dialog *removed unnecessary canvas_vis consistency check *fixed erroneous undo behavior after cutting two objects in a row *updated moonlib to the latest version and made changes to mknob.c to support accelerated displacing with tag *fixed midi dialogs *added ability for select object to recognize bang events *improved IO Error button on/off handling *refinements to the memory leak fix that avoid tripping consistency check in the findrtext *further refined trigger mechanism to offer ability to convert anything->symbol *implemented improvement for empty lists as suggested by IOhannes http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2013-02/101518.html *fixed remaining memory leaks when instantiating/deleting abstractions (see previous commit). *minor adjustments to the binary script-based installer for the pd~ external support. *fixed bug where pd-l2ork symlink for pd~ external did not get installed Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Composition, Music Technology Director, DISIS Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio Director, L2Ork Linux Laptop Orchestra Head, ICAT IMPACT Studio Virginia Tech Dept. of Music - 0240 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-6139 (540) 231-5034 (fax) ico(a)vt.edu http://www.music.vt.edu/faculty/bukvic/
