The Ardour team is happy to announce the release of Ardour 3.0 for Linux systems (OS X releases will follow in a few weeks) This is the first release of Ardour that features support for MIDI recording, playback and editing. It also features a huge number of changes to audio workflow, which for many users may be more significant than the MIDI support. For an overview of the changes, please read the What's New page at http://ardour.org/whatsnew.html Please Plan On Updating ------------------------------- You should visit expect subsequent releases of 3.0 to follow at a rapid rate. We plan to release a new version every 2-4 weeks. Since 3.0 has many areas that need to be improved in addition to actual bugs, please plan on upgrading and keeping track of the program as it develops. There is every chance that the problem you encounter today will be solved in a short time. No Need To Remove Other Versions --------------------------------------------- This release can be installed on your system at the same time as any previous or future version of Ardour. They will not interfere with each other in anyway, except for possibly sharing your Ardour preferences. Working with 2.X Sessions -------------------------------- Although Ardour 3.0 will open most sessions created with Ardour 2.X, we recommend NOT working on such sessions with Ardour 3.0. Ardour 2.X will continue to be available and may even see occasional maintainance updates from time to time. If you have old sessions, continue to work on them with Ardour 2. If you insist on opening existing Ardour 2.X sessions with 3.0, be aware that... - a backup copy of the 2.X version of the session file will be created - panning information will be lost - crossfades may not precisely match their 2.X counterparts - once you save a session in Ardour 3.0, Ardour 2.X will not be able to open the main session file again. It will, however, be able to use the backup that 3.0 created Download ------------ As usual, you can get Ardour 3.0 from our Download page at http://ardour.org/download

[LAA] Vee One Suite 0.3.2 - One third bug-fix release

by Rui Nuno Capela

hi again, as they use to say--'round here at least--there's no second without a third. So there it goes, yet another batch for the Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments being thrown out to the wild. Usual suspects include synthv1 [1], a polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 [2], a polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 [3], a drum-kit sampler. same as before, they come in a duality of forms: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support; - a LV2 instrument plugin. now, the (boring) bill of changes follows: - pitch-bend, modwheel and LFO pitch range internal fixes. - LV2 state save flags now forced to be portable POD. - sustain/damper pedal switch (MIDI CC#64) support added. (synthv1, samplv1) - color palette hack on Qt5 dark themes. (TESTING) all free, open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. enjoy && have fun!

[LAA] Laborejo 0.5: Container, Collection, Parts

by Nils Gey

Laborejo, Esperanto for "Workshop", is used to craft music through notation. It is a Lilypond GUI frontend, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection to inspire and help you compose. It works by reducing music-redundancy and by seperating layout and data. Before you read the details make sure to connect to Laborejos Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus! https://www.facebook.com/Laborejo https://twitter.com/#!/Laborejo https://plus.google.com/b/116744898976321238325/ Screenshot: http://www.laborejo.org/latestscreenshot.png and: http://laborejo.org/Screenshots This marks the release of version 0.5 Download: https://github.com/nilsgey/Laborejo/tarball/0.5 Dependencies: http://www.laborejo.org/Download Linux Instructions: Unpack, cd into the created directoy, start the GUI Editor with: ./laborejo-qt and the Collection Editor with: ./laborejo-collection-editor Then use the number- and cursor keys for immediate success! Check Help->Manual for navigational and note/rest entry keys. Everything else is in the menus. Important New Features: * Laborejo Collections: A new file format (.lbj), editable by the new GUI tool "Laborejo Collection Editor" or with a text-editor, because it is very easy. * Combine several score files (.lbjs) into a bigger one during export: Multi-movement symphonies, songbooks, collections of your band songs in one pdf etc. * Doesn't touch your actual music data but reformats for the new format and can add extra information like piece-numbering, transposition of the whole music and more. * Load a lbj file in the standard Score editor to open all used .lbjs files. * Can also combine several .lbjs scores into one, seamlessly. If you like to write long, progressive rock pieces with no breaks (in the music or pdf) you can still edit and keep them in separate pieces. Just keep the names of the tracks the same in each lbjs file. * Can use different templates (Lilypond, Ardour3 etc. layout and style files) and override the original score file template. * Part Extraction / Voice Extraction (aka. Custom Export): * Create multiple PDFs or MIDI files from one .lbjs. Does not touch your music, all automated. Simply choose a parameter as extract basis (Track, Group, Instrument, a special Extract parameter for complete individual control [recommended]) and hit "Export". * Can be combined with Collections! Combine your songs into a song collection and then export parts, one songbook/PDF for the guitarist, one songbook for the bassist. The singer and the drummer can't read notes, though. * Collapse/Shrink Tracks to save space. * Reverse Selections by 1.simply reverse order 2.reverse only pitch 3. reverse only rhythm * Non-Transparent Containers. Can contain any objects, represented by a colored "block" in the GUI. Editable in its own windows. Screenshot: http://www.laborejo.org/dl3&display * Edit any container (including transparent containers, whole tracks and substitutions) in its own tab. * Mini Lilypond Parser so you can insert notes by a script, using Lilypond syntax (just the music, no ornaments, no scheme functions) * And of course the usual GUI improvements, bug fixes and stability improvements. Greetings, Nils Gey http://www.laborejo.org
