CAPS 0.9.1
==========
The C* Audio Plugin Suite is a selection of popular effects, unique
filters and generators. For the digital guitarist, CAPS offers a
range of processors recreating the formation of tone in traditional
instrument amplification. Beyond sound quality, central design
considerations are latency-free realtime operation, modest resource
demands and meaningful control interfaces.

This release contains major improvements particularly in the area of
guitar signal processing, notably in the AmpVTS and CabinetIV plugins.
These are the first iterations of the Amp and Cabinet designs that
their author is well and truly happy with. Also worth noting here is
the Compress plugin, a completely new design featuring optional
oversampled soft saturation/limiting.
http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#AmpVTShttp://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#CabinetIVhttp://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#Compresshttp://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#AutoFilter
All plugins have been subject to further development, speedups,
refinement and polishing. In many cases, this has been accompanied by
the consolidation of shared or duplicate functions into a single
circuit; for example, the AutoFilter plugin now fulfills the roles of
the old SweepVF and AutoWah units. Many obsolete plugins have been
removed, and everywhere else, port names, layouts, value ranges,
defaults etc have been changed as well. Upgrading from previous
releases is encouraged nonetheless.
Enjoy!
We are proud to announce the release of guitarix2-0.25.1
Guitarix is a mono tube amplifier simulation for jack, with additional
mono/stereo effect racks witch can be filled with some in-build effects
as well as with external LADSPA plugins.
Download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/
After having some discussions with David Robillard (thanks for your
patience, David) I realize that I need to push out a update in order to
avoid a possible violation of the LV2 specs, so guitarix2-0.25.1 is out,
those how use the last V0.25.0, are strongly recommended to update.

happy new year to all
The Mup music publication program version 6.1 is now available.
Mup produces very high quality PostScript music files,
or MIDI files, based on a text input file.
Mup has been under active development since 1992, and is a
a full featured program that can handle almost any kind of music,
instrumental or vocal, including tablature, shaped notes, guitar grids,
alternate tunings, user defined symbols, transposition,
macros, cross staff stems and beams, and much more.
It handles all layout details automatically,
but also lets the user make adjustments as they wish.
Mup was previously available only as shareware, but
beginning with 6.1 it is now available for free under a BSD-style license.
Version 6.1 includes all features of the previous shareware version,
as well as having a new feature to automatically do gradual MIDI changes.

Greetings,
Yeah. Not much to tell about the times I'm afraid. But let me wish you
all a merry and great new year, following the one which end is nigh.
Just in case you wanna party, feel welcome, by all means:
Qtractor 0.5.7 (hotel sierra) is open, come on in!
Release highlights:
* LV2 Options and Buf-size support (NEW)
* Location markers/bar (NEW)
* MIDI editor line-drawing (NEW)
* Punch & loop recording compatibility (FIX)
* Untangled LV2 UI parameter communication (FIX)
* Dropped libSLV2 support, honoring libLILV for good (FIX)

License:
Qtractor is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms
of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.
Change-log:
- Loop and punch in/out ranges may now get set simultaneously, may even
overlap each other. However, punch in/out range recording will always
prevail over any loop recording takes.
- LV2 Worker/Schedule now supporting multi-instance vs. single-UI scenarios.
- LV2 Options and Buf-size extension support added.
- Fixed an off-by-one-tick bug on MIDI file input which was leaving
spurious zero-length runt notes at the end of a MIDI clip, if a note-on
coincides with the ending/split point (on ticket issued by Jonathan H.
Pickard, thanks).
- Good old SLV2 library support for LV2 plug-ins (libslv2) is now
irrevocably deprecated, or better said, completely wiped-out from the
LV2 host code, now considered extinct.
- LV2 UI parameter updates are now asynchronously detached from the
source GUI widget thread, in attempt to improve cross-GUI-toolkit
responsiveness, specially focused on LV2 plugins with a GTK based UI
(eg. amsynth, triceratops, etc.).
- Make sure LV2 UI parameters (input control ports) get updated when
loading a genuine LV2 state preset.
- Improved the (custom) tempo spin-box widget signal(ing) processing and
dispatching.
- Show proper pointing cursor and location tool-tip while dragging any
of the time ruler markers (including latest location markers/bar).
- On saving as an archive/zip session file (suffix .qtz) include only
those files that are actually referenced by live clips arrangement.
- Ongoing integration of location markers infrastructure (time-scale and
MIDI-file support).
- Free-hand/linear retouching of event values, while on the MIDI clip
editor's view pane below the main piano-roll (eg. note velocities), is
now possible provided the target events are selected, otherwise the
usual painting edit sub-mode applies (cf. menu Edit/Select Mode/Edit Draw).
- The MIDI clip editor now senses which target view pane has focus for
general selection commands (cf. Edit/Select/None, All, Invert, Range)
whether the main piano-roll or the event value (velocities) view.
- Mouse middle-button clicking is back in business on main track-view
and on MIDI clip editor views (piano-roll) as an immediate play-head
(re)positioning command or merge/reset the edit-head/tail cursors if
Shift/Ctrl keyboard modifiers are pressed.
- Formerly protected, class qtractorClip::FadeFunctor is now public in
an shot-in-the-dark attempt to fix clang builds (as reported by Jekyll
Wu, thanks).
- Override all sub-classed widgets mouse-pointer event handlers to be
isolated from base widget style and/or window management.
Enjoy!--

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.
The advantages of this interface compared to piano rolls (the normal
sequencer interface), are that note editing is quicker, and that more
musical data fits on the screen.
The advantage of this interface compared to trackers, is that note
positions and effects are edited graphically, which is both quicker,
provides more vertical space, and gives a better musically overview.
However, despite it's unusual appearance, it's a design goal for Radium
to be straight forward to use, and easy to learn. It should not be
harder to learn Radium than any tracker or most midi sequencers.

Suil 0.6.6 is out. Suil is a lightweight C library for loading and
wrapping LV2 plugin UIs. Suil transparently presents UIs written in
any toolkit as the desired widget type of host programs, so hosts do
not have to depend on foreign toolkits.
This minor release fixes a couple of potential crashes.
Suil home: http://drobilla.net/software/suil/
Download: http://download.drobilla.net/suil-0.6.6.tar.bz2
Changes:
* Fix crash in x11_in_gtk2 when event_filter fires before widget
is realized
* Use libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (with .0 suffix) by default which is
available on systems without the dev package
* Update to waf 1.7.8 and autowaf r90 (install docs to versioned
directory)
Also, a note about the previous release: the Gtk in Qt fixes are thanks
to Devin Anderson; apologies for this attribution oversight in the hasty
release and corresponding announcement.
Enjoy,

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.3.0. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License.
From the NEWS file:
*** snip snip ***
If upgrading from a v1.x version of Rivendell, be sure to read the
'UPGRADING' file before proceeding for important information.
Changes:
RDCartSlots Module. A new Rivendell module has been added that is
optimized for use in busy live assist environments, along with four
new RMLs ('Load Slot' ['DL'], 'Play Slot' ['DP'], 'Stop Slot' ['DS']
and 'Execute Breakaway' ['DX']) for automating its operation.
RDAirPlay Enhancements. A set of buttons for quickly locating a given
hour has been added to the Full Log widget, enabled by checking the
'Show Hour Selector' box in RDAdmin->ManageHost->RDAirPlay.
JACK Enhancements. It is now possible to specify the command-line
used to start jackd(8) and a list of clients to start when
starting the Rivendell service. See RDAdmin->ManageHosts->JackSettings.
Switcher/GPIO Device Support. Added support for the Sine Systems ACU-1
switcher. See 'SWITCHERS.txt' for details.
Cue Output Assignments. Cue output assignments for all modules
except RDAirPlay have now been consolidated into one setting in
RDAirPlay->ManageHosts.
Multiple bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 213, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow
any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.
