Hi all,
I just released a new version of the avw.lv2 plugin suit:
- Migrated the code to lvtk (lvtoolkitorg)
- Starting not to use Gtk Builder (only LFO GUI)
- Using Luppp Dial for GUI (only LFO GUI)
- Non Linear Dial
- Remove JACKLFO (not necessary, using LV2 Time)
- LFO frequency can be set manually or in sync with LV2 Time
- Tranches plugin now using LV2 Time
I'm very curious to get feedback on the new LFO GUI (using Dial) - if it is
"welcome" I'll work on modifying the other GUIs and created the new ones
using the same look&feel.
You can download the new version here:

Regards,
Aurélien
Announcing CMKeyboard
http://djcj.org/cmkeyboard
CMKeyboard is a 128 note ALSA MIDI virtual piano keyboard spanning from
C-1 to G9 written in python3 and taking advantage of the latest Clutter
(>1.12.2) features to enable scrolling and opengl goodness. It is a stand
alone program which can also be embedded into other python3 applications
as a class library. It uses code from the very handy pyclutter-widgets
project for the rounded rectangles of the key buttons.
The code demonstrates use of Clutter.ScrollActor(), GtkClutter.Embed(),
layering of multiple clutter actors, handling of events including:
"button-press-event" & "key-press-event".

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.

=======================
https://github.com/kmatheussen/radium
Most important changes 1.9.6 -> 1.9.14:
=======================================
* Waveform data is shown in the editor for the sampler instrument.
* Colored areas replaced breakpoint curves for velocity representation.
(looks much less confusing)
* Only show gfx nodes for the track the mouse is currently placed over.
* Various other graphical improvements
* Fixed denormals on 32 bit Linux. (-mpmath=sse)
* Fix various horrible bugs for those with non-C locale settings
Thanks to "DoosC" for helping to debug.
* Switch shift and right-alt keybindings for left/right arrow. Now:
* Right Shift + left/right moves cursor to previous / next track
* Right Alt + left/right changes velocity for note playing under
cursor.
* Need to press altgr or right shift less than 0.25 seconds to play.
* Radium doesn't freeze when trying to play after it has been running
for a few hours.
* Dont create block undo too often. (Most notable when changing
velocity
using keyboard)
* Don't reset temponode track size when zooming.
* Fix pesky memory bug, sometimes causing the program to quit because
it ran out of memory. Graphics should also be snappier in some
situations
after this fix. It was caused by the gfx queue growing and growing
when QWidget::paintEvent wasnt called directly after drawing
something.
* Dont crash when pasting block in certain situations.
* Remove reading of uninitialized memory in slider painter.
* TAB switches between common window configs
* Show message box if parsing soundfont file fails
* Add -Wall option to RELEASE build
* Make track headers of current instrument more distinct
* Larger window during startup
* Fix missing sound on AMD phenom processor. Thanks to DoosC for
helping to debug.
* Disable text border by default (except for line numbers), and ignore
saved text border setting
* Ignore minnodesize and use font height*2 instead.
* Implement reset font size for qt
* Demo song audio adjustments
* Set default colors/fonts menu options
* Qt: set DontUseNativeMenuBar on all systems, not just osx. Menues
requires mono font to look right
(fix for unity)
* Dont stop playing when changeing patch for a track
* Various graphical improvements
* Use "---" instead of STP.
* "make install" should work without first running the program.
* Shift+left/right to change note volume works even if cursor is not
placed on the same line as the note name.
* Fixed zooming-in-a-lot bug.
* Pan-per-note for the sampler instrument. Means that the track panner
works
for that track only.
* Fixed samplefile font in sample file selector.
* Different panning algorithm. (Dont just lower volume in one channel
on stereo files)
(Warning: may change sound of existing songs)
* Remove -mtune=native for linux builds.
* Linux: Use standard paths for lrdf files
* Instructions on how to compile from git
I'm pleased to announce the latest release of xwax -- DJ software for
Linux.
http://xwax.org/http://xwax.org/releases/xwax-1.3.tar.gz
The most significant new feature is the ability to navigate the music
library by tempo (beats-per-minute, BPM)
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.
Users of xwax 1.3 may also be interested in a simple and convenient tool
to detect the tempo of music files:

Schmidt)
* Fix readline build errors (Bug reported by Florian Paul Schmidt)
Hi,
I'm happy to announce release 0.5.1 of QMidiArp.
It brings some new features for Arp patterns suggested by gionnico
on
the tracker. New 't' and 'g' tokens provide semitone shifts, and
repeating '0' within chords play out several notes even when only one
note is pressed on the keyboard.
It also brings some sort of automation for the parameter storage
(see feature list
below) that might be interesting when working with live sequencing.
I've updated the demo_seqlfo.qmax that you'll find in
/usr/share/qmidiarp/examples
and you can download a
yoshimi xmz file made for that demo, from
the sourceforge qmidiarp 0.5.1 folder.
Check
it out, it's a nice sequence I think.
Enjoy playing with QMidiArp
Frank
-------------------
Everything as usual is on
http://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net
and the direct download link is
http://sf.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.5.1/qmidiarp-0.5.1.tar.bz2…
Main changes are listed here:
qmidiarp-0.5.1 (2012-11-17)
New Features
o Global Storages have new features accessible through right-click
on each storage location. You can choose if at pattern end another
storage location is automatically selected and create dynamic pattern
sequences.
o Global Storage now has a position pacman indicator for each module
o Clicking on the top button in the global store window now raises the
selected module window
o When Jack is not available at program start, show a message window
o Introduce semitone shifts in Arp patterns (request 3574549 by gionnico)
o Allow repetition of the 0 note within chords to stack notes when only
a single note is played on the keyboard (request 3574549 by gionnico)
o The module input-output panels on the left can now be hidden, this
leaves some more space when running several modules side-by-side
Fixed Bugs
o When starting from scratch, qmidiarp sometimes didn't start with
internal clock
o When editing an arp pattern while running, qmidiarp crashed when the
pattern length reached zero
o Deleting the last module sometimes crashed qmidiarp
o Trigger mode sometimes caused hanging when a new note was received
o Global Storage locations did not get updated when module names changed
General Changes
o There have been many changes toward realtime compatibility under the
hood. In particular, there are no more memory allocations/frees in
the realtime component.
o LFO Waveforms with high resolutions and lengths appear with finer
streaks
o The Mute state of each module is no longer changed when a parameter
restore is done
o Overall CPU usage should be slightly reduced
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 release fixes embedding Gtk in Qt, adds support for native
Windows UIs in Gtk, and fixes a few bugs. Updating is recommended,
particularly for Qt hosts.
Suil home: http://drobilla.net/software/suil/
Download: http://download.drobilla.net/suil-0.6.6.tar.bz2
Changes:
* Fix embedding Gtk in Qt as a child widget (support reparenting)
* Support for wrapping native Windows UIs in Gtk2
* Gracefully handle UIs with no port_event method
* Replace host provided features that match Suil implemented features,
rather than passing UIs duplicate features
* Disable timestamps in HTML documentation for reproducible build
Enjoy,
