We are happy to share the following announcement with you,
setBfree v0.5.0 was just released under GPLv2.
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.

Will Panther succeeded where others have failed and made it possible to
adopt Fredrik Kilander's Beatrix in terms of the GPL. We have spent the
last weeks to update the code-base to meet requirements and are happy to
announce a first beta version.
The organ and effects as are available as LV2 plugins as well as a
standalone JACK application. We've reworked the engine to allow
arbitrary sample-rates, standardized interfaces, fixed various bugs,
added a build-system, man-pages, a simple GUI for testing, etc.
The sound is still pretty much the same as the original awesome Beatrix.
Next steps include adding end-user documentation, tweaking and honing
the synth-engine and fixing the bugs that you discover :)
This release features contributions from
Fredrik Kilander, Ken Restivo, Will Panther and Robin Gareus.
For discussion please use the linux-audio-user list, bug reports should
to the issue-tracker at github.
Feedback of any kind is welcome.
have fun,

xfmr-plugins-0.0.1 has been released. At present it contains one
LADSPA plugin, an anti-aliased transformer distortion emulator
intended to be used on the master bus when mixing in a DAW such
as Ardour.
I made it for my own use, in order to get closer to the sound of
an analogue mix without the extra round trip through the DA-AD
converters. Hopefully others may find it useful. License is GPL v2.

Lisalo - Linux Sampler Loader - is a command line program that loads entire directories of sample files, a single .sfz file or takes instructions from a meta .lsl file with relative paths to samples.
Now you can quickly and easily load sampled instruments without even starting a GUI.
This is release 1.2, grab it here, no installation required (but you can symlink it to /usr/bin if you want)
git clone git://github.com/nilsgey/Lisalo.git
[New Features]
lsl mode (see example.lsl)
-Choose an instrument index when loading gig or sf2 samples
-Load a directory with waves and oggs as one instrument.
-Choose a name for your JACK port
commandline mode (see -h or cat README)
-option to specify a name for your JACK port.
-directly load a single sfz file instead of a whole directory or a meta lsl file (auto detection by file extension)
-this sfz file can be a temp file created by Lisalos sidekick:
[New Tool - Sfz Generator]
Creates temporary sfz files. Point to a directory of wave or ogg files and you'll get the filename of an .sfz file in /tmp as return value.
In case you want to use this with Lisalo use the following syntax:
lisalo "$(lisalosfzgenerator.py /path/to/wavedir)"
This has several optional options such as: Start mapping from a key number (default 60 - middle c), only map the white keys, load sample dir recursively (don't point at your /home/samples or at an Ardour project dir!)

Dear all,
There it is, Yoshimi 1.0.0, in memory of ALan "Cal" Calvert who passed
away exactly one year ago. Cal, we're pretty sure it's only angel horns
you hear and no devil trombones!

Changelog:
* Modified INSTALL file and added instructions on how to build Yoshimi
outside the source tree. Thanks to Jimmy for the instructions.
* Previously when microtonal loaded .xsz files, it did not convert the

this patch corrects this mistake. Thanks to Mark McCurry for the patch.
* Renamed Yoshimi icon.
* Applied patch from SourceForge ticket #3487751 (Simplify desktop file
and install it and the icon file). Thanks to Tim harder for this patch.

Thanks everyone for the contributions and patches.
Best,
Jeremy
Hello everybody! Finally it has happened, nearly two years from the
last stable release we are ready to present to you the final MusE 2.0
version. A lot has happened and changed, still the migration from 1.1
to 2.0 should be quite easy and definitely worth it.
The big changes since 1.1 are as follows:
* Moved to qt4, this affects the visuals and potentially improved portability
* Graphical automation in the arranger
* A new score editor
* MusE now defaults to using midi through Jack, -A enables native alsa support
* New style MDI gui with a bunch of configuration options to satisfy all tastes
* Redone midi editing tool dialogs with lots of new functionality
* Lots and lots and lots of internal small and big changes to improve
stability, speed and functionality
* PSIIF support (support for: probably something important I forgot)
A much condensed list of changes since the last beta are as follows:
- Sync fix: MusE now records tempo changes from externally clocked midi.
- Finally! Audio controller playback has smooooth frame resolution
even with large audio buffers.
- Feature: Midi control of audio paramters.
- Lots of automation improvements
- Switched to use JACK midi
- Added: -A switch: "Force inclusion of ALSA midi even if using Jack".
- Lots of leaks removed
- Added colorhints to iR and oR routing buttons
- Templates: File dialog: Lots of changes
- Lots of widget focus fixes
- Allow loading of DSSI synths in LADSPA browser.
- Midi editors: Added "Delta Mode" button to Note Info toolbar.

bugs and otherwise been lending a helpful hand!

MusE 2.0alpha
Hello everybody, we have a present for you, a new release of MusE.
The alpha indicates this is an early version so it's mainly
- a teaser to spread the word.
- an early adopters build.
- to welcome developers who want to port MusE to other platforms.
MusE has now been completely ported to the Qt4 architecture and we
(mainly Tim and Orcan)
are busy to make it even better than before, lots of gui stuff being reworked.
MusE now also sports a new version of the DeicsOnze, DX11 emulating
softsynth, up from version 0.2 to 1.0.
The homepage has received a new look that we hope will give a better
indication of what MusE is and does.
Do visit http://muse-sequencer.org.

Hi,
Petri-Foo is a sampler for linux using JACK. It was originally a fork of
the Specimen sampler project. A new version is now available to download
from sourceforge.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/petri-foo/files/petri-foo-0.1.4.tar.bz2
This release brings further cosmetic changes improving the overall look
of Petri-Foo. The fan sliders have gone, so it must be time to
mention the precision modifying shift and ctrl keypresses for the
sliders.
If you missed the 0.1.3 release, here's a quick rundown of the changes:
* migrated from autotools to cmake
* updated and slimmed-down PHAT replacement called Phin.
* mousewheel waveform zooming
* velocity range setting for patch
* auto-preview (with optional resampling) in sample selector dialog
* recoded deprecated gdk calls to use cairo.
* lots and lots of bug fixes i've long since forgotten about
Some say it's the successor to Specimen and that the two shouldn't
co-exist. All I know is it's called Petri-Foo.
http://petri-foo.sourceforge.net
Cheers,
James.
