On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of the next production release of Rivendell, 4.1.2. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License version 2.
From the 'NEWS' file:
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
Build System. Fixed regressions that broke the build when configured
to build without HPI, ALSA or JACK support.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 371, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, do 'sudo rddbmgr'.
Be sure to run 'rddbmgr --modify' (as root) immediately after upgrading
to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.

SpectMorph 0.6.1 has been released.
The main changes are:
- Instrument editor improvements
- Support for multiple banks for WavSources
- New standard instruments
- The code is now hard RT capable
- UI fixes for macOS
What is SpectMorph?
-------------------
SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of
musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to
construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a
flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a
trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute.
SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be
combined using morphing.
SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version
2.1 or later
Integrating SpectMorph into your Work
-------------------------------------
SpectMorph is currently available for Linux, Windows and macOS (Intel
and Apple Silicon), with CLAP/LV2/VST plugins. Under Linux, there is
also JACK Support.

Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads
There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing
between instruments.
List of Changes in SpectMorph 0.6.1:
------------------------------------
#### Instrument Editor
* Support click & drag sample to scroll & zoom (#22).
* Support stereo to mono conversion when loading stereo samples (#14).
* Add manual volume editing / normalization.
* Implement automatic selection triggered by midi.
#### New instruments
* Bass Flute
* Soprano Saxophone
* Clarinet, Bass Clarinet
* Tenor Trombone
* Viola, Double Bass
* Make samples and meta information for standard instruments available
on github.
#### Improvements
* Support multiple banks for WavSources / instrument editor.
* Avoid allocations in DSP thread to be hard RT capable.
* Allow overriding analysis parameter for frame stepping to get higher
time resolution.
#### Fixes
* Make UI work properly in Ableton Live (and possibly other hosts) on macOS.
* Fix UI scaling problem on M1 macOS builds.
* Fix crash if instrument editor is closed without any samples.
* Fix cases of undefined behaviour.
* Fix timing problems for long notes, reproduce long WavSource notes
with exact tempo.
* Fix use-after-free for outdated control events.
* Fix freetype related memory leak.

[Drumstick](https://drumstick.sourceforge.io/docs/index.html) is a set
of GPLv3 licensed C++/Qt libraries for MIDI applications. The project
includes several tools as examples, and among them is the
drumstick-guiplayer utility that leverages the Drumstick::ALSA library,
so it is available only for Linux (because the ALSA sequencer is a linux
only technology). Some people have requested a program with the same
functionalities also on Windows and macOS, so here it is. But this
project is much more ...
Some key features:
* MIDI Output to hardware MIDI ports, or any other Drumstick backends,
like soft synths
* Transpose song tonality between -12 and +12 semitones
* Change MIDI volume level (using MIDI CC7)
* Scale song speed between half and double tempo
* Supports MID/KAR/RMI (Standard MIDI Files) and WRK (Cakewalk) file formats
Changes in v1.7.3:
* New example song: Franz Schubert (1797–1828). Der Schwanengesang (D
957) #4 Ständchen (Ludwig Rellstab 1799-1860).
* Fixed GH ticket #13 (SF ticket #18): Keep together snapped windows
when moved. This new optional function is available on Windows, macOS
and Linux/X11, but not on Wayland where it is forbidden.
* Czech translation updated. Thanks to Pavel Fric.
* Italian translation updated. Thanks to Giovanni Mariani.
* Spanish and Galician translations updated.
Build requirements:
* C++11 compiler
* Qt5 >= 5.15 or Qt6 >= 6.2
* Drumstick libraries v2.8
* Uchardet v0.0.8
* CMake 3.14
* Pandoc (when BUILD_DOCS=on)

Hi all!
We are glad to announce that we released version 1.0.0 of Brickworks,
the music DSP toolkit that supplies you with the fundamental building
blocks for creating and enhancing audio engines on any platform.
Here's a short list of changes:
* First stable release.
* Full debugging in all modules.
* Tons of bug fixes, improvements, and polish.
It is fully free/open source software (GPLv3 license) and we also offer
commercial licenses.
You can find more information on the official web page:
https://www.orastron.com/brickworks.
Best regards,
Stefano D'Angelo

Anklang version 0.2.0 is released.
Anklang is a digital audio synthesis application for live
creation and composition of music. It is released as Free
Software (MPL-2.0) and runs under Linux.
The real-time sound engine is implemented in C++, the UI runs
in Electronjs, Firefox or Chrome. Assistance with development,
porting or creative efforts is very welcome.
Anklang provides a MIDI sequencer, Undo/Redo capabilities for note
editing, real-time synthesis, and support for CLAP plugins.
The source code and binary packages are available here:
https://github.com/tim-janik/anklang/releases/tag/v0.2.0
The project website with further resources is at:
https://anklang.testbit.eu/
=======================================================================
This release has significant improvements to audio synthesis
capabilities and user interface. The documentation has been improved in
several places, and automated generation was integrated into the CI.
Audio synthesis enhancements include support for new CLAP (draft)
extensions, such as transport information and file references. We now
support non-linear mappings for BlepSynth ADSR times, and a new audio
plugin Freeverb by Jezar at Dreampoint was added, with fixes to the
damping mode in the original version. Additionally, a Jack PCM driver
based on Stefan Westerfelds’ code was integrated.
Performance improvements were achieved by adding a new optimizing memory
allocator and supporting low-latency scheduling via sched_* or RtKit.
Saving projects will now automatically create backups of recent versions.
The user interface has also seen significant improvements in this
release. These include context help via F1 key in various UI components,
fixes to mouse wheel sensitivity for modern browsers, improved tooltips
and note editing in the piano roll. The UI can now be zoomed via new
menu entries, the color palette was updated, and integration of
TypeScript annotations allowed improving the UI JavaScript code quality.
In terms of packaging, AppImage builds saw major compatibility
improvements, and we increased the frequency of Nightly releases,
building from nearly all significant trunk merge commits. We aim to
generate more regular releases in the future instead of having lots of
Nightly builds between regular releases.
