Yoshimi 0.060.11

by Jeremy Jongepier

Dear all, I've just uploaded a new release of Yoshimi to SourceForge. This is basically a maintenance release as Yoshimi fails to build with the latest version of FLTK (1.3). Thanks to Frank Kober for pointing this out and for providing a patch. I've also applied the Legato pedal patch from Kristian Amlie. This patch is so simple and clean, you wonder why it wasn't implemented earlier. Thanks Kristian! http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi/files/0.060/yoshimi-0.060.11.tar.bz2 And a happy New Year! Jeremy

Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: - source tarball: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.3.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 12.1): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.3-2.rncbc.suse121.sr… - binary packages (openSUSE 12.1): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.3-2.rncbc.suse121.i5… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.3-2.rncbc.suse121.x8… - once upon the time, eons ago: user manual: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.3.0-user-manual.pdf Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Fixed initial LV2 plugin UI widget/window titles. - Attempt to get any brand new LV2 plugins Qt4 enabled UI's working on either slv2 and lilv build modes ;) (nailed by falkTX, thanks). - Current clip is ultimately inferred from the one under the play-head position and current selected track; the last one clicked over and/or selected still has precedence (following request by Loiugi Verona). - Drag-moving clips horizontally with the keyboard arrow-keys just got a step better with a fixed minimum of one pixel, depending still on the current snap-per-beat setting and horizontal zoom level (as suggested by Louigi Verona, thanks). - Get maximum and minimum peak values back when drawing audio waveforms.- Automation play/feedback has been missed to show on those plugins that provide their own GUI, now on par with all the rest 'homebrew' widgets (eg. generic plugin properties dialog). - All plugin parameters automation and selection were left inaccessible until the generic native plugin dialog is eventually shown, now fixed (re. bug #3463916). Enjoy && Happy New Year! -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

Hi all, Just a friendly reminder that JANUARY 11 is the deadline for all submissions to the Linux Audio Conference (LAC 2012), which will take place at CCRMA (Stanford, California) in April 2012!http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2012/ Santa LACus wishes a great paper-and-music-submitting holiday to all! Ho, ho. Bruno - - - - - - - - - LAC 2012: the Linux Audio Conference - Call for Participation April 12-15, 2012 @ CCRMA, Stanford University http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2012/ [Apologies for cross-postings] [Please distribute] Online submission of papers, music, installations and workshops is now open! On the website you will find up-to-date instructions, as well as important information about deadlines, travel, lodging, and so on. Read on for more details! We invite submissions of papers addressing all areas of audio processing based on Linux and open source software. Papers can focus on technical, artistic or scientific issues and can target developers or users. We are also looking for music that has been produced or composed entirely or mostly using Linux and other Open Source music software. The Deadline for all submissions is January 11th, 2012 The Linux Audio Conference (LAC) is an international conference that brings together musicians, sound artists, software developers and researchers, working with Linux as an open, stable, professional platform for audio and media research and music production.

[ANN] LADI Session Handler - Version 1

by Nedko Arnaudov

This release marks end of the preview series. It brings three new user visible features - virtual graph manipulation, LASH support and jack-session support. Virtual graph manipulation allows to perform these operations: * Split (create new client and move capture ports to the the new client) * Join (move ports of one clients to another client and remove the first client) * New client * Move port * Rename client * Rename port * Remove (empty) client The added LASH and jack-session support allows apps to be run in rooms at LASH or jack-session level. jack-session support requires jack-1.9.8. = Download = The tarballs are available at the usual location: * http://ladish.org/download/ * http://ladish.org/download/ladish-1-with-deps.tar.bz2 * http://ladish.org/download/ladish-1-with-deps.tar.bz2.sig * http://ladish.org/download/ladish-1.tar.bz2 * http://ladish.org/download/ladish-1.tar.bz2.sig There are two tarballs. ladish-1-with-deps.tar.bz2 is 5.3 MiB and bundles the major dependencies that are usually needed for running ladish: * flowcanvas * LADI Tools * a2jmidid * jack2 All of these are either development (git/svn) versions or release versions that are patched to work better with ladish. The last released versions of these dependencies are expected work with ladish. The most serious "incompatibility" is that the jack2 mainline is missing the no-self-connect changeset. This changeset adds option to jack that allows prevention of jack apps self connection to "hardware" ports (usually system:playback_N). As such self-connecting apps are not rare at all, without it, the studio/room separation is not-effective and the workflow can get very confusing. If you are compiling the software by yourself, then you should probably use this "fat" tarball. The ladish-1.tar.bz2 tarball is 586 KiB and contains only ladish itself. It is expected to be used mainly by packagers. = Known issues = If you want to use yoshimi-0.060.10, beware that its jack-session implementation is broken. As a workaround, in gladish settings dialog, "JS delay" can be set to few seconds instead of the default 0. Two seconds should work in most cases. For more info, check http://ladish.org/ticket/187 = More info on the ladish project = Homepage: http://ladish.org/ LADI Session Handler or simply ladish is a session management system for JACK applications on GNU/Linux. Its aim is to allow you to have many different audio programs running at once, to save their setup, close them down and then easily reload the setup at some other time. ladish doesn't deal with any kind of audio or MIDI data itself; it just runs programs, deals with saving/loading (arbitrary) data and connects JACK ports together. It can also be used to move entire sessions between computers, or post sessions on the Internet for download. Check the project goals for more info. Project goals: * Save and restore sets of JACK (audio and MIDI) enabled applications. * Provide JACK clients with virtual hardware ports, so projects can be transferred (or backups restored) between computers running different hardware and backups. * Don't require session handling library to be used. There is no need of such library for restoring connections between JACK clients. * Flow canvas based GUI. Positions of elements on the canvas are saved/restored. * Allow clients to use external storage to save its state. This includes storing internal state to non-filesystem place like memory of a hardware synth. This also includes storing client internal state (client project data) in a way that is not directly bound to ladish project. * Import/export operations, as opposed to save/load. Save/load operate in current system and may cause saving data outside of project itself (external storage). Import/export uses/produces "tarball" suitable for transferring session data over network to other computer or storing it in a backup archive. * Hierarchical or tag-based organization of projects. * List of JACK applications. Applications are always started through ladish to have restored runtime environment closer to one existed before project save. * Distributed studio - network connected computers. Netjack configuration is part of the studio and thus is saved/restored. * Collaborate with the X11 window manager so window properties like window position, virtual desktop and screen (multimonitor) are saved/restored. -- Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: 5D1B58ED>
