Brand new LV2 plugin soft synth here. The Newtonator (v0.5.0) features: * LV2-compliant synth plugin * Simple, easy-to-use GTK-based GUI * 3-note polyphony (err, um, until I can do some serious optimization) * "Unique" synthesis algorithm (Tuna Pagan Fellowship) The Newtonator specializes in making crazy, harsh sounds, so if you're looking for some sounds to produce the next Yanni album, keep looking. Please refer to the user manual (http://newtonator.sourceforge.net/manual/index.html) for more gory details. Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/newtonator/files/newtonator-0.5.0.tar.gz/do… NOTE: This plugin was written against the excellent libraries included in the lv2-c++-tools package written by Lars Luthman. However, as of v1.0.4, the GUI library only supports rev. 2 of the LV2 specification, so it may have problems on newer hosts (though I have done some (very) preliminary testing against Ardour3 and it seems to work ok). Alpha testing mostly done against zynjacku and Elven (comes with ll-plugins package) hosts. This puppy's in beta, so feel free to get in touch with me at the project forum (https://sourceforge.net/projects/newtonator/forums/forum/1820765) or submit a bug if needed. Thanks, and have fun.

[ANNOUNCE] FluidSynth 1.1.4 released!

by David Henningsson

In short, version 1.1.4 of FluidSynth brings us: * Several improvements and fixes to the CMake build system, especially for Mac OS X * Several bug fixes to the engine, notably quite a few which could cause FluidSynth to sound bad in some cases. * API additions, that make it possible to - load MIDI files from memory - to inspect/modify MIDI events as they are being played from a MIDI file - to change channels between melodic and drum mode - and to silence all notes in one command. * Improvements to the CoreAudio driver A more detailed list of changes is available at https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/fluidsynth/wiki/ChangeLog1_1_4 Looking back at the changes, I'm feeling a little proud today. One of the reasons for feeling proud, is that we have more than one new contributor: people who have taken the step to actually work with the code, improve it, and create non-trivial patches with new functionality in it. That is a good foundation for the future and I hope all contributors feel welcomed and properly attributed. Also, the improvements/fixes to the build system is worth a special note (thanks Pedro!), I was surprised to see so many of them! And finally, we've managed to close several long standing bugs, which makes me feel that this release will be stable and enjoyable for a lot of people, with less annoyances than ever. (Thanks to the jOrgan folks for the test run!) Now, enjoy the release, and last but not least - make sure you make some really great music with it! :-) (Can't wait for your distro to package it up for you? You can download the tarball from SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fluidsynth/ ) On behalf of the FluidSynth developer team, David Henningsson

xwax 1.0 release

by Mark Hills

I'm pleased to announce the 1.0 release of xwax -- DJ software for Linux. http://www.xwax.co.uk/ http://www.xwax.co.uk/releases/xwax-1.0.tar.gz The key changes since v0.9 are: * Changing of timecode at runtime * Improved parsing of vinyl track numbers * Bug fix: affecting multiple decks with different sample rates * Optimise timecode error checking during scratching 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. -- Mark

gst123-0.2.0

by Stefan Westerfeld

gst123-0.2.1 has been released. Overview of changes in gst123-0.2.1: ------------------------------------ * Fixed minor memory leak. * Fix warnings due to wrong glib option parsing. [Nicholas Miell] * Use wikihtml2man for documentation (replaces old doxer based manpage). What is gst123? --------------- The program gst123 is designed to be a more flexible command line player in the spirit of ogg123 and mpg123, based on gstreamer. It plays all file formats gstreamer understands, so if you have a music collection which contains different file formats, like flac, ogg and mp3, you can use gst123 to play all your music files. Since gst123-0.1.0 support for watching videos has been added; however gst123 should run fine in situations where no X11 display is available; videos can be played without X11 display, too (-x, --novideo); in this case, only the audio stream will be played. It is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2 Links: ------ Website: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/gst123.php Download: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/gst123/gst123-0.2.1.tar.bz2 -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan
