The QStuff* End-of-Summer'23 Release batch #1

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello there! Here the first batch of the 'QStuff*': QjackCtl [1], Qsynth [2], Qsampler [3], QXGEdit [4], QmidiCtl [5] and QmidiNet [6], released for the (northern) End-of-Summer'23 season. Enjoy while it's still hot. ** QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface [1] ** QjackCtl 0.9.12 (end-of-summer'23) is out! QjackCtl is an aged yet modern, not so 'simple' anymore, Qt [7] application to control the JACK [8] sound server, for the Linux Audio [12] infrastructure. Change-log: - Setup: disable Settings parameters altogether, except frames/period (aka. buffer-size) if running in the so called 'Active' pure-client mode (eg. under PipeWire's pw-jack substitution). - Connections: Fixed an old JACK client/ports aliases malfunction, hopefully. - Graph: Ctrl+left or middle-button click-dragging for panning, is now a lot smoother, hopefully. - Graph: Click-dragging with the mouse middle-button is now used for panning only, not to start a selection anymore. - Preppings to next development cycle (Qt >= 6.6) Website: https://qjackctl.sourceforge.io http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net Project page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Downloads: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl/files - source tarball: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.12.tar.gz - source package: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.12-56.1.rncbc.suse.src.rpm - binary packages: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.12-56.1.rncbc.suse.x86_64.rpm - AppImage [20] package: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.12-56.1.x86_64.AppImage Git repos: https://git.code.sf.net/p/qjackctl/code https://github.com/rncbc/qjackctl.git https://gitlab.com/rncbc/qjackctl.git https://codeberg.com/rncbc/qjackctl.git ** Qsynth - A FluidSynth Qt GUI Interface [2] ** Qsynth 0.9.12 (end-of-summer'23) is out!

Aseq RC v23.09

by David Moreno Montero

Aseq RC is a remote ALSA sequencer patchbay that creates a web server, making it very easy to connect and disconnect ALSA sequencer ports. It also remembers the state between two ports, so if the device disappears (program closed or device disconnected), the next time it's connected, it will be automatically reconnected. Manual disconnection (via 'aseqrc' or any other method) is properly managed. This new version includes: * Several fixes for device listings * Each device can have a logo for easier discoverability and nicer interface. It can be downloaded from https://github.com/davidmoreno/aseqrc/releases/tag/v23.09 More info at https://github.com/davidmoreno/aseqrc/ Help, issue reports and pull requests are very much appreciated. Thanks, David. -- David Moreno Montero dmoreno(a)coralbits.com +34 658 18 77 17 http://www.coralbits.com

NeuralCapture

by Hermann Meyer

Neural Capture is a VST3/LV2 plug to make the process of cloning external soft/hardware a bit more comfortable. ![NeuralCapture](https://github.com/brummer10/neuralcapture/blob/main/NeuralCapture.png?raw=true) Neural Capture is build using the DISTRHO Plugin Framework [DPF](https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF) It features a round trip measurement routine. This allows to load the plug, connect the output to the system output, loop over external gear (soft or hardware) and back to the Profiler input. Simply press "Capture" to play the "input.wav" file to the output and record the returning input delayed by the measured round trip latency. The peek meter will show you if your signal is in the expected range. The round-trip latency will be measured on each "Capture" start. Resulting recorded "target.wav" file will be perfectly in sync with the used "input.wav" file. Currently, both files would be saved under "$(HOME)/profiles/". The "target.wav" file will be overwritten on each Capture run, so there will be always only one target file. You need to save it from that directory in order to use it with the AIDA-X or NAM trainer. The "input.wav" file comes as resource with the plug (hence the big size of the binary packages) and get copied over to that folder, when no input.wav file was found there. This allows advanced users to use their own input.wav file by simply replace the one in that folder. The target.wav file get checked during record and run to a normalization function when needed. (Only when the max peek in target is above the max peek in input). The record will be saved in the PCM24 wav format (same as the input.wav file). The UI provide a progress bar, a peek meter, and well the profile button. As requested by the AIDA-X and the NAM trainer, only 48kHz been supported to run this plug. (You'll get a warning otherwise) Project side: https://github.com/brummer10/neuralcapture The release provide binary packages for multiple platforms release: https://github.com/brummer10/neuralcapture/releases/tag/v0.1.1 regards hermann

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard 0.8.10 Released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another instrument or MIDI file player. Changes in v0.8.10: * Fix for SF ticket [#83]: Fail to build when mixing Qt6 and Qt5 libraries. * Fix for SF ticket [#84]: Failure restoring portable settings. * Chinese translation updated. Thanks to Hycinth 听寒. * Requires: drumstick v2.8. Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: * CMake 3.14 * Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 note: Qt6 support is still experimental * Drumstick 2.8 Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for questions and comments.

Cal Big Styles 1.0.0: Initial release

by Dominique Michel

Hi, I was frustrated by the font sizes in Calf when used with a high resolution screen. So, I made new styles with bigger font sizes and I put them on github. https://github.com/domichel/calf_big_styles https://github.com/domichel/calf_big_styles/archive/refs/tags/1.0.0.tar.gz The only differences from the original styles are the font sizes. To run 'make' will show you how to install them. If Calf was installed into /usr, it should be as easy than su -c "PREFIX=/usr make install" The next time you run Calf, these styles will appear into the preferences widget. Enjoy, Dominique Calf Studio Gear: https://calf-studio-gear.org/
