[LAA] Qtractor 0.4.6 - The Funky Deviless is here!

by Rui Nuno Capela

So much to tell, even more to do... then one could hardly shake, this long overdue. Lousy rhymes and no miserly times. And there it is: a bug-fix release, I'll mean to ease. Oh crap! Let's get it through once and for all. With huge compliments to all who got the nerve and report as many too much idiosyncrasies (nee bugs). Don't, never look back. There's plenty more ahead, no matter where you look, or hear, whether is up or down hill :) Qtractor 0.4.6 (funky deviless) is here! Release highlights: - MIDI Editor draw mode (aka paint mode) (NEW) - MIDI Swing-quantize (NEW) - LV2 UI Instance & Data-access extension support (NEW) - JACK Session support (EXPERIMENTAL) (NEW) - LV2 Save/Restore extension support (NEW) - MIDI Editor event list in-line editing (NEW) - MIDI Clip time-stretching (FIX) - MIDI Clip editor file salvage quietness (NEW) - MIDI Control bus switching crash (FIX) - MIDI Bank-selection backout (FIX) - Initial widget geometry extents (FIX) - Input-only bus playback crash (FIX) - Bus connection persistence crash (FIX) - Drag-and-drop cloning plugins (FIX) - MIDI Editor floating-selection persistence (NEW) - Audio inserts garbage signal (FIX) A bit more or not so detailed change-log is found below.

Change-log: - Introducing a non-painting edit sub-mode on the MIDI clip editor's piano-roll (see Edit/Select Mode/Edit Draw menu). - The MIDI clip editor (aka piano-roll) is now a lot more quiet about saving its own dirty content, delegating all salvage questions to main session control. - Don't show session restart message box when changing JACK transport mode option anymore. - Dedicated MIDI control bus switching fixed. Was closing the wrong bus eventually and crashing the whole show with it (fixes bug #2989590). - MIDI bank/program backout has been corrected on MIDI track properties dialog rejection (ie. user cancellation). - MIDI bank select method has been corrected for tracks with no instrument defined (probably fixing bug #2987071). - LV2 UI Instance and Data Access extension support added; reduce LV2 external UI parameter value update flickering. - JACK session infrastructure support. (EXPERIMENTAL) - Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to wrong main widget hidden state. - Initial mixer widget extents are now set reasonably larger. - General source tree layout and build configuration change. - Ever since smooth-ramping introduction that having at least one input-only buses were causing immediate playback crashes, now hopefully fixed. - Refactored for common engine client nomenclature, primarily provided by JACK, then secondarily passed to ALSA Sequencer, getting rid of the JackUseExactName requirement and lifting the unique/single instance restriction in the process. - Current JACK Transport, MMC Device, and MIDI Song Position pointer (SPP) control modes are now saved/loaded as part of session option properties. - MIDI clip editor's context menu crash on Qt >= 4.6 has been fixed (resolving bug #2972603). - An ancient double-free corruption has been finally fixed at the audio/MIDI bus connection persistence logic. - Improved visibility of track state buttons text (R, M, S) when turned on dark colored themes. - LV2 Save/Restore extension support kicks off. - MIDI engine read-ahead period has been shortened to half than it was since inception--now it's a 500msec cycle. - MIDI clip editor event list gets its due inline editing, for time, note, value/velocity and duration columns, just one double-click away over the target cell ;) - Add-plugin selection dialog position and extent are now remembered across invocations and application sessions (tipping by Frank Neumann). - MIDI clip time-stretching is now made available through the same gestures as audio ones, by just shift+dragging either of the clip edges. - Drag-and-copying plug-in instances (cloning) is now fixed with regard to parameter value replication. - MIDI clip editor snap-per-beat setting is now independent from main multi-track view; File/Save As... dialog fixed; the current event selection is now kept floating as long as it's possible after editing command actions; finally, edit mode has been extended to free-hand event drawing, chalking off (piano roll) draw mode from the TODO list. - Swing-quantize has finally made its overdue debut as an additional MIDI clip editor tool (see Tools/Quantize...). - Almost since its inception, audio inserts were injecting garbage random noise when not being activated, now fixed. - Dedicated audio output ports for MIDI track plugins, now have their connection persistence back in business due on session load. Cheers && Enjoy (what else?) -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

[LAA] arpage 0.3.3 alpha - JACK Sync'd Arpeggiator - available on sourceforge in tarball and SVN

by Mark Vitek

Arpage alpha 0.3.3 is now available on sourceforge in tarball and SVN Main Page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/arpage/ Tarball: https://sourceforge.net/projects/arpage/files/Alpha%20Release%200.3/arpage-… SVN access: svn co https://arpage.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/arpage arpage ** 0.3.3 New Features: (1) The state of each arpeggiator is saved when the transport stops, or the application is shut down. This is a precursor to actually saving/restoring patches on demand, by name. These files are stored to ~/.arpage, which is created if not there. ** Fixes: (1) The initial patch number is now sent when the transport starts rolling. ** Extras: (1) Demo mp3s and session xml files available on sourceforge, as "arpage_extras-0.3.3.tar.gz" Copy the xml files to ~/.arpage to recreate the demo settings. Demos were made using WhySynth DSSI plugin w/ ghostess (a jack-dssi GUI host). ** 0.3 New Features: (1) Enhanced latching functionality: - New "Tap-out" mode - when enabled, any note in a pattern that is latched by Controller 64 ON can be removed from the latched pattern by tapping the note again. - Notes which are still held when a latched pattern is released by Controller 64 OFF will remain in the arpeggiated pattern until they are released. (2) Status "lights" for active/inactive status, MIDI output and pattern latch status (3) UI should now be small enough for netbook screens (4) Comprehensive tooltips are now provided ** Fixes: (1) Timing drift is corrected (2) Latching should be much more stable (3) Note length functionality has been corrected Enjoy! Let me know how it works for you.

[LAA] spectmorph-0.0.2

by Stefan Westerfeld

spectmorph-0.0.2 has been released. This is the first publicly announce release. Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.0.2: ---------------------------------------- * bugfixes * include proper phases, so phase-correct reconstruction of samples is possible * new programs: - smstrip - removes debugging information from SpectMorph model files - smextract - extracts data from SpectMorph models, for developers only for now * added --no-noise / --no-sines switches for smplay * added -s switch for smenc, to create stripped models * use boost numeric bindings + lapack for ideal phase/magnitude estimation (smenc -O2) - slow! * SSE optimizations and other speedups for fast phase/magnitude estimation (smenc -O1) * use odd/centered FFT to be able to reconstruct phases from FFT data (smenc -O0) * use different thresholding scheme for encoder, detecting more partials * document API with doxygen * move Encoder and other classes to libspectmorph * added python binding, capable of reading SpectMorph model files * added automated tests * added manual pages for smenc, smplay, smvisualize and smstrip * added overview document in docs directory What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments. This should allow constructing hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute. Also interpolating between two samples of the same instrument (different attack velocity of a piano) could be interesting. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3 SpectMorph currently is in the early stages of development, which means that it is not yet ready to be used by end users. Links: ------ Website: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/spectmorph.php Download: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/spectmorph/spectmorph-0.0.2.tar.gz There are sound examples on the website which demonstrate the sound quality of the current SpectMorph models using piano samples. -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan
