Dear Colleagues and Friends, Another busy year has come to an end. L2Ork has continued to push the boundaries of its telematic infrastructure (L2Ork Tweeter), as well as its creative voice. Earlier this month we premiered a new EDM crowdsourced work titled "Transcontinental Grapevine" (see < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAurZNg6kVk>) that featured perfect sync among 11 performers over 5,000 miles apart, engaging both L2Orkists (located in Blacksburg, VA, USA), and collaborators from UNTREF, Buenos Aires, Argentina. We also promised big news on the Pd-L2Ork front. Today, following over a hundred silent releases over the past year, we are thrilled to share with you the latest stable release of Pd-L2Ork, version 20221218. The list below only highlights the most notable changes. For a complete list of updates, you may want to explore the following document: < https://github.com/.../blob/master/pd/src/pd-l2ork-TODO.txt> - K12 mode is back and better than ever. With over 70 abstractions designed for beginners that are also used by visual dataflow programming veterans, we have had students as young as 3rd grade who have never heard of Pd-L2Ork, design their first Wiimote-based musical instruments in as little as 30 minutes. - K12 mode can be now changed on-the-fly. No restarting of Pd-L2Ork necessary. Start-up flag is still there, as well (-k12). - Non-K12-mode, easy to access K12 menu abstractions. - True Graph-on-Parent drawing of objects that allows partial display and opens doors for a number of UI performance optimizations. - Intelligent toggling of editability of specific patches with dynamically updating menu options. - Expanded help browser with improved search options. - Customizable autocomplete. - Vastly improved redraw queuing and consequently performance of graphics-heavy widgets (e.g. arrays), while ensuring deterministic display of data. - Full support for legacy and Pd-L2Ork-specific data structures. - Out-of-box support of the latest Raspberry Pi GPIO and SPI (analog in) capabilities. - Out-of-box Sensel support. - Improved snap-to-grid option. - Refinements to the existing option to toggle curved patch cords. - New features, like toggling patch editabilty (e.g. to prevent beginners from accidentally entering the edit mode), graph-on-parent spill option, that allows for legacy spilling of elements outside the graph-on-parent bounds, ability to cut/copy/paste contents of atoms, including appending (shift+click), and a deterministic way to monitor for mouse releases (useful for gatoms and iemgui elements), scroll on patch cord extension (when the patch cord reaches the edge of the canvas), scroll-to-object when using the find option, zoomability using keyboard, as well as viewport zoom (e.g. using pinch gesture). - Many refinements and bugfixes to existing features, including the native HTML/CSS canvas drawing and object layering using SVG shapes (in Pd-L2Ork all objects, other than images, are drawn as SVG shapes, thus ensuring pristine appearance regardless the zoom level). - Proper OSX signing to ensure ability to use audio input and output. - Ability to open multiple patches within the existing instance of Pd-L2Ork, as well as an option to open them in separate instances (-unique flag). - Latest version of L2Ork Tweeter (including the server) included. Preview some of the included sessions created by Tweeter here: < https://l2ork.music.vt.edu/video/pd-l2ork-tweeter-demo-2022-12-19.mp4>. - Improved handling of preferences and expanded customizability of UI options. - Drag'n'drop patches onto the console. - Exciting new theme titled 60-hz (special thanks to Raphael Isdant for his idea and contributions) that is easier on your eyes in low light settings. - Integration of select vanilla Pd objects for maximum vanilla compatibility. More will happen in the coming year, now that the core is approaching parity with Pd-L2Ork 1.x (with tooltips and additional canvas options being two major remaining missing elements). So, yes, we will integrate those as they are stabilized, as well as update existing libraries to the latest version, where possible and appropriate. - Tons of extended GUI objects ported to nwjs (HTML/CSS/SVG canvas), including pddp library, most of cyclone (including the ability to edit text files), imagebang, vastly improved and customizable knob (now included in the Put menu), mknob, etc. - Further improvements to the ggee/image (a completely new object that covers features of all other image objects and adds tons of new features, enabling it to serve also as a 2D touch surface, as well as a transparent area for catching mouse events). - Inclusion of the js object that mimics the functionality of MaxMSP's object. - A number of installer build improvements to ensure that all platforms have access to as many of objects, as possible. You can download OSX (11 and newer), Raspbian (arm7), Ubuntu 20.04, and Windows installers from the usual place: https://bit.ly/pd-l2ork Happy Holidays!

[LAA] Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.7.1 Released

by pedro.lopez.cabanillas＠gmail.com

[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 v1.7.1: * Splash screen excluded in Wayland and fixed in other systems * Italian translation updated. Thanks to Giovanni Mariani Build requirements: * C++11 compiler * Qt5 >= 5.15 or Qt6 >= 6.2 * Drumstick libraries v2.7 * Uchardet v0.0.7 * CMake 3.14 * Pandoc (when BUILD_DOCS=on) Copyright (C) 2021-2022 Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas License: GPL v3 or later Project and Source Repositories https://sourceforge.net/p/dmidiplayer https://github.com/pedrolcl/dmidiplayer Downloads https://sourceforge.net/projects/dmidiplayer/files/v1.7.1/ https://flathub.org/apps/details/net.sourceforge.dmidiplayer

[LAA] XUiDesigner v0.9 released

by Hermann Meyer

XUiDesigner v0.9 A easy to use tool to generator/design X11 based LV2 Plugin Bundles by drag n' drop, released under the BSD Zero Clause License. Beside that XUiDesigner allow to generate and install GUI's for existing LV2 plugins (so far only Reaper fail to load extra UI's), it support as well to generate LV2 plugins from scratch. Special support is implemented for FAUST dsp files, which allow you to generate a LV2 plugin with X11 based UI by just drag'n'drop a FAUST dsp file into the XUiDesigner interface. This works now as well for MIDI capable faust modules. In any way, you don't need to interference with any of the annoying LV2 implementations. XUiDesigner handle that all for you. The very same is true when you like to implement your own dsp (C++) into a LV2 plugin. Example files for how to create a c++ file for parsing (drag n' drop) with XUiDesigner been included. For later rework the UI a json file will be created which you could drop later on XUiDesigner to load and rework the UI. This may also be usable by other toolkits to create a UI? This release comes with a couple of Bug-fixes and aims to be nearly stable. Here is a introduction Wiki <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/wiki/XUiDesigner> entry to show the first steps. Note: Please download the attached XUIDesigner_0.9.tar.gz <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/releases/download/v0.8/XUIDesigner…> archive, as only that contain the needed git submodule ( old long time knowing bug on github) as the other files wont be able to build XUiDesigner for you. New in this release: Fix read multiple frames from json file <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/commit/acc04705301c776b16a8a0fa679…> Make image file path relative for json read/write <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/commit/1f873f2a2384ba3b32986b8a36f…> add missing json values <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/commit/79d16eccfa59efe6f944e736dd3…> Load lv2 world in parallel thread on start up <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/commit/ef794397d20ec73b03ba1146ce2…> make file dialog window bigger on default <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/commit/0ca97a6cf7de9b40e8a03bcbc04…> Update libxputty fix linker issue <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/commit/a11b7dcfc46bf8309fc044b2d3c…> Fix parse *.cc files without bypass port <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/commit/716dc16302e2c3bb72029c70dfa…> Project page: https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner Download Release: https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/releases/download/v0.9/XUIDesigner… regards hermann

[LAA] Zrythm 1.0.0-beta.3.9.1 release

by Alexandros Theodotou

Zrythm 1.0.0-beta.3.9.1 has been released! This release among other things brings CLAP (experimental) and JSFX plugin support, thanks to the work of Filipe Coelho (falkTX) and Jean Pierre Cimalando (jpcima) in Carla. The pre-compiled binaries for GNU/Linux are now universal. This means that instead of installing distribution-specific packages, Zrythm installs itself under /opt. This makes the pre-compiled binaries work on any distro (with some exceptions like GuixSD and NixOS) where the glibc version is >= 2.27 (equivalent to Ubuntu 18.04 or newer). Moreover, the only limitation on gratis binaries is now a maximum of 25 tracks per project. Limitations on save/load have been lifted. Of course, there are no limitations when building from source. ==== Screenshot ==== https://www.zrythm.org/static/images/screenshots/screenshot-20221015.png ==== Demo ==== How to compose a track from the ground up using Zrythm (by unfa): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nHhLDErttE ==== About ==== Zrythm is a digital audio workstation designed to be featureful and easy to use. It offers streamlined editing workflows with flexible tools, limitless automation capabilities, powerful mixing features, chord assistance and support for various plugin and file formats. Zrythm is free software written in C using the GTK4 toolkit and can be extended with user scripts written in Scheme or ECMAScript. Zrythm is currently in beta. The project format is stable and we are working towards a v1 release. ==== Release Notes ==== Main changes since last announcement: - Many more bundled plugins including a synth - JSFX and CLAP plugin support - UI panel docking with libpanel - Ability to search in the file browser - Plugin sorting in the plugin browser (by name/last used/most used) - Ability to ghost MIDI notes from other regions in the same track - Fade in/out to prevent pops when saving a project/muting tracks - Redesigned export dialog and more audio formats enabled - Ability to show all used/hide all unused automation lanes - New track visibility dialog including filtering by name and type - New about dialog from libadwaita - Better error handling in various situations - Support higher quality audio stretching (from rubberband 3) - Keep a whitelist of plugin authors and sandbox all other plugins - Various user manual updates - Various localization updates - Various UI/UX improvements/optimizations - Many bug fixes The list of changes in this release follows: ## [1.0.0-beta.3.9.1] - 2022-10-15 ### Added - Show dialog to create a new instrument track when dropping an instrument plugin onto a MIDI track - Add whitelist of plugin authors and bridge all other plugins ### Changed - Update Ukrainian translations - Meson: don't set -mtune=generic if not native build - JACK: handle failure to connect to monitor output gracefully - Update reproc version requirement (fixes occasional assert failures during plugin scan on Windows) - Re-enable highlighting in timeline while dragging files - Re-enable highlighting in track widgets while dragging other tracks - Meson: build bundled plugins with `-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++` by default on GNU/Linux + GCC ==== Links ==== Full changelog: https://git.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/tree/master/item/CHANGELOG.md Pending features for v1: https://todo.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm-feature?search=status%3Aopen+label%3A%22… Pending fixes for v1: https://todo.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm-bug?search=status%3Aopen+label%3A%22v1%22 Home page: <https://www.zrythm.org> Installer downloads: <https://www.zrythm.org/en/download.html> Git repository: <https://sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm> User manual: <https://manual.zrythm.org/en/index.html> Developer reference: <https://docs.zrythm.org/> Issue trackers: <https://sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/trackers> Mailing lists: <https://sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/lists> Releases: <https://www.zrythm.org/releases/> Donations: <https://www.zrythm.org/en/community.html#donate>
