New Software: Tembro, All-in-one instrument (Sampler or Rompler)

by Laborejo Software Suite

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the first release of Tembro, the all-in-one instrument. Tembro (which is Esperanto for musical "Timbre") is a virtual software instrument based on samples. All instruments are permanently built-in, there is no option to load your own files. New instruments are only added with new releases, old ones are never removed. That makes Tembro reliable, predictable, portable and compatible. All projects and all users have the same "instrument" with the same instrument sounds, numbering system, midi controls… ; a solid basis for communication and collaboration. To indicate this initial release we start with version number 0.5.0. The majority of the envisioned feature set is implemented, but there is still a lot to do. Feedback is very much welcome. It is released under GPLv3. You can find all releases as sources here. Also check your distribution for packages in a few days after this announcement, please. https://laborejo.org/downloads/ Greetings, Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org/

[ANN] Announcing the Unofficial Pro-Audio Arch Package Repository (Beta Phase)

by Christopher Arndt

# Announcing the Unofficial Pro-Audio Arch Package Repository (Beta Phase) ## Where? <https://arch.osamc.de/> ## What? An actively maintained binary package repo for Arch Linux of free and open source pro-audio software. The repository only provides packages that are not already in the official Arch Linux repository. The repository is maintained and tested for both x86_64 and aarch64 (Arch Linux ARM) architectures. ## Why? 1. We are convinced that Arch Linux is currently the best free platform for audio production and we want to help improving it further. 2. Having more up-to-date and easy to install packages of useful audio production software is always a good thing. 3. The pro-audio packages in the `extra` and `community` package repositories are currently maintained by only one person. We want to distribute the workload and spread the packing expertise between more people and decrease the "bus-factor". 4. We want to create packages, which can eventually be migrated to the official repositories with no or minimal changes. We do not intend to duplicate the packaging efforts from the official repos. ## How? See the web site for instructions on how to add the repository to your Arch System (or derivatives). The repository is also listed on the [Unofficial user repositories] page on the Arch Wiki. We are still stabilizing the build process and packaging conventions. While this is going on, we consider the repository to be in a *Beta quality stage*. We currently have around two dozen projects packaged and ready to install and plan to add many more over time. We try to announce important changes on IRC (`#archlinux-proaudio` on `irc.libera.chat`) and always keep the information on the Arch Wiki page up to date. **Note:** *Our build process is currently not based on the official Arch Linux `devtools`, but we adhere strictly to the Arch Packaging guidelines and test all package builds via our CI. With the Arch Packaging infrastructure expected to evolve significantly in the near future, we plan to adapt our tooling to whatever the outcome of that will be. ## Contributing Contributions are welcome! To suggest software for inclusion in the repo open a GitHub issue. ### PKGBUILD and CI Code Repository and Issue Tracker: https://github.com/osam-cologne/archlinux-proaudio ### Team-Chat Discussion and coordination of the project happens on the Sonoj Rocket Chat instance. If you are interested in helping out or have questions or suggestions, join the general chat room (no registration required, English): <https://chat.sonoj.org/channel/english> [Unofficial user repositories]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories#proaudio

New Session Manager Release v1.6.0

by software＠jackaudio.org

This is a New Session Manager feature release, version 1.6.0 * https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/releases/tag/v1.6.0 It is a tool to assist music production by grouping standalone programs into sessions. Your workflow becomes easy to manage, robust and fast by leveraging the full potential of cooperative applications. You can create a session, or project, add programs to it and then use commands to save, start/stop, hide/show all programs at once, or individually. At a later date you can then re-open the session and continue where you left off. All files belonging to the session will be saved in the same directory. [CHANGELOG] [nsmd - The daemon itself] * Now follows the XDG Base Directory Specifications. * Default session directory moved from `~/NSM Sessions/` to `$XDG_DATA_HOME/nsm/` (see issue #gh-15) * The old path `~/NSM Sessions/` is still supported and has priority, for now. This may be switched off in the future. * Lockfiles fixed (see issue #gh-31) * Lockfiles are now in `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/nsm/` * Lockfiles now each contain the session path, the osc `NSM_URL` and the nsmd PID * One daemon file for each currently running nsmd is created in `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/nsm/d/` containing the osc url. This enables discovery of running daemons. * New section in the API documentation for the above. * Handle write-protected session files and related errors on save. They will not crash the daemon anymore. * Fixes and guards against trying to load non-existing sessions and creating new sessions under existing names * Handle various crashes-on-exit and replace them with controlled exits. [Jackpatch Version 1.0.0 (previously 0.2.0)] * Jackpatch will finally not "forget" connections anymore! See #gh-74 * Add a jackpatch desktop file with `X-NSM-Capable=true` and `X-NSM-Exec=nsm-proxy` and `NoDisplay=true` * Reduce verbosity level of log ouput. * Document 'hidden' standalone (no NSM) command line mode in `--help` * Handle SIGNALs even when in standalone mode [NSM-Proxy] * Add a nsm-proxy desktop file with `X-NSM-Capable=true` and `X-NSM-Exec=nsm-proxy` and `NoDisplay=true` All changes are made only on the server side, or in the tools we provide. Existing sessions, clients, and GUIs remain 100% compatible without requiring any changes. Except if you want to use the new session root directory, which is recommended. https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager
