==== Release Notes ====
This is the first beta release where the project format is stabilized.
If we discover any issue that requires breaking the project format,
Zrythm will take care to auto-upgrade older projects.
The remaining issues for v1 are mostly visual bugs and convenience
features. Most critical issues have already been resolved.
Since the project format is now stable and critical issues have been
resolved, we believe Zrythm can be used in production.

Dear past and future visitors of the Sonoj Convention,
the following message is made under the assumption that the world will return to a more healthy and peaceful state until October 2022.
At this point in time, I am unable to make any guarantees. Sorry.
However, the date is fixed. The convention will either be on this weekend (see below) or it will not happen at all.
The fourth annual Sonoj Convention ( https://www.sonoj.org ) will maybe(!) taking place this upcoming October 8th-9th 2022 in Cologne, Germany.
The convention is focusing on the combination of music production and free / open source software, with a priority on practical music production.
We want to welcome everyone, regardless of your musical or technical background. As it was the last times, admission to the convention is free.
While the website https://sonoj.org/ is still in it's "in-between" mode it will soon be replaced by the real site again, with more information.
To get a better idea of what to expect out of Sonoj, you can find information and recordings from last year's conventions in our archives: ( https://sonoj.org/archive )
If you want to contribute with a demonstration or talk, please contact me ( info(a)sonoj.org ). A short, informal expression of intent will be enough for now.

ICAD 2022
Call for Submission of Papers and Extended Abstracts
27th International Conference on Auditory Display
Virtual Conference
24-27 June 2022
https://icad2022.icad.org
THEME: SAFE AND SOUND
Sound is used in a wide variety of applications to alert listeners to the
status of a person or environment. At ICAD 2022, we want to highlight
sonification work that can be used to maintain awareness in some capacity
(outside navigation, hospitals, air traffic control, etc). Papers are not
limited to this theme, as we will value and embrace all types of
submissions, including papers, posters, multimedia (videos/audios), demos,
and concert pieces
Why ICAD 2022?
ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary academic conference with relevance to
researchers, practitioners, musicians, and students interested in the
design of sounds to support tasks, improve performance, guide decisions,
augment awareness, and enhance experiences. The conference is unique in its
singular focus on auditory displays and the array of perception,
technology, and application areas that this research area encompasses. Like
its predecessors, ICAD 2022 will be a single-track conference, open to all,
with no membership or affiliation requirements.
Submission Dates
Papers: April 8, 2022 (Friday)
Workshops & Tutorials: April 15, 2022 (Friday)
Student Think Tank: April 30, 2022 (Saturday)

Drumstick is a set of MIDI libraries using C++/Qt5 idioms and style.
Includes a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface: ALSA
sequencer provides software support for MIDI technology on Linux. A
complementary library provides classes for processing SMF (Standard MIDI
files: .MID/.KAR), RIFF MIDI (.RMI), and Cakewalk (.WRK) file formats. A
multiplatform realtime MIDI I/O library and a GUI Widgets libraries are
also provided for Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX.

* Utils: fixed loading translations, program names and messages.
* AppStream MetaInfo added for the three GUI utilities.
* Widgets: Fluidsynth soundfonts dialog, updated filters.
* RT: Fluidsynth backend initialization: failure report for invalid
soundfonts.
* cmake buildsystem: run qt::lupdate after building targets.
* qmake buildsystem: Fixed linking tests.
* fixed install: header missing when only BUILD_ALSA is selected.
Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms:
* C++11 compiler
* CMake 3.14
* Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 (experimental, with Qt6Core5Compat library
dependency for Drumstick::File)
Feature dependencies (for some platforms):
* ALSA (Linux only)
* PulseAudio (Unix)
* D-Bus (Unix)
* FluidSynth

Hi!
We just spent some time digging out a fast and light sampler formerly
called tapeutape initially developped by Hitmuri (Florent Berthaut).
We've added some functionnalities, mostly OSC control and NSM
compatibility things, and refreshed the UI a (very) little bit. We now
call it tap192.
It now works for us, there are still a lot of bugs in it, most of them
ignored by us, cause they don't occur in our use cases.
So, we'd need to have people testing it and reporting bugs, so that we
might fix them, and have this small MIDI- and OSC-controlable sampler
working for everyone.
You can find the sources here:
https://github.com/PlagiatBros/tap192
Precisions:
- The manual is at "work-in-progress" state, except the OSC control API,
it doesn't contain much. So you'll have to find by yourself how this
sampler works, but by the way, it's pretty simple, and we kept it as it
were at first. If needed, we can give you some help using it on
orl(a)ammd.net or on irc.libera.chat #ammd-dev (ask jean-emmanuel or orl).
- We use github issue tracker: https://github.com/PlagiatBros/tap192/issues
Thanks a lot.
Jean-Emmanuel and ORL
