Hi, it's easy to make a new plugin within only four days ... ... if you can use something else. Big thanks to Chris "Airwindows" Johnson. B.Angr is a multi-dimensional dynamically distorted staggered multi-bandpass LV2 plugin. But what the hell does this mean? B.Angr basically consists of four parameter instances of Airwindows XRegion. XRegion itself is a distorted multi-bandpass filter plugin. B.Angr fades automatically or manually between the four parameter instances. The result is a dynamic and heavily distorted sound. See the preview video.

Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.3.1 Released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

This application is a multiplatform MIDI file player for Linux, Windows and macOS. It reads .MID (Standard MIDI Files), .KAR (Karaoke), and .WRK (Cakewalk) file formats, and outputs MIDI events to hardware MIDI ports and also software synths. 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 (Standard MIDI Files) and WRK (Cakewalk) file formats Changes in v1.3.1: * Fix for ticket#4: crash if user tries to close the program's main window while playing * Fix for ticket#6: man page added (pandoc source) * Warn the user when the playlist has changed but not saved * New setting for playlist auto advance Build requirements: * C++11 compiler * Qt5 * Drumstick libraries v2.2 * Uchardet v0.0.7 * CMake 3.14 * Pandoc for building the man page (optional) Copyright (C) 2021 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/v1.3.1/

Release(?): A web based multi-track video player with volume mixer

by Laborejo Software Suite

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is some form of release. Example first: https://laborejo.org/multichannelplayer/ Have you ever tried to convince your friends and family to install a Linux system just so they can replicate your modular setup to listen to a pre-production where they are supposed to play the saxophone solo? Me neither. But I don't think it would work. Instead: This web software with the catchy name Multichannel_Web_Video_Audio_Player_With_Volume_Mixer is a tool for the boss (you) of ensembles and bands to distribute pre-productions for practice. But nothing keeps you from using it for real music with, as some kind of novelty player. The user can adjust the volume levels of individual instruments and follow along a visual presentation (notation, conductor video etc.). This includes optional tracks, such as metronome clicks, spoken instructions or alternative versions of tracks. Because it relies on simple video files there is no limit to quality and flexibility. Works in every browser. No downloads. No obscure technology is involved. This can be used by the 60+ generation in your choir. The provided Git/README (see link below) gives more ideas and examples why this tool could be beneficial to you. The README also helps to setup your own player and offers a workflow to produce videos, which is quite complicated to be honest. This is not a "proper" release because there is nothing to package. You just copy files to your web server. License is AGPL 3 or later. https://git.laborejo.org/lss/Multichannel_Web_Video_Audio_Player_With_Volum… Yours, Nils Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org
