Ladies and Gentlemen, hereby the Laborejo Software Suite releases updates for its programs in the hope to be useful in your musical toolbox. You can now download Agordejo version 0.3.0 https://laborejo.org/downloads/agordejo-0.3.0.tar.gz All software is released under GPLv3. Agordejo (Esperanto: 'place to set things up') is a music production session manager. It is used to start your programs, remember their (JACK) interconnections and make your life easier in general. It does not re-invent the wheel but instead uses the New-Session-Manager daemon and enhances it with some tricks of its own, that always remain 100% compatible with the original sessions. Changelog Highlights: * Remove "Quick" mode. As it turns out "Full" mode is quick enough. Port convenience features to full mode. * More buttons for session control, previously only accessible through context menus. * Add a timeline above running session to show global jack transport position. Also add controls to set the position. Saving the timeline settings per session is done via nsm-data, which increases version from 1.0 to 1.1 * More functionality in the System Tray Icon (pure save, toggle individual client visibility) * Double click on a crashed clients opens it again. * Bugfixes, Quality-of-life improvements and data integrity checks 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/ For more information, a multi-language user manual, build instructions and git access please visit https://www.laborejo.org/agordejo/ Greetings, Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org/

Qtractor 0.9.23 - An Early-Summer'21 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again, one third and last time... But happy to announce yet another point release of, drum roll please... Qtractor 0.9.23 (early-summer'21) is out! Changes for this hot season are just but a few, nothing heartbreaking: - Dropped the 'Activate' option on the plug-in Selection dialog, now being as always on by default. - Have some tolerance for JACK buffer-size changes, only prompting to a complete session reload, if increasing in double the initial period size. - Introducing plug-in blacklisting, on user discretion (in View/Options.../Plugins/Blacklist) and on inventory scan (crashed plug-ins are now automatically blacklisted). - Added special support for LV2 UI GTK2 plugins based on Gtkmm 2.4 framework. - All builds default to Qt6 (Qt >= 6.1) where available. - CMake [8] is now the official build system. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Drumstick, VMPK and dmidiplayer released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Drumstick libraries ================ 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), 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. Changes in v2.3.0: * Ticket #31: fallback drivers for Drumstick::RT * Two new methods in class BackendManager * MIDIInput* findInput(QString name) * MIDIOutput* findOutput(QString name) * They return either the requested backend or another suitable replacement. * New CMake build options: USE_PULSEAUDIO, USE_FLUIDSYNTH, USE_NETWORK, all enabled by default. * Fixed incomplete Drumstick::RT ALSA output plugin. * Drumstick::Widgets. Fixed PianoKeybd touchscreen events: if a pressure amount is not provided by the device, the default MIDI velocity is used. Otherwise, the velocity is scaled by the applied pressure. Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: CMake 3.14 and Qt 5.7 Copyright (C) 2009-2021, Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas License: GPL v3 or later Project web site https://sourceforge.net/p/drumstick Online documentation https://drumstick.sourceforge.io/docs/ Downloads https://sourceforge.net/projects/drumstick/files/2.3.0/ Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player ================================= Drumstick 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 v1.4.0: * ticket #1: Playback positioning * Replaced the progress bar by a slider, so the user can change the play position * Added forward/backward actions to advance or go back one bar * Added a Jump action to move the play position to some arbitrary bar * ticket #2: Playlist repetition options: Nothing, Last Song, Whole Playlist * ticket #8: (Lyrics text) Copy to clipboard, Save to File, Print * ticket #9: (after Drumstick ticket #31) Fallback output drivers * Playlist function shuffle * Toolbar buttons customizing dialog * preliminary support for building with Qt6 (experimental) * Czech translation updated, thanks to Pavel Fric Build requirements: * C++11 compiler * Qt5 * Drumstick libraries v2.3 * Uchardet v0.0.7 * CMake 3.14 * Pandoc for optionally building the man page Copyright (C) 2021 Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas License: GPL v3 or later Changes in v0.8.4 * Experimental support for building with Qt6 * Requires: drumstick-2.3.0 Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for questions and comments. Thanks. License: GPL v3

Drusmtick, VMPK and dmidiplayer releases

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Drumstick libraries ================ 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), 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. Changes in v2.3.0: * Ticket #31: fallback drivers for Drumstick::RT * Two new methods in class BackendManager * MIDIInput* findInput(QString name) * MIDIOutput* findOutput(QString name) * They return either the requested backend or another suitable replacement. * New CMake build options: USE_PULSEAUDIO, USE_FLUIDSYNTH, USE_NETWORK, all enabled by default. * Fixed incomplete Drumstick::RT ALSA output plugin. * Drumstick::Widgets. Fixed PianoKeybd touchscreen events: if a pressure amount is not provided by the device, the default MIDI velocity is used. Otherwise, the velocity is scaled by the applied pressure. Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: CMake 3.14 and Qt 5.7 Copyright (C) 2009-2021, Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas License: GPL v3 or later Project web site https://sourceforge.net/p/drumstick Online documentation https://drumstick.sourceforge.io/docs/ Downloads https://sourceforge.net/projects/drumstick/files/2.3.0/ Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player ================================= Drumstick 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 v1.4.0: * ticket #1: Playback positioning * Replaced the progress bar by a slider, so the user can change the play position * Added forward/backward actions to advance or go back one bar * Added a Jump action to move the play position to some arbitrary bar * ticket #2: Playlist repetition options: Nothing, Last Song, Whole Playlist * ticket #8: (Lyrics text) Copy to clipboard, Save to File, Print * ticket #9: (after Drumstick ticket #31) Fallback output drivers * Playlist function shuffle * Toolbar buttons customizing dialog * preliminary support for building with Qt6 (experimental) * Czech translation updated, thanks to Pavel Fric Build requirements: * C++11 compiler * Qt5 * Drumstick libraries v2.3 * Uchardet v0.0.7 * CMake 3.14 * Pandoc for optionally building the man page 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/v1.4.0/ Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard (VMPK) 0.8.4 ================================== Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another instrument or MIDI file player. Changes in v0.8.4 * Applied drumstick ticket #31: fallback MIDI drivers * Experimental support for building with Qt6 * Requires: drumstick-2.3.0 Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: * CMake 3.14 * Qt 5.7 * Drumstick 2.3 Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for questions and comments. Thanks. Copyright (C) 2008-2021, Pedro López-Cabanillas and others License: GPL v3 More info http://vmpk.sourceforge.net Downloads http://sourceforge.net/projects/vmpk/files/0.8.4/

B.Angr - New LV2 plugin

by Sven Jaehnichen

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.
