[LAA] Zrythm release 1.0.0-alpha.27.0.3 [GTK3 -> GTK4]

by Alexandros Theodotou

Zrythm 1.0.0-alpha.27.0.3 has been released! ==== Demo ==== https://mastodon.social/web/@zrythm/107593312157643058 ==== About ==== Zrythm is a digital audio workstation designed to be featureful and easy to use. It allows limitless automation through curves, LFOs and envelopes, supports multiple plugin formats including LV2, VST2 and VST3, works with multiple backends including JACK, RtAudio/RtMidi and SDL2, assists with chord progressions via a special Chord Track and chord pads, and can be used in multiple languages including English, French, Portuguese, Japanese and German. Zrythm is free software written in C using the GTK4 toolkit and can be extended using GNU Guile. Zrythm is currently in alpha and we are working towards stabilizing the project format and entering the beta phase. ==== Links ==== Full changelog: https://git.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/tree/master/item/CHANGELOG.md Pending features for beta: https://todo.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm-feature?search=status%3Aopen+label%3Abeta Pending fixes for beta: https://todo.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm-bug?search=status%3Aopen%20label%3A%22be… 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/> ==== Release Notes ==== This release features a major change: the GUI toolkit that Zrythm uses has changed from GTK3 to GTK4. This change was done to take advantage of GTK4's built-in caching and hardware rendering capabilities. This change has solved a major issue we were having with the UI being slow on low spec systems or when lots of objects were on the screen. It also makes development of UI elements easier thanks to a simpler drawing API and built-in caching capabilities on the GTK4 side. The main drawback of this change is that the native mechanism that was used to embed plugin UIs is no longer available in GTK4, so native LV2 plugin support has been temporarily disabled until we find a solution. Meanwhile, Carla is now a hard dependency and will be used to load all plugin formats, including LV2. We expect there to be some regressions partly due to GTK4 not being widely adopted yet and also due to changes in the way input handling and other things work in GTK4, and we are releasing early to encourage more testing of these latest changes. Special thanks to Filipe Coelho (falktx) for exposing API to make using Carla easier on the Zrythm side and to GTK and libadwaita developers (especially Benjamin Otte, Matthias Clasen, Emmanuele Bassi, Alexander Mikhaylenko, Timm Bäder and Christian Hergert) for their help and for fixing bugs we found quickly. The list of changes follows: ## [1.0.0-alpha.27.0.3] - 2022-01-10 ### Added - New dependency libadwaita - New searchable preference dialog - Add plugin latency handling for plugins running through Carla - New Hebrew translation - Various drawing optimizations - Various DSP optimizations ### Changed - Updated plugin browser filter section - Change UI toolkit from GTK3 to GTK4 - Bump version requirements for some dependencies - Use `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to override library paths in `zrythm_launch` - Run all plugins via Carla - Port most widget drawing from cairo (software rendering) to GTK snapshot API (OpenGL) - Show toast messages when backups are saved instead of showing a blocking popup - Use SCSS to compile CSS theme - Allow DSEG font loading directly from file - Update Indonesian, Ukrainian, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Slovenian, French, Turkish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), Russian translations - Use libdir option for Zrythm lib directory instead of 'lib' - Port some widgets to new GTK4 alternatives - Use meson dictionary to generate list of languages - Use Carla patchbay variant instead of rack for loading plugins to support CV ports - Change global single-key shortcuts to require Ctrl modifier - Make strict compilation flags stricter - Add additional gtksourceview5 language spec lookup path - Redraw rulers and arrangers on every frame - Recalculate DSP graph when reallocating engine ports - Use `int_fast64_t` and `uint_fast64_t` for large DSP numbers instead of `long` for better cross-platform compatibility - Set Carla plugin window parent on Windows so the plugin window stays on top of Zrythm - Do not attempt to run `diff` to check for changes when closing the project ### Fixed - Fix issues with plugin search in plugin browser - Fix timeline minimap not drawing its contents - Meson: fix use of sse flags on non-`x86_64` systems - Fix modulators not being saved with the project - Only recreate plugin port list when selected plugin changes (fixes lag in unrelated actions) - Fix output track hash being saved as INT instead of UINT in channel leading to overflows and project corruption - Fix stack smashing in recording manager when recording automation (pre-create dynamic array) - Fix error when opening a project from a running instance - Fix incorrectly freeing memory owned by GLib (`g_settings_schema_source_get_default()`) - Fix various memory issues and possible NULL dereferences reported by GCC - Fix Carla not being notified of buffer size changes - Fix missing icons in mixer and transport display - Fix automation not being drawn when the line is vertical ### Removed - Remove unused widgets/files - Remove unnecessary widget properties from UI files

[LAA] Qtractor 0.9.25 - A Winter'22 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everybody, Qtractor 0.9.25 (winter'22) is released! Change-log:: - Hopefully fixed an old MIDI off-timing bug noticeable only when exporting (Track/Export Tracks/Audio...) on large buffer-sizes (>= 2K frames/period). - Clip/File Loop Set menu command is now a toggle. - Fixed problem with punch-in/out and loop-recording being lost when stopping the play-head right after and between the loop-start and punch-in points, even though at least one cycle or take is through. - Dropped autotools (autoconf, automake, etc.) build system. - A more verbose warning question is issued, on whether to continue saving to an existing zip/archive directory and accept to replace and erase all its current data in the future. - Fixed potential crash on session close or application exit, when some plugins have been removed. 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.

[LAA] rtcqs, continuation of the realtimeconfigquickscan project

by Jeremy Jongepier

Dear all, I'd like to announce rtcqs, the continuation of the realtimeconfigquickscan project. It's a port to Python with some added extra's, like a Spectre/Meltdown mitigations check and a Qt GUI. It has the approval of the original author of realtimeconfigquickscan to whom I owe a debt of gratitude, not only for the original code but also for his helpfulness with the continuation, or maybe even evolution of the project. So check it out, indulge me with bugs, issues, improvements or any other useful feedback on the Codeberg repo which you can find at at https://codeberg.org/rtcqs/rtcqs Happy system tuning and happy holidays! Jeremy

[LAA] Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard 0.8.6 Released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

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 v0.8.6: * Fixed advanced setting on connections dialog. * Enabled empty input connection after fix on drumstick-ALSA: requires external connections utility. * Better inverted piano colors after fix on drumstick-widgets: changed the white keys background picture depending on the key background color. * Removed dependency on Qt6::Core5Compat when building with Qt6 * Requires: drumstick-2.5 Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: * CMake 3.14 * Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 note: Qt6 support is still experimental * Drumstick 2.5 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/0.8.6/

[LAA] Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.5.3 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 v1.5.3: * After drumstick ticket #37: WRK format markers are supported * Replaced deprecated signals from drumstick-file when building with Qt6 * Requires: drumstick-2.5 Build requirements: * C++11 compiler * Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 Note: Qt6 is still experimental * Drumstick libraries v2.5 * Uchardet v0.0.7 * CMake 3.14 * Pandoc (when BUILD_DOCS=on) 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/v1.5.3/

[LAA] Cowbells: a Clojure library for musical experiments and live coding

by Balázs Ruzsa

Hi. During the past year or so I've been working on a Clojure library which lets me live code FluidSynth from within a Clojure REPL. I personally use Emacs with CIDER, but it should work from a plain REPL or any other editor that supports interactive development. The project got to a point where I think it is ready to be shown to the world. Feature highlights: - drives an in-process FluidSynth instance through the C API bound into the JVM via JNR-FFI - notes can be represented by keywords (:c-3), MIDI note values or scale degrees - supports any kind of scale (just give it the list of intervals) - musical phrases can be encoded with either Clojure data structures or an equivalent text-based syntax - musical phrases can be bound to variables for reuse in other phrases - supports scoped change of scale, mode, root note, octave, semitone offset, MIDI channel, velocity, note step and duration - supports live looping (in the sense of Extempore or Sonic Pi) - the sequencer is pretty generic, it could be used to control anything, not just musical devices (e.g. it would be possible to play music and control an OpenGL visualizer via OSC simultaneously from the same patterns) - there is a tutorial which can be followed in a Clojure-capable editor, with runnable examples Note that some Clojure programming knowledge is necessary to make use of this tool. The library and the tutorial can be found at https://github.com/omkamra/cowbells Merry Christmas, Balázs Ruzsa (cellux)
