Programming LV2 plugin from scratch tutorial video series

by Sven Jaehnichen

Hi, I started with a programming tutorial series about making LV2 plugins. Really from scratch. Dedicated for beginners. I read in chats from so many hobbyist and bedroom producers that that they want to make LV2 plugins but they don't have any idea how to start. The most of them have got some basic programming experience. With Java, Python, Javascript, or maybe some basic C/C++. I want to take them by my hand and want to guide them to make some LV2 plugins. Step by step. I'm also going to explain technical aspects. The turtle language, how LV2 plugins work, what is realtime, and so on. The first videos are online: https://youtu.be/51eHCA4oCEI Two more are already pre-produced, and will follow within the next weeks. In addition, there's a great resource by David called LV2 book https://lv2plug.in/book/ which helped me to start just a few years ago. Please give me some feedback. And I'm open for any suggestion. Regards, Sven

Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.5.1 Released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

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 v1.5.1: * Fixed GH ticket #6: The dependency target "update_helpfiles" of target "dmidiplayer" does not exist. The pandoc utility is optional again. * Fixed error checking of DwmGetWindowAttribute() call. This caused a problem in Windows 7 running the "Windows Classic" theme. * Support for RIFF MIDI files, provided by Drumstick 2.4.0 * Czech manual updated, thanks to Pavel Fric Build requirements: * C++11 compiler * Qt5 * Drumstick libraries v2.3 * 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/v1.5.1/

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

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 v2.4.0: * implemented ticket #29: RIFF RMID file support. New utility dumprmi, and guiplayer updated. * implemented ticket #32: missing library version functions in File and RT libs * implemented ticket #33: versioninfo object for windows libraries * Enabled by default the internal reverb on macOS DLS Synth * Avoid hardcoded font family name in vpiano Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: * C++11 compiler * CMake 3.14 * Qt 5.7 Feature dependencies, for some platforms: * ALSA (Linux only) * PulseAudio (Unix) * D-Bus (Unix) * FluidSynth 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/2.4.0/

B.Angr 1.6.0

by Sven Jaehnichen

Hi, a new release of B.Angr is out now. B.Angr is a multi-dimensional dynamically distorted staggered multi-bandpass LV2 plugin. 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. What's new: * Faster * Optimized DSP code * Compiler optimizations (`-O3 -ffast-math`) * Support lv2:Parameters, lv2:State * Cursor XY can now externally be controlled * Binary compatibility improved * Static libs * Strip symbols by default * Binary packages provided Github: https://github.com/sjaehn/BAngr/ Releases: https://github.com/sjaehn/BAngr/releases/tag/1.6.0 Preview video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kWy_1UYazo <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kWy_1UYazo> Regards, Sven

GSequencer v3.10.6 released - VST3 host support

by Joël Krähemann

Hi all, Advanced Gtk+ Sequencer version 3.10.6 just released. http://nongnu.org/gsequencer/ During the development of 3.10.x I have extended the VST3 C API wrapper library libags-vst.so. But it is not yet completed, only headers from pluginterfaces and few others are wrapped yet. We use Steinberg SDK to interface with VST3 plugins. You can use your native VST3 plugin on linux with gsequencer. The generated UI of the plugin doesn't support plugin UI yet. AgsVst3Bridge and AgsLiveVst3Bridge are your machines to make use of VST3 plugins. The VST3 host is implemented as ags-fx-vst3 recall. The effect processor gets information from AgsVst3Manager and AgsVst3Plugin. So far only MIDI note-on and note-off supported. VST3 is default off as you build from source. To enable it run: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-vst3 make -j8 make install regards, Joël
