ANN: Drumstick Libraries v2.1.0 Released

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 for v2.1.0 * Implemented ticket #25: chromatic scale highlight palette * Implemented ticket #26: customizable texture for black and white keys * fix for ticket #23: library headers * fix for ticket #27: error parsing wrk files * Implemented palette serialization methods. Fixed lost attributes when piano scene is rebuilt. * drumstick-guiplayer: fixed stop playback, removed Overture mimetype from desktop file * Widgets and utils: Spanish translation updated. * Widgets: Russian translation update. Thanks to Sergey Basalaev * Widgets: Czech translation update. Thanks to Pavel Fric Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: CMake 3.9 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/2.1.0/

Qtractor 0.9.21 - An End-of-Winter'21 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello thrice! Qtractor 0.9.21 (end-of-winter'21) is out! Change-log: - Ignore snap while ALT key is pressed, on the main track-view and the MIDI clip editors (aka. piano-roll). - Fixed a FTBFS when native LV2 UI GTK2 support is disabled. - Fix IPlugView leaks for VST3 plugins. 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.

Vee One Suite 0.9.21 - An End-of-Winter'21 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello twice! The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments, synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are here and now rolled out as the second batch to the so called 'QStuff*' (northern) End-of-Winter'21 release season. All still delivered in dual form:: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non/New Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Changes for this 'end-of-season' are as follows: - Fixed an old lurker, causing slight differences to voice on-sets, due to a wrong initial LFO Volume ramping value. - Slightly improved eye-candyness to all graphic widgets, most especially on the EG widget handling, curved lines and gradient fills. The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later.

[ANN] jack_mixer version 15 released

by Christopher Arndt

Hello FLOSS audio people! I'm proud to announce the new release of jack_mixer version 15! jack_mixer is a GTK+ JACK audio mixer app with a look & handling similar to hardware mixing desks. Please visit the project's homepage at rdio.space/jackmixer for more information. You can find the new release on Github at: https://github.com/jack-mixer/jack_mixer/releases/tag/release-15 **Important change:** 'jack_mixer' now uses [meson] for building and installation. See 'INSTALL.md' in the source for new build instructions. New: * A global setting for default project file path was added and can be changed in the preference dialog. The default value is '$XDG_DATA_HOME/jack_mixer' (which is normally '~/.local/share/jack_mixer'). * A "Recent projects" menu was added, to allow loading recently used / saved projects more quickly. * Direct channel output ports are now optional and can be enabled / disabled in the channel preferences dialog. * Ctrl+left-click on the mute ("M") or solo ("S") channel buttons now activates exclusive mute resp. solo. * A man page for 'jack_mixer' was added. * 'jack_mix_box' now supports the '-p|--pickup' command line option to enable MIDI pickup mode, to prevent sudden volume or balance value jumps. Fixed: * Activating the solo function on an input channel could cause its output signal be sent to the monitor outputs instead of the signal from the channel, which had monitoring activated. * Volume and balance level and mute and solo state changes originating from the UI now send the correct assigned MIDI CCs, allowing for MIDI feedback to controllers. Same for changes originating from reception of assigend MIDI CCs. * The handler for right-clicking the input channel mute/solo buttons, was accidentally removed and is now re-instated. * Creating a new output channel assigns it a randomly chosen color, which can be changed in the new channel dialog (used to work some releases ago, but was broken at some point). * The 'jack_mix_box' command line options '--help' and '--stereo' erroneously required an argument. * Saving the current project on reception of the 'SIGUSR1' signal, which is a requirement for LADISH level L1 support, was broken in version 14. * When re-ording channels via drag-and-drop, the order of the edit / remove channel menu items were not updated. * When creating an output channel, it could happen that the initial channel volume would ranmdomly be set to -inf or 0 dB, regardless of what was selected in new channel dialog. Changed: * The minimum supported Python version is now 3.6. * The 'jack_mix_box' command line usage help message was improved. * The channel strip buttons (solo, mute, etc.) now have more distinctive colors when activated or the mouse hovers over them. * The balance slider step size was increased slightly so right-clicking the slider changes the value more rapidly. * When using the "Save as..." function, 'jack_mixer' now sets the default filename and directory for file chooser to the last ones used. * A window title was added to the preferences dialog. * MIDI control for mute and solo now interprets control value 0-63 as off and 64-127 as on, instead of toggling the state on reception of any controller value. Project infrastructure and internals: * The 'jack_mixer_c' Python extension module, which was originally implemented in hand-written C code using the PYTHON C API, was replaced with the '_jack_mixer' extension module implemented in Cython, which generates the C code in '_jack_mixer.c'. * The autotools build toolchain was replaced with a build setup using meson, which improves build times and maintainability markedly. See the file 'INSTALL.md' for updated build and installation instructions. * A build option to allow buidling only 'jack_mix_box' was added ('-Dgui=disabled'). * All Python code was re-formatted with [black]. * All errors and warings reported by [flake8] were fixed or are expressively and selectively ignored. * The file 'version.py' is now generated from the version set in the project definition in the top-level 'meson.build' file, leaving this as the only place where the version number needs to be updated before a release. * The 'NEWS' file was renamed to 'CHANGELOG.md' and converted to Markdown format.

Hello all, one third and last time, Qtractor 0.9.20 (winter'21) is out! Change-log: - Fixed and improved automation curve recording, whenever playback is rolling (and also when isn't:)). - Fixed parsing/loading of large session bundle archive/zip files (.qtz > 2GB). - Fixed LV2 plug-in UI X11 (native) resize. - Make NSM state file names independent to session display names, keeping backward compatibility for old sessions. - Exiting, quitting or closing the main window while under NSM, now promptly asks whether to save, discard or cancel as usual. - Re-improved Mixer multi-row layout. - Fix incorrect destruction order for VST3 modules. 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.
