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 Patroneo version 2.1.0 .
https://laborejo.org/downloads/patroneo-2.1.0.tar.gz
All software is released under GPLv3.
Patroneo (Esperanto: /Pattern/) is an easy to use, pattern based midi
sequencer, a program that sends digital "notes" to software instruments
such as synthesizers and samplers.
Changelog Highlights:
* Full Undo/Redo
* Add track groups, which double as midi bus. This enhances overview for more complex projects.
* Add option to follow the playhead in pattern view (or not), required by the much longer patterns. Also better scrolling and playhead is always visible now.
* Add option to change the midi channel for a track in the tracks context menu.
* Add View-Menu with options to maximize the two editor areas.
* Add advanced feature for a global rhythm offset, meant for Jack-Transport. Allows the whole piece to begin later on the jack-timeline.
You can find all releases as sources here. Also check your distribution
for packages in a few days after this announcement, please.

ICAD 2021
Call for Submission of Papers and Extended Abstracts
26th International Conference on Auditory Display
Virtual Conference
25-28 June 2021
https://icad2021.icad.org
THEME: “SOUNDING BOARD”
In addition to being part of the resonating chamber in a musical
instrument, the term sounding board is also a metaphor for a channel
through which ideas are discussed and disseminated. ICAD, established in
1992 has, through its 25 conference meetings, shared over 1,150 papers with
the auditory display community. This year, the conference will offer itself
as a sounding board for the community, allowing time to pause and reflect
on the history of auditory display research, review how research has
changed throughout the years, and discuss future areas of inquiry as well
as how to adapt our research during these challenging times. Therefore, the
ICAD 2021 committee is seeking full papers, abstracts, concert pieces,
demos, installations, workshops, and tutorials from across the full
spectrum of auditory display research and practice. From discussions and
reflections on the history of auditory display research with a view to
generating new ways of thinking about how we as practitioners should go
about things, to speculative ideas or news of late-breaking work,
submissions are sought across all the categories. We are particularly
interested in hearing from researchers who have never considered themselves
to be part of the community before, or whose work sits at the periphery of
the field.
Important Dates:
Full Papers - March 31st
Abstract Only Submissions (no paper published) - April 30th
Workshops/Tutorials/Demos - April 30th
Live Performances/Installations - April 30th
Doctoral Consortium/Thinktank -April 30th
For details on topics of interest, proposal format, submission
instructions, and additional conference information please visit

About ICAD:
First held in 1992, ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary conference with
relevance to researchers, practitioners, artists, and graduate students
working with sound to convey and explore information. The conference is
unique in its specific focus on auditory displays and the range of
interdisciplinary issues related to their use. Like its predecessors, ICAD
2021 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or
affiliation requirements.

liquidsfz-0.2.3 has been released
The main goal of liquidsfz is to provide an SFZ sampler implementation
library that is easy to integrate into other projects. A standalone jack
client and a LV2 plugin is also available.
liquidsfz is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version
2.1 or later. The release tarball can be downloaded here:
https://github.com/swesterfeld/liquidsfz#releases
Overview of Changes in liquidsfz-0.2.3:
=======================================
* Implement LFO support
- old style (amplfo_*, pitchlfo_*, fillfo_*)
- new style (lfoN_freq, lfoN_pitch,...)
* Preprocessor improvements
- allow #define / #include in the middle of a line
- allow to #include the same file twice
- support C style block comments
* Support curve sections and related opcodes
* Portability changes which should allow building the lib on windows
* Minor fixes and cleanups

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, LADSPA,
DSSI, SFZ, SF2, VST2 and VST3 (via Carla), 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 GTK+3 toolkit and can be
extended using GNU Guile (Scheme).

Hello Linux Audio world,
It's been a while since the last Zyn release and what better time to
have another than alongside the other quarterly releases.
The 3.0.6 release of the Zyn synthesizer is well overdue at this point,
but for the moment this is going to be the first release candidate while
some additional QA work is done to tidy things up for a proper release.
So, what's new with Zyn since the 3.0.5 release?
Well, there's some enhancements to show off internal waveforms via
oscilloscope like probes, there's progress in the area of adding
additional antialiasing to base oscillators, repeatable envelopes,
smoother amplitude and filter parameter transitions, and more.
In terms of bugs a few excessive volume bugs were tracked down, a couple
of crashes were resolved, and even a compiler bug was identified which
resulted in some long needed workarounds.
As this is a release candidate, some of the full release rigor has been
skipped, but everything should be back to normal for the full release.
For the time being just check out the 3.0.6-rc1 tag in:
The Zyn core/backend: www.github.com/zynaddsubfx/zynaddsubfx
The Zyn-Fusion GUI: www.github.com/mruby-zest/mruby-zest-build
As always the project can be reached via the zynaddsubfx-user mailing
list, the ##zynaddsubfx IRC channel on freenode, and the bug tracker
(www.github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusion-issues)
Happy Hacking,
--Mark
