Release: Patroneo v1.5, Vico v1.1 and Fluajho v1.5

by Laborejo Software Suite

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 and Fluajho version 1.5 as well as Vico v1.1 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. Fluajho (with jh as in pleasure) means fluid in Esperanto. It is a simple sf2 soundfont host/player for Linux. Behind the scenes the Fluidsynth library is at work, hence the name. Vico is a minimalistic Midi sequencer that is intended to be used in parallel with other software. "Vico" (with c like ts in "bats") just means "sequence" or "order" in Esperanto for obvious reasons. Changelog Highlights: * [Patroneo] Remember looped measure number even when changing the tracks * [Fluajho] Add convenience summing stereo-out jack ports. * [Fluajho] Show loaded sf2 as NSM label * [Vico] Save recording state and use as NSM label * [All] Better desktop program icons * [All] Provide unix manpages * [All] Bug fixes, documentation update. 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/patroneo/ https://www.laborejo.org/vico/ https://www.laborejo.org/fluajho/ Greetings, Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org/

ANN: Quarterly Release Pact April 2020 Edition

by Christopher Arndt

Dear Open Source Audio Users and Devs, as some of you might have been aware of, there is an ongoing effort in the Open Source audio software developer community to provide regular releases of Open Source audio software on the 15th of the first month of every quarter. The second instance of this in 2020 is now upon us on this April 15th. To give the software releases, which are announced on this day (and a few days before and after) a bit more publicity and provide some sort of focal point, I created a web site, which collects all these announcements: https://libremusicproduction.com/dev/release/ Please share this website wherever it may reach the target audience and, if you are a developer yourself, see the "About" link on that page to find out how your release can be listed there too. Share & Enjoy, Chris

Zrythm release v0.8.252

by Alexandros Theodotou

Zrythm v0.8.252 has been released. ![Zrythm screenshot]( https://www.zrythm.org/static/images/apr-10-2020.png) Zrythm is a digital audio workstation designed to be featureful and easy to use. It allows limitless automation, supports LV2 plugins, works with the JACK audio backend, provides chord assistance, is free software and can be used in English, French, Portuguese, Japanese and German. # Current state Zrythm is in the late alpha stage and we are implementing the final few features left before we stabilize the project format and enter the beta phase. The main changes since the last announcement are the following (view the whole changelog here: < https://git.zrythm.org/cgit/zrythm/tree/CHANGELOG.md>;). ## New layout Moved the transport bar to the bottom to give more breathing space to icons at the top. ## New editing capabilities Ctrl+D to duplicate, Alt+drag to link regions, cut-paste, Shift+M to mute/unmute objects and more. ## Bounce to audio Right click on MIDI material -> bounce to bounce the signal into an audio region. ## Automation recording Automation can now be recorded live in latch/touch modes. ## Audio fades Audio regions have editable fade in/out markers, with various fade algorithms. ## Choice of automation algorithms Right clicking on automation curves allows changing the curve algorithm. ## GNU Guile scripting interface Zrythm now has user scripting support through a [GNU Guile]( https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/) [API]( https://manual.zrythm.org/en/scripting/intro.html). GNU Guile is an implementation of the Scheme language, a dialect of LISP. ## New backends Added support for RtAudio, RtMidi and SDL2 backends. ## Serializable undo history The Undo/Redo history is now saved with projects. # Download & install Zrythm can be built from [source](https://git.zrythm.org/cgit/zrythm) at no cost or pre-built packages can be downloaded for various distros for a fee at <https://www.zrythm.org/en/download.html>;. Downloading an installer is the best way to support this project. # Next steps Our current goal is to get to beta as soon as possible. Getting to beta means the project format will (mostly) freeze, meaning that projects saved with different Zrythm versions will be compatible. This means that we must implement all project-breaking features for version 1 before beta, and work on stability during beta. # Links Home page: <https://www.zrythm.org> Git repositories: <https://git.zrythm.org/cgit/> Manual: <https://manual.zrythm.org/en/index.html> Developer reference: <https://docs.zrythm.org/> Bug reports: <https://redmine.zrythm.org/projects/zrythm/issues> Releases: <https://www.zrythm.org/releases/>

Initial rtpmidid release. 20.04 #stayathome

by David Moreno Montero

Initial rtpmidid release. 20.04 #stayathome https://github.com/davidmoreno/rtpmidid/releases/tag/v20.04.5 Features: - Basic RTP MIDI protocol implementation for Linux - Use of UDP/IP to communicate MIDI devices - Most common MIDI messages: Notes, CC, Pitch Bend... - Interoperable with Windows, Mac OS*, iPad, Android and Hardware Devices. And with other rtpmidid instances. - Uses ALSA sequencer interface (tip: qjackctl is great for managing connections) - Use mDNS for easy discovery of other ends - This release includes packages for Ubuntu and Raspbian. - GPLv3 License (*) Not tested as I don't have access to Hardware. But if it works on iPad it should work on Mac OS. This marks the first rtpmidi release, the #stayathome edition. Beta version It has minimal features and can be used on experimental setups to use rtpmidi. It has been tested with iPads, Android (TouchDAW), rtpmidi for Windows, and Deepmind12 for hardware. It has no support for the journal, so in theory some MIDI packets might be lost, which can be a problem. The introspection capabilities are also very limited, just now only on the logging data and a bit via the rtpmidid-cli. Please leave comments, feature requests, bugs and improvements at https://github.com/davidmoreno/rtpmidid/ -- David Moreno Montero dmoreno(a)coralbits.com +34 658 18 77 17 [image: Coralbits.com] <http://www.coralbits.com/> http://www.coralbits.com

Qtractor 0.9.13 - A QStuff* Spring'20 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, just one third time! Qtractor 0.9.13 (spring'20) is released! Change-log: - All meters background color are now customize-able (cf. View/Options.../Display/Meters, color level "Back"). - Automatic mixer grid layout (multi-row) is now in effect permanently--being an option no more. - Always show plugins and meters on track list/left pane as permanent standard now. - LV2 UI Request-value feature/interface support has been implemented. - Audio output monitoring meters are now shown/hidden auto-magically on MIDI tracks and/or buses--no need for some user preference option anymore (ie. View/Options.../Plugins/Instruments/Show audio output monitoring meters, is now gone). - Default track height has been slightly increased. - Track / Duplicate Track... now also takes a MIDI track's audio meters setting into account. - VST3 plug-in support introduced. (EXPERIMENTAL) - Fixed first bar/measure position drawing on the time-scale/grid across time-signature changes on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) (hopefully fixing issue #245). - Plugins and meters on track list/left pane, are now being set on as default--maybe going stapled in some near future ;) - Make man page compression reproducible (after request by Jelle van der Waa, while on the Vee-Ones, thanks). - Avoid resetting top or left position when zooming with mouse pointer is in main tracks or MIDI clip editor (piano-roll) views. - Make libaubio a build dependency on Debian/Ubuntu; also fix cross-build check to sizeof(float). - Bumped copyright headers into the New Year (2020). 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.

ICAD 2020 Conference Postponed to 2021

by Kyla McMullen

*apologies if you receive this twice* Dear ICAD Members, On behalf of the ICAD Board, it is with great deliberation that we inform you that the physical meeting for ICAD 2020 in Gainesville, Florida from June 7-11 2020 has been postponed until June of 2021. The ICAD Board has thoroughly considered the health, well-being, and safety of our attendees, and ultimately this was the best choice during these unpredictable times. For authors, the submitted papers will officially be withdrawn without any review (no papers were sent to reviewers or otherwise viewed by the program committee). ICAD will be held next June at the University of Florida, so we are essentially shifting everything back by one year. Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to any of the ICAD 2020 organizing team. Stay tuned for more updates on how to remain engaged with ICAD. We hope that you will be with us for ICAD 2021 in Gainesville, FL. Thank you, Kyla McMullen ICAD 2021 General Chair -- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Kyla A.
