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 1.6, Fluajho 1.6 and Vico v1.2
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:
* [Fluajho] New GUI layout
* [Fluajho] Do not auto connect under NSM
* [Vico] Allow recording right from program start
* [All] Fix crashes and problems with recent Qt 5.15 release
* [All] Quit under NSM works now
* [All] Fix accidental transparency in Wayland
* [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.

Hi
The first public releases of
FatFrog - Valve amplifier simulation
https://github.com/brummer10/LittleFly.lv2
and
LittleFly - Overdrive/Distortion pedal simulation
https://github.com/brummer10/LittleFly.lv2

rtpmidid is a Linux daemon that bridges between the ALSA sequencer and
another RTP MIDI compatible network connected system. This allows to use
MIDI over Ethernet for Linux systems.
Find it at https://github.com/davidmoreno/rtpmidid/releases
This new version features compatibility with Apple systems (iOS and MacOS),
enhances compatibility with rtpmidi for Windows, and debuts the librtpmidid
library.
rtpmidid 20.07 comes with these new features:
- Compatibility with Apple RTP MIDI implementation: Mac OS and iOS.
- Improved stability.
- Basic CLI interface. Uses a Unix socket and JSON so other frontends
could exist.
- Separate LGPL2.1 library for the rtpmidi protocol.
In this version the librtpmidid library is introduced. The library is
licensed with LGPL 2.1, with the idea of encouraging third parties to
include rtpmidi support in their products. It is very sad that there are a
lot of hardware devices with networking support, WiFI or Ethernet, but they
opt for private interfaces that are buggy and difficult to interconnect to.
I'm looking at you AKAI MPC One (literally, it's here on my desktop) and
your AKAI Network Driver. If you were compatible with rtpmidi you would
just work on Apple Devices, and with a third party installation on Windows
and Linux. And MPC could use your massive MIDI possibilities with any other
MIDI device on the network.
The library is OS independent and implements just the protocol so the MIDI
bytes can be used in whatever capacity the program needs them.
If anybody can contact the decision makers and advocate for the use of
librtpmidid in hardware music equipment, please do so, and point the
relevant persons to this library. And if you are a person with some
decision power in this, please contact me, and I will help make this happen
in whatever way I can.
Known bugs:
- It looks like it can take up to 30 seconds to reconnect to Mac OS.
- There is no journal implementation yet. Should not be a problem for
local networks, and rtpmidi is actually not ready for public networks, so
this should not be a big deal.
Roadmap for the next version:
- Journal for notes and control
- Timing implementation, so we can force a stable latency
- Full SysEx support
If you think you can help on any of these things, or anything else you
would like to see in rtpmidid, please open an issue and lets do it!
Thanks,
David.
Hello,
a new version of B.SEQuenzr is just released. B.SEQuenzr is a
programmable multi channel step sequencer. Synchronization options are
added as new features. And it comes along with some basic factory
presets (arpeggios, drum beats) now.
Key features:
* Selectable pattern matrix size (8x16, 16x16, 24x16, or 32x16)
* Progammability via controls for playing direction, jump, skip, and
stop options placeable to any position within the matrix
* Autoplay or host / MIDI controlled playing
* Handles multiple MIDI inputs signals (keys) in one sequencer instance
* Use musical scales and / or drumkits
* Scale & drumkit editor
* Notes can be associated with four different, configurable output channels
* Output channels connectable with individual MIDI channels
What's new:
* Select between
* Restart from step 0,
* Restart from step 0 and sync with running steps,
* Or continue from running step if key pressed
* Enable MIDI Thru (important for downstream generator plugins!)
* Factory presets added (Techno, Standard Rock, Jazz, and Disco drumkits)
* Compiler error with gcc10 fixed

MCPDISP is a utility to add a display on to a Mackie Control based control
surface that does not have it's own display such as the bcf2000. This is
important if banking is being used (the project has more than 8 tracks)
and also provides things like timecode or bar/beat readouts.
At present this is a jackd only utility though it should be possible to
bridge to ALSA using a2jmidid. Perhaps a later version will move to ALSA
MIDI instead.
The latest version can be found at:
https://github.com/ovenwerks/mcpdisp/releases/tag/mcpdisp-0.1.2
Some Packaging scripts were optimizing the buffer to the stack. This
release fixes that.
Licenced as GPL-2+.

jack_mixer is a GTK JACK audio mixer app with a look similar to its
hardware counterpart. It has lot of useful features, apart from being
able to mix multiple JACK audio streams. It is licensed under GPL
version 2 (or later).
https://rdio.space/jackmixer/https://rdio.space/jackmixer/tarballs/jack_mixer-12.tar.gz
Changes in version 12?
----------------------
* Added reporting of the current volume through SIGUSR1 signal to
jack_mix_box.
* Reset color of over 0db/NaN peak on click.
* Fixed memory leaks.
* Fixed some Python 3 compatibility leftovers.
And there is now a GitHub project for your features, or feature
requests, bugs, etc. -> https://github.com/jack-mixer/jack_mixer
With contributions from Daniel Sheeler and Athanasios Silis, thanks!
Enjoy,

Hi,
after a few weeks of development, it's now time for the first release of
B.Schaffl. B.Schaffl is a pattern-controlled MIDI amplification and
stretch LV2 plugin.
Key features:
* Stretch or compress any MIDI signal
* Create swing and shuffle rhythms
* Create pre-generator dynamics
* Use /tempo rubato/
* MIDI filters
* Smart quantization
Take care, it's a pre-release. Some features may be removed or replaced
until the release of the final version. New features may be introduces.
Work is still in progression. Any ideas are welcome.
Project page / contribution: https://github.com/sjaehn/BSchaffl

Acknowledgments
* Bart Brouns for the original idea plus subsequent ideas about
principle and features
* Robin Gareus for ideas to technically solve *rubato*-related problems
