Vee One Suite 0.9.13 - A QStuff* Spring'20 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings once more, The 'Vee One Suite' of so called '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 all being released now for the second 'QStuff*' Spring'20 batch of the (quarantine) season. All still available in dual form deliveries: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Not much of a ravishing change-log, just on the brink of utterly boring maintenance stuff: - Always keep the current sample loop-cycle on note-off, while entering a DCA Release stage. (applies to samplv1 [2] only) - Maximum pitch-bend range has been expanded to 0..400%, allegedly to support some PME driven instruments. - Make man page compression reproducible (after request by Jelle van der Waa, thanks). - Fixed crash when showing the tooltip of a negative note number that results from dragging over and beyond the left edge of the virtual piano keyboard. - Remove -v (verbose) flag from 'strip' post-link command. - Fixed CMake build by adding missing Custom Color Theme (palette) form file (.ui). - Bumped copyright headers into the New Year (2020). 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. **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.13 (spring'20) released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

pajackconnect v1.0 released

by Hermann Meyer

I just noticed to day that I never have done a proper release for pajackconnect. I use it since 3 years every day, mostly without notice it at all. Today I receive a contribution which fix some (small, but well worth to fix) issues, that reminds me to go and make a release. https://github.com/brummer10/pajackconnect/releases/tag/v1.0 From the README: > Make JACK Work With PulseAudio > > This script is intended to be invoked via QjackCtl to start up and > shut down JACK on a system running PulseAudio. It handles the > necessary setup to make the two work together, so PulseAudio clients > get transparently routed through JACK while the latter is running, or > if pulseaudio is suspend by pasuspender, do nothing > > Usage: in QjackCtl’s Settings window, in the “Options” tab, enter the > command > > pajackconnect start & > > in the field labelled “Execute script after Startup”, and put > > pajackconnect stop & > > in the field labelled “Execute script on Shutdown”. > > pajackconnect reset & > > in the field labelled “Execute script after Shutdown”. > > for use jack without pulseaudio, add in Qjackctl setting window in the > serverpath field 'pasuspender -- ' before 'jackd', save settings as > "No Pulse" for example. Remove 'pasuspender -- ', and save settings as > 'Pulse'. Now you can select from the Qjackctl setting window, if you > would start jack with or without pulse. > > To make it work after suspend, the file resume-fix-pulseaudio.service > needs to be installed and enabled. If you use the debian package, the > package installer handle that for you. >

jackfreqd 0.2.0

by osamarin68＠gmail.com

Hi, all! A lot of time ago Robin Gareus created jackfreqd: a daemon that changes the CPU frequency based on the jack DSP load. It used the 'userspace' cpu scaling governor. Then the newer CPUs appeared. The newer Linux kernel started using the 'intel_pstate' cpu scaling driver that supports a lot of features of the new cpus, including turbo bust. CPU frequency raises automaticaly when CPU is loaded and it returns back to the minimal value (usually 800mhz) when CPU is idle. But when using jack audio connection kit with several application threads, these threads are spreading across cpu cores, and cpu load is not sufficient for required rasing cpu frequency. It causes XRuns and the sound distortion. Unfortunately, the intel_pstate driver does not provide the 'userspace' governor required by jackfreqd. provides only two cpu scaling governors: 'powersave' - cpu itself selectss the frequency to work at - and 'performance, that locks CPU frequency at the hihest value available for 100% load on all cores. Most of linux audio tuning guides recommend to set governor to 'performance' all the time. But there are some disadvantages of this solution. 1. The cpu frequency is high even this is not necessary. 2. It causes high CPU voltage that lowers the CPU time to live. 3. It is unable to achieve tfor he maximum frequency for single-core load, that is usually higher then all cores. It may be not desirable if the computer is not dedicated for audio tasks and there are some single-thread applications that are preferred to run at the higest single-core frequency. The resolution of this chalange: to set the 'powersave' governor when no jack audio alpplications are active and switch it to 'performance' when jack DSP load is exceeds a configured threshold (50% by default). The new version of jackfreqd makes this automatically when the 'intel_pstate' driver is active. It continues to use the old 'userspace' governor for elder drivers. The sourcecode of jackfreqd is available at https://github.com/oleg68/jackfreqd Both rpm and source rpm packages are available rpm-based linux distributions (I've tested it in Fedora 31). https://github.com/oleg68/jackfreqd/releases/download/v0.2.0/jackfreq-0.2.0… https://github.com/oleg68/jackfreqd/releases/download/v0.2.0/jackfreq-0.2.0… I'd like to add it to the Planet CCRMA repository, but I couldn't find any information how to add a new package there.

MusE 3.1 released

by Robert Jonsson

Once more we've decided enough is enough, time to crank out a proper release, enter MusE 3.1! As per usual, more years than we care to recount has passed since the last one. And, as per usual a lot of things has been brewing during this time. Among the bigger features since 3.0 is the inclusion of a Plugin cache. This has two benefits, scanning of plugins are no longer done on a standard startup, making the startup a lot faster. Also the scanning is done in a separate process so no more crashes during startup due to issues with plugins. Here is a short list of other prominent changes since 3.0: * Metronome improved, a lot of new settings - reawakened pre count! - Auto-connect metronome to first audio output track. * General plugins improvements - Effect rack extended to 8 plugins instead of 4 - Generic plugin UI: Added 'Quirks' buttons to toolbar * LV2 plugins - Fix sequencing/syncing plugins (Helm, LV2 metronome, NoiseMak3r...) - Rewrite of state/worker support and more, fixes several synths: - Fix plugins using worker extension, such as *v1 suite (drumkv1 etc.) - Removed ALL internal LV2 support. Too hard to maintain. - Fixed LV2 X11 GUI size. - MidNam support * VST plugins - Fix # 708: Surge-vst crashes. * DSSI/VST - DSSI-VST was recently found to be working on recent kernels. There's now a plugin tab for configuring the initialization of this support from inside MusE * LADSPA plugins - Ladspa RDF (lrdf) support. * A lot of UI changes for better consistency and usability, menus, toolbars. * Many many under the hood changes for more consistency and lower cpu usage in the editors * Better support for HiDPI screens * Lots and lots of new keyboard shortcuts and now a search field in the shortcut dialog to make it easier to locate shortcuts also. * Many many new vectorized icons * More colors in UI customizable, including for stylesheets * Settings dialog redesigned to make it easier to navigate. * Double click on track ID selects all tracks of the same type * Transport window slightly redesigned * Improvements to midi timing * Global cut/insert improvements, fixes crashes with markers * Rewind on stop setting Teasers for major improvements: We have also some major improvements that have crept into the release but still have some issues which make us not recommend using them quite yet. * Realtime time-stretch and samplerate-stretch conversion. An embryo for this functionality exist in the Wave editor, check out the new button on the tool bar. Do consider it is not finished though. * Latency correction / compensation. In the settings there is a new tab with settings for latency compensation. Finally MusE can compensate for delays in the audio chain to keep everything in sync. This feature is not turned on by default as there are some nagging bugs that you need to be aware of, see bugs: - https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse/issues/767 - looping audio does not work - https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse/issues/682 - midi note on the start beat where you press play is not played For the complete list of changes see: https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse/blob/muse_3_1_0/muse3/ChangeLog The homepage has moved and undergone a much needed refresh, check it out: https://muse-sequencer.github.io/ Download: https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse/releases Demos page: https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse/wiki/Demos Forum: https://linuxmusicians.com/viewforum.php?f=61

spectmorph-0.5.1

by Stefan Westerfeld

spectmorph-0.5.1 has been released. If you haven't watched our video tutorial for the instrument editor added in 0.5.0, you can do so here: https://youtu.be/JlugWYPDp84 This release introduces statically linked generic 64 bit linux plugin binaries, so even if the packages don't match your linux version, you should be able to install these without compiling. This is a new feature, let me know if it doesn't work for you. Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.5.1: ---------------------------------------- * Add new LFO modes (saw, square, random) * Support generic 64-bit linux binaries - new linux file selector (no longer needs Qt) - ship font for static build * Fix crashes caused by fftw planner being used from multiple threads * Ported all python2 code to python3 * Support midi all notes off * Implement LV2 StateChanged * French translation for smjack desktop file (Olivier Humbert) * Thread race fix (JP Cimalando) * Minor fixes and cleanups What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be combined using morphing. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3 Integrating SpectMorph into your Work ------------------------------------- SpectMorph is currently available for Linux, Windows and macOS users. Here is a quick overview of how you can make music using SpectMorph. - VST Plugin, especially for proprietary solutions that don't support LV2. (Available on Linux and 64-bit Windows/macOS) - LV2 Plugin, for any sequencer that supports it. - JACK Client. Links: ------ Website: http://www.spectmorph.org Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing between instruments. -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan
