Initial Release: Argodejo v0.1 - "New Session Manager" GUI

by Laborejo Software Suite

Ladies and Gentlemen, hereby the Laborejo Software Suite releases, for the first time, Argodejo in a proof-of-concept version 0.1 It is released under GPLv3. Argodejo (Esperanto: 'place to set things up') is a music production session manager. It is used to start your programs, remember their (JACK) interconnections and make your life easier in general. You can seamlessly change between two view modes to quickly start a few programs or have complete control and a detailed overview. Argodejo does not re-invent the wheel but instead uses the New-Session-Manager daemon and enhances it with some tricks of its own, that always remain 100% compatible with the original sessions. This is a proof of concept version. It aims to show that session management with NSM can be quick and convenient and make the user feel in control. Some functionality has not yet been implemented, most prominently anything related to NSM over network. There is always the possibility to break things when trying out corner cases and hacks. That said, for single-computer sessions with just one daemon and one GUI at the same time Argodejo should provide a good user experience. 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/argodejo Greetings, Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org

Release: Patroneo v1.6, Vico v1.2 and Fluajho v1.6

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 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.

rtpmidid 20.07

by David Moreno Montero

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.

mcpdisp-0.1.2 release

by Len Ovens

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+. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi y'all! Let's go straight to the real good news ;)... Qtractor 0.9.15 (early-summer'20) is released! Change-log: - Fixed MIDI tracks export that were missing the end-of-export tail parameter and bailing out always with default SMF format anyway. - Fixed VST3 component/controller inter-connection. - LV2 Atom/Port-event host notification support has been retouched, but still unofficial though. - Fixed VST3 audio-processor initialization/activation when a plugin has no inputs or outputs present. - Let main window pseudo-asynchronous stabilization re. menus, tools and status bars, just faster and immediate. - Fixed MIDI track monitor re-instantiation and reset. 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 0.9.15 - An Early-Summer'20 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone! Happy to announce 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 once again released for this not-so-pretty Early-Summer'20 season... ;) There are still (the same only) two menus for you to choose: - the pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - the LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. No big deal this time, though some might welcome that: - A long awaited expedite "Panic" button is now featured. - Note velocity doesn't affect DCF envelope anymore. - Avoid glib event-loop upon LV2 plug-in instantiation. The 'Vee One Suite' are (still) free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later. So here they are again: **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.15 (early-summer'20) released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.
