Release: New Session Manager Version 1.3

by software＠linuxaudio.org

Linuxaudio.org presents: New Session Manager Version 1.3 New Session Manager (NSM) is a tool to assist music production by grouping standalone programs into sessions. Your workflow becomes easy to manage, robust and fast by leveraging the full potential of cooperative applications. It is a community version of the "NON Session Manager" and free in every sense of the word: free of cost, free to share and use, free of spyware or ads, free-and-open-source. You can create a session, or project, add programs to it and then use commands to save, start/stop, hide/show all programs at once, or individually. At a later date you can then re-open the session and continue where you left off. All files belonging to the session will be saved in the same directory. New-Session-Manager is already included as binary package in Archlinux and KXStudio and will eventually replace Non-Session-Manager. You can find the source release on Github: https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager/releases/tag/v1.3 Bullet Points * Drop-In replacement for the non-session-manager daemon nsmd and tools (e.g. jackpatch) * Simple and hassle-free build system to make packaging easy * Possibility to react to sensible bug fixes that would not have been integrated into original nsmd * Stay upwards and downwards compatible with original nsmd * Conservative and hesitant in regards to new features and behaviour-changes, but possible in principle * Keep the session-manager separate from the other NON* tools Mixer, Sequencer and Timeline. * Protect nsmd from vanishing from the internet one day. * The goal is to become the de-facto standard session manager for Linux distributions Changes since non-session-manager v1.2 (2017-07-08) * Rebranding to "new session manager" * Upstream GUI tools "non-session-manager" and "nsm-proxy" converted to standard FLTK instead of a custom toolkit * New message /nsm/gui/session/root raises NSM_API_VERSION_MINOR from 0 to 1 (1.0 -> 1.1) * Changed build system to meson * License upgraded to GPLv3 * Simplified file structure * Fix compiler warnings. This is a joint release from multiple people under the linuxaudio.org "brand". https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager Greetings, dvzrv, falktx and nils

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. 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

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.
