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.

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 v0.8.252 has been released.

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.

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/

*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

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.
