Initial rtpmidid release. 20.04 #stayathome

by David Moreno Montero

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/ -- David Moreno Montero dmoreno(a)coralbits.com +34 658 18 77 17 [image: Coralbits.com] <http://www.coralbits.com/> http://www.coralbits.com

Qtractor 0.9.13 - A QStuff* Spring'20 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, just one third time! Qtractor 0.9.13 (spring'20) is released! Change-log: - All meters background color are now customize-able (cf. View/Options.../Display/Meters, color level "Back"). - Automatic mixer grid layout (multi-row) is now in effect permanently--being an option no more. - Always show plugins and meters on track list/left pane as permanent standard now. - LV2 UI Request-value feature/interface support has been implemented. - Audio output monitoring meters are now shown/hidden auto-magically on MIDI tracks and/or buses--no need for some user preference option anymore (ie. View/Options.../Plugins/Instruments/Show audio output monitoring meters, is now gone). - Default track height has been slightly increased. - Track / Duplicate Track... now also takes a MIDI track's audio meters setting into account. - VST3 plug-in support introduced. (EXPERIMENTAL) - Fixed first bar/measure position drawing on the time-scale/grid across time-signature changes on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) (hopefully fixing issue #245). - Plugins and meters on track list/left pane, are now being set on as default--maybe going stapled in some near future ;) - Make man page compression reproducible (after request by Jelle van der Waa, while on the Vee-Ones, thanks). - Avoid resetting top or left position when zooming with mouse pointer is in main tracks or MIDI clip editor (piano-roll) views. - Make libaubio a build dependency on Debian/Ubuntu; also fix cross-build check to sizeof(float). - Bumped copyright headers into the New Year (2020). 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.

ICAD 2020 Conference Postponed to 2021

by Kyla McMullen

*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 -- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Kyla A.

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. >

by Fred Gleason

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of the next production release of the next major version of Rivendell, 3.3.0. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License version 2. From the 'NEWS' file: Changes: *** snip snip *** Changes: MusicBrainz Integration. The CD rippers in rdlibrary(1) can now be configured to use MusicBrainz as a metadata source as an alternative to FreeDB. (Configured in RDAdmin->ManageHosts->RDlibrary). CD-TEXT Support. Removed support for CD-TEXT. Metadata Wildcards. Support for the following metadata wildcards has been added: '%wc' - Industry Standard Commercial Identification (ISCI) code '%wi' - International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) '%wm' - MusicBrainz recording ID '%wr' - MusicBrainz release ID Filepath Wildcards. Added a 'delta-seconds' modifier to the format for filepath wildcards to allow specification of a +/- time offset. See Appendix D 'Filepath Wildcards' in the Operations Guide for details. New RML. Added a 'Disconnect All Jack Ports' ['JZ'] RML. New Report. Added a 'CounterPoint Traffic Reconciliation v2' report. Multiple bugfixes. See 'ChangeLog' for details. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 314, and will automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo. Be sure to run 'rddbmgr --modify' (as root) immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Details and source code are available at https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/releases <https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/releases>.

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.
