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.

There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing
between instruments.

On behalf of the Rivendell audio community, I’m pleased to announce the initial beta release of GlassPlayer, a minimalist live audio player. that is available under the GNU Public License v2.
From the README file:
*** snip snip ***
GlassPlayer is a minimalist audio stream player for IceCast and Shoutcast
streaming servers as well as HLS streams. It supports the following audio
output types:
Advanced Linux Sound Architeture (ALSA)
File Streaming (FILE)
JACK Audio Connection Kit (JACK)
Standard Output (STDOUT)
Windows Multimedia Extensions (MME)
The base GlassPlayer component utilizes no configuration files or
GUI interface whatsoever; with the 'user interface' consisting entirely of
the command-line invocation. As such, it is well suited for use cases where
the player is completely driven by an external system or script.
The following audio codecs are supported:
OggOpus
OggVorbis
MPEG-1/2 Layer 2 ('MP2')
MPEG-1/2 Layer 3 ('MP3')
MPEG-4 Advanced Audio Coding, High Efficiency Profile ('HE-AAC+')
*** snip snip ***
Further information, including full source code, is available at https://github.com/RadioFreeAsia/GlassPlayer.
Cheers!

Hi all,
I've updated Ninjas2 audio sample slicer plugin.
Source and binaries (linux/windows/mac) are available at :
https://github.com/rghvdberg/ninjas2/releases/tag/v0.2.0
readme : https://github.com/rghvdberg/ninjas2/blob/master/README.md
>From the readme:
#Goal:
Easy to use sample slicer, quick slicing of sample and auto-mapping
slices to midi note numbers.
# Intended usage:
Primarily targeted at chopping up loops or short ( ≈ 10 - 20 seconds)
samples. Think drum loops, vocal chops etc. Currently there's no limit
on imported sample length. User can play the slices using midi notes
and change the pitch with midi pitchbend.
# Downloads:
Linux, Windows and Mac binaries for several architectures are
available here. There are no installers, just unzip and copy the
plugin to an appropiate location.
# New Features
- redesigned interface
- controls are grouped in Global, Slicing and Slice
- the Slice box shows the currently selected slice number
- keyboard
- click on key to play slice
- red dot on key indicates which slice is currently selected in
the waveform display
- keys that don't have a slice mapped to them are greyed out
# Known Bugs and Limitations
- some host don't work very well with the lv2 version
- zrythm and qtractor had trouble with the lv2 version but worked
fine with the vst
- ardour, carla and muse3 worked well with the lv2
- care should be taken when automating the playmodes and adsr
- the automation is sent to the currently played note (slice),
when multiple slices are played, this leads to "undefinied behaviour"

*Check whether a given LV2 plugin is up to the specification*
An LV2 lint-like tool that checks whether a given plugin and its UI(s) match up
with the provided metadata and adhere to well-known best practices.
Run it as part of your continuous integration pipeline together with
lv2/sord\_validate to reduce the likelihood of shipping plugins with major flaws
in order to prevent unsatisfied users.
*Note: This is an early release, if you happen to find false-positive warnings
when using this tool, please report back, so it can be fixed.*

*a Just-in-Time FAUST compiler embedded in an LV2 plugin*
Write LV2 audio/cv instruments/filters directly in your host in FAUST
DSP language without any need to restart/reload host or plugin upon code changes.
Use it for one-off instruments/filters, prototyping, experimenting or
glueing stuff together.
*Note: This is an early release, it may thus have rough edges and will need a
fairly recent libFAUST and/or bleeding edge GNU/Linux distribution.*
*Note: libFAUST 2.20.2 has a broken LLVM C-API and thus will be non-functional
with this plugin.*
