[LAA] The QStuff* Autumn'19 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello there! It's coming true: the old bunch of Qstuff*, QjackCtl [1], Qsynth [2], Qsampler [3], QXGEdit [4], QmidiCtl [5] and QmidiNet [6], are all catching up and aligning to the magical version 0.6.0 :) That's all pretty much and enough for now ;)... ** QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface [1] ** QjackCtl 0.6.0 (autumn'19) is out! QjackCtl is a(n ageing yet modern, not so 'simple' anymore) Qt [7] application to control the JACK [8] sound server, for the Linux Audio [12] infrastructure. Website: https://qjackctl.sourceforge.io http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net Project page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Downloads: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl/files - source tarball: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.6.0.tar.gz - source package: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.6.0-39.rncbc.suse.src.rpm - binary package: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.6.0-39.rncbc.suse.x86_64.rpm - AppImage [20] package: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.6.0-39.x86_64.AppImage Git repos: https://git.code.sf.net/p/qjackctl/code https://github.com/rncbc/qjackctl.git https://gitlab.com/rncbc/qjackctl.git https://bitbucket.com/rncbc/qjackctl.git Change-log: - Graph: avoid self-connecting over their own ports when client nodes are selected as a whole group; also try to match port-types in a orderly fashion when connecting multiple selected ports. - Changing current JACK buffer size from Setup dialog (cf. Settings / Frames/Period) may now take effect just immediately ;) - An 'Apply' button as been added to the Setup dialog; ask whether to restart the JACK audio server, if any settings are changed. - Added alternate yet non-official CMake build option. - Fix HiDPI display screen effective support (Qt >= 5.6). - Command line arguments (--start, --preset=[label] and --active-patchbay=[path]) are passed and take effect on the current singleton/unique application instance, when enabled and already running. - System-tray icon context menu has been refactored to be exactly the same as the main-window context menu that is re-instantiated on demand. - Make sure compiler flags comply to c++11 as standard. ** Qsynth - A fluidsynth Qt GUI Interface [2] ** Qsynth 0.6.0 (autumn'19) is out!

QmidiCtl [5] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [15] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI [15] for Windows. QmidiCtl [5] was long ago designed for the Maemo [17] enabled handheld devices, namely the late Nokia N900 [18] and promoted to the Maemo Package [18] repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [5] may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android application as well.

[LAA] GxMatchEQ.lv2 V0.1 released

by Hermann Meyer

The first release of GxMatchEq. A Matching Equalizer to apply a EQ curve from on source to a other source. GxMatchEq analyze the spectral profile of a sound source, analyze the spectral profile of a sound destination, and calculate the EQ settings needed to make the destination match the source. Source analyses could be saved as 'Profiles' and reused for as many destinations as you wish. Match curves could be saved as presets to reuse the same settings when ever needed.

[LAA] rkr lv2 beta 3

by Spencer Jackson

Yo: I know this project has been in beta for a ridiculous amount of time, but I still haven't mustered the time and effort to give everything a proper test. However we have had a few community contributed fixes which warrants a new release. Thanks to Robin (x42) we now have a working Vibe effect and the bypass has been improved in all the effects (which probably won't be very noticeable to users). Happy LARD (Linux Audio Release Day)! https://github.com/ssj71/rkrlv2/releases/tag/beta_3 _Spencer (ssj71)

[LAA] [ANN] midiomatic plugins 0.1.0 beta release

by Christopher Arndt

Hola, I'm pleased to announce version 0.1.0-beta2 of the *midiomatic* plugin collection as the first public beta release. What is it? ----------- *midiomatic* is a small collection of MIDI filter, generator and processor plugins in LV2 and VST2 format. This collection arose from the desire to test whether it is viable to implement MIDI processing plugins with the DISTRHO Plugin Framework (DPF). This is the first public release and the project is still considered to be in beta stage. The MIDISysFilter and MIDIPBToCC plugins are already considered stable but the MIDICCRecorder plugin is still experimental. I'm planning to add more plugins to the collection. Requests and ideas for plugins welcome. Where to get it? ---------------- https://github.com/SpotlightKid/midiomatic or, for Arch Linux users, from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/midiomatic/ *Share & Enjoy* Christopher Arndt

[LAA] [ANN] python-rtmidi 1.3.1 released

by Christopher Arndt

Ciao tutti! I'm pleased to announce that version 1.3.1 of *python-rtmidi* has just been released! What is it? ----------- python-rtmidi is a Python binding for RtMidi, a set of C++ classes which provides a cross-platform API for realtime MIDI input / output. python-rtmidi supports Python 2 and Python 3 (3.4+) and is available for Linux, macOS (OS X) and Windows. What's new? ----------- This is a bugfix release with only minor enhancements. The major changes are: * RtMidi C++ level exceptions, when thrown, do not print the error message to stderr anymore. * RtMidi C++ exceptions are now caught when creating RtMidiIn/Out instances and converted into a Python rtmidi.SystemError exception. * Helper functions in rtmidi.midiutil now raise sub-classes of rtmidi.RtMidiError wherever appropriate. * When the JACK backend can't be initialized (e.g. when the server isn't running) it causes a DRIVER_ERROR instead of just a printing a WARNING. * Various improvements to the included example scripts. * Various small documentation wording changes and typo fixes. For a detailed list of changes, see the change log here: https://github.com/SpotlightKid/python-rtmidi/blob/master/CHANGELOG.rst Where to get it? ---------------- https://github.com/SpotlightKid/python-rtmidi or via pip: pip install python-rtmidi (Pre-compiled binary wheels for Windows and macOS for several Python versions in 32 and 64 bit variants are provided.) or, for Arch Linux users, from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-rtmidi/ How to use it? -------------- Please read the documentation here: https://spotlightkid.github.io/python-rtmidi/ *Share & Enjoy* Christopher Arndt

[LAA] [ANN] jack-select 1.4.0 released

by Christopher Arndt

Hallöle! a new version 1.4.0 of *jack-select* has just been released! What is it? *jack-select* is a systray app to set the JACK configuration from QjackCtl presets via DBus. It displays an icon in the system tray of your desktop, which shows the status of the JACK audio server and when you click on it, a menu pops up, which lets you quickly select from the JACK configuration presets you created with QjackCtl. This allows you to switch between different audio setups with just two mouse clicks. *jack-select* works with the DBus-version of JACK only. It is written in Python 3 using the ``PyGObject`` bindings for GTK 3. Python 2 is not supported. What's new? * The configuration file path can be given via command line option * When a preset name is given on the command line (or the -d option is used), activate the (default) preset also when jack-select was not already running. * Updated man page. * Major internal code restructuring. * Map all JACK settings to a D-BUS type explicitly. * Support 'slave-driver' engine parameter (this is not present in QjackCtl's configuration file, though). Where to get it? https://github.com/SpotlightKid/jack-select or via pip (but see the "Requirements" section in the README first): pip install jack-select or, for Arch Linux users, from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jack-select/ How to use it? `man jack-select` or see the README file here: https://github.com/SpotlightKid/jack-select/blob/master/README.md *Share & Enjoy* Christopher Arndt
