After many years, Carla version 2.0.0 is finally here! Carla is an audio plugin host, with support for many audio drivers and plugin formats. It has some nice features like automation of parameters via MIDI CC (and send output back as MIDI too) and full OSC control. Version 2.0 took this long because I was never truly happy with its current state, often pushing new features but not fully finishing them. So the "solution" was to put everything that is not considered stable yet behind an experimental flag in the settings. This way we can have our stable Carla faster, while upcoming features get developed and tagged as experimental during testing. Preparations for version 2.1 are well under way, a beta for it will be out soon. But that is a topic for another day. == Changes since 2.0-RC4 - Fix missing argument in note-on/off osc example - Fix word-wrap in add-plugin dialog - Fix Windows README.txt line endings - Build windows binaries with -mstackrealign - Don't show side panel in carla-control - Show "Label/URI" instead of just "Label" - Keep application signals alive (so Ctrl+C works even while engine is closed) - Update copyright year == Downloads To download Carla binaries or source code, jump on over to the KXStudio downloads section. [1] Carla v2.0.0 is available pre-packaged in the KXStudio repositories and UbuntuStudio backports, plus on ArchLinux and Ubuntu since 19.04. On those you can simply install the carla package. Bug reports and feature requests are welcome! Jump on over to the Carla's Github project page for those. [2] == Videos There is no manual or quick-start guide for Carla yet, apologies for that. But there are some videos of presentations I did regarding Carla's features and workflows, those should give you an introduction of its features and what you can do with it: @ Sonoj 2017 https://media.ccc.de/v/sonoj2017-1704-carla-plugin-host @ LAC 2018 https://media.ccc.de/v/lac2018-24-carla_plugin_host_feature_overview_and_wo… [1] https://kx.studio/Downloads [2] https://github.com/falkTX/Carla

[LAA] Vee One Suite 0.9.7 - Spring-Break'19 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Wholly cheers! The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments are here again and now released for the second QStuff* Spring-Break'19 batch post-LAC2019 [12] frenzy: * synthv1 0.9.7 [1] * samplv1 0.9.7 [2] * drumkv1 0.9.7 [3] * padthv1 0.9.7 [4] All still delivered in dual form: - 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]. Changes are that there are quite a few fixes since previous releases: - Corrected sample offset and loop range internal reset (samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). - All audio input now get through without being processed by any or whole effects stage anymore. - Re-defined all JACK stand-alone client application UNIX signal handling. - Probable fix to sample offset and loop range changes across native UI and loading and saving state. (samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). 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.

[LAA] [LAD] [LAU] Guitarix 0.38.1 Bug Fix release

by Hermann Meyer

Guitarix release 0.38.1 Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for jack (Linux), with an additional mono and a stereo effect rack. Guitarix includes a large list of LV2 and LADSPA plugins, and support LADSPA / LV2 plugs as well in it's racks. The guitarix engine is designed for LIVE usage, and feature ultra fast, glitch and click free preset switching and is full Midi and remote controllable (the Web UI is not included in the distributed tar ball). *This is a critical bug-fix release.* In version 0.38.0 the state (preset) wasn't loaded correctly by the engine on startup, this release fix that. When you've already upgraded to 0.38.0, please consider to update again to 0.38.1 Still the LV2 plugins coming with guitarix using a Gtkmm based UI, I'll work on it to port them to X11 based UI's.

[LAA] [ANN] Radium 5.9.49

by Kjetil Matheussen

Radium has a vertical music editor and a horizontal sequencer. Radium is inspired by trackers, but uses more graphics to show musical data. Radium is also a multitracker and supports MIDI sequencing, hard disk recording, modulation, automation, and many other things. There are also users (well, at least one) who use Radium as an advanced MIDI instrument. Radium has features like smooth scrolling, zooming, automation, piano roll, embedded Pure Data (Pd), and embedded Faust. * Homepage: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/ * Screenshot of 5.9.49: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/pictures/radium_5_9_48.png * User video demonstrating Radium work flow: https://vimeo.com/321847152 * Demonstration video by Tobias Lutzenkirchen showing some of the features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhwmT0G5EwM (Radium 3.9.1) *Demonstration video showing developing Faust programs inside Radium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJm9Lox1WFA (Radium 3.9.4) * Other videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/KjetilMatheussen/videos * More screenshots of Radium 5.9: Sequencer timing: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/pictures/radium_timing_5_9_30.png Sound clip GUI: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/pictures/radium_audiofile_gui_5_9_3… Sequencer block browser: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/pictures/radium_blocks_browser_5_9_… Sequencer sound browser: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/pictures/radium_sounds_browser_5_9_… Sequencer file browser: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/pictures/radium_sequencer_browser_5… Sampler instrument: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/pictures/radium_sampler_instrument_… Changes 5.7.8 -> 5.9.49: * Overall: 1107 changes.

Hi again, For last but not least and concluding the so called traditional pre-LAC2019 [8] release frenzy: Qtractor 0.9.6 (pre-lac2019) is released! Here the last changes included for this wrap-up release: - Fixed LV2 UI Touch feature/interface implementation. - Plugin latency/delay compensation is now introduced as an option to tracks only (cf. Track/Properties.../Latency compensation). - Refactored all singleton/unique application instance setup logic away from X11/Xcb hackery. - A bit lesser of a naive file-name numbering is now in place to avoid as much as possible, the piling up of internal curve/automation files when saving existing sessions. - Maybe just informational but the original MIDI file format is now correctly reported across ref-counted linked MIDI clips. 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.

[LAA] Sonoj Convention 2019 - Announcement #1 - Looking for Speakers (no papers required)

by Sonoj Convention

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Sonoj Convention is an annual event in Cologne, Germany about music production with free and open source software (and hardware). This year it will be on October the 26th and 27th 2019. It features demonstrations, talks and hands-on workshops. Meet like-minded people, learn insider knowledge and tricks, participate in our one-hour production challenge! Everybody is welcome, no matter your musical or technological background or capabilities. Our Website: https://sonoj.org This is our first announcement, reaching out to our core audience. The event is more than half a year away, but we are starting talks to find speakers and lecturers now. Sonoj is not a software-developers conference; instead the stereotypical speaker is an experienced musician or producer. If you would like to make a contribution, please send an informal and short e-mail with your ideas to info(a)sonoj.org Here are some examples from the past years, to get an idea: * Creating a Radio Drama with Ardour (for Beginners) * Synthesizing electronic dance music with ZynAddSubFx * Carla Plugin Host Feature Demonstration and Workflows */Making Music with Text/ - Audible Programming with Sonic Pi /* The Realm of Too Many Options/ - Write, record, mix and actually finish your music. * Fantasy Game Soundtrack Production in an open source ecosystem If you would like to participate creatively in the Sonoj Convention please reach out to us! (And if you just want to visit, the visitor registration is already online as well) I am looking forward to your answer! Nils Hilbricht Sonoj Convention https://www.sonoj.org.
