Hi everyone,
AV Linux 2018.6.25 (aka "50 years of GMaq!") has been released, I have
entered a new decade today and want to celebrate with an improved AVL
Release..
The April AV Linux 2018.4.12 release had a lot of improvements and
updates with regards to the Audio and Video applications but some
improvements needed to be made for systems with UEFI booting and
systems with recent AMD Video display adapters not covered by SGFXI. I
personally have no UEFI (or AMD) computers to test with and only could
use VirtualBox for UEFI testing and thanks to bug reports from a few
users and several fixes provided by our forum member 'korakios' I
think many of the issues for actual hardware UEFI machines have now
been addressed. If you have already successfully installed and updated
AV Linux 2018.4.12 then you will not really need to be concerned with
the updated June ISOs.
Fixes/Improvements:
-New 4.16 kernel with full RT Preempt and improved support for newer
AMD Video cards.
-threadirqs was accidentally removed from the grub boot options, now
fixed.
-UEFI boots that failed due to missing FAT32 ascii modules should now
be fixed.
-Unetbootin boot failures due to missing FAT32 ascii modules should
now be fixed.
-Virtualbox Guest Additions will now be automatically removed on
Non-Virtualbox installs.
-Cinelerra 5.1 (aka Cin) has a new functionality to support LV2 Audio
Plugins (initial release, may require restart on first run).
-LSP Plugins are updated to 1.1.2
-Cleaned up wrong menu entry of ZynAddSubFX JACK multi
-Updated relevant info in the AV Linux User Manual.
A huge thanks to korakios for the work on UEFI improvements and trulan
for the updated 4.16 kernels, thanks also to those who provided bug
reports and tested ISOs, your time is very much appreciated!
The linuxaudio.org mirror is up and running, Bytemark will come online
sometime in the next few days.

V 1.5.8 - Kingfisher
Bright flash of colour.
The most significant changes in this release are all usability ones.
At the request of one user (and agreement of several others) some of the
microtonal settings are now MIDI-learnable, and appropriately highlighted.
The CLI can now open and close instances, and switch between them.
There is a new 'Solo' type 'TwoWay' this works in a similar way to 'Loop', but
(apart from zero) values less than 64 step from right to left, instead of the
other way round. The highlighting is also a bit better. Both 'Loop' and
'TwoWay' also have debounce protection of approximately 60mS.
The CLI can now clear a part's instrument. A fairly obvious option that somehow
got missed.
In the Banks windows Instruments can now be swapped between banks and bank
roots. Banks can also be swapped between roots. This is an extension using
exactly the same controls as those already available for in-bank swaps.
The latest feature is autoloading instances. With this enabled, any instance
that was open when the main one is closed will be re-opened on the next run. If
these instances were set for starting with their default state, then all those
settings will be performed. Therefore, a very comprehensive and detailed
session can be started with a single command!
A lot of the documentation supplied with Yoshimi has been updated, including
the Advanced User Manual.
Yoshimi source code is available from either:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi Or: https://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
This project is a Linux MIDI Synth library based on the Sonivox EAS
Synthesizer published by Google on the Android Open Source Project. It is a
real time MIDI wave table GM synthesizer and SMF player without needing
external soundfonts, using embedded samples instead. It consumes very
little resources, so it may be indicated in Linux projects for small
devices.
The library uses ALSA Sequencer MIDI input and PulseAudio output. Complete
compile-time dependencies are:
* Qt5
* Drumstick, for ALSA MIDI input.
* PulseAudio, for audio output.
To build the source code, you may use qtcreator, qmake or cmake.
The project contains:
* cmdlnsynth: Command line sample program using the synthesizer library
* guisynth: GUI sample program using the synthesizer library
* libsvoxeas: The Linux synthesizer shared library, using ALSA Sequencer
and PulseAudio
* sonivox: The AOSP source files, with a qmake project file to compile and
test under QtCreator as a static library
Changes:
There is a new command line option to configure the audio buffer time for
both GUI and text programs, in addition to command line options for the
text program to change the reverb and chorus types and levels. All options
are saved and remembered as defaults the next time the programs are
executed again. A new help text documenting the command line options is
included.
