[ANN] Submit your Open Source Music FM Synthesizer Challenge entry now!

by Christopher Arndt

Hi Synth Lovers, there are only less than *eight days* left in the Open Source Music FM Synthesizer Challenge to finish and submit your entry. The competition entry submission form is now finally online (sorry for the long delay), so please submit your entries here before Oct 14th, 2018 23:59:59 UTC: https://fmchallenge.osamc.de/submit/ I encourage you all to submit your tracks as soon as possible even if they are not finished yet. Each submitted entry is first in draft status, until you publish it. Only then* will the track be publicly visible and really enter the competition. If it stays in draft status until the deadline, it does *not* enter the competition, so there's no harm in submitting your track now, even if you are not sure whether you will finish it in time. But you won't miss the deadline, just because there are technical difficulties or your upload to Archive.org doesn't pass the checks. * I also need to approve it. I will basically just check the description and production notes for spam and conformance to the rules and usually approve it within minutes if everything is ok. P.S. The first one to break the web application gets to keep the pieces! ;) Seriously, if there are any problems with the submission form or the site, please contact me via <fmchallenge(a)osamc.de> immediately. P.P.S.S. There will be another announcement on Monday about a very desirable sponsored prize for the winner, so keep an eye out! I'm looking forward to hear what you came up with! -- Christopher Arndt Open Source Audio Meeting Cologne https://fmchallenge.osamc.de/ fmchallenge(a)osamc.de

Double Release: Patroneo v1.0 and Fluajho v1.0

by Laborejo Software Suite

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, hereby the two new programs Patroneo and Fluajho are published in version 1.0 each in the hope to enrich your musical toolbox. Patroneo (Esperanto: /Pattern/) is an easy to use pattern based midi sequencer. It is ideal for beginners or for composers who want to work under constraints to explore new creative paths. Fluajho (Esperanto: /Fluid/) is a simple sampler for sf2 soundfonts. This is a legacy file format for making MIDI signals audible through virtual instruments. There are many soundfont samplers for Linux, most of them based on Fluidsynth; Fluajho was written for a clearly defined use case: Load an .sf2 in the Non Session Manager. You can find both releases on their Github pages. Hopefully distributions will create packages soon. https://github.com/diovudau/Patroneo or https://github.com/diovudau/Patroneo/releases https://github.com/diovudau/Fluajho or https://github.com/diovudau/Fluajho/releases Manuals both in English and German are provided and accompanied by quickstart videos (which can be found in the manuals) https://www.laborejo.org/documentation/patroneo/ https://www.laborejo.org/documentation/fluajho/ Greetings, Nils for the Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org/
