On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.19.3 Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License version 2. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: BroadcastTools Support. Added a Switcher/GPIO driver for the BroadcastTools SS 2.1 switcher. AudioScience GPIO. Added support for GPIO on AudioScience adapters to the 'Local Audio Adapter' Switcher/GPIO driver. Add Next/Insert Cart RML. Renamed the 'Add Next' ['PX'] RML to 'Insert Cart' ['PX'] and added two optional arguments to allow specification of the insertion position and transition type. Spinitron RLM. Added support for Spinitron v2 to the 'spinitron_plus' RLM. Exported File Mode. Added an 'ExportedFileMode=' parameter to the '[Tuning]' section of rd.conf(5) to permit permission mode of exported audio files to be specified. Various bug fixes. See the 'ChangeLog' for details. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 275, and will automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo. As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Further information, screenshots and download links are available at: http://www.rivendellaudio.org Cheers! |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

[LAA] Vee One Suite 0.9.3 - An Autumn'18 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone! The 'Vee One Suite' of so called 'old-school' software instruments, synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are now all out for the 'septentrional' Autumn'18. All available in dual standard forms: - 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]. Where applicable, the common change-log for this Fall goes like this: - For safety reasons, all processing is now suspended while loading presets or program changes are issued. - AppStream metadata updated to be the most compliant with latest freedesktop.org specification and recommendation. - SIGTERM (and SIGINT) signal handler added to close the JACK stand-alone client applications properly. - Make the GUI not to show initially on NSM. - Current element sample offset/loop start/end parameters automation is now a possibility, on the LV2 plug-in only (applies to samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). - Make NSM state independent to session display name, keeping backward compatibility for old sessions. - Give some more slack to schedule/worker thread ring-buffer. 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] [ANN] Introducing ardour2fxp

by Christopher Arndt

ardour2fpx ========== Convert an Ardour VST presets XML file to VST2 FXP preset files. What is it? The Open Source DAW Ardour saves user presets for VST plugins in its own XML format. Unfortunately, most proprietary DAWs expect presets for VST2 plugins as FXP files. This makes it very hard to share presets for VST2 plugins between users of Ardour and those propietary DAWs. The ardour2fxp script converts Ardour VST preset files to FXP preset files, so they can be imported when using the same plug-ins in another DAW. Where to get it? https://github.com/SpotlightKid/ardour2fxp or via pip: pip install ardour2fxp How to use? After installation, the ardour2fxp script can be used like this: ardour2fxp ~/.config/ardour5/presets/vst-1094861636 my-presets This will create an FXP (extension .fxp) file for every preset in the Ardour preset file (vst-1094861636 in the example above). FXP files will be put into sub-directories of the output directory given as the second command line argument (my-presets in the example). The FXP files will be named after the preset label (with spaces replaced with underscores) and the sub-directories will be named after the plug-in identifier (1094861636 -> "ABCD" in the example). *Share & Enjoy* Christopher Arndt

[LAA] [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
