Qtractor 0.9.1 - A Pre-LAC2018 Release Frenzy Finale!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again, The Pre-LAC2018 [8] release frenzy is now complete... Qtractor 0.9.1 (pre-lac2018 beta) is out! Change-log: - Displaying MIDI note(on) events as diamonds instead of simple rectangles (aka. Drum Mode) is now being introduced as an optional MIDI track property (Drums) and as a MIDI clip editor (piano-roll) visual option (cf. View/Drum Mode). - Extended multi-selection is now supported on all the Connections client/port lists, allowing for multiple (dis)connections at once. - Added LV2 UI sample-rate option support. - Always reset all internal dedicated MIDI controllers, eg. MIDI track volume (CC#7) and panning (CC#10), on Transport/Panic and after rendering export to aud1io (ie. Track/Export Tracks/Audio...) as needed to reset MIDI instrument plugins to nominal session state. - Fix, detect and preserve MIDI Bank-select method across MIDI track/clips editing operations. - Fixed MIDI track and clip note min/max display range while recording and also when duplicating tracks. - Added "All files (*.*)" filter to every file requestor dialog, wherever missing. - The tiny zoom-magnifier icons have been revamped. 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.

Yoshimi 1.5.8 released!

by Will Godfrey

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 Our list archive is at: https://www.freelists.org/archive/yoshimi To post, email to yoshimi(a)freelists.org -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Linux SonivoxEAS v1.2.0 released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

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. Copyright (C) 2016-2018 Pedro López-Cabanillas. https://github.com/pedrolcl/Linux-SonivoxEas/releases/tag/v1.2.0 Regards, Pedro

Rivendell v2.19.2

by Fred Gleason

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.19.2. 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: HPI Support. Fixed a regression in the HPI support layer that broke audio capture with adapters lacking DMA bus-mastering support. 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 <http://www.rivendellaudio.org/> Cheers! |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
