Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard (VMPK) 0.7.0 has been released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another instrument or MIDI file player. Changes for v0.7.0: * New features Direct output (plugin) synth for Linux: EASSynth Direct output (plugin) synth for macOS: Apple DLS Synth #50 Shortcut key in extra controls editor for 'Button Ctl' * Fixes for several drivers (provided by Drumstick 1.1.1 libraries) * Fixed vmpk tickets: #37 - duplicated midi events on touch screens #32, #35, #40, #47 - crashes at startup on macOS, so FluidSynth direct output driver for all platforms has been removed Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: CMake 3.0, Qt 5.x and Drumstick 1.1 or later. Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for questions and comments. Thanks.

Rivendell v2.19.1

by Fred Gleason

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.19.1. 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. Implemented support for DMA bus-mastering for AudioScience HPI devices. RDHpiInfo. Removed rdhpiinfo(8). Replaced by the stand-alone 'hpiinfo' package. RDCatch Play Events. Removed the event time check for Playout events in rdcatch(1), as there is no sane way to determine a consistently 'free' playout time in the face of shifting cut lengths. RDLogManager. Fixed a bug in rdlogmanager(1) that caused DB corruption when a clock was deleted while still being assigned to a grid. 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.

Qtractor 0.9.0 - An Early Spring'18 Release!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello? Qtractor 0.9.0 (early spring'18 beta) is now released! The change-log for this spring-time release goes as follows: - New View/Options.../Plugins/Experimental/Show plugins on track list/left pane option is in effect on tracks that are tall enough in height for their plugins list to fit on the Bus column. - Fixed a day-zero bug over the MIDI Insert (Send/Return) pseudo-plugin, which was duplicating MIDI events onto the next LV2 plugin in chain, causing strange hanging notes, mutes, retriggerings and what not. - MIDI track and clip note min/max range display now fixed. - MIDI Program Change events (PC) now have their proper program number as parameter, instead of value, on the internal MIDI event representatio n. - Merging MIDI clips while on SMF Format 0 has been fixed: was merging always onto the same MIDI channel (2), most often the wrong one, resulting in an empty or blank clip. - When importing from standard MIDI files (SMF), set track names from Mtrk TRACKNAME meta-events instead of filename. - Avoid asking to save as to existing or just newly created clip file-names, whenever possible. - Disable singleton/unique application instance setup logic when the display server platform is not X11. - Whether to use native file browser/requester dialogs is now an effective option when launching under NSM session management (was once disabled initially). - Content files are now saved as symlinks when saving to JACK and/or NSM session directories/folders. - Trying to get CC14 MSB+LSB (course+fine) running status on, no matter whether each pairing event are under 200ms apart. - Possible VST plug-in GUI reparenting hack/fix on Qt5/Xcb. 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.

[ANN] hexter DSSI softsynth 1.1.0 release

by Sean Bolton

I'm pleased to announce the 1.1.0 release of hexter, a DSSI softsynth plugin that models the sound generation of a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. This release provides support for DSSI hosts which don't support run_multiple_synths(), for example, Carla and Renoise. Each instance of the plugin is run separately, and support for the global polyphony limit has been removed. Several bugs and numerous compiler warnings have been fixed. Find hexter here: http://smbolton.com/hexter.html The distribution tarball is here: https://github.com/smbolton/hexter/releases/tag/version_1.1.0 More information on the DSSI plugin standard, available hosts and plugins can be found here: http://dssi.sourceforge.net/ hexter is written and copyright (c) 2018 by Sean Bolton, and licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later. Thanks to Andreas Müller for contributing a bug fix. Have fun! -Sean

Vee One Suite 0.9.0 - The End of Winter'18 release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Ahoy there! 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 once again released just before the season ends. As before, all available in dual standard forms:<ul> - 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]. The changes for this end-of-season goes as follows: - Introducing Scala micro-tuning classes, borrowed, stirred and refactored from original Nick Dowell's amsynth code, all under the GPL umbrella, of course. - An internal note-key/frequency indirection table is now in place, as a baseline for any micro-tuning implementations. - Whether to use native file browser/requester dialogs is now an effective option when launching under NSM session management (was once disabled initially). - Initializing and/or requesting a New blank preset doesn't open a sample file picker dialog anymore as it was more than nagging while under on NSM sessions. (applies to samplv1 [2] only). - Trying to get CC14 MSB+LSB (course+fine) running status on, no matter whether each pairing event are under 200ms apart. - A little hardening on the configure (autoconf) macro side. In order of (historical) appearance: **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.0 (end-of-winter'18) released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.
