[LAU] [LAD] First Fix Release of GxPlugins.lv2

by Hermann Meyer

Hi The first fix release of GxPlugins.lv2 is out. The fixes are: Fix Power switch use as bypass control (lv2:enabled) Fix don't rebuild on make install Fix GxVBassPreAmp dc overload in circuit simulation Also it comes with the new GxSD1.lv2 pedal simulation. GxPlugins.lv2 is a set of mostly analogue guitar pedal simulations as LV2 plugins, simulated with the guitarix ampsim toolkit. They contain the following plugs: GxBottleRocket.lv2 - -> tube based preamp pedal GxHotBox.lv2 - -> tube based preamp pedal GxVBassPreAmp.lv2 - -> transistor based Bass preamp GxSuppaToneBender.lv2 - -> transistor based Fuzz pedal GxHyperion.lv2 - -> transistor based Fuzz pedal GxVoodoFuzz.lv2 - -> transistor based Fuzz pedal GxSaturator.lv2 - -> saturation plugin GxVintageFuzzMaster.lv2 - -> transistor based Fuzz pedal GxSuperFuzz.lv2 - -> transistor based Fuzz pedal GxVmk2.lv2 - -> transistor based solid stage preamp GxUVox720k.lv2 - -> transistor based solid stage preamp GxSlowGear.lv2 - -> volume swell plugin GxGuvnor.lv2 - -> transistor based overdrive pedal GxToneMachine.lv2 - -> transistor based Fuzz pedal GxSD1.lv2 - -> Op-amp based overdrive pedal I hope they may be useful for the one or the other.

[ANN] Radium 4.4.4

by Kjetil Matheussen

Radium is a vertical music editor. Radium is inspired by trackers, but uses more graphics to show musical data. Radium also supports MIDI sequencing and hard disk recording. Radium has features like smooth scrolling, zooming, automation, piano roll, embedded Pure Data (Pd), and embedded Faust. Homepage: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/ Screenshot of the new mixer interface added since last announcement: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/pictures/radiummixer.png (somewhat inspired by the mixer in Ardour) A new classic 8 bit 4 channel tracker module played in Radium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ6NnzZtAqQ Demonstration video by Tobias Lutzenkirchen showing some of the features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhwmT0G5EwM Demonstration video showing developing Faust programs inside Radium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJm9Lox1WFA Changes between 4.3.0 and 4.4.4: * A new and more traditional mixer, in addition to the already existing modular mixer. * Optionally show mixer strip of current instrument in the left or right part of the main window. * By default, record audio files into a sub directory of the song file. * Fix Ctrl key on OS X. Don't use Cmd to slow down mouse movement. * Fix high CPU usage when using an Intel GFX driver and the Radium window is not visible. * Linux: Fix running Radium if the full path contains space. * Show message during startup if there are errors in the keyboard configuration. * Scale UI better when changing system font size. * Sequencer improvements: * Several UI improvements. * Improved graphics. * Optional smooth scrolling. * Support automations. * Fix import Fasttracker modules. * Exclusively select mute/solo/bypass when ctrl-clicking. * Draw colored border around mute buttons when an instrument is implicitly muted. * Add portamento effect to the sampler. * Options to quickly select a random sample file. * 282 other smaller bug fixes and new features.

The Open Source Musician Ep. 82 - Correct Me If I'm Flat

by Spencer Jackson

The OSM is back with a new episode for January, playing a folksy acoustic track from Fiasco recorded in Ardour on Ubuntu, and a tech segment on pitch correction. Add to this the usual news and yammering, its a short and sweet episode. Especially we'd like to call attention to the Open Amp-Sim Challenge of tunestorm #17. Who can make the greatest guitar tones using only open source effects and amp sims? Even if it's not you we'd love to hear what you do come up with, so please participate in our musical un-competion! Just send a flac or wav of your original song featuring this guitar tone (or synth tone run through a virtual amp or distortion etc) to contributions at opensourcemusician dot com by February 13th. Thanks for listening, and as always questions, comments, complaints, quips, quibbles, and quizzes welcome. https://archive.org/details/OSMP83

DrumGizmo v0.9.12 released

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng

DrumGizmo version 0.9.12 now available! Get it at http://www.drumgizmo.org/ DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup. Most prominent new feature is that we now have FreeBSD support! Several fixes for various combinations of software also made it into this release. Check the roadmap for 0.9.12[1] for full details. Important note to package maintainers: Since version 0.9.11 we copy vst source files into the build tree while building the vst plugin. This mean that should you wish to make a tar-ball available with the build directory after the build has finished this must either be stripped of said files or not be made public.

Yoshimi 1.5.0 is out there now.

by Will Godfrey

V 1.5.0 - The Robin Vector control now has its own dedicated button on the main window. Any attempt to set an invalid bank root will be ignored. The same was already true for banks themselves. Also, on first time startup, discovered roots will be given ID numbers starting from 5 and in steps of 5. If working from the command line, listing roots and banks will identify the current ones with a '*'. Channel switching has now matured to a 'Solo' feature accessed from the mixer panel. Another new feature is one that has been asked for several times - a crossfade for overlapping note ranges in instrument kits. Filter tracking could never quite reach 100% so if using it to get 'notes' from noise it would go slightly out of tune. Well, now we have an extra check box that changes its range so that instead of -100% to 98.4% it will track 0% to 198.4% Many of the controls now have active tooltips that show the current value when you hover over them. Also, many have real-world terms. dB, Hz, mS etc. Finally, we have very full featured MIDI learn capability. It can be reached from the 'Yoshimi' drop-down menu, and tooltips will remind you of how it is used. To build yoshimi fetch the tarball from either: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi Or: https://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi Our user list archive is at: https://www.freelists.org/archive/yoshimi -- 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.
