Without much pomp and circumstance, I'd like to notify you of the immediate availability of rkr-lv2 beta 2. Requested in behalf of packagers everywhere, this is just to officially release the many bugfixes that have been applied and contributed since beta 1. Unfortunately there is probably as many (or more) still lurking so this is still very much beta software. No progress in the midi front, though this does add the noise gate plugin (which was contributed). Many thanks to all who contributed bug reports, code, or even just appreciation. Unfortunately this project has a lot of competition for my time and attention and so it has not progressed as much as I wish it had (none of my projects have been getting much). It was decided that since no new maintainer of standalone rakarrack has stepped up, some major refactoring is in order and eventually a rkrv2 will be created which will offer the same effects but with some API breaking streamlining in the codebase. It will likely be some time before I embark on that endeavor. I expect rkr-lv2 in its current API preserved form will still exist, but it may always be a buggy quirky collection. Collaborators/Contributors/Take over the project people welcome. enjoy! https://github.com/ssj71/rkrlv2/releases _Spencer

[LAA] Zynaddsubfx 3.0.3 - The “She Scanned” Release

by Spencer Jackson

Zynaddsubfx 3.0.3 - The “She Scanned” Release 4 Dec 2017 There are lots of improvements in the code that need to get in your computer/DAW! Let’s have a release! This is mostly a bugfix release, making Zyn a smoother and more stable audio design/music making experience. Especially notable the preset and session file loading has been cleaned up and polished, now including a search in the legacy fltk UI version. Another cool new feature is using more of your computer cores (if available) to generate the padsynth wavetables so you can hear the results of your tweaking much sooner (not yet available on windows). Many causes of crashes were fixed for both Zyn-Fusion users and users of the legacy UI. Finally, we are very pleased to announce that this is the last release before the free licensing of the zyn-fusion UI source code. In fulfilment of our promised dedication to open source and free-licensed software, this month we expect to have everything fully converted to MIT or GPL license and publicly available. This marks the end of the “fundraiser” portion of the open-source-eventually scheme, attempting to finance the full time work that allowed the completion of zyn-fusion. Binaries for those who don’t want to build from source will still be available for sale for a modest (not yet determined) price which will continue to fund bug fixes and new features. We thank all of you for your support. Here is the complete changelog for the zyn engine and the Fusion UI: - Add bank search to FLTK/NTK GUI - Add parallel padsynth sample generation - Remove X11 dependency for non-GUI builds - Fix crash when changing modulation types in running notes - Fix NullEngine usleep() on windows - Fix loading filter parameters with older xml - Fix effect saving when updating with zyn-fusion interface - Fix crash on close under some VST hosts - Fix (again) crash on File->quit in plugin host - Disable mouse control of VU/mixer meters - Fix bank path on windows VST - Fix Windows path nagivation to root dir - Darken file selection background - Add favorite selection clear via right-click - Add favorite deduplication - Fix partial clear of macro fields - Add default to macro offset/gain - Prevent multiple dropdowns from existing in the UI - Fix crash in batch harmonic edit - Fix read-only operations on windows due to platform specific usleep() - Fix "Quarter" misspelling - Fix error backtrace window on windows - Fix stuck notes when disabling part - Fix inverted left/right in mixer VU - Fix disconnected Sub Synth filter visualization - Fix crashes related to filter visualization when changing views - Fix delayed updates when using double-click resets - Fix crash with no-favorites - Fix crash when changing to distortion view - Fix bug related to loading filter parameters in old VST saves - Fix some keyboard events in some VST hosts (e.g. FL Studio) - Fix saving effects from fusion UI - Fix unlabeled cutoff/resonance/gain in dynamic filter - Fix effect group scroll behavior - Fix backspace in part setting's part name - Fix repeated keyboard note-on events - Remove extra virtual keyboard key - Connect LFO graphical representation drag events to underlying parameters - Fix crash from midi automation meta-feedback - Add visual indicator of click for copy/paste buttons - Add missing EQ Copy/Paste - Add missing Distort Copy/Paste - Fixed Addsynth resonance copy/paste - Fixed Voice copy/paste - Build process is now reproducible - Fix minor bugs And here’s the contribution score card by number of commits since 3.0.2: (df5635ad2) 34 fundamental 19 Johannes Lorenz 10 Hans Petter Selasky 1 Marcin Mikołajczak As always, those who already purchased the Zyn-Fusion UI will be able to download this updated version for free from Gumroad.

[LAA] [ANN] Qtractor 0.8.5 - The Autumn'17 Release!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello! While this Fall still lasts... and before the New Year/Sun cycle comes in and sure will goes out... And then there is the time when a couple of things that most may find well, badly interesting: one it's primarily and visually evident and adds up as an UI/UX thingy, while the other may land way more beyond the scenes, not so obviously perhaps, but having an impact on the short and not so short but long run. You tell me. Truth is: Qtractor 0.8.5 (autumn'17) os now released! The short list is, or better yet, there are these: * File-system browser/tree-view (NEW) * Out-of process/cache plugin scan (ALL plugin types, not just Linux-VST anymore) And the not so short list but quite the same information (aka. change-log): - Audio clip gain and panning properties are now taken into consideration when hash-linking (aka. ref-counting) their back-end buffers. - New out-of-process plug-in inventory scan and cache option, replacing the old (aka. dummy) VST plug-in scan option and extending its function to all other plug-in types: LADSPA, DSSI and also LV2 (cache only). - A File System browser and tree-view is finally integrated as a dockable-widget on the main application window (cf. main menu View / Window / File System).</li> - Drag-and-dropping of session, audio and MIDI files over the main track-list (left pane) is now possible, allowing for yet another quick means to open a new session or add new tracks to the current session. - MIDI input/capture time-stamping has been fixed as much to avoid missing inbound events, when play-head is near the loop-end point and the loop-start is set below the absolute first half-a-second (<0.5sec). - LV2 Time/Transport speed information is now set on rolling when in audio export aka freewheeling mode. - Added *.SF3 to soundfont instrument files filter, on View > Instruments... > Import... file dialog. - A brand new View/Options.../Display/Meters/Show meters on track list/left pane option has been added. 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.
