spectmorph-0.3.3 has been released.
Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.3.3:
----------------------------------------
* Added portamento:
- VST: support MPE to perform per-voice pitch bend (can be used in Bitwig)
- new portamento mono mode (all hosts)
* Added vibrato.
* Internal improvements:
- better property abstraction for (non-linear) UI properties
- updated polyphase interpolator (used for vibrato|portamento)
- fixed a few problems when developing against spectmorph(ui) libs
- don't link against Qt UI library when only QtCore is necessary
* Compile fixes for g++-6.3
What is SpectMorph?
-------------------
SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of
musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to
construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or
smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then
gradually changes to a flute.
SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be combined using
morphing.
SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3
Integrating SpectMorph into your Work
-------------------------------------
In order to make music that contains SpectMorph, you currently need to use
Linux. There are four ways of integrating SpectMorph sounds into music you
create:
- LV2 Plugin, for any sequencer that supports it.
- VST Plugin, especially for proprietary solutions that don't support LV2.
- JACK Client.
- BEAST Module, integrating into BEASTs modular environment.
Note that at this point, we may still change the way sound synthesis works, so
newer versions of SpectMorph may sound (slightly) different than the current
version.

There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing between
instruments.

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.16.0. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License.
From the NEWS file:
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
Audio Store Hashing. Rivendell now automatically generates a SHA1 hash
for each file in the audio store and records this value in the database,
thus permitting automated recovery of audio in the event of loss or damage
to the audio store's filesystem directory. See the --relink-audio option
in the rddbcheck(8) man page for details.
Kernel GPIO. Added switcher support for Kernel GPIO devices, such as
the GPIO interface on the Raspberry Pi 2 and 3.
Modbus TCP. Added switcher support for Modbus TCP devices.
RDConvert. Added an rdconvert(1) utility,
User Authentication. It is now possible to delegate authentication of
Rivendell users by means of a PAM module, thus permitting 'single sign-on'
integration with systems such as ActiveDirectory and FreeIPA.
Web API. Added various methods to the Rivendell Web API to permit
integration with external audio and log editors.
Various other bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 263, 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.

Hi everyone!
I'd like to announce the first release of Andes, a sound synthesizer
plugin based on Perlin noise. It is built around an original
oscillator that calculates a sum of Perlin noise steps using a
technique called fractional Brownian motion to produce distinctively
digital sounds. Check it out at:
https://artfwo.github.io/andes/
The current implementation only provides a single oscillator and an
ADSR envelope. Certain basic features like presets and modulation are
underway. Andes is written using JUCE and I managed to build
VST+standalone binaries so far, but an LV2 plugin looks possible with
JUCE, so that is planned as well. To build Andes, get the source code
from Github:

Hey all,
I wrote a MIDI step sequencer for the old Novation Launchpads. It has quite
a few different scales (thanks to the tonal package on NPM), let's you
change the sequence length on the fly and set lower velocities by holding
down the pads.

DrumGizmo version 0.9.14 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.
This is a bugfix release fixing a lot of bugs as reported from our last
release 0.9.13[1] which was the first drumgizmo version ever supporting
diskstreaming.
The release bears the version number 0.9.14 and can, as always, be
downloaded here[2].
For the full list of changes, check the roadmap for 0.9.14[3].
The release of 0.9.14 is also known as "LAC2017 here we come!"
As is a bit of a tradition for the DrumGizmo team (and many other fine
open source projects), we have prepared a special release for the
upcoming Linux Audio Conference[4]. This year the conference takes place
in Saint-Etienne, France from May 18-21 2017. And we'll be showing up!
So be sure to take note of “The cool guys with the drumsticks”. You
might just secure yourself one with a nice DG logo on it done with the
custom made lasercutter of Open Space Aarhus[5].
See you at LAC! :)

jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack.
The default operation of the program is executed by writing "jack_capture"
in the terminal without any extra command line options:
$ jack_capture
...which will record what you hear in your loudspeakers
into a stereo wav file. But it has lots of other features as well.

* Print warning in case user overwrites existing file.
* Use execvp, not execv. Also print strerror() if execvp failed. Fix for
time machine mode.
* Support OSX (Luciano Iammarino)
* Some tsan fixes
* replace static .wav suffix with correct soundfile_format (Sebastian
Reimers)
* Silence unused parameter warnings from gcc 4.8
* Warn about unable to set SCHED_OTHER process using setpriority(), not a
SCHED_FIFO process
* Compilation patches from debian
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.

* New plugin manager.
* Extensive Swing support.
* Faster mixer graphics.
* Options to load and save single blocks and tracks.
* Options to do accelerando / ritardando between BPM entries without using

Hello everyone,
Here is a first version of an editor for the Akai LPD8 pads controller :
https://github.com/charlesfleche/lpd8-editor
The UI is till very crude, but the editor keeps a library of programs and
can import configurations from the official Windows / Mac only software.
Enjoy !
Charles
