Radium is a music editor with a new type of interface. It's inspired by
trackers,
but also uses graphics to show musical data. Radium also has piano roll
and MIDI sequencing features, and various semi-esoteric features such as
built-in
Pure Data and Faust.

Changes:
RDExport Enhancements. Added switches to control audio format of
exported files as well as full-fidelity Rivendell metadata export
via embedded RDXML chunks and the --xml switch. See the rdexport(1)
and rdimport(1) man pages for details.

Hi
A new release of gxtuner is out.
It's a fast and lightweight guitar tuner with a analogue like window,
running with jack.
In this release we switched to use the latest pitch-tracker algorithm
from guitarix, which is more stable at the low end, and a lot lighter in
the CPU.
For better maintenance of the code, gxtuner is now hosted on github,
Check it out here:
https://github.com/brummer10/gxtuner
Or get the latest release directly here:
https://github.com/brummer10/gxtuner/archive/v2.3.tar.gz

Join us in this month's episode where I discuss room treatment and
some open source tools for testing the acoustics of your room, as well
as the usual news, babble, and a track from rghvdbrg!

Especially I want to call for participation in this season's
tunestorm, due August 15. You still have plenty of time to make a
track, so please do!
Questions, comments, complaints, constructive criticisms, or jokes

Qtractor 0.7.8 - The Snobby Graviton is out!
-------------------------------------------
So it's first solstice'16...
The world sure is a harsh mistress... yeah, you read that right! <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon_Is_a_Harsh_Mistress">Heinlein's
Moon</a> have been just intentionally rephrased. Yeah, whatever.
Just about when the UK vs. EU is there under close scrutiny and sizzling
winds of trumpeting (pun intended, again) coming from the other side of
the pond, we all should mark the days we're living in.
No worries: we still have some feeble but comforting news:
Qtractor 0.7.8 (snobby graviton) is out!
Nevertheless ;)
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.
Change-log:
- MIDI file track names (and any other SMF META events) are now
converted to and from the base ASCII/Latin-1 encoding, as much to
prevent invalid SMF whenever non-Latin-1 UTF-8 encoded MIDI track names
are given.
- MIDI file tempo-map and location markers import/export is now
hopefully corrected, after almost a decade in mistake, regarding MIDI
resolution conversion, when different than current session's setting
(TPQN, ticks-per-quarter-note aka. ticks-per-beat, etc.)
- Introducing LV2 UI Show interface support for other types than Qt,
Gtk, X11 and lv2_external_ui.
- Prevent any visual updates while exporting (freewheeling) audio tracks
that have at least one plugin activate state automation enabled for
playback (as much for not showing messages like "QObject::connect:
Cannot queue arguments of type 'QVector<int>'"... anymore).
- The common buses management dialog (View/Buses...) sees the
superfluous Refresh button finally removed, while two new button
commands take its place: (move) Up and Down.
- LV2 plug-in Patch support has been added and LV2 plug-ins parameter
properties manipulation is now accessible on the generic plug-in
properties dialog.
- Fixed a recently introduced bug, that rendered all but one plug-in
instance to silence, affecting only DSSI plug-ins which implement
DSSI_Descriptor::run_multiple_synths() eg. fluidsynth-dssi, hexter, etc.

spectmorph-0.3.0 has been released.
Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.3.0:
----------------------------------------
* Incompatible file format changes:
- use 16-bit integer values for sine and noise data instead of floats
to reduce file size on disk and in memory
- introduce short_name & name field for instruments
- changed the way noise is represented from total band energy to
normalized noise level
* Use Qt5 for the GUI, instead of gtkmm.
* Added Grid Morph operator: allows morphing between more than two sources.
* Adapted code to work with newer beast (0.10.0) and rapicorn (0.16.0).
* Improved tests.
* Various bugfixes.
* Performance improvements.
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.
Also interpolating between two samples of the same instrument (different attack
velocity of a piano) could be interesting.
SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3
SpectMorph is still under development. This means:
* the fileformat is not yet stable - instruments or morph plans may not work
with newer versions of SpectMorph
* the algorithms for synthesizing sounds are still under development - newer
versions may sound different
To sum it up: if you compose music using SpectMorph, don't expect newer
versions to be compatible in any way.

Website: http://www.spectmorph.org
Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads/spectmorph-0.3.0.tar.bz2
There are many sound samples on the website, which test morphing between
instruments.
