On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.15.2. 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: WallTime RLM. Refactored the 'rlm_walltime' RLM to be compatible with v1.1.0 firmware. Create Database Bug Fix. Fixed a bug in database creation that caused incompatibility with MySQL InnoDB tables. WAV Format Change. Implemented a workaround in WAV file generation to avoid compatibility issues with certain proprietary audio editors. LiveWire Multicast GPIO Driver. Added the ability to generate GPO events. Web API. Added 'CREATE' and 'GROUP_NAME' parameters to the 'Import' call. Various other bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 259, 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.

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.

The Open Source Musician Ep. 82 - Tunestorm 16 Reveal and Throwing Down the Open Amp Sim Gauntlet

by Spencer Jackson

https://archive.org/details/OSMP82 The Nocember episode was just uploaded for your enjoyment. This month I play the entry for Tunestorm 16 and demonstrate a few of the open source guitar plugins available. Then the gauntlet is thrown down as I issue the Open Amplifier Challenge (aka Tunestorm 17)! For this next round of uncompetition you must use some of the open source amp sim programs/plugins to try to demonstrate great open source tone. If you don't play guitar and don't want to use guitar samples, I'll happily accept synths run through guitarix or similar. But largely I'd like to hear what great guitar tones can be made with pure open source software. The due date will be Feb 13, which should give acceptable time after the holidays and allow you to not miss your valentines date too. Questions and comments welcome, as always. p.s. some noticed the high freq. buzzing last episode, I've established it is my audio interface. Hopefully you'll find this month's recording a bit better. More work on my mic technique would help too (SNR). Enjoy! _Spencer

Qtractor 0.8.0 - The Snobbiest Graviton is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello there! This might come as an end to a long cycle indeed, really approaching a final and last milestone, whatever... But one thing is for sure: besides the prodigal but (pun, somewhat, not intended:)), this wraps up the so called Qstuff* Fall'16 release business deal [7][8]. Qtractor 0.8.0 (snobbiest graviton) is out! And the release highlights are: * Auto-backward location marker (NEW) * Clip selection edge adjustment (NEW) * Improved audio clip zoom-in resolution (NEW) * Clip selection resilience (FIX) * MIDI (N)RPN running status (FIX) And the band plays on... Maybe you can further decrypt the fresh juice from the change-log below -- or rather never mind though and go for the grabs already ;). 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 clip tools redo/undo processing refactored as much to avoid replication over multiple hash-linked clips; MIDI clip editor's floating selection/anchor event stability has been also improved, in regard to MIDI tools processing range. - - Auto-backward play-head location, when playback was last started, is now shown on main track-view, as a momentary dark-red vertical line marker. - - LV2 plugin-in parameter optimization: stuff consecutive series of plug-in's parameter value changes, as much as possible into one single undo/redo command. - - LV2_STATE__StateChanged is now recognized as a regular atom notification event and raising the current session dirty flag, as normal behavior. - - Adjusting clip selection edges is now possible and honored while on the the main track-view canvas. - - Audio peak file caching and rendering, as far as audio clip wave-forms are concerned, have been refactored and optimized a couple of notches higher, on the ephemeral and rather marginal throughput front ;). - - Fixed a potential crash on the singleton/unique application instance setup. - - Edit/Select Mode tool-buttons moved into single drop-down tool-button on the main and MIDI editor's tool-bar. - - Do not reset the current clip selection when updating the main track-view extents eg. while zooming in or out. - - Automation curve node editing auto-smoothing revisited; also fixed input MIDI RPN/NRPN running status processing, which was crippling some plug-in automation curve nodes, when saved in high-resolution 14-bit mode. - - Fixed the visual play-head position (vertical red line) while zooming in or out horizontally. - - Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command line options, wrt. installation directories specification, eg. --prefix, - --bindir, --libdir, --datadir and --mandir. - - LV2 Plugin-in worker/schedule fix: make request/response ring-buffer writes in one go, hopefully atomic (suggested patch by Stefan Westerfeld, while on SpectMorph, thanks).
