The Guitarix developers proudly present
Guitarix release 0.35.0
Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for
jack (Linux), with an additional mono and a stereo effect rack.
Guitarix includes a large list of plugins[*] and support LADSPA / LV2
plugs as well.
The guitarix engine is designed for LIVE usage, and feature ultra fast,
glitch and click free, preset switching, full Midi and/or remote
controllable (Web UI not included in the distributed tar ball).
This release introduce the new GUI design by Markus Schmidt aka. boomshop
Beside that, it comes with a couple of fixes and some new plugins.
Also included be the MOD UI's for the LV2 plugins used by the MOD[*]
For all changes, please check out the changelog.

Hi all:
I picked up one of these KMI kboards and wanted to play with the
configuration settings, but couldn't get their editor to work through
wine, so I wrote a python script that edits and dumps the sysex for
configuration. Its very utilitarian, but already I'm glad I wrote it
since every instrument seems to play better with slightly different
settings. Of course this program is offered without any guarantees,
especially since its messing with hardware.
If anyone has or considers getting one of these keyboards he or she
can keep this project in mind for configuring it in linux.

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.12.0. 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:
Sequential Cut Play-Out. Cuts can now be configured on a per-cart basis
to play in a set sequential order rather than by relative weight value.
New Switcher Support. Support has been added for the Broadcast Tools
ADMS 44.22 and SS 4.1 MLR switchers.
New RML. A 'Copy Cut' ['CP'] RML has been added that allows cuts to
be copied between carts.
RDLogEdit Changes. Added a 'Show Only Recent Logs' checkbox.
New Web API Methods. The following new methods have been added to the
web API:
AssignSchedCode
ListCartSchedCodes
ListSchedCodes
UnassignSchedCode
Database Schema Reversion. Added an rdrevert(8) command to allow
database schema changes to be reverted to an earlier version (experimental).
Documentation Changes. The documentation has been converted to
XML-DocBook5.
Various other bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 254, 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.

Rapicorn is a toolkit for declarative UIs and SVG-based theming, see:

Beast is an audio composer and modular synthesis application, see:

Lots of work went into the build system and linux distribution porting lately and it's starting to pay off. As I type this, the build machines are running hot, building packages based on the new versions. Once they are done, new binary packages for installation can be found here:
https://bintray.com/beast-team/deb
This is another one in a series of recent releases that have changed a lot under the hood but yet have little user interface visible impacts. That's going to change in the future, but before that point, here come some notable new features for developers. With recent improvements to the IDL compiler in Rapicorn, the BSE library could be wrapped in Python, so it is now possible to run the following little program in Python:
import Bse, time
Bse.server.register_core_plugins()
time.sleep (1.5) # give time to load plugins
prj = Bse.server.create_project ("example")
prj.restore_from_file ("/usr/share/beast/demo/partymonster.bse")
prj.play()
# listen... ;-)
Starting with this release, we'll use a more stringent versioning scheme, to summarize:
* MAJOR: Increments on major API breaks, *forces* ABI break, resets MINOR, MICRO
* MINOR: Increments for significant changes or ABI breaks, resets MICRO
* MICRO: Increments with every release, increments must *not* break ABI
* ABI change: Increments MAJOR or MINOR and resets MICRO
Also MAJOR ideally reflects the year a major release was started.
Please test and provide feedback so we can improve the experience. The detailed NEWS are appended for the curious.
Rapicorn 16.0.0: (2016-04-07)

Hi,
This project is a Linux MIDI Synth library based on the Sonivox EAS Synthesizer
published by Google on the Android Open Source Project. It is a real time GM
synthesizer without needing external soundfonts, using embedded samples instead. It
consumes very little resources, so it may be indicated in Linux projects for small
embedded devices.
The library uses ALSA Sequencer MIDI input and PulseAudio output. Complete
compile-time dependencies are:
* Qt5, http://www.qt.io/[1]
* Drumstick, for ALSA MIDI input. http://sourceforge.net/projects/drumstick/[2]
* PulseAudio, for audio output.
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/[3]
The project contains:
* cmdlnsynth: Command line sample program using the synthesizer library
* guisynth: GUI sample program using the synthesizer library
* libsvoxeas: The Linux synthesizer shared library, using ALSA Sequencer and
PulseAudio
* sonivox: The AOSP source files, with a qmake project file to compile and test
under QtCreator as a static library
