Skylark

by Will Godfrey

Yoshimi 1.3.9, that is :) This is another consolidation release (although there are a few new features). With people, and some distros moving to GCC 6 we felt we should make sure we are squeaky clean, as this is much more pedantic regarding code correctness. Our new version has been extensively tested on GCC 4.9/5.3/6.0 both for compilation and runtime performance. One of our users has also double checked by compiling with Clang 3.5 More details in the README.txt file. As usual, available from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi and: https://github.com/Yoshimi/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.

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again, The so called 'Vee One Suite' aka. 'the gang of three' old-school software instruments, respectively synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer and drumkv1 [3] as one drum-kit sampler, are released yet again in their ninth official beta second iteration (bis). Still available in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK [4] client with JACK-session, NSM [5] (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA [6] MIDI input support; - a LV2 [7] instrument plug-in. As simple as a change-log may go: - Fixed the DCF Formant filter voice initialization reset. - French translation updated (by Olivier Humbert, thanks). The Vee One Suite are free, open-source Linux Audio [9] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [8] version 2 or later.

Vee One Suite 0.7.3 - The Ninth beta release -------------------------------------------- The 'Vee One Suite' aka. 'the gang of three' old-school software instruments, synthv1 [1] polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 [2] polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 [3] drum-kit sampler, are now released in their ninth official beta iteration.

Zynaddsubfx 2.5.3 - the “Chiron” Release

by Spencer Jackson

Zynaddsubfx 2.5.3 - “Chiron” Released I’d say it’s a good day for a new release, wouldn’t you? Zynaddsubfx has reached version 2.5.3 including some exciting new changes for the now-officially supported VST and LV2 plugin versions! In addition to the usual bugfixes some rich new features have been added such as: - Add LV2&VST support via DPF - zyn is now working as a native linux plugin in most DAWs! Other platforms coming soon. I know I’m sure excited about this... - Add autosave - Just in case of the rare crash, this can be a lifesaver - Add realtime filter parameter updates - For smoother, wilder filter tweaking - Add LFO random mode - adds sample and hold module integrated to the LFO, great for classic bleep-blop computer sounds (and a hundred other things) - Add more controls to DSSI plugin - For more knob turning sonic automation-exploration in DSSI plugin hosts - Add fixed frequency modulators - Easier FM operations - Add more reset states to knobs/sliders - double click will put it back to the default state, so you don’t need to be afraid of turning that knob, you can always go back. - Add PWM mod - Sweet sweeping from nasally to full bodied square waves - Fix Microtonal UI - if you do microtonal music, this is a huge deal! - Fix 'Add Bank' - easier organization for all your patches - Fix sustain bugs in 2.5.x series - So you can keep your feet below your keyboard to play more notes - Fix mem pool exhaustion bug - a boon to stability - Fix PADnote and Oscilgen copy/paste - for quicker sound design - Fix Midi unlearn - If you want to map that knob to something else... - Other miscellaneous bug fixes - New Presets in the 'olivers-other' bank. That should fix any case of the Mondays. And here’s the contribution score card by number of commits since 2.5.2: 36 Christopher A. Oliver 29 Mark McCurry 28 Filipe Coelho 12 Olivier Jolly 2 Jaromír Mikeš 1 Johannes Lorenz 1 Friedolino 1 Alessio Treglia Many thanks to them and all others who contributed by submitting feedback, bug reports, troubleshooting, or even just making music. We’d love to see more! Now go make some noise! --Team Zyn.

Faust Awards 2016 : call for participation

by Yann Orlarey

[Sorry for cross-posting, please distribute.] Faust Open Source Software Competition ======================================= (Submission Deadline: June 1, 2016) Overview --------- The Faust Open-Source Software Competition is intended to promote innovative high-quality free audio software developed with the Faust programming language, as well as development tools build around the Faust compiler itself. The Faust Open-Source Software award will be attributed to the best submission by an international committee of leading experts in the field. The competition is sponsored by Grame, centre national de création musicale. The winning software will receive a 2000€ price to encourage its authors. The results will be announced July 15, 2016. To participate, the software must be provided with source code and licensed with a Free/Open Source license. A substantial part of the software must be written in Faust and the Faust source code must be provided. As part of the review process, the software will be built from the sources. All source code, license, video demonstration, installation instructions, and any other documentation must be available on a public web page. License compatibility with other open source software is encouraged. Dependencies on non-open source third-party software are discouraged, with the exception of operating systems and freely available commercial packages. Authors are required to prepare a video demonstrating the software. This video must be done carefully, and should convincingly present the qualities of the software. The submission must also contain any useful documentation, including examples of how the provided software might be used, existing prototypes that use the software, download statistics or other public usage information. The criteria for judging submissions includes broad applicability and potential impact, novelty, technical depth, reusability, etc. Junior Competition ------------------ In parallel to the Faust Open-Source Software Competition we introduce this year a junior competition, the Faust Student Software Competition, with a 200€ prize for the winner. The Faust Student Software Competition is intended to promote interesting audio processing and synthesis applications written in Faust in a single file in less than 1000 words. The word count is done after removing the comments from the code: cat foo.dsp | stripcmt | wc -w. The use of the standard Faust libraries is strongly encouraged. They don't take part in the word count. Important dates --------------- - Start of the competition: February 8, 2016 - Software Submission Deadline: June 1, 2016 - Results of the competition: July 1, 2016 Submission Guidelines --------------------- Authors interested in participating in the Faust Open Source Software Competition or the Faust Student Software Competition should send a submission email to <faustaward(a)grame.fr> with a PDF file attached containing the following information: - Title of submission, - Category of submission (*Faust Open Source Software Competition* or *Faust Student Software Competition*), - Name, email and affiliation of the main author, - Names, emails and affiliations of other authors, - A permanent link for the open source software (e.g., Sourceforge, GitHub, Google Code, etc.), - A permanent link for the video demonstration (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), - A link to a compressed archive file that contains the software (source code, documentation, build/install instructions, and licenses). Comprehensive and clear build/install instructions will be a crucial component of any submission. The committee will make a reasonable effort to build the software for the top contributions, but if they are unable to make the software run, it will be excluded from the competition. International Committee ----------------------- - Jean-Louis Giavitto (IRCAM, Paris, France), - Albert Gräf (Johannes Gutenberg U., Mainz, Germany), - Pierre Jouvelot (Ecole des Mines, Paris, France), - Victor Lazzarini (Maynooth U., Maynooth, Ireland), - Romain Michon (CCRMA, Stanford , USA) - Yann Orlarey (Grame, Lyon, France), - Dave Phillips (Musician/Journalist, Findlay, USA) - Laurent Pottier (U.

Qtractor 0.7.4 - The Tackiest Gluon released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Ahoy there! Qtractor 0.7.4 (the tackiest gluon) has been released! Y'all know the drill... 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: - Eye-candy warning: muted/non-soloed tracks are now shaded over the main thumb-view. - Faster and crispier VST plugin editor (GUI) idle cycles. - Fixed all core processing when any plugin has more audio outputs than channels on a track/bus where it's inserted. - Added one decimal digit to all percentage input spin-boxes on the MIDI Tools dialog. - Added brand new and global option to disable the so called "catch-up" default behavior (cf. View/Controllers.../Sync). - Fixed some track control issues related to MIDI Controllers generic mapping (cf. View/Controllers...). - Try making Help/Shortcuts... dialog window modeless, as far as under MIDI Controller, Inputs/Outputs Connections window also gets accessible enough. - Fixed some vertical scrolling and play-head line re-drawing glitches introduced by the recent unlimited slack to editing beyond current contents length on main tracks view. - Added one decimal digit to the Pitch-shift spin-box on audio Clip/Edit... properties dialog window. - Added application keywords to freedesktop.org's AppData. - Fixed local keyboard shortcuts on the Files organizer widget actions and context-menu. - Improved Mixer multi-row layout (patch by Holger Marzen aka. bluebell, thanks). - Fixed the Ctrl+drag/cloning left of a clip when towards near the beginning of session. Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor/files - source tarball: http://download.sf.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.7.4.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE Tumbleweed): http://download.sf.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.7.4-22.rncbc.suse.src.rpm - binary packages (openSUSE Tumbleweed): http://download.sf.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.7.4-22.rncbc.suse.i586.rpm http://download.sf.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.7.4-22.rncbc.suse.x86_84.rpm - wiki (on going, help still wanted!): http://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/wiki/ Weblog (on going, upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor [1] is free, open-source Linux Audio [5] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL [6]) version 2 or later.

AV Linux new URL and other news.

by Glen MacArthur

Hi LAU's If you are or have been an AV Linux user you may be interested in these changes, if not, as you were, sorry to disturb :) AV Linux 6.0.4 is now being taken down and has ceased maintenance to prepare for AV Linux '2016' which will be based on Debian Testing and pending some further documentation on the new User Manual should have a Release Candidate available later this month. Other tidbits happening now or soon: - Migration to a new Wordpress site for bandshed.net and all related activities including AV Linux and the AVL Drumkits. - Removal of the old HTML sites. - Removal of the AV Linux 6 Deb packages and other related clean up. - Removal of the AV Linux 6 ISO's, Torrents and Manuals - Minting of a 'frozen' Release Candidate ISO for AV Linux '2016' - Continued work on the new manual... it's going slowly I'm afraid and there is a LOT of new stuff to document. - A very short screencast about the next AV Linux. If you have an application that links to AV Linux because it is featured on the Live ISO please see the updated URLs here: Bandshed.net: http://www.bandshed.net/wordpress/ AV Linux: http://www.bandshed.net/wordpress/avlinux/ AVL Drumkits: http://www.bandshed.net/wordpress/avldrumkits/ I would like to say thank you to the Linux Audio Users and Developers for helping AV Linux versions 1-6 to become an actual 'thing', truthfully you guys are the rock stars and AV Linux was simply a stage for the show and the spotlight has faded as I've taken time off to do other things and KXStudio has become the extremely warranted and excellent go-to for many 'Buntu/Debian people. In light of that and having ridden around the carousel a few times, AV Linux 2016 will hopefully be a much lower profile affair and simply exist as a shared, ready to use Linux Audio and Video workstation image for those who need it. Previously AV Linux became many things that I neither deserved or anticipated and this time time I'd like to keep it manageable and simply be a facilitator and evangelist for the great work of you LAD's and leave the Distro guru stuff up to those with the credentials :). Thanks also to falkTX whose phenomenal applications and tireless packaging work have taken a huge burden off my shoulders and made it possible for AVL to continue, sincere thanks also to linuxaudio.org for the download Mirror, it is very much appreciated. Thanks, Glen
