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. *** snip snip *** Further information, screenshots and download links are available at: http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ <http://www.rivendellaudio.org/> <http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ <http://www.rivendellaudio.org/>> Cheers! |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

[LAA] Beast 0.10.0 and Rapicorn 16.0.0

by Tim Janik

Rapicorn is a toolkit for declarative UIs and SVG-based theming, see: http://rapicorn.org/ https://testbit.eu/pub/dists/rapicorn/ Beast is an audio composer and modular synthesis application, see: http://beast.testbit.eu/ https://testbit.eu/pub/dists/beast/ 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) * Remove internal librsvg copy, require an installed librsvg-2.0. * Provide enum meta information for enum values stored in Any. * Provide change notification signals for Parameter. * Cleanup threads via atexit(3). * Added support for auxillary data on IDL sequence and record definitions. * Added compatibility code to downgrade cython requirement to 0.20.1 for trusty. * Added fixes for g++-4.8.4 and libtool >= 1.5.2. * Grow Any content to enable structured type and small string optimizations. * Remove remove Atomic<> in favour of the "Construct On First Use Idiom". * Improved exception specifications to satisfy cython-0.23.3. * Reduced unit testing time, individually and by tuning the benchmark timers. * Use xvfb-run(1) to run X11 related unit tests. * Support and use the TAP protocol for unit test evaluation. * New versioning: Releases increase MAJOR for major API changes. * New versioning: Releases increase MINOR in case of any ABI breaks. * New versioning: Releases increase MICRO for backwards compatibility. * New versioning: The MAJOR number ideally matches the release year. * The Python module alias remans 'Rapicorn', stored in Rapicorn_15/. * C++ namespace changed to 'Rapicorn', files install under 'rapicorn-$MAJOR'. * The librapicorn shared library supports installation of multiple versions. * Many build system fixes and integration of travis-ci builds. * Automatically built Debian packages are now on http://bintray.com/beast-team/. * The file debian/copyright now contains an accurate licensing account. * Install cython headers to allow IDL Python bindings outside Rapicorn. * Add AutoSeeder class to provide good non-deterministic seeding entropy. * Add PCG-32 which provides fast but well distributed pseudo random numbers. * Include a random_secret() in hash functions to avoid collision attacks. * Use Python enum classes and C++11 enum classes in IDL code generation. * Fixed shebang to reliably find Python2.7. [Milk Brewster] Beast 0.10.0: (2016-04-07) * Memory leak and stability fixes. * Removal of deprecated Glib/Gtk+ functions. * A new binary 'bsetool' subsumes several old utilities. * Removal of unused utilities and several places with dead code. * Several classes are now (fully) ported to new AIDA IDL: SNet Track TrackPart Bus SampleFileInfo Project MusicalTuning NoteDescription Icon * More porting work to use Rapicorn C++11 utilities. * Fixes for g++-4.9 which has become a hard dependency. * Support and use the TAP protocol for unit test evaluation. * New versioning: Releases increase MAJOR for major API changes. * New versioning: Releases increase MINOR in case of any ABI breaks. * New versioning: Releases increase MICRO for backwards compatibility. * Now libbse supports parallel installation of runtime library packages. * Now various program and module installation paths include MAJOR. * Fix build issues with external libbse plugins. * Fix LADSPAv1 plugin registration failing to detect some plugins. * Provide C++11 API for undo/redo functions. * Add pybse API wrapper that allows Python to 'import Bse'. * Start a Python interpreter from Beast. * Split up Beast main() methods to run event loop from Python. * Port libbse to use C++11 scoped enums. -- Yours sincerely, Tim Janik https://testbit.eu/timj/ Free software author.

[LAA] Sonivox EAS ported to Linux from Android

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

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 Copyright (C) 2016 Pedro López-Cabanillas. https://github.com/pedrolcl/Linux-SonivoxEas Regards, Pedro -------- [1] http://www.qt.io/ [2] http://sourceforge.net/projects/drumstick/ [3] http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng

We're proud to announce the immediate availability of DrumGizmo version 0.9.10! 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 two major bugs: - Resampler now works when using DrumGizmo as a plugin. - LV2 plugin no longer freezes on tempo changes. Download it from http://www.drumgizmo.org Visit us at the official irc channel at the Freenode network. Channel name #DrumGizmo. We would love to hear from you! // The DrumGizmo team

[LAA] compose is out

by Cedric Roux

Hi everyone! just a short mail to tell you about my little program to study tonal music: compose. There is an X11 user interface and it's mostly keyboard-centric. There is alsa midi output. It's very small and very basic. The documentation is, ahem, well, the main thing you need to know is that there are two main edition modes and you switch between them with the escape key. For the rest, go read the source! (what? Sed it's 2016!! be serious man!!) (yeah yeah, but you know, LAZINESS!) (I will write some documentation at some point, I just feel very very lazy these days, I mean weeks, well okay months.) That thing is functional for me, probably not for anyone else but I feel like I want to announce about it. You know, the "spirit", freedom, and so on. To hell with "professional" software! Let's take back the control of our computers and write basic software that just work(tm) and are SMALL and ELEGANT, for hell's sake! And for whatever reason I am not satisfied at all with all this "notation editor" business or whatever it's called. Not. At. All. Anyway, it's at http://sed.free.fr/compose It will never be finished, for are there software out there that are finished? Let's also get rid of that release thing, this is totally meaningless. Let's go raw! Happy classic music everyone! Time for my pills. Cédric.
