Qtractor 0.7.2 - The Tacky Gluon beta release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Season greetings y'all, As cheesy as it might go, as a must already, Qtractor 0.7.2 (tacky gluon beta) is out! Quite frankly, there's nothing really stopping you from an upgrade or rather update to taste! :) 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. Major highlights for this dot release are: * MIDI Track/Instrument bank/programs menu (NEW) * VST plug-ins preset/bank (FXP/FXB) files support (NEW) * Duplicate track menu command (NEW) * XRUN status bar indicator (NEW) And, of course, Qtractor [1] is now built to Qt5 [2] as per configure default. Hope you enjoy.

Change-log: - Yet another audio/MIDI time drift correction fix, now giving it some slack while turnaround looping on tempo changes. - Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix platforms. - MIDI Track/Instrument cascading pop-up menus have been added, to main and MIDI clip editor windows. - VST Plugin preset/bank files support (FXB/FXP) is now being integrated to the generic Plugin/Properties widget dialog. - Added new Track/Duplicate menu command. - Added simple XRUN red indicator to status bar. - Make sure program change/presets are not selected on possibly multi-timbral instrument plugins when inserted on a MIDI bus. - Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script. - Fixed a potential crash-bug on first enabling either once the audio or MIDI metronomes.

Infamous Plugins V0.2.0 The Come What May Places Release Pre-Announce

by Spencer Jackson

Along the dusty road into the small western town, the infamous gang approaches. They ride up, bringing along the usual uneasy feeling. What trouble will it be this time? It's soon apparent that in addition to sundry bugfixes and improving tweaks among the group, a new brother has joined the bandits... the infamous lushlife! https://youtu.be/7-jbAm7YU5c This fully featured Artificial Double Tracker (ADT) plugin has up to 6 channels of doubling, each with controllable detuning, delay, gain, panning, and 2 lfos (per channel). It can do everything from thin beatle effects to lush choruses. To learn more go to http://ssj71.github.io/infamousPlugins/ But wait, this plugin cannot fully maraude with the others; the GUI is being held for ransom! Its sentence is 50 days, but you could pitch in for an early bail. Every $2 donated will move the release up 1 day. The plugin itsself is in the releases section ready to download and try, but for the GUI, you have to donate, or just wait. All source code will be released by 28 January 2016, unless donations buy it down to an earlier date. Also I'll accept bartering for donations. Presets, documentation, demos, videos, songs, ANYTHING for any project that builds up the linux audio community can be used. Contact me and tell me what you'll do and we'll work out a "value" for how many days I'll knock off. One additional point of note regarding the lushlife GUI, the host generated UI allows you to go to very extreme values (2 octaves up or down!), whereas the GUI limits it to the more useful (and natural sounding) middle ground. This way the GUI provides better resolution for tweaking in the critical regions. Check them out at http://ssj71.github.io/infamousPlugins For more info about donations and the GUI release go to http://ssj71.github.io/infamousPlugins/donate.html Enjoy! _Spencer (ssj71)

Zynaddsubfx 2.5.2 - “The Space of Two Weeks” Released

by Spencer Jackson

Zynaddsubfx 2.5.2 - “The Space of Two Weeks” Release A mere three months after the last release, the Zynaddsubfx team proudly announces Version 2.5.2, the “Space of Two Weeks” release. In addition to stability improvements, it adds some exciting and useful new features: * Add MIDI-Learn serialization - this allows for midi mappings to be saved and loaded, a huge boon for midi control workflow. * Add pink noise source - pink noise is usually considered the most “musical” or natural of noise sources, like rain, waterfalls, or ocean waves. * Restore mousewheel functionality - a sorely missed feature, provides easy and consistent course and fine tuning of parameters. Mouse drag has matching behavior now as well. * Restore bank LSB/MSB MIDI support - makes all presets in a bank selectable by MIDI. * Improve tip windows - if enabled, shows you helpful tips you never knew on startup. * Improve oscdoc output - this utility documents all the OSC messages that can control zyn and lists and describes them at http://fundamental-code.com/zyn-ports2/ These messages could be used by OSC apps on remote machines, android or iOS devices to control zyn. * Restore External Oscillator/Modulator functionality - now you can use external sources for new audio waveforms, or modulation signals. * Remove remaining globals - a feat in itself, this results in safer, cleaner, better designed code, additional stability, and sets the stage for using zyn as a plugin. * Fix UI connection bugs - this improves the workflow and reliability for those using zyn in headless systems, controlling it through the zyn user interface on a remote machine. * Added shortcuts on edit buttons - holding shift or control when opening the edit window of several features now opens a different, commonly useful window (i.e. shift+click of the ADsynth edit button brings up the voice list window). * Other miscellaneous bug fixes For more detail on these improvements read the in-depth announcement on the mailing list ( https://sourceforge.net/p/zynaddsubfx/mailman/message/34609692/). Thanks to all who contributed bug reports and feedback! We can always use more! This release has commits from Mark McCurry, Christopher Oliver, Filipe Coelho, Johannes Lorenz, and Hans Selasky, with translation from Oliver Humbert. Naturally, we recommend all users and packagers update to take advantage of these fixes and features. Now go make some noise! --Team Zyn.

QMidiArp-0.6.3 bugfix release

by Frank Kober

Dear all, QMidiarp-0.6.3 fixes an annoying regression in the Arp LV2 module, where the pattern display did not follow changes made in the pattern field or when selecting a preset. It also fixes the LV2 plugin user interfaces when building with --enable-qt5. NOTE (again) that when built against Qt5 these plugins will work only in Qt5 plugin hosts at this time (i.e. Rui's Qtractor or drobilla's jalv.qt5, but no longer Ardour), however updates of drobilla's suil library also seem to be on their way. Please update to this version and.... Enjoy! Frank ----- qmidiarp-0.6.3 (2015-11-01) Fixed Bugs o LV2 Arp: Regression: Display updates no longer worked when changing arp patterns o Configure script caused trouble on certain build systems (bug #15 raised by the Mageia team) o LV2: Qt5 UIs did not have the correct UI type entry in ttl files Improvements o LV2 Arp: Factory pattern presets are now accessible as LV2 presets o LV2 Arp: Latch mode now also available in LV2 plugin ----- QMidiArp is a MIDI arpeggiator, phrase generator and controller LFO for JACK and ALSA. It can run multiple synchronized arpeggiators, LFOs and step sequencers. The modules are also available as LV2 plugins with Qt user interface. All in all it is a handy live tool. Website http://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net/ Download http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.6.3/qmidiarp-0.6.… There is now also a github repo that will be kept in sync with the sf repo for the time being https://github.com/emuse/qmidiarp

Praxis LIVE v2.2.0

by Neil C Smith

Hi All, Praxis LIVE v2.2.0 is now available for download from www.praxislive.org This is the first release to upgrade the OpenGL renderer to Processing v3. Feedback on whether this is working well would be appreciated. Full change log - * OpenGL video pipeline updated to Processing v3.0.1 / JOGL v2.3.2. While providing major performance and stability improvements, this is a major change and there is the possibility for some regressions. Please update carefully and report any issues. * Optional support for GStreamer 1.x. This can be set under Tools / Options / Video / GStreamer (requires restart). Unlike GStreamer 0.10 support, this requires a system installed version of the GStreamer library on all platforms. Windows and OSX users who want to experiment with this feature can download GStreamer from http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/ * New core:tracker component, and simple table-based tracker editor (use popup menu and Edit patterns to access). More advanced editing features to follow. * New routing components - core:routing:every for allowing through every n-th message, and core:routing:order to prioritise dispatching of messages. * New audio:clock component for more stable timing in BPM (quantized to internal processing buffer size). * Internal (and outdated) help removed and replaced with link through to online manual at http://praxis-live.readthedocs.org * TinkerForge bindings updated to v2.1.5. * Added ready and error ports to video:capture and video:player. Can be connected to play or pause to auto-start playback when new file or pipeline loaded. * Many minor bug fixes (see commit log).
