[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.6.3 - A sixth beta release

by Rui Nuno Capela

[UPDATE] As a micro dot release override, the current sixth beta release is out and crunching the earlier fifth to oblivion ;) Howdy, The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments, aka. the 'gang of three' have bumped over another tiny notch: synthv1 [1], as one polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 [2], a polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 [3], as one drum-kit sampler, are now being released to the masses. Again ;) There's no big audible changes, if any at all, yet this fifth beta release is rather a probable bug fix drumkv1 LV2 on Ardour. Anyway, it's all gone as follows: - Sample file drag-and-drop support has been added to the note element list widget (drumkv1 [3] only). - Main widget layout changed as much to allow sampler display and element list to expand or grow vertically as needed (samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3]). - Sample file path mapping has been fixed for LV2 plugin state restoration, which were preventing Ardour to reload any of the saved session or preset sample files in particular (drumkv1 [3] only). - Custom knob/dial behavior mode options are now introduced: linear and angular (aka. radial) as far to avoid abrupt changes on first mouse click (still the default behavior). - Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds. We're still available in dual form, as business as usual: - 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. Enough to tell, the Vee One Suite are free and open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [8] version 2 or later. As always, have (lots of) fun :) **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1]** synthv1 0.6.3 (sixth official beta) is out! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

Stoat 1.1 Released

by Mark D. McCurry

The 1.1 version release of stoat is now available. Stoat is a STatic (LLVM) Object Analysis Tool which is used to perform static analysis on C/C++ projects involving realtime constraints. The analysis traces feasible callgraphs within a program and detects cases where it may be possible to invoke a non-realtime function such as malloc from a realtime context. Hopefully this will help developers find possible bugs which other tools or manual code review might miss. New from the 1.0 release - Basic Dump Output - Support For Try{}Catch{} - Support For Rtosc Callbacks - Wildcard Support For Function Specs - stoat-compile/stoat-compile++ utility - Parallel Analysis - Namespace Support - Translation Unit Local Template Alias Support - Multiple Inheritance Vtable Support To get the source or to report any issues, just see the github page: https://github.com/fundamental/stoat Enjoy, --Mark McCurry

LV2 1.0.0 Released

by David Robillard

The first unified LV2 release, LV2 1.0.0, is out. This release merges the previous lv2core package with all the official extension packages, as well as example plugins, lv2specgen, and additional data. From a developer point of view, the biggest change is that all LV2 API headers can be used by simply checking for the single pkg-config package "lv2" (for compatibility the previous "lv2core" package is still installed). Implementations are encouraged to abandon the "copy paste headers" practice and depend on this package instead. With this release, several new extensions have become stable that together greatly increase the power of LV2: atom, log, parameters, patch, port-groups, port-props, resize-port, state, time, worker. Download: http://lv2plug.in/spec/lv2-1.0.0.tar.bz2 Documentation and more detailed change logs: http://lv2plug.in/ns/ More information about LV2: http://lv2plug.in/ Enjoy, -dr

OSC2MIDI Version 0.1.02 Released

by Spencer Jackson

With some help I found many missing but needed features in osc2midi. These have been added and are ready for release. OSC2MIDI is a highly configurable osc to jack midi (and back) bridge for linux. It is useful for controlling jack midi apps with a mobile device, or controlling OSC apps like Ardour or the Non-Daw applications with a midi device, or any application of communicating between osc and midi devices. Configuration is done through a simple text file, with several examples included. notable changes since version 0: -can now use constant arguments or even ranges of constants in the OSC or the Midi message to map lots of messages quickly -You can linearly scale values on the osc or midi message side making it much easier when writing maps for converting midi to osc -You can map single values from osc or midi messages to multiple values on the other side -Mappings are now installed to a more conventional location (/usr/share) and mappings in the home directory take priority over default maps if name matches. -Various bugfixes You can download it for free and freedom at https://sourceforge.net/projects/osc2midi/files/ Thanks to all who have reported bugs and helped out! _Spencer

LAC2015 Aftermath: The LAC2014 Percussion Combo Kit now available

by Frank Neumann

Hi, during LAC2015 in Mainz last week, I gave a lightning talk on what I called "The LAC2014 Percussion Combo". It was a presentation about a little field recording session conducted one year earlier, during LAC2014 in Karlsruhe, and what I made out of it. The data is now finally online, including the actual sample library kit (individual wav files) with a mapping file for Hydrogen, a tiny demo pattern, and a demo song called "That's LAC" that came to life "out of nowhere" - well, I guess I'll simply call it my first Linux Audio "release" ever :-). Read all about it here: http://linuxaudio.de/wp/?p=158 Thanks go out to the individual artists whose performance I had the honour to record: Marc Groenewegen, Pjotr Lasschuit, Nils Gey, Bernard Tressol, Michael Seeber, Stefano Pedrinazzi, Marie-Kristin Meier, and Fernando Lopez-Lezcano. Enjoy, Frank

MIDA 0.4.2 released

by Mark Karpov

Optimization and cosmetic changes: * introduced simplifications on the level of internal language; * changed default values of some parameters; * some characters have been replaced with pretty Unicode symbols; * improved manual. In my opinion now MIDA is more or less mature and I want to try to create similar tool (language) for algorithmic automation for various DAWs. I could use significant portion of MIDA code for it, not sure when it will available. If you're interested and you have any ideas/propositions please email me. ---- MIDA is a minimalistic declarative language for algorithmic generation of MIDI files. MIDA can help you create variative elements in your music in a very simple way. More about it here: https://mrkkrp.github.io/mida/ ---- GitHub repository: https://github.com/mrkkrp/mida

Qtractor 0.6.6 - The Lazy Tachyon is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

And finally, for the wrap of the pre-LAC2015@JGU-Mainz [1] release party, no other than the 'crown jewel' of the whole Qstuff* bunch ;) Qtractor 0.6.6 (lazy tachyon beta) is out! Release highlights: * LV2 and VST plugins GUI position persistence (NEW) * MIDI clip editor record/overdub note rendering (FIX) * VST plugin recursive discovery/search path (NEW) * VST-shell sub-plugins support (FIX) * also some old and new lurking bugs squashed. Qtractor [2] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt4 framework. 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 record/reopen to/from SMF format 0 has been fixed. - LV2 and VST plugins GUI editor widget position is preserved across hide/show cycles. - Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData [6]. - Added a "Don't ask this again" prompt option to zip/archive extrated directory removal/replace warning messages. - MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) gets lingering notes properly shown while on record/overdubbing. - Current highlighted client/port connections are now drawn with thicker connector lines. - Fixing segfaults due to QClipboard::mimeData() returning an invalid null pointer while on Qt5 and Weston. - Return of an old hack/fix for some native VST plugins with GUI editor, on whether to skip the explicit shared library unloading on close and thus avoid some mysterious crashes on session and/or application exit. - Force reset of plugin selection list when any of the plugin search paths change (in View/Options.../Plugins/Paths). - Recursive VST plugin search is now in effect for inventory and discovery on path sub-directories (VST only). - Non-dummy scannig for regular VST, non-shell plugins, were doomed to infinite-loop freezes on discovery, now fixed.

MIDA 0.4.1 released

by Mark Karpov

MIDA 0.4.1 released, changes: * dramatically improved efficiency, now very long compositions can be quickly rendered; * lexer: changed style of comments, shell-like comments adopted; * changed alias of notes: dièse is written now as `s` not as `#`, so middle octave is: `c5`, `cs5`, `d5`, `ds5`, `e5`, etc.; * now there are alias for all supported (in MIDI) pitches from 0 to 127, that is: from `c0` to `g10` (alias `c10` -- `g10` added); * changed alias of modulation signs, reason for such change is purely technical -- all alias now are predefined definitions, rather than syntactic sugar, so all alias must be valid identifiers; * identifiers can contain underline sign (`_`); * arbitrary number of files can be specified for loading (from command line, as well as from interactive REPL); * many purely technical changes that are difficult to explain concisely, but they should be mentioned, most important being addition of test suite and ability to generate source files from syntax trees; * added command line options: `--license` and `--version`. So, here are some syntax changes, this is because the project is still in flux, but it's settling down.
