[ANN] A website for pre-sets, soundfonts, and more

by lucas z

Hey everyone, this is a project I've been working on for some months now and now I think it's ready for some beta testing. https://musical-artifacts.com/ is a place to collect free 'musical artifacts', that is, pre-sets, configuration files, soundfonts, etc. make them searchable and taggable and give credit to authors. For example here are some soundfonts, zyn pre-sets and guitarix tones: https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts?tags=soundfont https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts?apps=guitarix https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts?apps=zynaddsubfx I've started populating the application with some artifacts and will continue doing so in the future. Also the application is in BETA right, so new features are coming and some bugs are to be expected! You can look at the source, contribute or file bugs via github https://github.com/lfzawacki/musical-artifacts That's it!

[ANN] Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard (VMPK) 0.6.1 released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another instrument or MIDI file player. The precompiled packages include the GeneralUser GS SoundFont by S.Christian Collins (http://www.schristiancollins.com/generaluser.php) ready to use with the FluidSynth output driver (also included in these packages, providing beautiful sounds out of the box). Changes for v0.6.1: * Fixes for ALSA (Linux) and Windows input drivers, (provided by Drumstick 1.0.1 libraries) * Packaged using the Qt Frameworks 5.5.0 * Fixed ticket #27: save keyboard maps with default xml extension * Fixed ticket #29: display input event noteon with velocity=0 as noteoff * Color palette management fixes * Updated Russian and Serbian translations Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: CMake 3.0, Qt 5.1 and Drumstick 1.0 or later. Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for questions and comments. Thanks.

rkr lv2 Beta 0 released

by Spencer Jackson

HI all! Would you like 40 more effect plugins? After many months of persistence I have ported the Rakarrack effects to lv2 format. With each effect, the individual effect presets have been ported as well. I am very excited about this project and hope that this can keep the Rakarrack project as one of the highlights of linux audio. Rakarrack is currently in need of a proper maintainer. So if you are interested please contact the developers! I made these ports such that all changes could be ported back into the main codebase. The porting took a lot of manual entry of matching parameter bounds and indices etc.. So as you test and use these, please report any strange behaviour you notice (such as changing the "gain" parameter actually changed the decay time, etc.). I will be trying to test these but it will take me quite some time to give them all a good shake down.Current status is that they all can be loaded by Carla and Jalv, with some audio testing on a few by me, and some testing by other parties. No known issues currently exist. I am currently working on porting the preset banks to Carla rack presets. This will allow us to load any of the presets from Rakarrack and insert it as a single plugin in Ardour or other hosts. I would like to get the community started testing these in parallel with my effort. Once I have that done I will announce a second beta. Not all of the effects were ported, since some were duplicate code, direct copies of ladspa plugins, or redundant of other lv2 plugins (like the looper or colvolotron). The interface was kept close to Rakarrack, but some parameter changes were made for the intent of clarity, such as wet/dry - instead of the original -64 is all wet, 0 a 50/50 wet/dry mix, 63 dry, now 0 means all wet, 127 all dry. Parameter names were altered in places as well (e.g. St. Df. now is labeled "Left/Right LFO delay"). Case by case feedback on these decisions is also welcome. For those unfamiliar with Rakarrack, here are all the effects, marked to show which are in this new plugin bundle: EFFECTS (X - done, W - won't do, + - done with missing features) [X] Lineal EQ [X] Compressor [X] Distortion [W] Overdrive - exact same engine as distortion, but has fewer controls, presets were added to dist. [X] Echo [X] Chorus [W] Phaser - I'm not planning to do this. I'm only interested in the analog phaser version [X] Analog Phaser [W] Flanger - this is identical to the chorus, presets from this will be included there [X] Reverb [X] Parametric EQ [X] Cabinet Emulation [X] AutoPan/Stereo Expander [+] Harmonizer - midi mode was not ported [X] Musical Delay [W] Noise Gate - Direct copy of Steve Harris's Gate ladspa plugin [X] WahWah [X] AlienWah [X] Derelict [X] Valve [X] Dual Flange [X] Ring [X] Exciter [X] DistBand [X] Arpie [X] Expander [X] Shuffle [X] Synthfilter [X] VaryBand [W] Convolotron - other excellent lv2 convolution engines already exist [W] Looper - other good lv2 loopers exist [X] MuTroMojo [X] Echoverse [X] CoilCrafter [X] ShelfBoost [X] Vocoder [X] Sustainer [X] Sequence [X] Shifter [X] StompBox - an extra plugin for fuzz mode was added, as interface is different [X] Reverbtron [X] Echotron [+] StereoHarm - no midi mode [X] CompBand [X] Opticaltrem [X] Vibe [X] Infinity Further help using them can be found at http://rakarrack.sourceforge.net/effects.html . I hope you all find these enjoyable, and make great music with them. Please download and try them at: http://github.com/ssj71/rkrlv2 Enjoy! _Spencer

Qtractor 0.7.0 - The Muon Base is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Ahoy! Stepping up to Summer'15 release frenzy stage scene, in it's fourth and hopefully last act, Qtractor 0.7.0 (muon base beta) is out! 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. As a major highlight to this release, there's the advent of regular MIDI controllers mapping/assignment to main application menu command actions, just like normal PC-keyboard shortcuts, is being introduced (cf. main menu Help/Shortcuts...). Have a 'hotta' Summer'15 ;) Enjoy. Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor/files - source tarball: http://www.rncbc.org/archive/qtractor-0.7.0.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 13.2): http://www.rncbc.org/archive/qtractor-0.7.0-18.rncbc.suse132.src.rpm - binary packages (openSUSE 13.2): http://www.rncbc.org/archive/qtractor-0.7.0-18.rncbc.suse132.i586.rpm http://www.rncbc.org/archive/qtractor-0.7.0-18.rncbc.suse132.x86_84.rpm - wiki (help wanted!): http://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/wiki/ Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor [1] is free, open-source Linux Audio [6] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL [5]) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Complete rewrite of Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds. - Revised MIDI Controlllers catch-up algorithm. - Mixer multi-row layout gets a little bit of a fairness fix. - Non-continuous MIDI Controllers now have their Hook and Latch options disabled as those are found not applicable, - As an alternative to PC-keyboard shortcuts, MIDI controllers are now also assignable and configurable for any of the main menu command actions, all from the same old configuration dialog (Help/Shortcuts...). - Fixed missing Track and Clip sub-menus from Edit/context-menu that were found AWOL ever since after the Lazy Tachyon beta release (> 0.6.6). - An off-by-one bar position (as in BBT, bar, beat and ticks) has been purportedly fixed as long as LV2 Time/Position atom event transfer goes. - French (fr) translation line to desktop file added (patch by Olivier Humbert, thanks). - A new top-level widget window geometry state save and restore sub-routine is now in effect. - Improved MIDI clip editor resilience across tempo and time-signature changes. - Keyboard shortcuts configuration (Help/Shortcuts...) now lists complete menu/action path where available. - Fixed in-flight VST plugin editor (GUI) resizing. - Added support to LV2UI_portMap extension, found really handy for the cases where you have multiple plugins with different port configurations and a single common UI to drive them all (pull request by Hanspeter Portner aka. ventosus, thanks).

Vee One Suite 0.7.0 - Seventh beta release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone, The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments, aka. the 'gang of three' have gone through yet another milestone: synthv1 [1], as one polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 [2], a polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 [3], as one drum-kit sampler, are now part of the Summer'15 release frenzy :) 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. Common change-log follows: - Complete rewrite of Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds. - Reset ramps after LV2 control port reconnection; small fixes to LV2.ttl (pull-requests by Hanspeter Portner aka. ventosus, on synthv1, thanks). - MIDI Controllers/Programs is now an optional feature on the LV2 plugin forms, as some LV2 hosts might enforce the purity restriction to input control ports as being absolutely read-only parameter values from a plugin's instance perspective. - MIDI Controller mapping/learn is now possible on all parameter control knobs; with global configuration also available on the Help/Configure dialog. - French (fr) translation line to desktop file added (by Olivier Humbert, thanks). The Vee One Suite are free and open-source Linux Audio [9] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [8] version 2 or later.
