http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html The latest release of the caps audio plugin suite contains a number of bug fixes and improvements as well as changes intended to make it more suitable for low-power systems. http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#CHANGES Most notably, support for a variety of little-used features has been dropped, reducing the binary size by roughly a third. There's also a new plugin implementing simplistic linear emulation of several guitar amplifier loudspeaker cabinets with reduced computational complexity: http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#CabinetIII The compressor plugins now report current gain reduction: http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#Compress http://quitte.de/dsp/caps_0.9.24.tar.bz2 Cheers, Tim

Re: [LAD] aBLETON lINK

by Perry Nguyen

hi, I've posted about Ableton Link a number of times now on LM and LAD but I was never satisfactorily responded to.. Here's my post from LM https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14913 here's the same thing I posed on LAD http://linux-audio.4202.n7.nabble.com/ableton-link-and-live-tempo-changing-… well I hope someone sees my post this time. But anyway I'm just copying my message from LM if anyone has opinions: Hey rui, I've noticed the discussions on github/LAD (the latter of which i am still unable to post on[image: :?] ) and your PR to Link. It seems like you've made reasonable progress with it-- can you comment on how feasible the ideas I described in my original post are? I am still vaguely under the impression that if a Timebase master client is Link-capable then any transport-aware client (e.g. most LAU apps today) would be able to follow any tempo changes described by the master and therefore automatically have "Link support"-- from my understanding the JACK Timebase includes transport control and BPM information (though maybe not beat sync information like Link?). Then can't a timebase master client be Link-obedient just in regards to BPM but operate transport independently (since Link doesn't have transport a transport representation anyway)? Though after reading your post to LAD a couple times over it seems like there is possibly overlooked but important incongruity between BPM and "linear/real-time".. and perhaps that limits the ability of word-clock time designators like JACK from seamlessly following BPM? If that is the case it is still unclear to me what the specific technical details of that incongruity are.

Hi, I'm new

by Guy Sherman

Hi all, I just found this list after being directed to the IRC channel over the weekend. I'm new here! Lately I've been dabbling in a bit of open-source audio development (I say open-source rather than linux, because I've been dabbling on both linux and windows). Anyhow, amongst other things I've been trying to teach myself about DSP, so I wrote a really (really, really, really) naive distortion plugin. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in taking a look at it and giving me some feedback, and tips on where to go next. I wrote a little about it here: http://guysherman.com/2015/08/30/my-first-ever-audio-plugin/ And the code is at: https://github.com/guysherman/si-plugins I've got some other projects on the boil that I've been talking about with the crew from the Ardour list, which I'll mention here when they take shape a little more. Cheers, Guy. -- Guy Sherman *e:* guy(a)guysherman.com *w: *http://guysherman.com

[ANN] Qtractor 0.7.9 - A Snobbier Graviton release

by Rui Nuno Capela

So it's the last equinox'16... And the last of the Qstuff* End of Summer'16 release parties [7][8]. Qtractor 0.7.9 (snobbier graviton) is now released! Release highlights: * Audio/MIDI metronome anticipatory offset (NEW) * Current clip highlighting (NEW) * SFZ sample file archive/zip bundling (NEW) * MIDI transpose Reverse tool (NEW) * MIDI (N)RPN running status and NULL support (NEW) * MIDI Controllers catch-up algorithm (FIX) * MIDI track Instrument menu (FIX) * JACK shutdown and buffer-size changes (FIX) 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. 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-0.7.9.tar.gz - source package: http://download.sf.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.7.9-27.rncbc.suse.src.rpm - binary packages: http://download.sf.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.7.9-27.rncbc.suse.i586.rpm http://download.sf.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.7.9-27.rncbc.suse.x86_84.rpm Git repos: http://git.code.sf.net/p/qtractor/code https://github.com/rncbc/qtractor.git https://gitlab.com/rncbc/qtractor.git https://bitbucket.org/rncbc/qtractor.git Wiki (help wanted!): http://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/wiki/ 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. And the boring complete change-log follows: - JACK buffer-size change handling has been deeply improved, now doing an immediate session restart, while preserving all external connections as much as possible. - Introducing an audio and MIDI metronome anticipatory offset, kind of latency compensation, to respective option settings cf. View/Options.../Audio, MIDI/Metronome/Offset (latency). - Fixed LADSPA plug-in preset switching, incidentally broken as NOP, ever since late Haziest Photon's crash-landed. - MIDI Track/Instrument cascading menus have been found empty broken on Qt5 builds, now fixed. - MIDI RPN/NRPN running status and RPN NULL reset command are now supported (input only). - Fixed a sure immediate crash on removing audio buses that are current targets of any active Aux-send inserts. - Fixed yet another old bummer that was reaping off assigned MIDI controllers on existing track's gain/volume or panning controls, when adding any single new track. - Fixed missing feedback on MIDI controllers assigned to any of monitor, record, mute and solo track/bus state buttons. - Eye-candy warning: the current clip, not necessarily the one currently selected, is now highlighted with a solid outline; linked MIDI clips are also highlighted with an alternate dashed outline. - SFZ file conversion, and bundling of the respective sample files, is now supported when saving as zip/archive (*.qtz). - Fixed track monitor, record, mute and solo dangling states, on Track/Duplicate command. - Slight regression on the LV2 State Files abstract/relative file-path mapping, trading QFileInfo::canonicalFilePath() for QFileInfo::absoluteFilePath(), and thus skipping all symlink dereferences in the process. - Fixed a one first linking/ref-counting glitch, affecting recently recorded MIDI clips which might have their initial clip length still un-quantized to MIDI resolution (BBT). - A brand new and discrete MIDI clip editor command tool has been added: MIDI Tools/Transpose/Reverse. - Discretely fixed MIDI Controllers catch-up algorithm. - Fixed a borderline mistake on plug-in parameter port index mapping to its corresponding symbolic name, especially if newer plug-in versions are loaded on older saved sessions.

spectmorph-0.3.1

by Stefan Westerfeld

spectmorph-0.3.1 has been released. Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.3.1: ---------------------------------------- * Added plugins for LV2 and VST api. * New instruments: bassoon, cello, bass-trombone, reed-organ. * Added different templates to get standard morph plans quickly. * LV2|VST|JACK will start with default plan now (instead of empty plan). * Standard instrument set location (~/.spectmorph/instruments/standard): - plan templates can refer to instruments in that directory without storing any absolute path (index will be instruments:standard) - in almost any case, loading instruments isn't necessary anymore * Resize MorphPlanWindow automatically if operators are removed. * Changed time alignment during morphing: - morphed sounds should starty at the beginning of the note (no extra latency) - Start marker for instrument notes no longer necessary - SpectMorphDelay plugin no longer necessary * Some improvements for building new instruments: - make some smenc parameters configurable (--config option) - improvements to soundfont import - new fundamental frequency estimation for tune-all-frames - support global volume adjustment (instead of auto-volume) * Various bugfixes. What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. Also interpolating between two samples of the same instrument (different attack velocity of a piano) could be interesting. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3 SpectMorph is still under development. This means: * the fileformat is not yet stable - instruments or morph plans may not work with newer versions of SpectMorph * the algorithms for synthesizing sounds are still under development - newer versions may sound different To sum it up: if you compose music using SpectMorph, don't expect newer versions to be compatible in any way. Integrating SpectMorph into your Work ------------------------------------- In order to make music that contains SpectMorph, you currently need to use Linux. There are four ways of integrating SpectMorph sounds into music you create: - LV2 Plugin, for any sequencer that supports it. - VST Plugin, especially for proprietary solutions that don't support LV2. - JACK Client. - BEAST Module, integrating into BEASTs modular environment. Links: ------ Website: http://www.spectmorph.org Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads/spectmorph-0.3.1.tar.bz2 There are many sound samples on the website, which demonstrate morphing between instruments. -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.7.6 - The Eleventh beta release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again! The 'Vee One Suite' aka. the 'gang of three' old-school homebrew software instruments, respectively synthv1 [1], as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2], a polyphonic sampler synthesizer and drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler, are here released on their eleventh beta iteration, joining the so called Qstuff* End of Summer'16 release frenzy [10]. All 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. The common change-log says: - MIDI RPN/NRPN running status and RPN NULL reset command are now supported (input only). - The core engine implementation is now delivered as a shared object library, common to both the JACK stand-alone client and the LV2 instrument plug-in. - Discretely fixed MIDI Controllers catch-up algorithm.

Re: [LAD] Tascam US-16x08 0644:8047

by OnkelDead

On my UbuntuStudio 16.04 (4.4.0-36-lowlatency) the streaming interfaces (16xin & 8xout) works perfect with the stock driver / JACK. The intention of my custom snd-usb-audio is to offer the build-in DSP features of the US-16x08. So I didn't made changes to the streaming interfaces but added some mixer quirks to the stock driver. Add. I did coded a custom mixer application (QT5) to control the EQ and compressor function via those new mixer interfaces. ranokio wrote > With JAck capture only works fine on Playback only mode, I have 8 > independent neat outputs If you have problems with the streaming interfaces, I guess my driver wont help you. You may investigate the diff-file based on my changes in Ubuntu 16.04 which you'll find here <http://www.paraair.de/snd-usb-audio/us16x08.diff> . Note! Because I'd never investigate Fedora sources, I assume you should NOT apply the patch to your kernel source directly.
