[LAD] [ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.13 - A QStuff* Spring'20 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings once more, The 'Vee One Suite' of so called 'old-school' software instruments, synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are all being released now for the second 'QStuff*' Spring'20 batch of the (quarantine) season. All still available in dual form deliveries: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Not much of a ravishing change-log, just on the brink of utterly boring maintenance stuff: - Always keep the current sample loop-cycle on note-off, while entering a DCA Release stage. (applies to samplv1 [2] only) - Maximum pitch-bend range has been expanded to 0..400%, allegedly to support some PME driven instruments. - Make man page compression reproducible (after request by Jelle van der Waa, thanks). - Fixed crash when showing the tooltip of a negative note number that results from dragging over and beyond the left edge of the virtual piano keyboard. - Remove -v (verbose) flag from 'strip' post-link command. - Fixed CMake build by adding missing Custom Color Theme (palette) form file (.ui). - Bumped copyright headers into the New Year (2020). The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later. **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.13 (spring'20) released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

[LAD] A short technote on digital state-variable filters

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, Some people have asked me to provide a bit more documentation on the state-variable filters I used in zita-eq1 and zita-jacktools. So I've written a short technical note on this. You can find it at <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/papers/digsvfilt.pdf> Ciao, -- FA

[LAD] update of libzita-resampler

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, Release 1.8.0 of the zita-resampler library is now available at <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads> * Both the Resampler and VResampler classes can now be compiled to use SSE2 intrinsics. This at least doubles the speed, and is enabled in the supplied Makefile. * Some new documented test programs, also showing how to use the two classes. * Some (minor) bugfixes. This should be a drop-in replacement for 1.6.2, which will remain available for some time in case there are any problems. Enjoy, and best wishes for the next solar orbit ! -- FA

[LAD] A question to plugin host devs

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, I wonder what are the pros and cons of using RTLD_NODELETE as a flag to dlopen() and call dlclose () as soon as the required symbols are loaded. The alternative is to leave all shared object handles open until the host terminates. What are you doing in your plugin host (and why) ? TIA, -- FA

[LAD] [ANN] Qtractor 0.9.19 - QStuff* Winter'20 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Season greetings, a third and last time, Qtractor 0.9.19 (winter'20) is released! Change-log: - Session directory auto-name option added to the session properties dialog, as convenience. - Loading and saving a LV2 plugin's state has been vastly improved. IMPORTANT CAVEAT: From this moment onwards, when loading any newer saved sessions into older versions of the program, all LV2 plugins won't get their state restored correctly. - Track colors saturation introduced as yet another eye-candy option (cf. View/Options.../Display/Track color saturation) - Fixed VST3 number of channels query/report. - Fixed immediate crash when loading untitled or unnamed Instrument Definitions files (*.ins): base file-name is now taken as default instrument definition name or title. - Tempo (BPM) entry may now be specified with arbitrary precision, to at most 3 decimal positions in fractional part, while integer whole values are displayed with no decimal point. - Added option to keep MIDI clip editor windows (aka. piano-roll) always on top of the main window (cf. View/Options.../General/Keep editor windows always on top). - MIDI clip editor status-bar labels are not stretched to whole text size anymore, most specially for the current file complete path. Description: 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.

[LAD] [LAA] Guitarix2 release version 0.42.0

by Hermann Meyer

I'm pleased to announce the release of guitarix2-0.42.0 A virtual guitar amplifier for Linux running with jack (Jack Audio Connection Kit) released under the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ZamAudio <https://github.com/zamaudio> meets Guitarix https://github.com/zamaudio For this release Damien Zammit from ZamAudio has reworked our tube emulation. This improved beside the overall sound, the dynamic responses of the different tube simulations. Be aware please, that this may break your existing presets, but, we believe that the improvement in sound is it worse to force you to readjust your presets to match the new tube sims. Further news are: Reworked French translation by Olivier Humbert Add DC-Blocker on the Input Add Output Limiter Add Volume controls for the Power Amp plugin Fix version checks for needed packages Fix several small Bugs and hopefully don't introduce to much new ones Last release: https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix/releases/tag/V0.42.0 Project Page on github: https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix Project Page on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/

[LAD] [ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.19 - QStuff* Winter'20 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Season greetings, one second time! Once more, the 'Vee One Suite' of so called 'old-school' software instruments, synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are here released for the (Northern) Winter'20 season... All still delivered in the two traditional forms: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non/New Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Changes for this special season release are as follows: - Better handling of the offset and loop ranges when in presence of very long sample files (applies to samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). - Fixed display of old knob/dial values on status-bar. - Reduced formant filter coefficient slew rate, aiming to a tenfold DSP performance gain. - Get a chance on bringing Wayland into the picture when dealing Qt static-linked deliverables. The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later.
