[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.

Headless mix line in + Bluetooth

by LuKaRo

Hi everyone, my grandmother needs headphones to watch TV, but wearing them causes her to miss all the conversation around her. Hearing aids that allow both TV and microphone input are around 2.5k€. As I'm quite firm with Linux, and have conducted several Raspberry Pi projects, I wondered if it was possible to find a DIY solution for this. I thought of using regular Bluetooth headphones with an integrated microphone, and a Raspberry Pi that gets fed the TV audio. Now it should be possible to receive both the microphone audio from the headphones via Bluetooth and the TV audio via line in, mix both at a custom ratio, and send it back to the Bluetooth headphones. I know that it's possible to achieve such a setup using e.g. ardour and JACK, but I'm looking for an automated solution (e.g. write a script / small application that launches at boot time for setting up the audio devices). So how can I configure the mixing using only the command line or a custom Python/C/whatever application that uses some libraries? What's the best software stack to aim for? PulseAudio? JACK? Latency shouldn't be too much of an issue, as my grandmother probably isn't able to perceive lip sync anymore anyways, but of course it would be great to aim for the least delay possible. I'd love to hear some tips and pointers on how to approach this project. Thanks a lot in advance! Cheers, LuKaRo

XUiDesigner -> create LV2 plugs from scratch

by Hermann Meyer

Hi I've done some work on my XUiDesigner project, and it is now able to generate a working LV2 plugin. Still I would count it in a pre-alpha state, but, hey, it works. The project settings window allow to setup the specs (like Author name, URI, Audio/Midi ports, etc.) for your plugin The saved bundle contain a working LV2 plugin with all needed resources (ttl files, converted C files from used images, etc.) to build, install and run it. All you need to do to finish your plug is, implement your DSP part. https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner regards hermann

Jack Transport: What happens when it reaches the end?

by Tim E. Real

Hi list. Been curious about this question for some time but have not had time to rig a test for it. If Jack Transport is rolling, at a frame near the end of its 32-bit unsigned limit, what happens when it reaches the end? Does it roll over and continue from zero frame? Or does it stop? Tim.

[LV2] Feature request: icons

by Sven Jaehnichen

Hi, there was a feature request and a short discussion about plugin icons this weekend on IRC. And I like the idea. Many LV2 plugins have their own logos (Helm, Vital, Surge, Drops, Wolfshaper, Geonkick, Dragonfly, ...). But they only use these logos internally within the plugin. Hosts fully ignore these logos at this moment. No surprise, there is no standard. OK, LMMS uses plugin icons. But only for their own LMMS-specific factory plugins. In general logos may provide a benefit for users to more easily find the plugin the user looked for. My first idea was: you can do everything with an extension. But this would be misleading. It would be a technical overkill to provide a whole C interface as falkTX responded. And showing an icon would require plugin instantiation. Fully incompatible with listing plugins. The most simple but also misleading way for a host would be to show an icon file (.ico?, .xpm?, .png?, .svg?) found in the plugin directory. But this would end up in rubbish in many cases. Think about textures or dial images which are often stored in the plugin directory. It would be nice to have a property like lv2:icon <logo.png> or something like this. But what about to provide an icon in different sizes / resolutions? Any ideas? Any (other) solutions? And don't forget. It only makes sense if the hosts will provide this feature. Host developers, what do you think about it? Regards, Sven

Inspired by multimidicast [15] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI [15] for Windows. QmidiCtl [5] was long ago designed for the Maemo [17] enabled handheld devices, namely the late Nokia N900 [18] and promoted to the Maemo Package [18] repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [5] may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android application as well.
