[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.

B.Angr - New LV2 plugin

by Sven Jaehnichen

Hi, it's easy to make a new plugin within only four days ... ... if you can use something else. Big thanks to Chris "Airwindows" Johnson. B.Angr is a multi-dimensional dynamically distorted staggered multi-bandpass LV2 plugin. But what the hell does this mean? B.Angr basically consists of four parameter instances of Airwindows XRegion. XRegion itself is a distorted multi-bandpass filter plugin. B.Angr fades automatically or manually between the four parameter instances. The result is a dynamic and heavily distorted sound. See the preview video. Github: https://github.com/sjaehn/BAngr/ Releases: https://github.com/sjaehn/BAngr/releases/tag/1.2.0 Preview video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kWy_1UYazo <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kWy_1UYazo>

PSIndustrializer 0.2.7-pre2 released

by Yury Alyaev

Hi all, I have made the second preview of Power Station Industrializer v0.2.7 You can download it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/industrializer/files/ The main new in psindustrializer-0.2.7-pre2 is selectable discretization rate for both playback and WAV export. It also contains some fixes and small improvements. Also, at this stage I announce feature freeze, this means that I won't add new features until 0.2.7 will be released. So I invite everyone to test this pre-release. Industrializer generates synthesized percussion sounds using physical modelling. The range of sounds possible include but is not limited to cymbal sounds, metallic noises, bubbly sounds, and chimes. After a sound is rendered, it can be played and then saved to a .WAV file. Regards, Yury.

Playing FLAC files from Python

by Keith Edmunds

What I'm trying to do: control the playing of flac files from Python, and specifically be able to start playback at some arbitraty point in the file. I'm writing a music player in Python. It's aims differ from the usual music player as this being used to manage the music of an online radio show. The music source files are FLAC. Sometimes I need to be able to start playing the file from, say, 5 seconds in (could be any time). I'm currently using the Python bindings of vlc to manage the playing, but it's very inexact when trying to start at a specific time spot. Has anyone had success in playing flac files via Python, and been able to start playback at some arbitrary point? -- Great music, chat and even some wit. Join me every Friday evening at 8pm for Keith's Music Box: https://www.mixcloud.com/live/KeithsMusicBox/

Geonkick synth development

by Iurie Music

Hi! I am the developer of Geonkick synth. In the last period I was not able to work on this project partly because of some personal issues, and also I have somehow exhausted the ideas which will make a difference, and which will not require radical changes in the design. Due to this if someone is interested in continuing the development, I can move the rights on the project or move under the umbrella of the projects like DISTRHO (if there is any interest), thus, becoming a community developed project. I could just accept contributions but I don't think I'll be able to have time to manage this. Currently I have completely integrated the Redkite GUI into Geonkick code. The VST3 was disabled and not kept up with the development, but there are not many required changes to get it back if someone wants this. Currently I am working slowly on another project, a sampler player that wants to use liquidsfz API as the engine with the idea to offer seasly to use other APIs. I don't know when I'll be able to release the first version for now. Iurie

AES67 Audio over IP and JACK

by Julian Rabius

Dear linux audio developers, I would like to bring the effort of Andrea Bondavalli to your attention, who develops an "AES67-linux-daemon". https://github.com/bondagit/aes67-linux-daemon This builds on the ALSA RAVENNA/AES67 Driver released by merging tchnologies https://bitbucket.org/MergingTechnologies/ravenna-alsa-lkm/src/master/ There was not much activity on mergings repository and mailing list concerning the driver and butler after the initial release, and some elements still seemed to be missing or were kept closed source. Now thanks to A. Bondavallis initiative a fully open source implementation of AES67 on linux, which opens up possibilities for audio-networking with lots of professional grade audio hardware devices and computers running different OS seems to be very close. Unfortunately the developer does not seem to be an active user of the jack ecosystem, nor ardour or other typical software for audio-production on linux. Though with basic alsa tools the AES67-daemon already seems to work flawlessly, I had no success starting jack or ardour on top of it. There was some discussion on this topic in the following thread, but to my impression more research into compatibility with jack, ardour etc. would be necessary. https://github.com/bondagit/aes67-linux-daemon/issues/38 Sadly I have not the programming skills to contribute to development directly, but I would be glad to help with testing different configurations, already running an AES67 network including a merging hapi, a dante device with AES67 capability and windows machines running MAD (merging audio device), the ravenna network manager ANEMAN and Dante Controller. I would really like to expand this setup to my main linux DAW and make it the centerpiece of the audio network. Kind regards Julian Rabius
