[LAD] Updates of zita-audiotools and zita-jacktools

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, zita-audiotools-1.3.0 and zita-jacktools-1.6.0 are now available at <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html>. If you have previous versions, installing these updates will require some extra work. This is for two reasons: * The python package names have changed: audiotools -> zita_audiotools jacktools -> zita_jacktools * The setup.py files now use setuptools instead of the deprecated distutils, and will install a python 'egg' directory. This requires the following actions: * Before installation, remove all traces of any previous versions from your python site-packages directory. Then just make; sudo make install; sudo make clean. * In existing applications, the import statements must be modified to refer to the new package names. Thanks to Marc Lavallée for both suggesting the name change and testing the new releases. Ciao, -- FA

[LAD] [ANN] Qtractor 0.9.26 - A Spring'22 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Wholly greetings, one third time and finally, Qtractor 0.9.26 (spring'22) released! Change-log:: - Main application icon is now presented in scalable format (SVG). - Have even more tolerance to JACK buffer-size changes, prompting for a complete session reload, only when exceeding the double of the previous/current size. - Added an additional status-bar label to show the session current buffer-size (in frames per period). - Migrated command line parsing to QCommandLineParser/Option (Qt >= 5.2) - Make last recorded clip current and suitable target for immediate loop recording takes switch or navigation. - Number of takes is now shown on clip titles and tooltips. - Fixed in-flight transport mode changes. - Fixed translations path to be relative to application runtime. 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] [ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.25 - A Spring'22 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings again! The 'Vee One Suite' of '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; * padthv1 [4] a polyphonic additive synthesizer. Are now being released as the second batch of the so called 'QStuff*' (northern) Spring'22 season. Still delivered in dual form: - 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]. Change-log of the season: - Added missing file code to desktop exec entry (standalones only). - Main application icon is now presented in scalable format (SVG). - Migrated command line parsing to QCommandLineParser/Option (Qt >= 5.2) - Avoid issuing NSM dirty messages as much as possible. 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 0.9.25 (spring'22) is released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

[LAD] New LV2 plugin: B.Low

by Sven Jaehnichen

Hi, I just released a new plugin. The first one based on the new B.Widgets toolkit. Try out and have fun. B.Low is the unique sample-based sound generator plugin you always waited for. It blows out low sounds from below to spice up your music production with a special flavour. The high quality samples were gratefully provided by numerous international artists. Github: https://github.com/sjaehn/BLow Release: https://github.com/sjaehn/BLow/releases/tag/1.2.0 Regards, Sven
