14-bit CC / (N)RPN midi controllers question

by Tim E. Real

Lacking access to the full midi specs document, I don't know if this question is addressed. I've looked at manuals for products which support them and searched the web but I don't see a clear answer to my question: Is it safe to assume that a product or app which allows binding a *single* HW or GUI control to either 14-bit CC or 14-bit (N)RPN, would *always* send the value LSB, even if the LSB did not change but the MSB did, when the control moves? Do the midi specs address this? Or do you know of examples of such LSB optimizing-out? Thanks. Tim.

Laborejo Release version 0.8 (More of the same - Only better)

by Nils Gey

Laborejo 0.8 is released We are still in Beta. Streamlining, fixing and making things more robust is the main feature. However, there are a few new features: - Swing for Playback mode. In the Performance Signature. - More preview and export options, especially for Lilypond - Jack Transport start and stop sync. (Update calfbox as well!) - "Did you know" help screen and splash dialog (optional) There is a 0.85 release planned which will deal with making containers, selections and undo work together properly and implementing the last small features on my todo-list. After 0.85 the plan is to work on speeding up the performance and writing documentation and translations. And the usual bugfixes of course. This will transition smoothly into a stable 1.0 release Since Laborejo now becomes more useful and usable with each release it became fair to accept donations. There is now an extra donation page on the website. Please have a look. Your support would be much appreciated: http://laborejo.org/Donation Latest Screenshot: http://www.laborejo.org/latestscreenshot.png Download Page: http://laborejo.org/Download Greetings, Nils Gey Contact: http://laborejo.org/Support_and_Community

by Rui Nuno Capela

As an anticipated summer delight... Qtractor 0.5.9 (juliet quebec) is now released! Release highlights: * NSM support (NEW) * Audio buses plugin state restoration (FIX) * MIDI channel file merge/export (FIX) * MIDI editor rescale mode (NEW) * German translation (NEW) Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor/files - source tarball: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.9.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 12.3): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.9-6.rncbc.suse123.sr… - binary packages (openSUSE 12.3): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.9-6.rncbc.suse123.i5… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.9-6.rncbc.suse123.x8… - quick start guide & user manual: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.x-user-manual.pdf Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Auto-incremental version numbering of backup session files; brand new versioning mode option added. - Fixed one long as ever MIDI file export bug, which was about washing all self-induced MIDI bank-select (CC#0, CC#32) and program-change (PC#) events into MIDI channel 1, regardless of the source track/channel. - Fixed initial sample-rate settlement on plugin chains for all tracks and buses whenever a session file original sample-rate differs from the current audio device engine (ie. JACK). - New German (de) translation added (by Guido Scholz, thanks). - Now accepting JACK transport tempo and time-tignature changes while in slave transport mode. - Fix ref-count and auto-removal of created files that result from clip merge/export when session is closed but not saved. - MIDI track instrument bank/program selection, from plugin UIs that support it, is now effectively and complete. - Custom connections for dedicated audio outputs from all plugin chains in MIDI tracks or buses are back in business, hopefully restored gain on session load (ticket by yuba, thanks). - Track Properties dialog now dirty after any plugin related change (another head-up by yuba, thanks again). - Tempo Map/Markers dialog is not set initially dirty anymore. - Audio buses plugin state's persistence were found AWOL: while being properly saved as usual, were being restored to default on every session reload (as noticed by yuba, thanks). - NSM (Non Session Management) support is being introduced. - The MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) gets a brand new rescale mode: ctrl+dragging the right edge of a note now rescales all times and duration of all the subsequent selected notes (after an interesting idea/ticket by Joel Leclerc, thanks). - The new MIDI clip editor rescale mode also applicable to event values (eg. note velocities, pitch-bend), while ctrl+dragging the edges of an event vertical bar. - VST plugin (GUI) idle timer makes a comeback. - Hard-wired LV2 UI selection order for plugins which supply more than one option (lv2_external_ui gets always honored first then, as provided via libsuil, X11, GTK and last but not least, Qt4).

Xiph.org - Video:Digital Show and Tell - No difference between analog and digitally processed sound.

by Barney Holmes

Thought the list would find this valuable. http://wiki.xiph.org/Videos/Digital_Show_and_Tell I was under the impression that there was some fundamental difference between the sound of analog and digital audio. But Monty Montgomery of Xiph.org completely annihilates this misconception with some clever use of analog sound reference equipment fed through a digital process and then out to an analog oscilloscope, vs. feeding direct from analog to the oscilloscope. The results are identical. I think Xiph have done the open source music community quite a service here because it completely trumps, in my opinion, the perception that electronic music put through a digital process is somehow "inferior" to analog music. ~~~ Home site - http://djbarney.org

by Robin Gareus

Hi all, Just a quick head's up: linuxaudio.org and linuxmusicians.com have joined forces.

Your efforts are very much appreciated. There are still a few open ToDo items to be sorted out. In case you would like to help, please see http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/migrationprogress Cheers! robin

[ann] liblo 0.27 released

by Stephen Sinclair

We are pleased to present stable release 0.27 of LibLo, the lightweight, easy to use implementation of the Open Sound Control protocol. Open Sound Control (OSC) is a protocol for communication among computers, sound synthesizers, and other multimedia devices that is designed for use over modern network transports. This is the first release in quite some time, and includes several major features and improvements since the 0.26 release, particularly related to bundles, multicast, and TCP support. Features include: - Support for sending and receiving nested bundles, including ref-counted memory handling for bundled messages. - Support for multicast in oscdump and oscsend tools. - Callbacks for bundle handling. - Select desired network interface for multicast. - Fix blocking semantics of lo_server_wait() / lo_server_recv(). - Make inclusion of threading-related code optional. - Basic compilation script for Android. - Allow to optionally disable server dispatch queueing at runtime. (In this case messages are dispatched immediately even if they are timestamped for later.) - Support bidirectional use of TCP ports using lo_send_from(). - Add SLIP protocol support for packetization when sending and receiving with TCP. - Allow to enable the TCP_NODELAY flag on TCP sockets. - Support for specifying server parameters via URL string, and also support for URL strings in the oscsend and oscdump tools. - As a result of the above, support for TCP and Unix sockets in the oscsend and oscdump tools. Bug fixes include: - Fixed timestamp serialization. - Fixed blob padding and char-type padding. - Close sockets properly under Windows. - Fix multicast under Windows. - Fix TCP reception blocking behaviour, such that a message can span multiple calls to recv(). - Correct printing of blob bytes. - Only call getnameinfo() when requested. This release contains contributions by: - Camille Troillard - Hanspeter Portner - Jamie Bullock - Joseph Malloch - Pete Goodeve - rjvbertin - Mok Keith - David Robillard - John McFerran - Artem Baguinski - William Light Please download it at SourceForge: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/liblo/liblo-0.27.tar.gz Or read the online documentation: http://liblo.sourceforge.net The git repository can be found at the following mirrors: - git://liblo.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/liblo/liblo - git://gitorious.org/liblo/mainline.git - https://github.com/radarsat1/liblo.git
