List on emergency moderation

by David Runge

Dear all, The list is now on moderation. It is clear at this point, that the topic completely derailed. In case you would like to continue the purpose of this list and discuss actual development topics, you are of course free to do so. To anyone still wanting to pursue down the road of allegations purely based on conjecture, conspiracy theories, untenable diffamation and personal attacks: do everyone a favor and unsubscribe. This behavior is not welcomed here. Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de

LV2 X11 GUI generator/designer tool

by Hermann Meyer

Hi I'm currently working on a X11 based GUI generator/designer tool to make LV2 GUI development a bit easier. Current state is pre-alpha. The tool is able to scan ttl files and create the needed control widgets for a plugin, the widgets could be moved around, ordered in frames and/or replaced by other control widgets (replace knob with slider etc.) It's as well possible to just create a GUI without parsing a ttl, set the controls, ranges, labels, etc. It' inspired by Glade (which we heavily used in guitarix), but the generated output file is a plain C file. The resulting GUI could already be used (a small makefile will be generated together with the gui definition C file so the GUI library could be build) Currently only libxputty (by a included wrapper file) is supported to act as back-end library for the generated file, but that is just a question of writing wrappers for other widget toolkits. As mentioned above, this is pre-alpha, so no release jet, but the issue tracker is open for comments and suggestions, as for bug reports. If you like to give it a go, here it is: https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner regards hermann

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.20 - QStuff* Winter'21 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello 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 and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are here and again released as the second batch to the so called 'QStuff*' (boreal) Winter'21 release season. All delivered in the two usual 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 release are just a few: - When under under the NSM auspices, fix SIGTERM handler on exit and just hide the main-window on close (applies to the JACK stand-alone only). - Fixed sample loop when the DCA EG is off or disabled (applies to samplv1 [2] only). 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. And here they are again... **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.20 (winter'21) is out! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

Clarifications and background information

by Filipe Coelho

Hi. I want to clear up some recent accusations towards me and give some background information. Since Jonathan is temporarily banned from the list, I will do my best to avoid personal opinions or thoughts, and just write down facts and history. I already wrote some of this in another mailing list [1] but not everyone is aware of it, so a few things are repeated here. 1. I "declined to answer" inquiries because I had mail filters setup so that I would not receive more unsolicited and undesired emails (they often contain verbal abuse). On occasion there were multiple per day, and not just to me. 2. Taking "control of basically all the important projects and channels of communication in Linux Audio" is a long stretch, depends on what one finds important. On JACK, some years ago Paul Davis publicly said he wanted to stop maintaining JACK1. [2] I volunteered to help maintain the code, in the case someone would take care of other non-coding parts. [3] Some discussion happened on that email thread, but there was no one else that stepped up and said they wanted to maintain it. A few months after this I met Paul in person while he was traveling across Europe, we briefly discussed the JACK1 situation, and I mentioned again that I would be okay with taking maintenance of JACK1, assuming it would be for bug-fixes only. JACK2 was a tricky situation. Nedko basically stopped doing any linux audio development [4][5], and Stephane was too busy to keep attention to JACK2. At the time (around 2017) I had already studied the code quite a bit because the company I was working for (MOD Devices) used it as its audio engine. So there was commercial interest on keeping JACK2 alive and working well. It was actually other people (like Bart Brouns aka magnetophon on this list) that suggested me to talk to Stephane to give JACK2 to me, as they were hungry for new releases but everything was just stale. [6] So basically taking over JACK was a result of no one else stepping up for the job. Kjetil Matheussen has offered to take care of the Windows side of things for JACK2, but I disagree with his ideas on how JACK should be handled on Windows [7], so this is purely technical. I "took over" other things because I package a few applications for the KXStudio repositories[8], so I have an interest to keep them running. This has happened with dssi-vst [9] (which I gave up on due to DSSI limitations and working Carla bridges[10]) and WineASIO [11]. There are other projects where the author did not respond to a pull-request, so I ended up maintaining a sorta fork/PR. For example https://github.com/nicklan/drmr/pull/12 and https://github.com/falkTX/protrekkr/. This is nothing new, other distribution packagers often do the same where they have interest on keeping an application working, so they patch the sources to make it build and run again, in a way creating a fork. For example, https://github.com/surfacepatterns/synthclone/pull/24 All of this happens when someone is active after many years. So your name starts to appear in things like Calf[12][13], ZynAddSubFX[14], qjackctl[15], LMMS[16], Surge[17], etc. This is the result/effect, not the cause. The same thing that happens here, happens in communication channels too. So eventually due to current maintainers either getting tired or simply not wanting the role anymore, they give up and pass the torch to someone else. It is whoever it is currently active and trusted by the community in question that ends up with these "positions". That way I am a moderator of the #lad and #jack IRC freenode channels. But I have no role on the mailing lists since I am not active there. There is no hidden "agenda" here, it is purely out of wanting to do something useful, that will benefit people and is generally appreciated. 3. The situation regarding the fork of NSM is best described by Nils here https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=21772&p=121745#p121745 I am not involved with the fork in any kind of leader position, Nils is pretty much the one in charge at this point[18]. I gave my approval and suggested many possible names, also said I would help with porting the original NTK GUI to pure FLTK. This fork came to existence after many years of failed attempts at working together with Jonathan in the official NSM (Unfortunately I can't give references here because most of the discussions happened on github tickets or pull requests and the issue tracker is now switched off and many comments on pull requests have been deleted). This was especially frustrating for Nils (as you can read on the linuxmusicians.com link above) as he was quite actively trying to make things work. Everything escalated when RaySession[19] was added to Ubuntu, which brought more attention to it. Specially because back then, it reused the NSM protocol but in a way that not strictly compatible with the original.[20] The incompatibilities (in client behaviour) have been fixed or at least improved since then, after Nils and Mathieu Picot (aka Houston4444, RaySession author) spoke with each other. (as told me by Nils) Worth noting perhaps is that up the to announcement of new-session-manager, NON had not seen a release for some years.[21][22] RaySession being promoted as the session manager to use in Ubuntu worried the few of us (me, Nils and a few others) that wanted to see the original NSM succeed. We already had history with Jonathan; when we tried to do a few things that were useful to us but not within his design, sometimes even minor things like allowing to use 64x64 icons or having an option to export the whole session as a tar file, we were met with insults. (these discussions happened on the NON issue tracker which is now switched off) We made a final attempt to get along and see what was the result, but that did not turn out well.[23] So Nils took the lead on a fork[24], with support and approval of me, David Runge and a few others.[25] 4. In regards to the name, there was a discussion for several days if a new name should be picked or whether to stick with the original. Since the intention is/was not to break the protocol (as noted in "Stay upwards and downwards compatible with original nsmd" in new-session-manager README bullet points), it would make sense to keep the NSM acronym as to not confuse users. The idea being that you could use NON NSM or "new" NSM and everything works the same as far as client applications are concerned. Whether it was a good idea to name it "New Session Manager" is up to interpretation. 5. The 1st public new-session-manager release announcement[24] did not mention Jonathan's name. This was an oversight, and we apologize for that. No other name was mentioned (even Nils or me) except as e-mail signature. Then and now Jonathan's name is in fact the only name in the new-session-manager README. We realize now that this README didn't have the best wording when describing the project, why it exists, etc. The "linuxaudio.org presents" in the header is not well placed there either, and won't be present in future release announcements. This is not a justification, but if I recall correctly, as a group we were tired of the entire situation and drama and just wanted to see a release out of the door so we could go on to focus on more helpful, productive things. In retrospect, the initial release was rushed to fit into the "Quarter release pact"[25] schedule, and this should have been planned more carefully. I personally apologize for the way the release announcement was worded. I didn't write it myself but I reviewed it. Might also be worth mentioning that we (me, Nils and David) are not native English speakers. Apologies as well for the whole noise.

READ THIS IF YOU CARE ABOUT FREEDOM! Fwd: [LAA] Non DAW release including Non Session Manager (i.e. the real NSM)

by J. Liles

The following message was sent to the LAA list, as usual for release announcements. The anonymous person behind the LAA mail list admin refuses to comment on his identity. Coincidentally, Filipe Ceolho also declined to answer my direct inquiry as to whether he has also assumed control of LAA as he has so many other channels. The same Filipe Coelho who has taken it upon himself to take control of basically all the important projects and channels of communication in Linux Audio. For totally benevolent reasons, I'm sure (well, except for all the slander, deception, hostile takeovers, etc.) Of course, you will have noticed that the message never appeared there. That is, of course, assuming that this one is by some miracle or oversight allowed to pass the censor. Even if you don't care about Non, you should care about this, as it affects your freedom of speech as well as mine. The Free Software movement that I joined was about Freedom foremost, and software merely being a mode or expression of that freedom, and I suspect the same is true of many for many of you. Read this and judge for yourself whether Filipe and his comrades are acting in good faith. For obvious reasons, even if you are able to read this, this may be the last time you are able to hear from me or anyone like me. For the time being, I still have access to the Non project website and mailing list and I encourage anyone interested in future updates to sign up there. (If you are reading this message as a cross post on a list where it's off topic, I apologize and ask that you kindly excuse the intrusion---necessary under the unfortunate circumstances.) ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: J. Liles <malnourite(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jan 27, 2021 at 6:18 PM Subject: [LAA] Non DAW release including Non Session Manager (i.e. the real NSM) To: <linux-audio-announce(a)lists.linuxaudio.org> Cc: lad <linux-audio-dev(a)lists.linuxaudio.org> **** Project URL: https://non.tuxfamily.org **** Greetings, developers and users of Linux Audio of the old dispensation. This message is to announce a new release of the Non suite containing many changes, mostly fixes for rare bugs and theme improvements. The release has come a bit sooner than I had planned due to changing circumstances (I was undeceived regarding the possibility of there being some patches forthcoming). Just a friendly reminder, NSM stands for Non Session Manager. I am the author, inventor, developer, and maintainer of NSM (Hi there NSM fans!) There has been a lot of misleading information published about NSM lately, and I don't want anyone to be deceived by it. Some matters of note: due to frequent and continued abuse and harassment, the GitHub issue tracker has been disabled. In light of this, there is a new policy for bug reports/feature requests which has been posted to the Non mailing list. The aforementioned harassment has got me thinking about my long history in Linux Audio, in a community that I once felt very much a part of. I feel that there has been a sea change and the old guard is less involved than they used to be (myself included) and the new dispensation is a rather nasty and unfavorable one. I'm sure there are many depressing reasons for this which I need not go into as they extend far beyond the context of Linux Audio. Anyway, after reflecting on how I was presently being treated, it occurred to me that it's unlikely that I'm the only one, so I want to take a moment to offer my thanks and pay my respects to the great men of Linux Audio. To Fons Adriaensen: your work, particularly your LADSPA plugins and Ambisonics tools has enabled and inspired my own work. The neatness and low dependency count of your code is something we should all aspire to. Your sage advice has always been helpful and instructive.There is much I couldn't have done without you. Thank you. To Paul Davis: By inventing JACK, you enabled not only me, but a whole community/generation of developers to think in terms of cooperation and interoperability rather than monolithism, competition, and lock-in. Even though you may have lost interest in JACK yourself, I will always be grateful for your contribution, no matter how badly JACK is defaced by its present maintainers or undermined by those who desire to take from you that seat of honor. Thank you. To Dave Griffiths: Your unrestrained creativity and originality have been truly inspiring to me, and your SpiralSynthModular and Pawfaliki software have been directly useful to me. Nobody may have noticed, but both the Non website and my personal blog run on heavily modified versions of Pawfaliki. Your work deserves much more attention than it gets. Thank you. To Paul Nasca: ZynAddSubFX has been a near constant companion to me throughout my time in Linux Audio. It is truly a masterpiece, and exemplifies the same set of standards that I have tried to adhere to in my own projects (fast, light, powerful). Thank you. To J.P Mercury: Freewheeling was a stroke of brilliance and I'm sure I only scratched the surface of what it could do. You are an inspiration. Thank you. To Mark McCurry: You have been an excellent and upstanding maintainer of ZynAddSubFX and truly improved it over the years. Your dedication to tooling and automation is exemplary---I don't know how you find the time to work on the tooling so much and still make progress on the project itself. I have very much enjoyed our conversations and have felt privileged to be a contributor to ZynAddSubFX. I am also grateful to you for your contributions to Non, chiefly the plugin frequency response visualizer, which is a constant help to me in my work. You have pushed the technology forward with RtOSC, and I hope to someday integrate that stack into Non's OSC::Signal framework. What's more you've been a friend, and friendly people are so very hard to find in this world. Thank you. To Harry van Harren: It was a great pleasure to provide to you whatever mentorship that I could. Your youthful exuberance has always been an inspiration to me. I was very pleased that you took some of the ideas from FLTK/Non to heart and decided to take the path less travelled in your projects rather than, as far more commonly happens, taking the easy way out. I look forward to seeing more great accomplishments from you in the future. Thanks also goes out to Rui Capela, David Robillard, Nedko Arnaudov, Bill Spitzak, Shawn Betts, all the authors of the precious LADSPA plugins that are RT-safe and don't just blast and crash. While I may have had disagreements with some of these men over technical or philosophical matters, I have always respected them and their work and appreciated the fact that we could disagree on some things, agree on others, and still get the work done. I'm afraid that this level of maturity now exists only in a culture past. I'm sure there are some who were left out of this list unintentionally, and if so I apologize for that oversight. Others were left out intentionally and I'm sure they will know who they are and why they don't deserve to be included in a list of honorable men. On that note, despite the slanderous statements made recently by a certain gang of thugs regarding NSM, I would like to formally clarify, since they flatly refuse to do so, and state that NSM (nor any of my software) has never contained ads or spyware, that it is indeed and has always been Free Software, and that this gang, who purport to represent this community, never offered to contribute to NSM or participate in its development. The leader of this gang, Filipe Coelho, has abused his position as a distro maintainer to attempt to take over development of NSM and other projects which represent critical subsystems in Linux Audio. This is quite obviously bad news for the community (as all power/control is being concentrated in the hands of obvious bad-actors). Who knows what will come of this, but I doubt it will be good. For myself, this event together with the campaign of harassment and abuse has put me in a position of being very reluctant to publish my continuing development or to begin any new free-software projects (for which I have many, many ideas), knowing, as I now know, that the consequences for me will be wholly negative. I hope this hasn't also been the experience of all of the other developers that I mentioned. I know at least one of them has been compensated well for his work, but I'm sure he had to put up with plenty of abuse too. The others, I fear, have probably, like myself, been repaid primarily with abuse. I worry about us as a community and us as a culture when I see that we act to stamp out creativity, invention, standards of quality, etc. To the people who stand by and say nothing while this happens: what kind of future will you have to look forward to? Linux Audio is already a shrinking niche. We need more creativity and invention, not less. If you keep punishing and abusing people for dedicating their lives to giving you free stuff, then wherever are you going to get more free stuff? I implore everyone to consider the effects of their inactions as well as their actions, not only in this context but in life in general. And a special message to Filipe Coelho, who has a made it something of a personal mission to defame me and my work (and probably the work of others I'm unaware of): I forgive you. I forgive you for slandering me and my project. I forgive you for making unreasonable demands of me. I forgive you for not contributing code or documentation. I forgive you for harassing me and encouraging others to do the same. I forgive you for never having created anything that was useful to me, as I have clearly done repeatedly for you. I forgive you for violating my friendship. I forgive you for deceiving the LA community. I forgive you for creating disruption, schism, and incompatibility in a sphere where there was before (finally!) only harmony and unity. I sincerely hope that you can one day find some source of joy in your life that does not involve harming others, maybe even an original project of your own---something that you could really take pride in. My thanks goes to Olivier Humbert and John Rigg who were the two people besides myself who contributed code for this release. And to anyone who was thinking of submitting a patch to my project or anyone else's, or who was thinking of donating, or just saying "thanks," what are you waiting for? None of us lives forever, you know. For every one "thank you" email this developer gets, he gets at least a hundred insults. I have no idea whether or not that's a typical figure, but it's probably in the same order of magnitude. ************************** A brief interlude for the Parable of the Free Software Developer and the Imposing Stranger (may the developers who read this know that they are not alone in their trials, and may the users who read this take a brief stroll in a developer's shoes). ************************** A man builds a lodging house from the ground up with his own two hands. One evening he is sitting in the house, in front of the fireplace, enjoying the fruits of his labor, wondering if it was all worthwhile---worth the broken leg, the battered thumb, the lost comfort of the wife that left him---, when a stranger bursts through the front door without knocking, bringing into the room with him a small flurry of snowflakes. "Hello?" the man says. "There should be a window here," says the stranger, pointing at the space above the fireplace. The man is too baffled by this statement to ask the stranger why he has barged into his house. "But that's where the chimney is. I can't put a window there." "You refuse to put in a window? A very impudent fellow you are. I've seen houses that had a window just there. It was a mansion in the hills, designed by an exceedingly famous and eccentric architect, and was built by a crew of a hundred men in 20 days. If they could do it so can you." "I built this house myself, with my own two hands, and it took me 20 years. The best years of my life, they were---my very youth was spent on this house. I put everything in its right place, including that chimney and every brick in it! I like to sit here in front of the fire and warm my tired old bones which still ache from my labors." "Nevertheless, it would be better with a window there." "But I explained to you, the chimney must go there. You can't have a fireplace without a chimney; there would be nowhere for the smoke to escape." "That isn't my concern. Don't be difficult. A house simply isn't worthwhile without a window over the fireplace. Why, I once saw a mansion that---" "---excuse me, but do these mansions have to do with me and my humble lodging house? I don't need a window there and none of my guests have ever needed one either. Furthermore, those mendicants over there stitching up their robes were very grateful for this fire and that hall to sleep in." "I say! Won't you just make me a window?" "By God! It's the dead of winter! Who needs a window now? And why should I make a window for you in my own house? You, who neither offer to help nor to pay for the work, and when there are other things in need of attention like that spongy board in the floor over which you're standing, or that drip in the corner of the loft whenever there is a heavy rain?" "Because, old man, I am the one who wants, and you are the one who provides. This shabby little house that you built was meant to be a delight for me---for my pleasure and enjoyment---, but I find it to be a very shabby house indeed. That hideous chimney will surely have to go. The window is only the beginning. I have many grand ideas for improvements. Wheels on the eaves, a skating rink in the kitchen, a king sized bed on the rooftop! I'm full of brilliant ideas. Why I've just had another one: we'll turn the bathtub into one of those little pissing imp fountains! What jolly fun! I've traveled the world and seen many wondrous mansions built by eccentric and famous architects. So surely I must know what is good and what isn't." "And have you ever built a house yourself?" "Why no." "And have you ever seen a house being built?" "Of course not, you old dolt!" "Then what expertise do you have regarding the way that a house should be made?" "Expertise is for doers like you. Doing is beneath me. I entertain myself with the works of lesser beings. I'm an idea man, you see. Ideas come to men like me, brilliant, inspired ideas, but not to men such as yourself. An idea man doesn't trouble himself with petty questions of how or why. He can't slow down, he's got too many grand ideas for that! Now either you get to work, old man, or I'm going to tell the whole world what a difficult little personality you have! I'll tell them you violated the Code of Conduct (signed by yours truly, natch). The Community owns this building, you are merely our free labor. We owned it from the moment you opened the door, out of your pathetic 'kindness' and 'goodwill' and let someone sleep here for free. I saw the shingle on the door, with the silhouette of the Holy Beast of the Resplendent Horns. This place is Community property, mister. So what's it going to be? Will you make for me my pleasure window?" "I will not. It doesn't make sense. Everyone would freeze to death without the fireplace and that chimney. What good is a house with a pleasure window to a dead man? Nothing you say makes sense. It's as though you're living in a dream, with no concept of the forethought and effort that goes into such things as building houses. I know the community. I feed the community. I shelter the community. I've never turned away a man in need. And I've never seen your face before today, Sir." "Difficult! Hard to work with! Totally unreasonable! I say! I'm telling on you! You should have known what to expect when you built this house and when you hung that shingle by the door pledging with a sacred oath that you would accept all comers. By denying me my exalted whims you have spurned me, old man, and for that you will be cursed. The ruling is forthcoming. You shall rue this day!" (This scene repeats the next night with a different imposing stranger---sometimes alone and sometimes together in gangs---, and the night after that, and forever thereafter, until the old man dies.) ______________ When you look into your heart, which character in this story are you? The old man who built the house? A kind young man who offers to help him fix the leaky roof or to build a gazebo (these being too few and far between to have appeared on this night)? The person who merely accepts the kindness of a free meal and a warm bed without complaint? One of the priests of the Order of the Holy Beast of the Resplendent Horns? Or are you the imposing stranger whose existence consists of delighting in the creations (and suffering) of others, whom he considers beneath him? Of course, as complex as human existence is, one might play each of these roles in turn in life, or several simultaneously. The important thing is to know what you're doing in the moment, and ask yourself, will this bring peace and happiness, or will this bring grief and suffering? ************************** Shortlog for this release ************************** Jonathan Moore Liles (94): nonlib/OSC: Don't try to send feedback to non-existent path.
