Release: New Session Manager Version 1.4.0

by software＠linuxaudio.org

Linuxaudio.org presents: New Session Manager Version 1.4.0 ## Summary The theme for this release is to fix known bugs and issues with both the original Non-Session-Manager ("nsmd") server as well as its GUI (our "nsm-legacy-gui"). Problems and inconsistencies that have piled up for years were finally cleaned up (full changelog below). Users do not need to take any action (besides updating), the session save-format remains unchanged. Client programs, or rather their developers, do not need to change or adjust anything; all changes are "under the hood". We have no self-hosted website yet, but plan to establish one in the future. Until then the project can be found on Github: https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager/ https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager/releases/tag/v1.4.0 ## Full Release Announcement: New Session Manager (NSM) is a tool to assist music production by grouping standalone programs into sessions. Your workflow becomes easy to manage, robust and fast by leveraging the full potential of cooperative applications. It is a community version of the "NON Session Manager" and free in every sense of the word: free of cost, free to share and use, free of spyware or ads, free-and-open-source. You can create a session, or project, add programs to it and then use commands to save, start/stop, hide/show all programs at once, or individually. At a later date you can then re-open the session and continue where you left off. All files belonging to the session will be saved in the same directory. Check your distributions in a few days for New-Session-Manager 1.4.0 You can find the source release on Github: https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager/releases/tag/v1.4.0 Bullet Points * Drop-In replacement for the non-session-manager daemon nsmd and tools (e.g. jackpatch) * Simple and hassle-free build system to make packaging easy * Possibility to react to sensible bug fixes that would not have been integrated into original nsmd * Stay upwards and downwards compatible with original nsmd * Conservative and hesitant in regards to new features and behaviour-changes, but possible in principle * Keep the session-manager separate from the other NON* tools Mixer, Sequencer and Timeline. * Protect nsmd from vanishing from the internet one day. * The goal is to become the de-facto standard music session manager for Linux distributions Changes since new-session-manager v1.3.2 (2020-06-20) Add documentation and manpages. Highlight: Provide updated API-Document (core documentation) on https://linuxaudio.github.io/new-session-manager/api/index.html Legacy-GUI: Overhaul look and feel. Rewrite labels and buttons with unambiguous descriptions. Protect text-input dialog windows from empty strings, like "Add New Client" or "New Session" Scale icons, support more icon formats. Show all icons and buttons when attaching to a running nsmd session Various small fixes. Always show correct session name, no matter how the session was loaded or how the GUI was started nsmd: NSM_API_VERSION_MINOR from 0 to 1 (1.0 -> 1.1) Repair nsmd to correctly send client data when running headless and a GUI announces later. ClientId generation now prevent collision with existing IDs. nsmd command line option --load-session to directly load one (Berkelder, Rik) Better detection of clients that failed to launch leads to faster session startup (by 5 seconds) Users get informed by client-label if an executable is not present on the system or permission denied Fixed reply for listing sessions from a plain "Done." to proper reply path with empty string as terminal symbol "/reply", "/nsm/server/list", "" Fix operation reply to last treated client instead to reply to sender (Picot, Mathieu / houston) /nsm/gui/session/name send consistent session name/relative-path pair to the annouced GUI, no matter how the session was loaded. nsm.h :optional-gui: support to nsm.h, for other applications to include and use. (Meyer, Hermann / brummer ) This is a joint release from multiple people under the linuxaudio.org "brand". https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager Greetings, dvzrv, falktx and nils

Kernel Patch for Tascam US4X4

by Guy Sherman

Hi All, Further to my earlier email about a python utility I wrote for manipulating the non-class-compliant settings of the Tascam US4X4 USB Audio Interface, I have created a kernel patch to add the relevant ALSA controls for the device. I'm looking to get it tested before I submit it as a kernel patch... would be a pity to have to resort to "it works on my machine" when submitting a patch for the linux kernel! The patch file is here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/guysherman/linux-kernel-patches/main/0001… It is based on 5.8.0-rc1. Please let me know if anyone is available to help. Kind regards, Guy. -- Guy Sherman *e:* guy(a)guysherman.com *w: *http://guysherman.com

mcpdisp-0.1.2 release

by Len Ovens

MCPDISP is a utility to add a display on to a Mackie Control based control surface that does not have it's own display such as the bcf2000. This is important if banking is being used (the project has more than 8 tracks) and also provides things like timecode or bar/beat readouts. At present this is a jackd only utility though it should be possible to bridge to ALSA using a2jmidid. Perhaps a later version will move to ALSA MIDI instead. The latest version can be found at: https://github.com/ovenwerks/mcpdisp/releases/tag/mcpdisp-0.1.2 Some Packaging scripts were optimizing the buffer to the stack. This release fixes that. Licenced as GPL-2+. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net

Re: [LAD] [LAU] Release: New Session Manager Version 1.3

by rosea.grammostola

Quite a hijack... No credits to the original author in the release announcement, which is quite disrespectful. He did finally solve the session management problem on Linuxaudio with Non-Session-Manager after several attempts by some serious skilled programmers. Release around midnight Europe time. Very classy guys. I've had e-mail contact with Nils twice about NSM this week. No word about this hijack/fork. All though I understand in some way that a fork is a logical consequence and I'm not totally against (maybe the timing), you guys really act like little boys or girls in high-school. Disappointing.

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.15 - An Early-Summer'20 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone! Happy to announce 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 once again released for this not-so-pretty Early-Summer'20 season... ;) There are still (the same only) two menus for you to choose: - the pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - the LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. No big deal this time, though some might welcome that: - A long awaited expedite "Panic" button is now featured. - Note velocity doesn't affect DCF envelope anymore. - Avoid glib event-loop upon LV2 plug-in instantiation. The 'Vee One Suite' are (still) free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later. So here they are again: **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.15 (early-summer'20) released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

FatFrog -- High Gain Amplifier LV2 plugin

by Hermann Meyer

Hi I've done a new simulation, this time a HighGainAmplifier. This one didn't try to cover any existing gear, but was stacked together by from what I've learned over the last years about tube amp simulation. This one is completely generated by dkbuilder in plain faust source code. I've put the faust code into the repository for completeness. The complete plugin is published under the BSD0 license. Here you could get it: https://github.com/brummer10/FatFrog.lv2 And because the Frog needs food, here is the perfect match Overdrive pedal to feed the Frog so that he'll rattle the walls like hell. The LittleFly. https://github.com/brummer10/LittleFly.lv2 As well published under the BSD0 license, as well with included faust source code. regards hermann
