The FFADO project announces the availability of FFADO version 2.4.4. This is a non-critical update. The only change since version 2.4.3 is the disabling of the optional device registration dialog. The data gathered is of peripheral value these days, making its ongoing collection unnecessary. FFADO version 2.4.4 is available as a tarball: http://ffado.org/files/libffado-2.4.4.tgz Formal release notes are at http://ffado.org/posts/ffado-2.4.4-release/ Regards Jonathan (on behalf of the FFADO project)

[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.16 - QStuff* Summer'20 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings One third and last time around... Qtractor 0.9.16 (summer'20) is out! Change-log: - Experimental / High resolution plugin automation (14-bit) options is now also removed from View > Options... > Plugins dialog. - Audio Clip / Export... now takes into account custom fixed gain property (shamefully missing for the whole last decade to date). - Finally indulged on dummy LV2 plug-in CVPort support, just to avoid certain immediate and sudden crashes when inserting those kind of 'non-functional' plugins accidentally. - Bring the Track Export dialog down to Clip Merge/Export as well, for optional file type and format selection. - When enabled, do auto-save upon adding or inserting a new plugin. - Make sure LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 native support is selected first by default on top to libsuil. - Both out-of-process plugin inventory scan and LV2 Dynamic manifest options have been removed from View > Options... > Plugins dialog. - Fixed deprecated stuff on an early preparation for Qt6. 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.

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.16 - QStuff* Summer'20 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, one more time! 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 here released as the second bunch of the 'QStuff*' for the (Northern) Summer'20 season and then bumped to **version 0.9.16**. All (still) delivered in dual form: - the pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (New Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - the LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Nothing much this time around, just some janitorial nitpicking: - Fixed deprecated stuff on an early preparation for Qt6. 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.

SoundTracker 1.0.1 released

by Yury Alyaev

Hi all! I have decided to release finally SoundTracker v1.0.1. Lacking feedback after the 1.0.1-pre1 release I had to spent enough time to test it thoroughly. During this testing, I have found and fixed numerous bugs. Now ST seems to be matured enough to be released. You can download it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/soundtracker/files/ 1.0.1 release contains no new features compared to 1.0.1-pre1, it is the bugfixing release only. So its list of features is the same as for 1.0.1-pre1: Regards, Yury. What is new in soundtracker-1.0.1 (29-Jul-2020): * Improved mouse usage in the instrument editor (yaliaev) * Indication of pressed keys in the instrument editor (yaliaev) * Better look of the scopes (yaliaev) * Record indicator in the sampling monitor (yaliaev) * More configurable colors (yaliaev) * Logarithmic scale of the amplification slider; numeric entry in addition to the slider; ability to determine the optimal amplification (yaliaev) * Extended editor on the module info page with functions of exchanging and copying samples and instruments, mixing samples and tuning a sample using another one as a reference (yaliaev) * Different selection modes in tracker, selection can be extended with SHIFT (yaliaev) * A new method of waveforms' drawing in the sample displays in addition to the existing one (yaliaev) * Automatic file extension adding (optional) (yaliaev) * More convenient keybindings; new keybindings are added (see README) (yaliaev) * Some more keys are made configurable including that for song / pattern playback (yaliaev) * New playing modes are added: Playing selected block and Playng from cursor, playback looping control (yaliaev) * Facility for loading somewhat broken modules (yaliaev) * Stepping volume / FX parameter with mouse wheel (yaliaev) * Improved export to audio file (yaliaev) * Volume column can be displayed like in FT2, with letters, mnemonics and optional decimal volume representation (yaliaev) * Jack input driver (yaliaev) * Improved live recording using PC keyboard: better key pressing / releasing times are recorded using FXes (yaliaev) * Some other small improvements (GUI, usability) (yaliaev) * Some bugfixes including the CPU overhead with graphics (yaliaev)

[RFT] ALSA control service programs for Fireworks board module

by Takashi Sakamoto

Hi, This is request-for-test (RFT) to the ALSA control service programs for devices with Fireworks board module. The program is available in 'topic/service-for-efw' of below repository, and the RFT is corresponding to Pull Request #2: * https://github.com/alsa-project/snd-firewire-ctl-services/ If you have listed devices and handle them by ALSA fireworks driver, please test the service program according to the below instruction. * Mackie (Loud) Onyx 1200F * Mackie (Loud) Onyx 400F * Echo Audio Audiofire 12 (till Jul 2009) * Echo Audio Audiofire 8 (till Jul 2009) * Echo Audio Audiofire 12 (since Jul 2009) * Echo Audio Audiofire 8 (since Jul 2009) * Echo Audio Audiofire 2 * Echo Audio Audiofire 4 * Echo Audio Audiofire Pre8 * Gibson Robot Interface Pack (RIP) for Robot Guitar series Background ---------- The models with Fireworks board module are already supported by ALSA fireworks driver for their isochronous packet stream functionality and vendor-specific transaction. Although the driver allows userspace applications to process PCM frames and MIDI messages in the packet streaming, it doesn't support the other functionalities such as volume control since it can be achieved by any usespace application which executes ioctl(2) to ALSA hwdep character device for the transaction. The service program is to satisfy the demand to control the models. ALSA control applications can request the control by IPC to the service program. In detail of mechanism, please read README.rst in the repository[1]. You can see some illustrations. How to build ------------- The project depends on several libraries in below repositories: * glib[2] * alsa-gobject v0.1.0[3] * libhinawa v2.0.0[4] Before building it, please install them with gobject-introspection support. The project is written by Rust programming language[5] and packaged by cargo[6]. To build, just run below commands in the environment to connect to internet: ``` $ git clone https://github.com/alsa-project/snd-firewire-ctl-services.git -b topic/service-for-efw $ cd snd-firewire-ctl-services $ cargo build ``` All of required crates are downloaded automatically, then start build. Executables ----------- After building, `snd-fireworks-ctl-service` executable is available. When running, the program adds and maintains control elements, then enter event loop to dispatch events. The added elements are visible and manipulable for any userspace applications. The program dispatch any manipulation event for transactions to control actual device. The executable has an option for the numerical ID of sound card. ``` Usage: snd-fireworks-ctl-service CARD_ID where: CARD_ID: The numerical ID of sound card. ``` It's easy to run the executable by cargo, like: ``` $ cargo run --bin snd-fireworks-ctl-service 2 ``` Receiving SIGTERM signal terminates the event loop, then the program finishes. During runtime, any ALSA control applications can enumerate and manipulate the added control elements. This is an example of Echo Audio AudioFire 2: ``` $ amixer -c 2 controls numid=33,iface=MIXER,name='clock-detect' numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='clock-rate' numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='clock-source' numid=36,iface=MIXER,name='input-meter' numid=34,iface=MIXER,name='midi-in-detect' numid=35,iface=MIXER,name='midi-out-detect' numid=6,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-gain' numid=7,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-gain',index=1 numid=8,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-gain',index=2 numid=9,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-gain',index=3 numid=10,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-gain',index=4 numid=11,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-gain',index=5 numid=12,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-mute' numid=13,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-mute',index=1 numid=14,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-mute',index=2 numid=15,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-mute',index=3 numid=16,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-mute',index=4 numid=17,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-mute',index=5 numid=24,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-pan' numid=25,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-pan',index=1 numid=26,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-pan',index=2 numid=27,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-pan',index=3 numid=28,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-pan',index=4 numid=29,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-pan',index=5 numid=18,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-solo' numid=19,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-solo',index=1 numid=20,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-solo',index=2 numid=21,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-solo',index=3 numid=22,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-solo',index=4 numid=23,iface=MIXER,name='monitor-solo',index=5 numid=38,iface=MIXER,name='monitoring' numid=37,iface=MIXER,name='output-meter' numid=31,iface=MIXER,name='output-mute' numid=30,iface=MIXER,name='output-volume' numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='playback-mute' numid=5,iface=MIXER,name='playback-solo' numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='playback-volume' numid=32,iface=MIXER,name='stream-playback-routing' ``` Access permissions for relevant character devices -------------------------------------------------- The executable manipulates below character devices to dispatch, and emit events from end to end. The '%u' is the numerical number of instance in each subsystem: * ALSA control character device (/dev/snd/controlC%u) * ALSA hwdep character device (/dev/snd/hwC%uD%u) * Linux firewire character device (/dev/fw%u) Feedback -------- Any feedback is welcome. For questions, please use mailing list of alsa-devel or alsa-users[7]. For issues, please use service of github.com[8]. Issues ------ The name of control elements are not fixed yet since the convention of name for element set is not clear yet for recording equipment. Users may feel inconvenience to which channel corresponds to which physical port. Furthermore, in the case that element set includes several elements, it's unclear that which element corresponds to which physical port as well. ALSA control core has no feature for the above issues at present.

WIP, RFC: jack2_split

by Florian Paul Schmidt

Hi, I had a hunch that's there is a way to trade latency for parallelism in serial jack graphs (at least on jack2/jackdmp setups). Comments welcome.. https://github.com/fps/jack2_split README.md below: jack2_split A program that facilitates parallelism in serial jack graphs by introducing latency. Only useful for jack2/jackdmp - it does nothing but add latency in jack1 setups. What? If you have a jack processsing graph that looks like this: capture -> A -> B -> playback where A and B are jack clients, then A and B must be scheduled in series due to the linear dependency. Running A and B serially might produce xruns (i.e. violate the scheduling deadline imposed by jackd) while running only A or only B might not. jack2_split can be used to remedy the situation by using the following graph: capture -> A -> jack2_split -> B playback jack2_split breaks the serial dependency by registering two jack clients which respectively only have terminal input and output ports. It copies the buffers from its inputs to its outputs after the current process cycle. This introduces one additional period of latency into the graph, but allows jack2/jackdmp to schedule A and B in parallel (e.g. on two cores). -- https://fps.io
