[ANN] QmidiCtl 0.5.3 - An Early Winter'19 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello and Happy New Year! QmidiCt 0.5.3 (early winter'19) is out! QmidiCt [1] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [6] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows [7]. QmidiCt [1] was long ago designed for the Maemo [8] enabled handheld devices, namely the late Nokia N900 [9] and promoted to the Maemo Package [10] repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [1] may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android application as well. See also: QmidiNet [2] - A MIDI network gateway via UDP/IP multicast.

Problems delivering mail to certain mail providers

by David Runge

Hey all, some of you (e.g. users of free.fr [1]) are currently seeing problems with the LAD/LAU mailing lists. It seems to be triggered by those mail servers still trying to negotiate handshakes using obsolete and unsafe SSLv3 ciphers. Several of you might have received an unsubscription notice from the mailing list. Please note, that this is not done out of malice, but because after several connection drops, mailman will automatically kick subscribers off the list - which is usually good for non-existing mail hosts or mail addresses. However, in this particular instance I think it is due to us not allowing those SSLv3 ciphers anymore (most mail providers actually don't) and have not done so since the beginning of the year (configuration-wise nothing has changed significantly in quite some time either, which is even more pointing in an outwards direction). The only solution to this - to my opinion - is to fix your mail server setup (if you operate your own mail server) or ask your mail provider to fix theirs (if you are using someone else's services). You can validate the functionality of your TLS setup [2] before and/or afterwards. If both are non-viable options for you, I suggest switching to a mail provider, that has a more well-maintained and configured mail server setup (as we're able to deliver to other mail providers just fine). Best, David [1] https://ssl-tools.net/mailservers/free.fr [2] https://ssl-tools.net/mailservers/ -- https://sleepmap.de

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.4 - A Late Autumn'18 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings! 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 all being released for the late in Autumn'18. All still available in dual format: - 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]. The changes for this special season are the following: - Make sure all LV2 state sample file references are resolved to their original and canonical file-paths (not symlinks). (applies to samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only) - Fixed a severe bug on saving the LV2 plug-in state: the sample file reference was being saved with the wrong name identifier and thus gone missing on every session or state reload thereafter.(applies to samplv1 [2] only) - Sample waveform drawing is a bit more keen to precision. - Old deprecated Qt4 build support is no more. - Normalized wavetable oscillator phasors. - Added missing include <unistd.h> to shut up some stricter compilers from build failures. 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 go again! **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.4 (late-autumn'18) released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.3 - The End of Autumn'18 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Finally! Qtractor 0.9.3 (end-of-autumn'18 beta) is out! All the changes that were simply 'decrastinated' for this season are as follows: - Auto-backward now skips the end-of-session location. - Audio clip time-stretching and pitch-shifting limits are now 10-fold in either direction. - Custom color (palette) theme editor introduced; color (palette) theme changes are now effective immediately, except on default. - Old deprecated Qt4 build support is no more. - Recover audio and MIDI dedicated port connections when changing any of the Metronome, Player and/or Control option settings. - Fix MIDI track (and bus) bank/program reset to none. - Anti-glitch micro-fade-in is disabled on audio clips with zero offset. - Audio and MIDI file players also stopped on Transport / Panic command. - LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 in Qt5 host native support are now disabled on default configure. - Get rid of symlink duplicates on the default plugin search paths. - According to Debian policy and guidelines, the out-of process plugin scanner (qtractor_plugin_scan) is now installed to $LIBDIR/qtractor. 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.

Open Source Design (paid and pro bono design)

by David Runge

Hey all, I thought I'd spread the word about Open Source Design [1], which is a community of designers and developers that wants to improve usability of free software (never mind the name, I guess most people are not as strict about it as e.g. Richard Stallman ;-) ). A friend (hey Sam!) made me aware of this recently and I think the community can be a great opportunity to either learn about design or find someone to help your project get a facelift (or a logo, or whatever). This can be done by posting a request for a "job" (paid or unpaid) [2] on their site. Maybe it's of help to anyone here. Best, David [1] https://opensourcedesign.net/ [2] https://opensourcedesign.net/jobs/ -- https://sleepmap.de

So in 2019, which plugin "format"?

by Gordonjcp

Hi folks, At the risk of igniting a flame war, if one were to develop softsynth plugins for Linux, what would be the "framework" of choice these days? Back in the day I wrote some using DSSI, which was a model I was pretty comfortable with. I had a look at LV2 but couldn't work out how to generate the huge incomprehensible non-human-readable "ttl" files. Where does the world stand now? -- Gordonjcp
