Hi, LAUs!
I'm trying to understand how IR.lv2 <https://github.com/Anchakor/ir.lv2>
(I'm using the 1.3.2-1kxstudio1 version) manages IR files ; I have this
quite long list of Lexicon480L files
<http://www.housecallfm.com/download-gns-personal-lexicon-480l>, it's in
AIFF format, and first, the files don't show up when you click the "Open
file" button, you have to remove the "audio files" filter and use "all
files" and then you can only select ONE file ; And then, if I want to
try another file, I lose the first one! It's gone, if I want it again
I'll have to "Open" it anew :(
And there's this "Bookmarks" window/pane : When I click "add" I get a
directory requester, if I select my dir (note that at this point, I
*can* see all my aif files inside it, only greyed out) then OK, fine, I
have a "Lexicon 480L" bookmark, but clicking on it does nothing :( I
guess my IR file management is broken..? Note that this works in
Klangfalter, it remembers where the files are, I just have to click one
in the list to load it ; But Then again Klangfalter tends to refuse to
work when I need it the most (you know, "because its buffer-size
requirements cannot be satisfied") so I wanted to try out IR.lv2.
Is this file management thing working at you guys? Is there some config
file where I can get it to work with aif files too?
Thank you for your patience ; my album is going forward, check out
yesterday's tune

Guitarix release 0.35.4
Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for
jack (Linux), with an additional mono and a stereo effect rack.
Guitarix includes a large list of LV2 and LADSPA plugins, and support
LADSPA / LV2 plugs as well in it's racks.
The guitarix engine is designed for LIVE usage, and feature ultra fast,
glitch and click free preset switching and is full Midi and remote
controllable (the Web UI is not included in the distributed tar ball).
This release removes the dependency to webkitgtk-1.0, which is
deprecated in most distributions those day's.
Instead the old Preset Web Browser, Guitarix use now Gio::File to fill
the new Online Preset Menu were you could inform you about the presets
and select them for downloading from

spectmorph-0.3.3 has been released.
Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.3.3:
----------------------------------------
* Added portamento:
- VST: support MPE to perform per-voice pitch bend (can be used in Bitwig)
- new portamento mono mode (all hosts)
* Added vibrato.
* Internal improvements:
- better property abstraction for (non-linear) UI properties
- updated polyphase interpolator (used for vibrato|portamento)
- fixed a few problems when developing against spectmorph(ui) libs
- don't link against Qt UI library when only QtCore is necessary
* Compile fixes for g++-6.3
What is SpectMorph?
-------------------
SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of
musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to
construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or
smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then
gradually changes to a flute.
SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be combined using
morphing.
SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3
Integrating SpectMorph into your Work
-------------------------------------
In order to make music that contains SpectMorph, you currently need to use
Linux. There are four ways of integrating SpectMorph sounds into music you
create:
- LV2 Plugin, for any sequencer that supports it.
- VST Plugin, especially for proprietary solutions that don't support LV2.
- JACK Client.
- BEAST Module, integrating into BEASTs modular environment.
Note that at this point, we may still change the way sound synthesis works, so
newer versions of SpectMorph may sound (slightly) different than the current
version.

Website: http://www.spectmorph.org
Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads/spectmorph-0.3.3.tar.bz2
There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing between
instruments.

I'm pleased to announce the 20170701 release of WhySynth, a DSSI
softsynth plugin featuring four oscillators per voice, multiple
oscillator, filter, and envelope modes, effects, and more.
New since the last release:
* Over 100 new patch presets, thanks to Brian Collins at
linuxsynths.com.
* Patches now have a 'category' field, with which you can organize
the patch list.
* Fixes for a couple security concerns, a pile of bugs, and a raft
of compiler warnings.
* A change to the default knob behavior.
* No new synthesis features (yet).
See below for information on potential breakage or confusion caused
by these changes.
Find WhySynth here:
http://smbolton.com/whysynth.html
More information on the DSSI plugin standard, available hosts
and plugins can be found here:
http://dssi.sourceforge.net/
WhySynth is written and copyright (c) 2017 by Sean Bolton,
and licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2.
Oh, goody, breakage and confusion:
* The addition of the category field meant a change to the patch
file format. Unfortunately, earlier versions of WhySynth were not
designed with forward compatibility in mind. If you save patches in
the new 'version 1' format, older WhySynths will not be able to load
them. If you save patches in the old 'version 0' format, both older
and current versions of WhySynth can use them. (Current versions can
even save and load the categories using 'version 0' format, thanks
to a bit of a hack, but don't round-trip from new to old to new
versions of WhySynth, or you'll lose your categories.)
* This release changes the default mouse button bindings of the
knobs. Previously, dragging mouse button 1 made changes in angular
mode: the knob would (quite abruptly) move to point toward the mouse
pointer. Dragging mouse button 3 used to operate in linear mode,
where moving the pointer vertically or horizontally would make
smooth incremental changes. This release swaps that behavior
between the two buttons, to what I think is a more usable default.
If you prefer the old behavior, you can add the following to your
~/.gtkrc-2.0:
gtk-control-rotary-prefer-angular = 1
Have fun!

I am trying to make a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (2nd Generation) work as
a USB audio capture device with Linux. Using the most current Linux
kernel without change (v4.12-rc6), Mic inputs 1 and 2 are successfully
captured. However, no other inputs are heard. The Scarlett device also
presents a very limited set of ALSA controls.

I modified sound/usb driver files mixer_quirks.c and mixer_scarlett.c to
treat the Scarlett 2nd generation device the same way it handles the
Scarlett 1st generation
0x1235:0x800c 1st Generation
0x1235:0x8201 2nd Generation
When checking with amixer, 228 controls are now listed, along with
errors that prevent alsamixer from being used. I have no information
about how to properly configure these controls.
I am interested in any pointer to or information about how to configure
and use this Scarlett 2nd Generation device.
Thank you,

Hi *!
Does anybody know of a decent free plugin that generates arbitrary OSC
command streams from plugin automation data in the DAW? Preferrably
(gasp!) VST? Idea is to use SomeEvilDAW to send and control smart things
on a box running a friendly OS and a FriendlyDAW.
Best,
Jörn

Dear linux audio users and developers,
(crossposting as usual for releases)
at the end of the last year I bought a new MIDI interface. I decided to buy a IConnectivity MIO10
as it comes closest to my old (MOTU MIDI Express XT) as it was reported to work flawless with
linux. It did, regarding the MIDI-Part, but as usual, the configuration was not possible with
linux. As WINE did not work for me as well, I decided to create my own utility.
And here it is:
https://github.com/dehnhardt/mioconfig
Currently it does support only a small part of the configuration possibilities, the interface
provides (Read the RELEASENOTES.md for further information) and is prealphabetasomewhat - but as I
did not implement firmware updates - it should (and in my case did not) not break the device.
The utility should work with most IConnectivity MIDI devices but I ownly could test ist with my
device.
There are *no* precompiled packages at the moment, you have to build them. (It is based on QT)
But I really apprecciate every input (please use the github issues) - and if someone wwould like to
enable compiling under Windows or Mac (which should work as I use QT an RTMidi) - you are very
welcome!
All the best
Holger
Hello all.
While configuring kernel, i stucked on option CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER, which
enables /dev/raw device section.
I suppose, things like linuxsampler or others, hardly working with
storage, might utilize this access way for most direct access to
samples. Or even in audio recording (only nearly imaginations).
Is it so really?
While searching in internet to learn about its real status, i got 2
facts:
- When raw device is mapped to some hda/sda dev, allowing to use it
even bypassing disk's internal cache.
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/238798/what-happened-to-dev-raw
- Yet i found proposal to remove raw devices support, argumented as
these devices have no notable use.
