[LAD] [ANN] WhySynth DSSI softsynth 20170701 release

by Sean Bolton

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! -Sean

[LAD] [ANN] Qtractor 0.8.3 - The Stickiest Tauon is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Howdy! Qtractor 0.8.3 (stickiest tauon) is out! Changes for this mostly just a bug-fix beta release: - Make sure any just recorded clip filename is not reused while over the same track and session. (CRITICAL) - LV2 Plug-in worker/schedule interface ring-buffer sizes have been increased to 4KB. - Fixed track-name auto-incremental numbering suffix when modifying any other track property. - WSOLA vs. (lib)Rubberband time-stretching options are now individualized on a per audio clip basis. - Long overdue, some brand new and fundamental icons revamp. - Fixed a tempo-map node add/update/remove rescaling with regard to clip-lengths and automation/curve undo/redo. - Fixed a potential Activate automation/curve index clash, or aliasing, for any plug-ins that change upstream their parameter count or index order, on sessions saved with the old plug-in versions and vice-versa. 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.

[LAD] Linux Support for Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 2nd Generation

by Lloyd Dickman

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. exxothermic@exxothermic-BFC:~$ lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1235:8201 Focusrite-Novation Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub exxothermic@exxothermic-BFC:~$ amixer -c 1 contents numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='ADAT Validity' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1 : values=on numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='Clock Source' ; type=ENUMERATED,access=rw------,values=1,items=3 ; Item #0 'Internal' ; Item #1 'S/PDIF' ; Item #2 'ADAT' : values=0 numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='Internal Validity' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1 : values=on numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='S/PDIF Validity' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1 : values=on 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.

[LAD] OSC-generating plugin?

by Jörn Nettingsmeier

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.

[LAD] Release v0.1: IConnectivity MIDI Configuration Utility

by holger＠dehnhardt.org

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

[LAD] Does some proaudo stuff uses raw linux devices?

by Nikita Zlobin

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. http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0505.2/1387.html (but that discussion is sooo old...)

[LAD] FLAC as open standard: help wanted.

by Jörn Nettingsmeier

Hi *! A friend and fellow free software enthusiast is trying to get FLAC standardized with the IETF to foster its use as a long-term archive format. If anyone here can see themselves drafting RFCs and helping with the tedium of such a process, please write to me off-list.

Re: [LAD] youtube blocks LAC 2017 May 18 AM

by Thomas Cipierre

Dear LAC2017, I’m part of the LAC2017 committee, and was nearly all the time involved in the IRC #LAC2017 freenode channel as tcUJM (except one chairing session). For those who were there, I already replied that there was actually a real copyright problem, since Thierry indeed used copyrighted material during his talk. However, he has the right to do so, having all the documents needed on INA (standing for Institut National de l’Audiovisuel – which could be translated to Audiovisual National Institute) material, so we are currently solving this problem. Philippe, our LAC streaming technician is working onto this – but he needs some more time to edit videos, since he is needed on a lot of other projects in our university. We are sorry for the temporary side-effect on Harry’s brilliant talk. Thanks to all of you, I was thrilled being involved in this LAC and meeting several of you. I definitely look forward to seeing you again on forums, mailing lists and in future projects. All the best, Thomas CIPIERRE Phd. Student at Jean Monnet University (Saint-Étienne)
