[ANN] Qtractor 0.7.1 - The Meson Dope beta release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hey, Here's to all southerners for whom the so called Summer'15 didn't made much sense... Beg your pardon yet and again, but it's that time of year when grapefruit is about ripening, pretty fast and maybe late, at least on the northern hemisphere. No worries: harvesting has already been carried away. So it's your call now, wether it makes for ugly bad wine or, pretty good vinegar... "Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine so that I may wet my mind and say something clever." --Aristophanes never mind, Qtractor 0.7.1 (meson dope beta) is released! Now, for the clueless: 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. And for the ones who can aptly tell a TL;DR apart from a hangover: Besides the incidental bug-fixes and proverbial business-as-usual stance for this dot release, the most probable and hopefully significant news about it, is that this will the last to build against Qt4 by default. The time has come to move on up to Qt5. Remember that a Qt5 build is and has been possible already for ages now but somewhat relegated on a subpar status due to the once lack of support for all non-Qt5 LV2 plug-ins GUIs out there. Not anymore! Starting from this very release onwards there's this so called <em>native</em> LV2 GTK2 and X11 UI support on Qt5. Also thriving, drobilla's libsuil is being updated to par just that as well. So things are all aligning up nigh. A special note to the voluntary packager: if you choose, for any reason you may find commendable, to build, package and distribute a Qt5 build (via ./configure --enable-qt5 ...) please be sure that every LV2 plug-ins around that take Qt as its UI framework are also build, packaged and distributed on the same premises, otherwise they might just fail and crash Qtractor [1] on show. Among those are of course the one comprised by the 'Vee One Suite', namely synthv1 [9], samplv1 [10] and drumkv1 [11], of course. Also as a(nother) side note: It has been for quite some time there's an alternate github.com [7] repository which is kept in sync with the sf.net one [8]. However, this doesn't mean that the Qtractor [1] project is about to migrate to brand new hosting whatsoever: the original upstream source code repository is, will be, as ever was, always kept somewhere else still in this world and universe. It's a Git [12] world out nowadays and as the mottos says, --everything-is-local, --distributed-is-the-new-centralized ;) Enjoy.

Filipe Coelho, thanks). - Fixed wrong initial tempo/time-signature display when session is loaded from command line. - LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 in Qt5 host native support added. - Transport/Auto Backward feature now honoring (auto return) to same current location precedence as Transport/Backward. - Single/unique application instance control adapted to Qt5/X11 (cf. configure --enable-xunique). - MIDI Tools/Transpose, Resize duration display format (frames, time or BBT) have been fixed. - Build fix for Qt5.5 (patch by KaOS, thanks). - MIDI Tools/Quantize et al. are tentatively being corrected to take event times as relative to THE beginning of session, instead of MIDI clip start location.

QMidiArp-0.6.2 released

by Frank Kober

Hello all, This qmidiarp release dares to come about a year after the last one...and yet again: not much new stuff, but some more bugs squeeeezed, thanks to some courageous reporters. And, after all, it's a lifesign isn't it? In other words, updating is of course highly recommended. Have fun with QMidiArp 0.6.2, below are the list of changes and links Frank ----- qmidiarp-0.6.2 (2015-10-06) Fixed Bugs o Arp: Regression: Latch mode caused the first note playing on forever and other annoyances (Bug #12 reported by Alois Cochard) o Seq: Small position error of the helper tick line relative to the notes placed o Seq: Note length values saved to file were not correct and had no correct default (Bug #14 reported by Steve Grace) o LV2 Seq and Lfo: Display was not correct when diminishing resolution or length in plugin UI Minor improvement o LV2 Seq: Vertical zoom values are part of the controls and therefore saved in presets as well ----- QMidiArp is a MIDI arpeggiator, phrase generator and controller LFO for JACK and ALSA. It can run multiple synchronized arpeggiators, LFOs and step sequencers. The modules are also available as LV2 plugins with Qt user interface. All in all it is a handy live tool. Website http://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net/ Download http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.6.2/qmidiarp-0.6.… There is now also a github repo that will be kept in sync with the sf repo for the time being https://github.com/emuse/qmidiarp

click on connection graph change

by Andrew Yates

Hi all, When I change the track routing in ardour I get a small click in the main audio. Examples would be when routing drum tracks through a sub-group, or changing the side chain input to a compressor. Is this expected behaviour or is this due to a configuration problem with jack? Thanks Andy

Three academic job openings at soundjack.eu

by Adrian Knoth

Hi! Alexander Carot contacted me to spread the news: Starting in April 2016, three research assistant positions (PhD candidates welcome) will be available within the Soundjack project. If interested, please contact Prof. Carôt (a.carot(a)inf.hs-anhalt.de). (copy-pasted from <http://www.soundjack.eu/jobs.html>) I've been told one is TV-L13, the other is 75% and the third is 50% (money equivalent can be found here [0]) The project will be about making music in a distributed environment, contract will last three years (no idea if extendible). Working from home is negotiable and even considered part of the project. Candidates are expected to speak English, German is explicitly NOT required. Feel free to forward to interested parties.

Segfault with liblrdf if raptor is compiled with curl support

by Tito Latini

Hello, I want to propose the follow flag for raptor in liblrdf library: #if RAPTOR_VERSION >= 20000 raptor_world_set_flag(world, RAPTOR_WORLD_FLAG_WWW_SKIP_INIT_FINISH, 1); #endif before raptor_world_open() is called (explicitly or implicitly), for example after raptor_new_world() in lrdf_init(). That flag avoids to call curl_global_init() (not thread-safe) in raptor_www_init() and curl_global_cleanup() in raptor_www_finish(). Rare but possible (I'm lucky), if raptor is compiled with curl support, I have experienced the follow crash during Rosegarden startup: #0 0x00007ffff0a84f39 in lh_insert () from /lib64/libcrypto.so.1 #1 0x00007ffff0a087ba in OBJ_NAME_add () from /lib64/libcrypto.so.1 #2 0x00007ffff0a94cf8 in OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers () from /lib64/libcrypto.so.1 #3 0x00007ffff0a94cae in OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf () from /lib64/libcrypto.so.1 #4 0x00007ffff1acf20c in ?? () from /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4 #5 0x00007ffff1ad605a in curl_global_init () from /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4 #6 0x00007ffff22cc0fa in raptor_www_init () from /usr/lib64/libraptor2.so.0 #7 0x00007ffff22c9ef0 in raptor_world_open () from /usr/lib64/libraptor2.so.0 #8 0x00007ffff22c63f1 in raptor_new_uri () from /usr/lib64/libraptor2.so.0 #9 0x00007ffff5d26701 in lrdf_read_file_intl () from /usr/lib64/liblrdf.so.2 #10 0x00007ffff5d27626 in lrdf_read_file () from /usr/lib64/liblrdf.so.2 #11 0x00000000004d8d79 in Rosegarden::LADSPAPluginFactory::discoverPlugins() () The code is a simple lrdf_init, for-loop of lrdf_read_file, lrdf_cleanup, and curl seems useless to read/manipulate rdf files for LADSPA plugins. I have recompiled raptor without curl support --with-www=xml to use libxml, so the only work in raptor_www_init() is to set world->www_initialized = 1; without the call for curl_global_init().

updates

by Fons Adriaensen

Some updates on <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html> zita-ajbridge-0.6.0 - Added -S option, disables resampling but of course requires word-clock sync. - Auto selection of best resampler filter lenght. - Cleanup and bug fixes. zita-mu1-0.2.2 - Bugfix: will now exit when zombified or when jackd terminates. - Added proper license headers and GPL3 copy. I also completely replaced the code in Jack1 that calculates the proper running order of clients. The previous algorithm failed to do this in some cases. It could not be 'fixed' easily as it was basically using the wrong algorithm. Affected files are modified: include/engine.h modified: include/internal.h modified: jackd/clientengine.c modified: jackd/clientengine.h modified: jackd/engine.c There seems to be no interest from the Jack devs, but if anybody wants to test this I can either provide the modified files or a patch against git commit 5af5815c47630b77cc71c91a460f8aa398017cf7 (current HEAD). Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
