by Joël Krähemann

Hi I've just released GSequencer v0.7.0 what provides you reusable libraries. http://gsequencer.org/download.html * libags * libags-thread * libags-server * libags-audio * libags-gui * libgsequencer The documentation is some kind of out-dated. Would be great if someone would show me interests in reusing libags-audio or alike to improve the docs. bests, Joël

still can't mix with frotz

by dave＠661.org

Building upon what I learned back in April about mixing, I've managed to get all my inputs into the same formats for output. I've made some developments in getting stuff to correctly play individually, but mixing is still beyond me. playaiff() Waits for semaphore audio_empty, then gets mutex. Then fills bleepbuffer with 2-channel, 16-bit, 44100Hz float audio data from an AIFF chunk. When the buffer is full, it puts up the audio_full semaphore and releases the mutex. While there are still data to process, the global bleep_playing is true. A thread is spawned for this whenever an AIFF chunk must be played. It terminates when the chunk is done playing. playmusic() Calls either playmod() or playogg() depending on what kind of chunk has been passed to it. Those two functions are the same as playaiff() except they handle MODs or OGGs. While there are still data to process, the global music_playing is true. A thread is spawned for this whenever a MOD or OGG chunk must be played. It terminates when the chunk is done playing. mixer() Waits for the audio_full semaphore, then gets mutex. If bleep_playing is true and music_playing is false, convert bleepbuffer (floats) to shortbuffer (shorts) and play shortbuffer with ao_play(). If bleep_playing is false and music_playing is true, convert musicbuffer (floats) to shortbuffer (shorts) and play shortbuffer with ao_play(). If both bleep_playing and music_playing are true, then step through bleepbuffer[i] and add musicbuffer[i]. Convert bleepbuffer to shorts and play shortbuffer. A thread is spawned for this on startup and runs until the main thread terminates. Now, the trouble. If I start music in the form of a MOD chunk, then play an AIFF, I get a distorted mix and then the music keeps going on cleanly. Subsequent AIFF plays perform the same whether or not the MOD is playing. If I start music in the form of an OGG chunk, then play an AIFF, I get a distorted mix, then a harsh screech for a few more seconds, and then maybe a segfault. What is wrong with my mixer? Here's the latest code: https://github.com/DavidGriffith/frotz/blob/ao-curses/src/curses/ux_audio.c These libraries are necessary: install libao, libvorbis, libncurses, libmodplug, and libsamplerate. Test program is at http://661.org/if/story.zblorb There are three buttons: red, green, and blue. Pressing these will cause an AIFF to play. There is a Commodore 64 that plays an OGG. The Amiga will play a MOD. Pressing the "off" button will turn off all sounds. Just turning off the music maker won't work. That's another problem for which I do not need assistance. Red button: 2-channel, 16-bit, 44100Hz Green button: 1-channel, 8-bit, 11025Hz Blue button: 1-channel, 8-bit, 11025Hz Tests are as follows: ! Pressing red, green, or blue buttons results in different noises. > PRESS RED BUTTON You press the red button. ! quit and restart > TURN ON COMMODORE 64 You turn on the Commodore 64 and it immediately begins playing the tune from the game Sanxion. ! At this point, pressing one of the colored buttons will cause a ! distorted mix and usually a segfault. ! quit and restart > TURN ON AMIGA You turn on the Commodore Amiga and it immedately begins playing an old time MOD file. > PRESS BLUE BUTTON You press the blue button. ! Here there is a distorted mix that runs a bit slower than it should. ! When the noise produced by the colored button completes, the MOD file ! music continues with no more distortion. Pressing a colored button ! again will result in the same distortion and then the MOD continues as ! before. -- David Griffith dave(a)661.org A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?

[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.

Change-log: - Fixed an ages old MIDI track/channel instrument mapping (bank, program) issue that prevented normal all-shut-up messages from being sent to MIDI output buses/ports on playback stop. - Messages standard output capture has been improved again, now in both ways a non-blocking pipe may get. - Fixed port on MIDI 14-bit controllers input caching. - Fixed false value readings on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) tool-tips, when dragging a note velocity or controller value outside the acceptable nominal range (eg. 0-127). - Added LV2_BUF_SIZE__nominalBlockLength option support (patch by falktx aka. 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
