Hey everyone!
Released new album, produced on Linux, using Carla. Qtractor and Zyn. Parts
of tracks had been made with FL Studio, running under WINE, but final
mixing was done in Qtractor. Track 2 fully made in FL Studio and is an
older unreleased work.
"Flying over Rostov airport" is one of my most popular singles on Soma.fm
and the first track I ever did using Linux Audio back in 2009.
"Landscapes From Above" is a new composition.
Listen and/or buy flac versions:

Anyone have experience with this MIDI controller? I'm wondering if any of
the extra bells-and-whistles (that I assume don't work on Linux) get in the
way. I'm primarily interested in it for the knobs and pedal inputs. Not
many seem to have expression pedal inputs these days.
Hi,
today we have published "The cult of John Option": our first album that
collect all the singles published in the past few months, same new songs
and a remix version.
As for the previous singles the album is published under the terms of
the Creative Commons License (CC-BY-SA) and it's completely produced
with free software only: Ardour, Hydrogen, Jack, Qsynth, CALF, and many
other great free audio software that we love and we used under Debian
GNU/Linux.
You can listen and download the album from Jamendo:
https://www.jamendo.com/album/159137/the-cult-of-john-option
As for the previous singles we have done a little more in the direction
of freedom and we published in our website all recording tracks
and the complete Ardour session. All this material is published under
the terms of the Creative Commons license Attribution Share alike so
that anyone can use our tracks to produce a remix of our song or even a
new song that have to be published under the same license.
You can find the recording tracks and Ardour project for every song here:
http://source.johnoption.org/album/the-cult-of-john-option/
I hope that you like our choice of freedom. If you feel like I'd love
to read your feedback, because the encouragement of the people who
listen to us and appreciate the philosophy of our project is the only
fuel for us to continue. And if you like to be updated about our next
release, please subscribe to our YouTube channel or any other social
network you like (see link to our profiles on our website[1]).
Best regards,

Frightened Americans already have that set up.

Friends
Apologies if this has been asked and answered already but I can find no
solutns.
My jackd set up is quite idiosyncratic. When I plug in my external
sound gear I have to change the connections each time to get sound out.
I also use a variety of gear from the same computer each with its own
requirements.
I would like to be able to write a script that would start up jackd, set
the default sound IO to use jackd (I am on Ubuntu Studio) start a couple
of other applications and change the connections.
The man page for jackd is not much help. I have found some pages that
have part of the answer (e.., http://www.64studio.com/node/740) but
surely there is some direct way of manipulating jackd connections
without a mouse and GUI?

I voted for love
About 18 months ago vector control became a 'thing' for Yoshimi and later, was
first demonstrated to a handful of people at LAC 2015. At that time it was only
accessible via NRPNs. Then about 6 months ago it became available to command
line users as well, and 3 months ago vector saving and loading became possible.
Now however, there is a shiny new window so the poor disadvantaged
pointer-pushers can also have full control. This is currently reached via the
'Yoshimi' tab, but we may move it to its own button. Also, saving and loading
vectors is now preserved in the recent histories file so you can quickly
restore these - the same as you can for saved patch sets, scales and states.
Vector entry via NRPNs and the CLI have also been upgraded slightly, so they
will now automatically set the right number of parts available, and enable the
required ones with the correct incoming channel number.
A new concept is shortform NRPNs. This is where instead of the NRPN setting up
for data entry of values, the NRPN is of itself the entire command. With a
suitable sequencer like Rosegarden, you start with a two byte MSB/LSB value,
then only need to enter single byte LSB CCs to change the setting. See
doc/Shortform_NRPN.txt
This came about through discussion after my demo of channel switching on
MiniLAC2016. The idea was liked, but having to mess about with multiple NRPNs
and their data settings was a fiddle.
Some other usability enhancements:
Some people don't like our splash window - Boo!
You can now disable it in settings {mutter}{mutter}
Many people didn't realise there were two types of resonance interpolation,
determined by whether you click the left or right mouse button. This has now
been split into two with better tooltips.
Jack audio autoconnect is now configurable in the GUI and stored so you don't
have to set it with a startup argument.
In MIDI settings you can now tell Yoshimi to ignore the 'reset all controllers'
message - various bits of hardware and software can send these at the most
inappropriate times.
A right click on a button for a child window now closes the parent and a right
click on that child's close button re-opens the parent. Use this a few times
and you'll wonder how you managed without. Actually, this has been possible for
a long time with Root/Bank/Instrument windows :)
A right click on the track of any slider, or on any rotary knob will return it
to its home position.
There has been some shuffling in the GUI to make the different windows more
consistent and easier to recognise. This has also enabled us to increase the
size of the smallest control knobs. Most sliders are now indented - it makes
them more obvious.
Scroll wheel behaviour on both knobs and sliders has also been adjusted to be
more consistent. By itself movement is pretty fast, but hold down the ctrl key,
and you'll get very fine resolution.
Other matters:
Yoshimi now has a build number, and this appears in the startup log. That's
probably only of interest to those building the master, or for reporting bugs -
whatever they are :P
Actually, there are the usual bugfixes (ancient and modern) and we've also made
a small improvement in the way we handle an all-jack environment.
The compatibility work we did for V1.3.8 ensured the all-important instrument
files were correct, but we didn't have time to implement all of the controls.
These are now in place.
There is more development on-going with considerable improvements pencilled in
for the next release.
