V 1.5.1 - Jenny Wren
Small and not especially pretty, but brightens up the Spring with sweet song.
HIGHLIGHTS
MIDI-learn has been extended so that you can now learn:
Aftertouch
The pitch wheel (14 bit resolution)
NRPNs (also 14 bit).
There is a 'Settings' option to always open the editing window on a sucessful
'learn'.
Main volume now has interpolation so there is no zipper noise, and part volume
and pan have better interpolation for the same reason.
LFO frequency and depth are now fully dynamic.
A number of actions are now 'soft' in that a fast fade is performed, then the
synth is disabled, the action takes place, and the synth is re-enabled.
The 'Solo' feature now ignores a value of zero if it is in 'Loop' mode. This
means you can use a simple on/off switch control to step through the parts only
when it gets the 'on' value.
More tooltips give real values on hovering. Some also give small graphic
representations.
We have a new splash screen, which also doesn't block anymore. There is now
also a 'Util' directory which has the tools, instructions and examples to
enable you to create a personalised splash.

Hi,
the Wiki [ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Professional_audio ]
opens with...
"This article or section needs expansion." and a link to the
discussion, but I still don't understand what actually is missing.
...followed by an unrealistic claim about grotesque low latency.
The article included wrong information, I already removed
"If you want to use any MIDI hardware you need to ensure the ALSA MIDI
driver is loaded. You can set the MIDI driver to load at boot by
creating the file /etc/modules-load.d/alsamidi.conf containing:"
IIRC apart from a bug that caused that the driver wasn't loaded, the
driver always gets loaded automatically.
There are claims about rtc, 1000Hz. This was valid, but IMO should be
obsolete now.
Etc., pp. ...
I don't want to rewrite the Wiki, especially because I won't and/or
can't test every hint. Please contribute to the Wiki and/or to the
"This and that" discussion
[ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Professional_audio ].
Regards,
Ralf

"Michael" described Floyd as "an idiot savant", and added, "Give him
any two numbers, and he can multiply them in his head, just like that."
Homer, testing Floyd, said, "Five times nine", and Floyd instantly
responded "Forty-five", which impressed Homer.
I thought it about time I started looking at these to get an idea of what's
avaialble, and was rather surprised to find the two nearest seemed to be fully
booked for the conference dates - although admittedly one is right in the city
centre.
I was hoping to find one a reasonable walking distance. Anyone sorted theirs
yet?

Greetings,
No jokes, and nothing else new here, just a repackaging of some pieces
for the Full Tines patch from my old TX802, realized here via Hexter.

1. Prelude
2. Promenade
3. During Rain
All previously released, but this playlist has not been uploaded to
SoundCloud, nor does it have anything to do with cigars, real or
virtual, in this phase space or any other.
Just a little over 9 mellow minutes of late 80s electric piano a la the
DX7II, and that's all.
Best,
dp

If you think about it, a wormhole could have a very obvious sexual use for repressed male geekery, without the harmful side effects of a black hole.

Guitarix release 0.35.3
Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for
jack (Linux), with an additional mono and a stereo effect rack.
Guitarix includes a large list of plugins[*] and support LADSPA / LV2
plugs as well.
The guitarix engine is designed for LIVE usage, and feature ultra fast,
glitch and click free preset switching and is full Midi and/or remote
controllable (the Web UI is not included in the distributed tar ball).
This release comes with a couple of Bugfixes, some new LV2 plugs (by
Steve Poskitt) and some maintenance changes in the source.
Thanks goes to Valentin Vidic, Jonathan Wakely and Pete Beardmore for
there contributions.

There has been much argument as to whether a graphical interface is best with
independent windows, or with a single window (with or without tabs). Here in
the Yoshimi workshop, the only type of arguments we like are the startup CLI
ones! Therefore we've been working on a quite novel idea.
This came about when one of our team (who still uses a CRT monitor) found that
a cheap ionizer dramatically reduced the static discharges he kept getting. He
quickly realised that ionization could be used to control both static
attraction and repulsion. Thinking there must be an enhanced IT equivalent he
hacked up some software ionization code.
The idea actually worked. Damp down one window's positive charges and the
other's negative component and they'd immediately stick together - overlapping
(trying to balance their fields). He called this a 'Polarising Object
Stratifier'. Making the windows repel was a bit of a problem as they tended to
get a bit agressive and would fly right off the edges of the screen.
We were a bit surprised when Mary spoke up.
"It's on a CRT right? So why not use an ion trap magnet?"
We didn't know she was old enough to remember them (nobody was brave enough to
ask her age). Then after a pause. "Everything else is software these days, so
why not a software IoT magnet?" She was on a roll now, and seeing the disbelief
on our faces, said, "Oh you wimps! Can't even sort out this P.O.S. I'll code it
myself with Ada."
What can I say? She built it, and it worked. However, the IoT magnet had to be
treated with care - it wouldn't do for it to interfere with other unrelated
systems. As the associated hardware was designed and built by most of the team
we decided to call it the Joint Unified Node Controller.
Things were going really well. Everyone thought putting P.O.S. code into IoT
J.U.N.C. was a great idea. With some fine tuning of both electrostatic and
magnetic fields in windows, Bonded Ordinate Tracking 'nets' could be made to
attach to each other as a single blob, discretely slip under to work unseen, or
tuck themselves almost out of sight into the corners. They jiggled a bit -
rather adding to the charm. The PR and marketing departments were ecstatic.
That was yesterday.
Anyone remember the thunderstorm? We'll never forget it! There was a lightning
strike almost directly overhead.
We'd left the unit on test overnight and think all those finely balanced forces
were suddenly released, and at the same time the strength of the IoT magnet
must have increased by many orders of magnitude. Fortunately there was nobody
in the building. However, when we went in this morning, we were sorry to see
the kit had sort-of imploded.
That thunderstorm must have really been something. It seems to have taken out
our ISP for several hours, though he rang me around 2am ranting about something
called a zero day, and service denial. I told him I hadn't a clue what he was
talking about and that I was sure he'd sort out whatever his problem was during
the morning.
