[LAU] 2 Hour Album Challenge - Writing Music in Lisp

by Brandon Hale

Hello all, I forgot to post this here before I went live: I participated in another 2 Hour Album Challenge <https://2hac.abstractionmusic.com/> today. Follow the link if you are interested in participating, there is still about 22 hours left to make a track. There aren't many Linux users, so it is fun to represent what you can do on a different kind of system. It involves live streaming your workflow and making a track in two hours. The album sales get donated for charity to save kittens <http://www.aohrescue.org/>. I tried again to make a track using common music/incudine/lisp (cm-incudine) as my note generator/sequencer, and renoise as my rack of instruments. This time, I experimented with sequencing the track with incudine's AT function. Feel free to watch and let me know what you think: https://youtu.be/_3W-K84412U <https://youtu.be/_3W-K84412U> Thanks and I hope you enjoy it, Brandon Hale

[LAU] Face or person tracking with a camera

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I am sorry if this seems very off-topic. But I thought that there might be performers here who could be experienced with this. A friend of mine is looking for a simple way to track herself with a camera for lessons. I have seen that there are gadgets which can recognise a face and so track a person with a camera. Having no experience with that, at all, myself, I thought it best to find knowledgeable advice. I think she will use a mac environment. I don't know how many things - you might know about - are cross platform or stand alone, though a Raspberry Pi in support of her work could be quite feasible. Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c All I need is time A moment that is mine While I'm in between <3 (Britney Spears)

[LAU] [ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.23 - An Early-Summer'21 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again! The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments, * synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer; * samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer; * drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler; * padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer. Are all being released as the second batch of the so called 'QStuff*' (northern) Early-Summer'21 season. Notable changes for this season are as follows: - Fixed some ages old Glide/portamento potential crash bug (as reported by AnClark, while on synthv1 [1]; also applies to samplv1 [2] and padthv1 [4]). - Add support for LV2 UI Windows platform (by AnClark, also while on synthv1 [1]). - Sustenuto pedal controller (MIDI CC#66) is now implemented. - Fixed old Sustain/Damper/Hold pedal controller (MIDI CC#64) note-off processing. (also implemented new on drumkv1 [3]) - Have some tolerance for buffer-size changes. - All builds default to Qt6 (Qt >= 6.1) where available. - CMake [12] is now the official build system. As usual, all delivered in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later. And again in detail... **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.23 (early-summer'21) is released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

[LAU] Looking for a (fixed) filterbank plugin

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, firstly, I know that this is provided by many vocoder plugins, but due to the audio routing in my DAW this is not really feasible. Do you know of a dedicated plugin (preferrably LADSPA) that provides a resonant filterbank, fixed or not?
