[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.28 - An End-of-Year'22 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Holidays greetings, Yet one second time and behold: 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] a polyphonic additive synthesizer. This time released for this End-of-Year'22 season... All still 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]. A brief change-log applies for all in common: - Mitigate NSM sending lots of dirty messages on SIGTERM signal. - Although being deprecated to use, JACK Session support hopefuly fixed once again. 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. **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.28 (end-of-year'22) is out! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

Trouble using BinauralDecoder from iempluginsuite

by Iain Mott

Hello, I've been trying to improve the ambisonic decoding for a project in SuperCollider on Arch Linux. Typically I use newCIPIC decoder kernel from the ATK. As an alternative, I first tried the ambix VST plugin in Ardour. When I could get it to work I got excellent results, however it crashed Ardour constantly and the standalone version was equally unstable. The ambix project seems to have stopped development more than 2 years ago. I then tried the VST version BinauralDecoder from iempluginsuite. This works well in Ardour testing with a 2nd order N3D signal. The standalone version however fails to produce an output and seems to be caught in a constant internal feedback loop, ie. it shows "INPUT MUTED" when the audio settings have "Feedback loop: mute audio input" selected and also produces feedback when set to ALSA (rather than Jack) and the "test" button selected. This feedback occurs with no input connections in Pipewire. In SuperCollider (from which would be the ideal platform for me to use the BinauralDecoder), I again attempted to use the VST version using VSTPlugin and its associated classes. When however I scan for plugins with VSTPlugin.search, it prints: '/usr/lib/vst3/BinauralDecoder.vst3' is black-listed. I've not been able to find where that blacklist is located. The same plugin continues to work correctly in Ardour. The version installed of the iempluginsuite is the latest: 1.13.0-1. Does anyone have any suggestions? Merry Christmas,

Need some old or extinct sounds?

Sound | conserve the sound https://www.conservethesound.de/category/sound Sounds like an old dial phone, or an 8mm film transport. Described as ones that used to be everyday sounds, or sounds of extinct devices. It also accepts user-uploaded sounds. Sound quality seemed good to me, at least for the dial phone. --- David W.

[music] Theme and fugue for Cariad (soundtrack and for part organ fugue)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, today I release two pieces which are closely connected: Theme for Cariad: https://youtu.be/niUZMYIfWEI OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o4awk2vd8va1v9t/theme_for_cariad.ogg And a four part organ fugue: Fugue for Cariad: https://youtu.be/Qmp7owQzteM OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/86mnd1v6jtnjrgj/fugue_for_cariad.ogg In case anyone is wondering: cariad is Welsh for beloved. The theme for Cariad is a kind of soundtrack, a string quintet. I used the VPO (virtual player orchestra). It is a good collection and the best free orchestra in SFZ format I know, yet in this instance it falls short, being so very exposed. I suppose an even better volume automation might still get it closer. Still, I tried to really work on my string arrangement skills and none course worthier than love. The fugue for Cariad uses Aeolus, which eliminates any questions of sound. Great organ! It is a four part fugue, reminiscent of the baroque style. Only, I cheated and it would take two players, since the piece makes heavy use of all three manuals at the same time, which is certainly not historic. Still, it is the first four part fugue that I have written and again I'm very happy that I was inspired to juggle the voices by her. For the theme I used jconvolver/fconvolver with an impulse response of the Concertgebouw, very little else in the way of production. A touch of EQ and compression on the final master to glue the instruments together. If nothing else both pieces radiiate a bit of festive spirit or something to relax into with a cup of something hot in your favourite comfy spot. :) 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 Don't worry, you're gonna be alright, But Cinderella's got to go <3 (Britney Spears)

esi32 firmware?

by Peter P.

Hi, trying to get an old Emagic Esi32 to run on my Debian stable system. Upon connecting I get in dmesg: emi26 - firmware loader 2-1:1.0: emi26_probe start usb 2-1: firmware: failed to load emi26/loader.fw (-2) usb 2-1: Direct firmware load for emi26/loader.fw failed with error -2 usb 2-1: emi26_load_firmware - error loading firmware: error = -2 It seems there is some kind of firmware needed, and it exists/existed according to this list https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware/List but I can't seem to find it in the apt package manager. Does anyone have experience with this card, or any idea I could try next? thanks! P
