[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.3 - An Autumn'18 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone! The 'Vee One Suite' of so called '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 and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are now all out for the 'septentrional' Autumn'18. All available in dual standard forms: - 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]. Where applicable, the common change-log for this Fall goes like this: - For safety reasons, all processing is now suspended while loading presets or program changes are issued. - AppStream metadata updated to be the most compliant with latest freedesktop.org specification and recommendation. - SIGTERM (and SIGINT) signal handler added to close the JACK stand-alone client applications properly. - Make the GUI not to show initially on NSM. - Current element sample offset/loop start/end parameters automation is now a possibility, on the LV2 plug-in only (applies to samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). - Make NSM state independent to session display name, keeping backward compatibility for old sessions. - Give some more slack to schedule/worker thread ring-buffer. 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.

[FLOSS-music] Picforth In Nomine

by Giso Grimm

Dear LAU, our interpretation of the "In Nomine" of Mr. Picforth (published around 1570) is a crossover between Early Music and Ambience: https://youtu.be/90Yfa5O2jx0 This piece is part of our concert program "Harmony of the Spheres", where we spatialize acoustic instruments in low delay real-time, using only FLOSS tools. I introduced early versions of the tools (TASCAR) at LAC2012 and LAC2015, the configuration files used for this piece and all the tools can be found here: https://github.com/gisogrimm/tascar/blob/master/examples/picforth.tsc We also have a 6th order horizontal Ambisonics track of this video available for download: http://orlandoviols.de/picforth_clip5_hoa2d.wav (FuMa normalization, ACN channel sequence). Enjoy! Giso

[ANN] Introducing ardour2fxp

by Christopher Arndt

ardour2fpx ========== Convert an Ardour VST presets XML file to VST2 FXP preset files. What is it? The Open Source DAW Ardour saves user presets for VST plugins in its own XML format. Unfortunately, most proprietary DAWs expect presets for VST2 plugins as FXP files. This makes it very hard to share presets for VST2 plugins between users of Ardour and those propietary DAWs. The ardour2fxp script converts Ardour VST preset files to FXP preset files, so they can be imported when using the same plug-ins in another DAW. Where to get it? https://github.com/SpotlightKid/ardour2fxp or via pip: pip install ardour2fxp How to use? After installation, the ardour2fxp script can be used like this: ardour2fxp ~/.config/ardour5/presets/vst-1094861636 my-presets This will create an FXP (extension .fxp) file for every preset in the Ardour preset file (vst-1094861636 in the example above). FXP files will be put into sub-directories of the output directory given as the second command line argument (my-presets in the example). The FXP files will be named after the preset label (with spaces replaced with underscores) and the sub-directories will be named after the plug-in identifier (1094861636 -> "ABCD" in the example). *Share & Enjoy* Christopher Arndt

[ANN] caps-0.9.24

by Tim Goetze

http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html The latest release of the caps audio plugin suite contains a number of bug fixes and improvements as well as changes intended to make it more suitable for low-power systems. http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#CHANGES Most notably, support for a variety of little-used features has been dropped, reducing the binary size by roughly a third. There's also a new plugin implementing simplistic linear emulation of several guitar amplifier loudspeaker cabinets with reduced computational complexity: http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#CabinetIII The compressor plugins now report current gain reduction: http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#Compress http://quitte.de/dsp/caps_0.9.24.tar.bz2 Cheers, Tim

Synthfest Uk 2018

by Will Godfrey

I've posted about this various places, but seem to have forgotten here :( However, it's all good 'cos I keep remembering bits I'd forgotten about :) Some time ago I was again delighted to get an invite to set up a free stand for Yoshimi at Synthfest UK (now in it's 3rd year). This took place in Sheffield Saturday, 6th October. The event went very well. Better I think that last year. It was certainly bigger, and I think the visitors more clued up about what to expect. Our stand was well placed and also got more attention that last year. I'm sure the posters helped - you really couldn't miss them :) The posters were designed by one of Yoshimi's Little Band of Helpers, and a musician friend who was also attending the event has contacts with a digital printing company. They produced them at no cost - along with some flyers. As well as the main laptop on speakers, I had a netbook set up with a two octave mini-keyboard and a pair of phones. The people who tried it were really impressed with the performance on such a small setup. There was also some discussion about running Yoshimi on a Raspberry Pi - all housed in a small box with a minimal touch screen - Interesting idea. People are definitely less 'scared' of Linux these days, which is good, although again, there was some discussion about porting Yoshimi to the Mac. My attitude has always been that I'm fine with that and will help where I can, but know nothing about the architecture so wouldn't be able to do any of the work myself - especially as I'm still up to my eyeballs with work already :( I was surprised that nobody at all mooted the idea of a port to Windows. Another of YLBoH produced a pretty sophisticated backing track, playing on parts 18-28 while parts 1-16 were on Solo-TwoWay. It certainly got people's attention, as did the fact the whole lot was pulled in with just a Rosegarden file and a Yoshimi State file, so ideal for gigging. There were no blind people there this year, but one guy, who remembered the command line feature from last year, really liked the new extensions into the synth engines. The greatest, most pleasant surprise was the (fairly elderly) wife of a friend who was quite interested in the actual sound banks, and impressed with the reproduction quality. She is actually a folk musician and has always used real instruments, but seemed quite comfortable using the keyboard to play some of the piano-like sounds. Below are links to some photos I quickly took just as the event was about to open. I'll leave them on my website for a week or two. www.musically.me.uk/Photos/Synthfest2018/Synthfest2018_01.jpg www.musically.me.uk/Photos/Synthfest2018/Synthfest2018_02.jpg www.musically.me.uk/Photos/Synthfest2018/Synthfest2018_03.jpg www.musically.me.uk/Photos/Synthfest2018/Synthfest2018_04.jpg www.musically.me.uk/Photos/Synthfest2018/Synthfest2018_05.jpg www.musically.me.uk/Photos/Synthfest2018/Synthfest2018_06.jpg www.musically.me.uk/Photos/Synthfest2018/Synthfest2018_07.jpg www.musically.me.uk/Photos/Synthfest2018/Synthfest2018_08.jpg www.musically.me.uk/Photos/Synthfest2018/Synthfest2018_09.jpg -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
