[LAU] [ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.2 - A Summer'18 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Awe! 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 here released for the northern Summer'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]. The mostly common change-log for the hot-season is as follows: - Frame-time display format option added to new offset, loop-start and loop-end spin-boxes. (applies to samplv1 [2] and also partially to drumkv1 [3]) - Sample start point (offset) added as a brand new property parameter. (samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only) - Add LV2 UI Resize extension data support. - Process MIDI Controlllers even though the channel filter is on (DEF Channel is set anything but "Omni"). - AppData/AppStream metadata is now settled under an all permisssive license (FSFAP). Also, let it be known here, that there are a few and notable contributions currently evolving on the user documentation area, as follows:<ul> - synthv1 [1] manual, by Wladimir J. van der Laan: https://gist.github.com/laanwj/a197c90789e9b8c67dc2 - samplv1 [2] manual, by Menno Kenevel: https://github.com/rncbc/samplv1/wiki/User-Manual - samplv1 [2] manual, by m4lez: https://github.com/rncbc/samplv1/files/2220022/manual.odt.zip Please help if you can ;) The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [9] version 2 or later.

[LAU] Official experimental and unsupported Linux builds for REAPER available

by Christopher Arndt

Hi all, the German Linux online news site pro-linux.de alerted me to the fact [1], that there are now official Linux builds for REAPER available for download on their download page [2]. The Linux builds are still "experimental and unsupported" and plug-in support exists only for Linux VST, not LV2 or LADSPA (yet?). I've downloaded and tried the 64-bit version on Arch Linux and played around with it a bit (not very much) and it looks as if it works rather well. I tried a few Linux VSTs and wrapping an LV2 plug-in with Carla-VST, which seemed to work well (I didn't test parameter recall, though). I'm curious about what experiences with REAPER for Linux other make / have made, so let's hear it.

The wrong time zone leads to bad file metadata. When you do automated processing with, say, Make and have created files with a future data, stuff will not work amicably. -- David Kastrup

[LAU] Faust conference: IFC 2018 videos are now online!

by Albert Graef

Hi everybody (and sorry for crossposting), as some of you may have noticed, IFC 2018 (the very first International Faust Conference) took place at the Johannes Gutenberg University at Mainz/Germany this week. It was a great conference IMHO, and if you couldn't attend, you can find videos of all the presentations and the Faust award on our YouTube channel now: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAr7dIdjRWkyZfeBU1nzOQg (If you have a YouTube account, please subscribe to the channel, then we might be able to get a nicer link in the future -- I think we need 100 subscriptions to be eligible for that.) All the videos are in a single playlist which is (mostly) in 1-1 correspondence with the program at http://www.ifc18.uni-mainz.de/#program. Click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yvbWtD0asY&list=PLS2hQ1I9cbi4WFVhcBIuD259B… Apologies for the subpar audio quality in some spots! While most of our equipment was working really well and our stream team (Sebastian and Wingel) did a marvelous job, our wireless mikes turned out to be rather crappy -- we'll do better next time. ;-) Enjoy! :) Albert -- Dr. Albert Gr"af Computer Music Research Group, JGU Mainz, Germany Email: aggraef(a)gmail.com WWW: https://plus.google.com/+AlbertGraef

[LAU] Are there benefits to running a USB 2.0 audio interface on a newer version port?

by hollundertee＠gmx.net

Hi, I've started to live stream a bit during the last year and just now added headphones to the mix. I started to wonder whether my audio interface can actually supply enough power to both a condenser mic and a pair of headphones. I figured out that newer USB standards allow for more power hungry devices, but does that in any way help with a USB 2.0 device? My interface is the same old Edirol UA-25 that I've been using for a couple of years now. It is USB 2.0 and bus powered. It needs to supply a Røde NT-1A with phantom power and drive my new AKG K702s at the same time. I noticed that I need to increase the output gain a fair bit to get a good level (roughly at 50%-60% whereas I have it at 20% with speakers). The rig I run this on I built last year, it is based on a ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS which provides USB 2.0, USB 3.0 as well as USB 3.1 ports (although I can't tell which USB 3.1, way to go on that naming scheme, my only explanation is they ran out of numbers). I don't have other gear to compare, do you think the UA-25 can handle it properly? Is it any help to plug it into a USB 3.0 or 3.1 port? Best Regards, Philipp

[LAU] New soundset for Prophet-12 (Linux-edited)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, it's not strictly on-topic, but I did organise and name all the sounds on my Linux machine, using a self-written set of commandline tools. Alas, they're still in a sorry state. :( http://juliencoder.de/sound/Jeannys_Genius-Prophet-12-1.0.zip Four soundsets (uploadable to every internal bank(s)), HTML documentation, including browsable lists of patches by soundset, sound type, sound colour, genre and synthesis method. As pleasant a software synthesizers are and as powerful as they may be, sometimes a "custom taillored" hardware UI makes sound design and performing a more pleasurable experience. I hope that someone can/will enjoy them. Best wishes, Jeanette -------- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c * Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeanette_c_s And when you say those words It's the sweetest thing I've ever heard <3 (Britney Spears)
