Hey everyone! Released new album, produced on Linux, using Carla. Qtractor and Zyn. Parts of tracks had been made with FL Studio, running under WINE, but final mixing was done in Qtractor. Track 2 fully made in FL Studio and is an older unreleased work. "Flying over Rostov airport" is one of my most popular singles on Soma.fm and the first track I ever did using Linux Audio back in 2009. "Landscapes From Above" is a new composition. Listen and/or buy flac versions: https://louigi.bandcamp.com/album/landscapes-from-above -- Louigi Verona http://www.louigiverona.com/

Novation Impulse 25?

by Paul Coccoli

Anyone have experience with this MIDI controller? I'm wondering if any of the extra bells-and-whistles (that I assume don't work on Linux) get in the way. I'm primarily interested in it for the knobs and pedal inputs. Not many seem to have expression pedal inputs these days.

Scripting jackd connections

by worik

Friends Apologies if this has been asked and answered already but I can find no solutns. My jackd set up is quite idiosyncratic. When I plug in my external sound gear I have to change the connections each time to get sound out. I also use a variety of gear from the same computer each with its own requirements. I would like to be able to write a script that would start up jackd, set the default sound IO to use jackd (I am on Ubuntu Studio) start a couple of other applications and change the connections. The man page for jackd is not much help. I have found some pages that have part of the answer (e.., http://www.64studio.com/node/740) but surely there is some direct way of manipulating jackd connections without a mouse and GUI?

Yoshimi 1.4.0 Diamond Dove

by Will Godfrey

About 18 months ago vector control became a 'thing' for Yoshimi and later, was first demonstrated to a handful of people at LAC 2015. At that time it was only accessible via NRPNs. Then about 6 months ago it became available to command line users as well, and 3 months ago vector saving and loading became possible. Now however, there is a shiny new window so the poor disadvantaged pointer-pushers can also have full control. This is currently reached via the 'Yoshimi' tab, but we may move it to its own button. Also, saving and loading vectors is now preserved in the recent histories file so you can quickly restore these - the same as you can for saved patch sets, scales and states. Vector entry via NRPNs and the CLI have also been upgraded slightly, so they will now automatically set the right number of parts available, and enable the required ones with the correct incoming channel number. A new concept is shortform NRPNs. This is where instead of the NRPN setting up for data entry of values, the NRPN is of itself the entire command. With a suitable sequencer like Rosegarden, you start with a two byte MSB/LSB value, then only need to enter single byte LSB CCs to change the setting. See doc/Shortform_NRPN.txt This came about through discussion after my demo of channel switching on MiniLAC2016. The idea was liked, but having to mess about with multiple NRPNs and their data settings was a fiddle. Some other usability enhancements: Some people don't like our splash window - Boo! You can now disable it in settings {mutter}{mutter} Many people didn't realise there were two types of resonance interpolation, determined by whether you click the left or right mouse button. This has now been split into two with better tooltips. Jack audio autoconnect is now configurable in the GUI and stored so you don't have to set it with a startup argument. In MIDI settings you can now tell Yoshimi to ignore the 'reset all controllers' message - various bits of hardware and software can send these at the most inappropriate times. A right click on a button for a child window now closes the parent and a right click on that child's close button re-opens the parent. Use this a few times and you'll wonder how you managed without. Actually, this has been possible for a long time with Root/Bank/Instrument windows :) A right click on the track of any slider, or on any rotary knob will return it to its home position. There has been some shuffling in the GUI to make the different windows more consistent and easier to recognise. This has also enabled us to increase the size of the smallest control knobs. Most sliders are now indented - it makes them more obvious. Scroll wheel behaviour on both knobs and sliders has also been adjusted to be more consistent. By itself movement is pretty fast, but hold down the ctrl key, and you'll get very fine resolution. Other matters: Yoshimi now has a build number, and this appears in the startup log. That's probably only of interest to those building the master, or for reporting bugs - whatever they are :P Actually, there are the usual bugfixes (ancient and modern) and we've also made a small improvement in the way we handle an all-jack environment. The compatibility work we did for V1.3.8 ensured the all-important instrument files were correct, but we didn't have time to implement all of the controls. These are now in place. There is more development on-going with considerable improvements pencilled in for the next release. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.7.5 - The Tenth beta is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hiya! The 'Vee One Suite' aka. 'the gang of three' old-school 'homebrew' software instruments, respectively synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer and drumkv1 [3] as one drum-kit sampler, are here released once again, now in their tenth reincarnation. All still available in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK [4] client with JACK-session, NSM [5] (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA [6] MIDI input support; - a LV2 [7] instrument plug-in. The esoteric change-log goes like this: - LV2 Patch property parameters and Worker/Schedule support are now finally in place, allowing for sample file path selections from generic user interfaces (applies to samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). - All changes to most continuous parameter values are now smoothed to a fast but finite slew rate. - All BPM sync options to current transport (Auto) have been refactored to new special minimum value (which is now zero). - In compliance to the LV2 spec. MIDI Controllers now affect cached parameter values only, via shadow ports, instead of input control ports directly, mitigating their read-only restriction. - Make sure LV2 plug-in state is properly reset on restore. - Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks). The Vee One Suite are free, open-source Linux Audio [9] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [8] version 2 or later.

KVR June competition

by Will Godfrey

This month were are challenged to compose a tribute to our favourite past musician/composer, but not necessarily in their style. This is something I felt I really *must* join in, so worked quickly (for me) so there was no chance of me prevaricating and running out of time. That, combined with the strict time limit of 3 minutes, meant that I'm not entirely happy with the result, so may well revisit it later. The title says it all I think. https://archive.org/download/BitsAndPieces/1606_folderol_Thankyou_Mr_Tomita… P.S. That finale really *needs* a good bass response :) -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Re: [LAU] Why, Phil? #06 Qtractor : RockBand Drums in DrumGizmo

by Glen MacArthur

Hi, Another great job! Minor nitpick, The drumgizmo developer with the quick shot in the video is Bent Bisballe Nyeng not Lars. I'm about 93% sure :)... Anyway great work and a great, well-deserved feature of the work of the DG team. Keep it up!
