Hi all, The first pre-release of SoundTracker v1.0.5 is done. The main feature of 1.0.5 release is full support of stereo samples (MODPlug XM / XI extension), including conversion between mono and stereo samples and some specific editing functions. This pre-release also includes some less important updates and fixes. You can find more new features in NEWS file. SoundTracker download page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/soundtracker/files/ Regards, Yury.

SpectMorph 0.6.1

by Stefan Westerfeld

SpectMorph 0.6.1 has been released. The main changes are: - Instrument editor improvements - Support for multiple banks for WavSources - New standard instruments - The code is now hard RT capable - UI fixes for macOS What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be combined using morphing. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2.1 or later Integrating SpectMorph into your Work ------------------------------------- SpectMorph is currently available for Linux, Windows and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), with CLAP/LV2/VST plugins. Under Linux, there is also JACK Support. Links: ------ Website: http://www.spectmorph.org Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing between instruments. List of Changes in SpectMorph 0.6.1: ------------------------------------ #### Instrument Editor * Support click & drag sample to scroll & zoom (#22). * Support stereo to mono conversion when loading stereo samples (#14). * Add manual volume editing / normalization. * Implement automatic selection triggered by midi. #### New instruments * Bass Flute * Soprano Saxophone * Clarinet, Bass Clarinet * Tenor Trombone * Viola, Double Bass * Make samples and meta information for standard instruments available on github. #### Improvements * Support multiple banks for WavSources / instrument editor. * Avoid allocations in DSP thread to be hard RT capable. * Allow overriding analysis parameter for frame stepping to get higher time resolution. #### Fixes * Make UI work properly in Ableton Live (and possibly other hosts) on macOS. * Fix UI scaling problem on M1 macOS builds. * Fix crash if instrument editor is closed without any samples. * Fix cases of undefined behaviour. * Fix timing problems for long notes, reproduce long WavSource notes with exact tempo. * Fix use-after-free for outdated control events. * Fix freetype related memory leak. -- Stefan Westerfeld, http://space.twc.de/~stefan

sanitize midi files on command line?

by Peter P.

Hi list, I am looking for a program (ideally on the command line) that allows me to check for identical notes being retriggered before they have been turned off. In addition I wonder if such a tool could then correct note lengths to prevent this case? In addition, is there a similar tool for checking and repairing missing note-off events (hanging notes) within a midi file? I think I have checked all on this list https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/categories/midi_software but so far no solution found. Thanks for any ideas! Peter

Solo stringed instrument sounds

by David Sumbler

I am in the process of creating a MIDI version of some string quartet music. So far I have been using VPO solo strings sounds, but these are not very satisfactory even after editing the .sfz files to the best of my (limited) ability. VPO has some great sounds for string sections no doubt, but for solo instruments it is not so good. I downloaded an sf2 version of some solo string sounds and converted them to sfz, but found that they were very synthetic sounding. I have also downloaded the Philharmonia Orchestra samples. These are fairly comprehensive and sound good, but unfortunately the samples themselves are very short (typically only 1 or 2 seconds long), and I haven't been able to make satisfactory loops with them. Can anyone suggest where I might find some good quality solo string sounds? Ideally, as well as normal bowed and pizzicato sounds, I would like natural and artificial harmonics and open (i.e. unstopped) string sounds.

SoundTracker 1.0.4 released

by Yury Aliaev

Hi there, I have released SoundTracker v1.0.4. Comparing to the last pre-release, 1.0.3-pre2, it contains several important bugfixes, so I recommend everyone to upgrade. Its main revolutionary feature is a facility to process samples by any external program that can communicate through STDIO. The interaction with such a program is described used XML specs (not documented yet, but the comprehensive example: much of SOX functions, is included), so one need not recompile ST, only restart after adding new specs. Other main features of the 1.0.4 release are: * General: - Full-screen mode - Volume of all samples of an instrument / all samples in the module can be set to a value, not only gained. Also all samples panning can be adjusted. These functions can also modify the explicitly given values of volume / panning of notes in patterns - Improved compatibility with FastTracker, also MOD files are played more correctly - Unused patterns are listed in the Pattern Sequence Editor - Sampling rate can be specified while saving a sample as WAV - New module optimizer with many control parameters * Track Editor: - Moving notes up / down is implemented * Sample Editor: - The whole sample is drawn after recording - Exponential / reverse exponential volume fade transients * Instrument Editor: - Envelope inversion and shifting is implemented You can find more new features in NEWS file.

Programmable Audio Workshop (PAW-23), Lyon, France, Dec. 2, 2023 + Bonus Workshop on Faust -> FPGA

by Stéphane Letz

The Programmable Audio Workshop (PAW) is a yearly one day FREE event gathering members of the programmable audio community around scientific talks and hands-on workshops. The 2023 edition of PAW is hosted by the INRIA/INSA/GRAME-CNCM Emeraude Team at the Marie Curie Library of INSA Lyon (France) on December 2nd, 2023. The theme of this year's PAW is "Artificial Intelligence and Audio Programming Languages" with a strong focus on computer music languages (i.e., Faust, ChucK, and PureData). The main aim of PAW-23 is to give an overview of the various ways artificial intelligence is used and approached in the context of Domain Specific Languages (DSL) for real-time audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP). As a side event, we will also be organizing a "Faust/FPGA" workshop on Dec. 1, 2023 in Lyon. More information as well as the full program of these events are available at: https://paw.grame.fr We look forward to seeing you there and we remain at your disposal if you have any questions. Stéphane for the PAW-23 Team
