[ANN] The QStuff* End-of-Summer'23 Release batch #1

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello there! Here the first batch of the 'QStuff*': QjackCtl [1], Qsynth [2], Qsampler [3], QXGEdit [4], QmidiCtl [5] and QmidiNet [6], released for the (northern) End-of-Summer'23 season. Enjoy while it's still hot. ** QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface [1] ** QjackCtl 0.9.12 (end-of-summer'23) is out! QjackCtl is an aged yet modern, not so 'simple' anymore, Qt [7] application to control the JACK [8] sound server, for the Linux Audio [12] infrastructure. Change-log: - Setup: disable Settings parameters altogether, except frames/period (aka. buffer-size) if running in the so called 'Active' pure-client mode (eg. under PipeWire's pw-jack substitution). - Connections: Fixed an old JACK client/ports aliases malfunction, hopefully. - Graph: Ctrl+left or middle-button click-dragging for panning, is now a lot smoother, hopefully. - Graph: Click-dragging with the mouse middle-button is now used for panning only, not to start a selection anymore. - Preppings to next development cycle (Qt >= 6.6) Website: https://qjackctl.sourceforge.io http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net Project page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Downloads: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl/files - source tarball: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.12.tar.gz - source package: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.12-56.1.rncbc.suse.src.rpm - binary packages: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.12-56.1.rncbc.suse.x86_64.rpm - AppImage [20] package: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.12-56.1.x86_64.AppImage Git repos: https://git.code.sf.net/p/qjackctl/code https://github.com/rncbc/qjackctl.git https://gitlab.com/rncbc/qjackctl.git https://codeberg.com/rncbc/qjackctl.git ** Qsynth - A FluidSynth Qt GUI Interface [2] ** Qsynth 0.9.12 (end-of-summer'23) is out!

Oops!

by Will Godfrey

It seems those who switched from Github to Gitlab to escape from Microsoft may have jumped from the frying pan into the fire. I've just seen news on The Register that Gitlab is extending their 'partnership' with Google - I didn't even know there *was* a partnership. Interesting times :( -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

wav format metadata editor

by Will Godfrey

Can anyone suggest a program that can edit metadata in 24bit wav files.

pulse-jack inside of a vnc server

by drew Roberts

Does anyone know if you can run run pulseaudio (specifically the pulseaudio-module-jack stuff) inside of a vncserver session. If so, can you explain how you do it or provide a link to a document that explains the setup? I am on ubuntu (studio) 22.04 and using tightvnc server. Things run fine from my normal desktop on that machine but if I fire up the vnc server and connect to that, the pulse jack source and sink will not load properly for me. I am trying to do this with the dummy jack driver and would like to set it up so that it does not use the onboard sound via alsa. (Perhaps a dummy alsa card or ???) I want to get a sip phone or browser audio into my jack graph, so, if you know another way to get this done, great. I cannot find a sip phone that does jack audio. iirc, many years ago asterisk had an iax(2?) phone that could speak jack. long gone to my knowledge.) all the best, drew -- Enjoy the *Paradise Island Cam* playing *Bahamian Or Nuttin* - https://www.paradiseislandcam.com/

My entry for this months KVR contest

by Will Godfrey

https://www.kara-moon.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=8888.0;atta… Arram Koth is a fabled ancient city somewhere in deep space. Many have searched. Few have found it, and even fewer return. The concert was a one-off affair. The residents of all known civilizations were invited to send musicians to the city, and free travel was offered for the less advanced. To the disappointment of many, the denizens of a small blue planet failed to respond to any form of contact. Here is the finale where a representative of all the bands came together in an improvisation. Obviously it took a little while for them all to get in the 'zone'! -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

[music] Spotlight Kyd - Angel of Ice (MODX Mix) [Synthpop/Synthwave]

by Christopher Arndt

Here is some Synthpop / Synthwave made with a Yamaha MODX synthesizer / workstation and Ardour on Linux. [b]YouTube:[/b] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlOjdn0_TYE [b]SoundCloud:[/b] https://soundcloud.com/spotlightkid/angel-of-ice-modx-mix Composed, performed, recorded and produced by Christopher Arndt, 2022. I had a draft for this track for several years until I decided to finally finish it for a small performance I did at my own birthday last summer. Because I didn't want to use an audio backing track, it had to be done just using sounds from a Yamaha MODX (custom presets and some imported SFX samples I made with other hardware synths, e.g. the Waldorf Microwave XTk and Behringer Model-D). After the event, I basically took the arrangement for the internal sequencer of the MODX, which I had created as MIDI in Ardour, polished it a a bit, recorded it to separate tracks and mixed and mastered it in Ardour using various LV2 plugins as well. Then I procrastinated for another year until I finally managed to make a simple visualizer video for it now. The video was made with FOSS tools as well (Blender, Gimp, Shotcut): For the waveform player at the bottom I generated a waveform PNG with audiowaveform [1] with a transparent background and used Gimp and some layering/masking techniques to get the gradient effect. Then I imported the waveform image into Shotcut as a video layer. Lastly I put another layer on top of that, consisting of a semi-transparent black rectangle covering the whole waveform. I then animated the X position of that rectangle with keyframes, so it slides out to right side of the frame. The frequency spectrum animation under the title is a built-in effect of Shotcut. The retro sunset animation was created in Blender. *Share & Enjoy!* Chris [1] https://github.com/bbc/audiowaveform
