ov-client 0.20.2 has been released.
ovbox is a system for network music collaboration. It comes with
3D-audio, individual spatial mixes, built-in multi-channel audio
recorder and integration of DIY low-cost, low-delay head tracking.
The package "ov-client" consists of a command line and GUI client for
the ovbox system.
Packages are available for archlinux (new! Thanks to gri573),
debian/Ubuntu and MacOS, next to images for headless Raspberry Pi setups.

spectmorph-0.6.0 has been released.
The new main features are:
- SpectMorph now provides a CLAP plugin.
- A filter with different filter modes was added.
- A new, more flexible modulation system was added.
- SpectMorph now provides visual feedback for modulated parameters.
Video Tutorial for 0.6.0: https://youtu.be/watch?v=scKrf0o6e6k
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.

There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing
between instruments.

Hi
I've just implemented Scala support into Mamba (Virtual Midi keyboard
and Midi Live Looper for Jack Audio Connection Kit)
Those interested in microtonal tuning's could load a Scala tuning file
now via drag n' drop or via the file manager. The Keyboard layout will
reflect the tuning ratios of the loaded file.

Hi all,
The 0.7.0 release of QMidiArp now ships with new LV2 plugin UIs based on
the robtk toolkit by Robin Gareus for the first time. The UIs will get
installed in parallel to the original X11 UIs that were still based on
Qt. The new robtk plugin UIs are independent of Qt and do not link to
system-provided libraries whose API changes frequently. For building
them you need some new fellows though: glu, gl, cairo, pango and
pangocairo headers are now required. The cmake or configure script will
tell you.
Note that with the new UIs, arpgeggiator patterns cannot be edited. But,
the provided presets can of course be selected in the LV2 host. If
needed you can add new patterns for the LV2 Arp module manually by
editing the <lv2dir>/qmidiarp_arp.lv2/qmidiarp_arp.ttl file, presets are
at the end of the file. All other modules and functions should work as
before.
Enjoy

Amazing setup! I'm excited for 24ch wrapped into 1 device.

I have some boxes running old OS's (KxStudio 14.04, Ubuntu Studio 16.04
- which never see the internet) so I'm sure one of them, at least, will
support them :)

Hey hey,
I'd like to announce the release of Jeanny's Hits 1.0, a drum sample pack:
http://juliencoder.de/sound/jeannys_hits-1.0.zip
The sounds cover a variety of genres and needs, and certainly pack a punch. :)
The samples are sourced from Csound (Lawn kick 1/2, Lawn snare 1/2 and more)
as well as from analogue hardware instruments, including the Behringer RD-8
(analogue Roland TR-808 clone), the semi-modular Behringer Neutron and Aurturia
MiniBrute 2S as well as the Dave Smith Instruments (Sequential Circuits)
Prophet-12. the most extensively sampled is the RD-8 with different settings,
including a tuned kick over one octave. No digital post processing on that!
The samples are stored as WAV files, stereo, 16BIT, 48kHz and come with SFZ
wrappers to be easily loaded into many samplers. Almost all samples come with
round robin and/or velocity layers.
The analogue sounds were mostly edited within Csound and Nama using a mix of
LADSPA plugins.
Any donations are very much appreciated, if you can afford it and think the
collection is worth it. Find details on that in DONATION .
More info on sound groups (kits) and the simple SFZ files you can find in the
README file.
The pack is released under the GPL version 3, which should allow you to use it
within many different productions under a variety of commercial and
non-commercial licenses.
Best wishes and enjoy,
Jeanette

I have 2 ECHO Audiofire12 units.
They are in pristine condition and I just have no use for them. Linux audio
still supports firewire (I think), so they may be of use to someone.
If anyone is interested, you pay the shipping and duty. They are in the USA.
Admins: Feel free to remove this if it breaks the rules.

Hi,
I'm struggling with my jack setup again. I am running Devuan Chimaera
and the MB has a builtin sound chip (ALC887)
which works using just ALSA. I had an Audigy sound card, and Jack worked
OK with that. Longer term, I'll by using
a UDAC8 USB sound module, but it's not here at present, and I expected
to be able to simply switch the Jack output
device from the Audigy to the ALC877. I can play a test file through
ALSA (aplay test1.wav) which is OK, though
a bit low volume, but when I reconfigure jack to use it, I don;t get any
system output on QJackCtl, and jack-play
gives no sound, not surprising if there's no port to connect to.
Last resort is to put the Audigy card back in for now.
Bill
