x42-plugins is a collection of cross platform LV2 audio/midi plugins,
currently featuring over 80 plugins from 11 repositories.

(sha1sum d37977c1a07f6d1a46e673614a2be47881cc7bce)
Changes since the last release (20150530)
* All plugins
- now have LV2 required version numbers
- feature built-in documentation/description
Plugin descriptions are now 100% spec conform and survived
pedantic inspection by the LV2 high inquisitor (falkTX ['s script]).
There have been various small build-system and packaging tweaks reported
by distros in the wake of the previous release last month.
Many thanks to Jaromir Mikes (debian), Edgar Aichinger (openSuSe) and
Filipe Coelho (KXstudio).
Likewise portability has been further improved. While developed an
targeted at GNU/Linux, all plugins now on run reliably on all major OS
and support over 20 CPU architectures.
Thanks to Jean-Luc Nest, Chris Goddart and Harrisonconsoles for QA on
OSX and Windows.
* sisco.lv2 (Simple Scope)
- allow to vertically align individual channels
* meters.lv2 (Audio Signal Meters)
- EBUr128 GUI: improved drawing performance (partial exposure)
- new Bit Meter (inspired by bitmeter the jack app)
- scalable GUI for the 30band 1/3 oct spectrum analyzer
- drawing improvements for the Goniometer "dot" mode.
* midifilter.lv2
- fix some invalid ranges min <= default <= max.
- remove units from port-names, use lv2:unit
* OSC controllable standalone jack applications (simple LV2 host)
are now compiled and deployed by default for the following:
+ x42-eq (mono + stereo variant)
+ x42-tuna
+ x42-meter (collection of all meter.lv2)
+ x42-mixtri (mixer/trigger pre-processor)
(x42-scope was previously available as standalone jack app)
- incl man-pages and --osc-doc built-it doc
- possibility to set initial port-values
- featuring port latency compensation

Kudos to Fons Adriaensen, some of the DSP code goes back to him and he
provided very valuable feedback and advise throughout the development of
what became x42-plugins over the years.
Also to David Robillard who laid the LV2 groundwork and made portable
free audio-plugins a possibility in the first place.
Last but not least, many thanks to libremusicproduction.com and
libregraphicsworld.org for continued support and publicity.
have fun,
robin

aplay, arecord, amidi, amixer and jack messages are essentially the same.
The difference is the order of the cards,
HDMI, PCH, USB in kernel 3.18.9 and
USB, HDMI, PCH in kernel 4.0.5
Below, after the uname, aplay, arecord, amidi and amixer output, the
qjackctl messages up to the point where I do get sound with guitarx in
kernel 3.18.9 and I don't with kernel 4.0.5 are listed.
if I switch jack to PCH, audio play and record works with both kernels.
Anyone else have a problem with Focusrite Scarlett and kernel 4.x ?
Should I submit a bug report, if so, where?

Sorry for posting on something non-FOSS but there has been enough talk on Bitwig over the years and that piece of software costs five times as much for me to not feel guilty...
Anyway I noticed Renoise has brought out Redux fairly recently. Thought I may have seen some chatter about it already as there is at least one Renoise user on the list and sure some of you used trackers back in their hayday.
Unfortunately Linux VST only but still maybe of interest to some of you...

I can't get an output with the 4.x kernels from my Focuserite Scarlett 18i8
(USB), the device works fine with 3.x kernels. I don't see any difference
with alsamixer, pulseaudio and jack settings, and input works with both. lsmod
for kernel 4.0.5-200.fc21.x86_64 inculdes snd_seq_midi_event, snd_seq_midi,
and x86_pkg_temp_thermal not listed in 3.18.9-201.rt5.1.fc21.ccrma.x86_64+rt.
Is this a kernel bug or is there something I need to do?

In general, the big thing with a digital mixer is lots of mic pre. You
have 16. The motu 8M has only 8 but is a class compliant USB2 IF and can
be controled by OSC (I downloaded the OSC spec out of interest) or by
browser. More pres could be added, but at the expense of lugging more
stuff around. I agree that for your purposes The digital mixer is probably
better. Certainly the remote gui for linux has got to be better than a
browser interface.
I have tried the linux mixer gui for the xr18 and it is better than any of
the browser gui I have tried. The android version is not as nice :P

G'day.
setBfree is a MIDI-controlled, software synthesizer designed to imitate
the sound and properties of the electromechanical organs and sound
modification devices that brought world-wide fame to the names and
products of Laurens Hammond and Don Leslie.
http://setbfree.orghttps://github.com/pantherb/setBfree
It's been over 18 months since the last release and setBfree just
reached another major milestone: It now features a proper GUI that
allows to configure various aspects that have previously only been
accessible via text config files (the config and program file-format
itself has not changed). The GUI is available as LV2 and standalone jack
application and the old tcl/tk prototype UI was removed for good.
visit https://vimeo.com/130633814 for a demo.
The 2nd big change was reworking the Leslie: The horn now spins
counter-clockwise (same as the real thing) and we finally managed to
track down the aliasing noise that was audible during acceleration and
deceleration. Since various users play guitar and some even cello
through it, an animated LV2 GUI was added for the whirl-speaker
emulation and it has also been made available as standalone jack client.
Advanced settings such as microphone angle, position, horn radius, etc
are now also exposed (both for the organ as well as the LV2). The UI
looks like
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pantherb/setBfree/master/doc/b_whirl.png
Other notable changes include new addition of presets for Kurzweil and
Korg CX3 and updates to portability (ARM-CPU/RPi, Windows + OSX
versions). The full list of over 300 changes since 0.7.5 is available as
git log.
Binaries for Intel platform, GNU/Linux, OSX and Windows are available
from https://github.com/pantherb/setBfree/releases/latest
though for Linux most distros will pick this up as usual.
Many thanks to Axel 'the C.L.A.' Müller and Jean-Luc Nest who provided
valuable feedback and inspiring music during the development cycle.
happy playing,

Great! I'll try to work through any issues posted in the next week, and
then we can do a bugfix release, and notify the debian maintainer of the
updates/fixes available after that?
To everybody interested in ShowQ - please take 5 minutes of your time and
