Re: [LAU] New Software: Tembro, All-in-one instrument (Sampler or Rompler)

by Laborejo Software Suite

>Contrary to what you may think, setting up a system like this is quite >common in 'proaudio'. Wich means it is absolutely insane to autoconnect >any application that does not even have a volume control to such an output. I think it is possible to discuss this manner in a less agitated way. Ardour has jack autoconnect, Qtractor has autoconnect. In Ardour for the very same usecase, which is even named the same: "Auditioner". "Contrary to what you may think" this is not a bad comparison because one is a sampler and the others are DAWs. All of them produce sound, all of them have no sound ready when you start a new project. And Tembro indeed has volume controls. One for the auditioner port and a one for the mixer port, for each instrument. The individual instrument outputs have no volume controls, and they are not autoconnected. >NOT connecting should be the default. I am not against this. But convenience and a quick setup *are* important.

Re: [LAU] New Software: Tembro, All-in-one instrument (Sampler or Rompler)

by Laborejo Software Suite

Hello list, >Any way to tell it once and for all to NOT autoconnect to system:* ? >FA 1) If you start Tembro via NSM there will be no connections made, at all. 2) If you start it standalone it will connect the auditioner port, which is very much intended, and the summing stereo channels. I consider both of these non-proaudio preview options, where you want quick results. The real ports, which are individual instrument outputs, are never auto-connected. 3) That said, to make this behaviour optional, saved in ~/.config and with a command line switch, is already on my todo list. Next release. I hope this answers the questions. Yours, Nils

New Software: Tembro, All-in-one instrument (Sampler or Rompler)

by Laborejo Software Suite

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the first release of Tembro, the all-in-one instrument. Tembro (which is Esperanto for musical "Timbre") is a virtual software instrument based on samples. All instruments are permanently built-in, there is no option to load your own files. New instruments are only added with new releases, old ones are never removed. That makes Tembro reliable, predictable, portable and compatible. All projects and all users have the same "instrument" with the same instrument sounds, numbering system, midi controls… ; a solid basis for communication and collaboration. To indicate this initial release we start with version number 0.5.0. The majority of the envisioned feature set is implemented, but there is still a lot to do. Feedback is very much welcome. It is released under GPLv3. You can find all releases as sources here. Also check your distribution for packages in a few days after this announcement, please. https://laborejo.org/downloads/ Greetings, Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org/

[ANN] Announcing the Unofficial Pro-Audio Arch Package Repository (Beta Phase)

by Christopher Arndt

# Announcing the Unofficial Pro-Audio Arch Package Repository (Beta Phase) ## Where? <https://arch.osamc.de/> ## What? An actively maintained binary package repo for Arch Linux of free and open source pro-audio software. The repository only provides packages that are not already in the official Arch Linux repository. The repository is maintained and tested for both x86_64 and aarch64 (Arch Linux ARM) architectures. ## Why? 1. We are convinced that Arch Linux is currently the best free platform for audio production and we want to help improving it further. 2. Having more up-to-date and easy to install packages of useful audio production software is always a good thing. 3. The pro-audio packages in the `extra` and `community` package repositories are currently maintained by only one person. We want to distribute the workload and spread the packing expertise between more people and decrease the "bus-factor". 4. We want to create packages, which can eventually be migrated to the official repositories with no or minimal changes. We do not intend to duplicate the packaging efforts from the official repos. ## How? See the web site for instructions on how to add the repository to your Arch System (or derivatives). The repository is also listed on the [Unofficial user repositories] page on the Arch Wiki. We are still stabilizing the build process and packaging conventions. While this is going on, we consider the repository to be in a *Beta quality stage*. We currently have around two dozen projects packaged and ready to install and plan to add many more over time. We try to announce important changes on IRC (`#archlinux-proaudio` on `irc.libera.chat`) and always keep the information on the Arch Wiki page up to date. **Note:** *Our build process is currently not based on the official Arch Linux `devtools`, but we adhere strictly to the Arch Packaging guidelines and test all package builds via our CI. With the Arch Packaging infrastructure expected to evolve significantly in the near future, we plan to adapt our tooling to whatever the outcome of that will be. ## Contributing Contributions are welcome! To suggest software for inclusion in the repo open a GitHub issue. ### PKGBUILD and CI Code Repository and Issue Tracker: https://github.com/osam-cologne/archlinux-proaudio ### Team-Chat Discussion and coordination of the project happens on the Sonoj Rocket Chat instance. If you are interested in helping out or have questions or suggestions, join the general chat room (no registration required, English): <https://chat.sonoj.org/channel/english> [Unofficial user repositories]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories#proaudio

Release: Agordejo (NSM GUI) Version 0.4.0

by Laborejo Software Suite

Ladies and Gentlemen, hereby the Laborejo Software Suite announces a feature-release. You can now download Agordejo in version 0.4.0 https://laborejo.org/downloads/agordejo-0.4.0.tar.gz Signature : https://laborejo.org/downloads/agordejo-0.4.0.tar.gz.sig All software is released under GPLv3. Agordejo (Esperanto: 'place to set things up') is a music production session manager. It is used to start your programs, remember their (JACK) interconnections and make your life easier in general. It does not re-invent the wheel but instead uses the New-Session-Manager daemon and enhances it with some tricks of its own, that always remain 100% compatible with the original sessions. Changelog Highlights: * Initial startup-check for old $HOME session root vs new XDG root. (nsm 1.6.0) * Offers to move the session files to the new location. * Support nsmd 1.6.0 lockfiles. Older nsmd versions still work. * On startup give a choice to connect to an already running session (nsmd 1.6.0) * Remove internal program- and icon-database and replace with dynamic XDG based lookup. * pyxdg >=0.27 is now a dependency https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pyxdg/ * Add a nsm-data desktop file with nsm tags and "no-display", so it can be found by Agordejo. You can find all releases as sources here. https://laborejo.org/downloads Also check your distribution for packages in a few days after this announcement, please. For more information, a multi-language user manual, build instructions and git access please visit https://www.laborejo.org/agordejo P.S. New Session Manager also had a new release today: https://jackaudio.org/news/2022/04/15/new-session-manager-v160.html Greetings, Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org

Subscribing woes

by Francesco Ariis

Hello LAUs, just a service message on subscribing to the ML. I joined via the web interface [1]. It took some time for the subscription to be effective (filled the form on March 22 – I received the confirmation around April 4). This message is just to point $listmaster (not sure if they received my messages) that maybe antispam filters/ procedures are a bit too tight! To everyone else: I am happy to be back, I recall some nice tracks being posted to this list —F [1] https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev/

Hello, I am looking for aeolus organ compilations from others ( http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/aeolus). Do any of you know instruments/sounds created with it, or have created some yourself? I already know the Kerry201118 from Organnery. Thank you very much.
