[LAU] Laborejo feature release 2.1.0, patch releases: Tembro (0.5.1) and Fluajho (1.7.3)

by Laborejo Software Suite

Ladies and Gentlemen, hereby the Laborejo Software Suite releases updates for its programs in the hope to be useful in your musical toolbox. You can now download Laborejo 2.1.0, Tembro 0.5.1 and Fluajho 1.7.3 The programs require a new version of our library, libcalfbox-lss-1.1.0 which is now also released. https://laborejo.org/downloads/laborejo-2.1.0.tar.gz https://laborejo.org/downloads/tembro-0.5.1.tar.gz https://laborejo.org/downloads/fluajho-1.7.3.tar.gz https://laborejo.org/downloads/libcalfbox-lss-1.1.0.tar.xz Laborejo (Esperanto: Workshop) is a MIDI sequencer based on classical music notation. Its main purpose is to compose and produce "traditional" music, such as instrumental pieces, soundtracks and other music normally played back by samplers. Working in Laborejo is very fast and efficient by using a combination of midi input and typing. Tembro (which is Esperanto for musical "Timbre") is a virtual software instrument based on samples. All instruments are permanently built-in. All projects and all users have the same setup, ideal for communication and collaboration. Fluajho (with jh as in pleasure) means fluid in Esperanto. It is a simple sf2 soundfont host/player for Linux. Behind the scenes the Fluidsynth library is at work, hence the name. Changelog Highlights: [All] Turn off auto connecting the audio ports. Replace with default-off menu setting to do so. [Laborejo]: * New function: custom key signature for any combination. * Add area in the GUI to set initial key signature, metrical instructions and clefs, accessed through the track editor * Add two new functions to paste directly transposed (modal and real transposition) * Add function to duplicate more often than once. * When not in F4-StepInput Mode use midi keyboard as pitch-cursor. * Add midi-in selector drop down, as seen in Tembro and Fluajho. * Add new widget that shows the current track as list of text items for easier navigation and overview * Rewrite grid, which was a performance drag in the past. * Add functions to move block to start or end of track. * Scroll view when dragging blocks and tracks with the mouse. * Block name font color is now always readable, no matter the background color * Shift+Up and Down will now select the current chord. * Add 3/2 to metrical instruction. * Add custom Multimeasure-Rest submenu and menu command. * Add multiplication buttons to the tick widget. * Autosave when exporting Lilypond .ly or PDF. * Command to quickly add text below or above a staff. * Allow menu commands in CC and Block view: PDF, .ly export, metadata edit, zoom. * Add buttons to create 1/10 new tracks to Track Editor. * Add information label with order of blocks to Track Editor. * Fix lilypond tempo export. Also add option to Lilypond Properties to not print metronome markings. * Optional text description for tempo items like "allegro" * Add Slurs to Lilypond output. * Add Staccato and Tenuto to Lilypond output. * Dynamic signatures and ramps are now output to Lilypond as well * Cleaner .ly export with more line breaks, comments and using more default ly instructions when available, instead of our custom generic-purpose scripts. * Settings menu to autoconnect metronome audio ports to system on startup. Default off. * Metronome audio outputs now use real metronome name, not only pretty name * Use lilypond title as jack pretty client name, if provided (needs libcalfbox-lss 1.1.0) * Add preview image to Lilypond properties and metadata * More information about the cursor and position in the status bar * Fix all drawn items to properly work with high zoom-out levels. Side effect: slightly better performance. * Better alignment for all drawn items. * Fix temporary tempo item creation crash, also don't export them to lilypond anymore. * Fix drawing of ties and staccato dots. * Fix ledger lines of added chord notes * Fix cursor jumping around on track change if you start near a metrical signature * Fix double saving of the score and quadruple saving of each track! :/ * Update German translation. You can find all releases as sources here. https://laborejo.org/downloads/ You also need our own library: https://git.laborejo.org/lss/libcalfbox-lss which has download and build instructions in it's readme. Also check your distribution for packages in a few days after this announcement, please.

[LAU] [music] I wanna

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, recently, the question of "summer songs" arose, so here's my contribution: https://youtu.be/0OW6Qa_CPgo OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ff0qzoj7cn0ona2/i_wanna.ogg On the Linux side I used Yoshimi, a lot of Csound and LinuxSampler. On the hardware side: the old Waldorf Microwave Xt for the main bass, Behringer Neutron for the layered sub-bass, RD-8 for 808 drums, Roland JV-1080 for the rest of the drums, 0-Coast for the pluck layer and the MiniBrute for the chord sequence. Csound came in very handy as my sidechain compressor and to perfect the chord sequence, by stereo width automation, delay, reverb and again sidechain compression to get the delay and reverb tails out of the way. :) Finally, Csound is responsible for the riser and the layered pitch corrected voice. If anyone's interested in the lyrics, I can post them too. Enjoy the hot nights!

[LAU] [MUSIC] Synth Prelude n. 3

by Lorenzo Sutton

This is n. 3 of my Synth Preludes. This one took a really long time to finish, and compared to the initial draft I had nearly one year ago, changed quite a lot as time passed and recent global events unfolded... Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/lorenzosu/synth-prelude-n-03 Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/synth_prelude_03 (includes direct download links for FLAC and Opus) Made with Yoshimi and Rosegarden on Linux. As usual thanks to all the developers of these two music applications and of all other Linux Audio ones in the 'ecosystem'. For anyone interested I've also made available all of the 'sources' for Synth Preludes here: https://gitlab.com/lorenzosu/synth-preludes/ Hope you enjoy. Lorenzo.

[LAU] Autotalent: questions about the parameter ranges and meaning

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I tried to use autotalent again and couldn't make it work. I'm using it from the commandline, so I only see the ports with their underlying numeric ranges. So I'd like to ask a few questions about meanings/mechanisms of the parameters. The note name parameters, i.e. A, Bb, B, ... what do these paremters do? Select a scale? So setting Bb to -1 will correct a detected Bb to A? "Output scale rotate (scale notes)" I can't make any sense of this one. The rest seems clear enough. When I've used it so far "pull to fixed pitch" has worked very well, as did formant warp. But the basic pitch correction I couldn't get to work. I did apply a good deal of compression before the plugin to make pitch detection easier, but to no avail. So I think I set some of the parameters incorrectly, didn't realise the interdependence of controls. I'd be very grateful if someone could help me find my feet with this plugin.

[LAU] XUiDesigner v0.4 released

by Hermann Meyer

I'm pleased to announce the release v0.4 of XUiDesigner A easy to use GUI generator/designer tool to create X11 based UI's for LV2 plugins. Inspired by Glade and QT Designer XUiDesigner allow to generate alternative UI's for existing LV2 plugins which could be installed and used parallel to the existing ones. It allow as well to create full LV2 plugin bundles from scratch, were only the dsp part needs to be done. With this version, it allow to generate LV2 plugin bundles from faust (*.dsp) files. Those could be simply drop on the XUiDesigner interface and XUiDesigner will create the UI for it. The UI could be reworked when needed (reorder the controls, implement colours or images, . . .) . Then the complete Bundle could be saved. All what needs to be done then is run |make && make install| on the bundle, to get the LV2 plug into the preferred LV2 host. Still this is in the beta stage, so there may be come changes which are not backward compatible, but the generated LV2 bundles are all fully working.

[LAU] [music] Hermann's mill

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, Here's Hermann's mill: https://youtu.be/1-HH60SABUk OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ft63mul5qey7isz/hermanns_mill.ogg First a big thanks to Fons for Aeolus and helping me with a preset file to change stops via MIDI. The inspiration for this was Philip Glass Music with changing parts. I'm not into minimal music, I don't have the patience or ability for the kind of trance. So I always waited for the "drop". I was always smitten though by the beginning of the piece. So working from that, I came up with hHermann's mill. The name is actually a bad musician's joke. :( At some point I use a chord progression collectively known as an omnibus. This particular one has a German name "Devil's mill". So I picked one devil that I could think of. It's definitely mr Meyer, whose Guitarix plugins I very much love! Other instruments used: Yoshimi for the synthesized organ, LinuxSampler for the trumpets and hardware: Behringer Neutron and Arturia Minibrute 2 for the synth basses and leads. Cool your heels in the dark of the cave and enjoy! :) Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c But now I'm stronger than yesterday <3 (Britney Spears)
