[OT] Missing some LAU emails (initial messages)

by Lorenzo Sutton

Not sure if this is something only on my end, but I seem to have missed some recent 'initial' message threads from LAU such as "New Software: Tembro, All-in-one instrument (Sampler or Rompler)" [0], "[music] Pick me up" [1], "Lost soundfont" [2] Interestingly I did then correctly receive thread responses to these. I did check my spam and no trace in there (and LAU is in theory whitelisted since a while). I'm wondering if this might be some setting on my side (including ML settings, although I didn't change anything recently), some gmail quirk? I use Thunderbird as a client but I don't think that is relevant (or is it)? Any tip or help appreciated :-) Thanks!

Setting HDMI as default in asoundrc and getting Firefox to use this default

I tried adding a ctl stanza: ctl.!default { type hw card 0 device 7 } This doesn't affect aplay, but firefox doesn't output to headphones or HDMI with this setting in asoundrc. I welcome any suggestions to get firefox to default to the asoundrc setting. TIA, Joel -- Joel Roth

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 In Tembro Git, and all my other programs, I replaced autoconnect with a default-off setting (in the menus) to autoconnect the mixer etc. ports on startup. Nils

Lost soundfont

by Will Godfrey

I'm trying to recover an old project, and it uses a specific soundfont P51f.sf2 (not PC51f.sf2). I've somehow lost the copy of this I once had and can't seem to find it online. Any help most gratefully received. -- Will J Godfrey https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

[music] Pick me up

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, just some energetic analogue electro: https://youtu.be/EIOLr1RJuUo OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7a12zqzhmbmvi4u/pick_me_up.ogg Sound engines were all analogue, the drums were even sequenced in hardware, because the RD-8 allows for polymetric sequencing and has simple probability features, nothing that I have readily available in the box. Because of the analogue nature and heavy multitracking it required all the more attention in mixing and that was a joy! Feedback is welcome. 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 I believe We all have one true love Somewhere in this world <3 (Britney Spears)

New LV2 Plugin MetalTone released v0.1

by Hermann Meyer

MetalTone is modeled after the renowned BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone(*), a high gain distortion pedal with an advanced EQ section. It has standard active EQ controls with a massive 15dB of cut/boost range for the lows and highs. It also sports a parametric active EQ for the mids with two controls: the frequency, and the boost/cut amount. The midfreq parameter has a very wide range, going from 200Hz all the way to 5kHz. As a result, it's better to think of it simply as a single highly flexible active EQ, and disregard the idea that it's only for shaping the mids.

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/
