Hi, I've basically been using the same configuration (Arch/ALSA/Jack2) for years now and it's stable and everything, but I feel like I've been living under a rock when it comes to Linux Audio developments, so I thought I'd reach out and ask if there's any current developments that I should follow or toy around with ... Best, Niklas

Pipewire, jack-midi, alsa-midi, rendering, freewheeling etc.

by Lorenzo Sutton

As there are interesting discussions about pipewire. I'll go with a somewhat open question. I'm wondering how will 'MIDI' work and especially if an how will alsa-midi applications be able to happily and collaboratively :-) work with jack-midi ones (currently provided by a2j), potentially with some improvement? Would it facilitate the vision, which I tried to discuss sometimes on this list, about being able to interconnect 'any' midi application on Linux _and_ facilitate the faster-than-real-time generation (rendering) of a digital file/stream of what the user 'hears'? :-) It seems that now pipewire does support freewheeling [1], and (maybe) that could be promising?

Yoshimi crashing on startup

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I have just fired up Yoshimi and it crashed on startup. So I updated again from github and it still does with this message: [...] Yay! We're up and running :-) terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range' what(): vector::_M_range_check: __n (which is 0) >= this->size() (which is 0) Aborted (core dumped) This is reproducible on every startup. Can anyone reproduce this?

[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.24 - An Autumn'21 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello everybody, Qtractor 0.9.24 (autumn'21) is released! Change-log:: - A new option has been added to reset/resend all MIDI track/channel and buses controllers on playback start (cf. View/Options.../MIDI/Playback/Reset all controllers on playback start). - Whenever possible, avoid suggesting Save As... to an extracted archive/zip directory. - Fixed an old nasty mistake when renaming session names and then saving into an archive/zip bundle file (.qtz). - Fixed Mixer multi-row automatic layout consistency, when adding new or removing existing tracks or buses. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

[music] The queen is dead (synthetic orchestral piece, WITH fugue :) )

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I'd like to announce the release of "The queen is dead": https://youtu.be/otTwVsenZ0I or OGG audio download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p0wwhfdf9zzarbp/the_queen_is_dead.ogg There is also a "making off" or walkthrough, where I talk about the writing and production and my workflow/environment a little bit: https://youtu.be/TZBVGK_z0H0 You can further download the MIDI sequencing session, with pritned out MIDI file, LinuxSampler LSCP script and more here: http://juliencoder.de/sound/the_queen_is_dead.zip This song was written and produced as an entry for Loopop's "mega contest". The idea is to only use samples he recorded from unreleased synths at Superbooth 2021. No genre restrictions and the samples are available as SFZ and Decent Sampler, amonst others. The song itself meanders between soundtrack, romantic impression and clean baroque. The fugue is quite short, but it's there, in all its three voices. :) Plugins used: g2reverb, CAPS C* PlateX2, L/C/R delay, Glame Lowpass Filter and Glame Highpass Filter from the SWH plugin collection, TAP Stereo Echo, Chorus/Flanger, AutoPanner, Tube Warmth and Scaling Limiter, Calf Phaser LADSPA, Invada Compressor Stereo and 4-Band Parametric Filter (fil-plugins), Stereo Balance and Panner (ste-plugins) by Fons Adriaensen. This time there is a heap of automation and as usual quite a bit of parallel processing, either as parallel sends or multiband processing. Enjoy and 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 You should take me as I am 'Cause I can promise you Baby, what you see is what ytou get <3 (Britney Spears)

A most unwelcome release record :(

by Will Godfrey

There is a bugfix release up already V2.1.1.1 This is somewhat obscure in that it only affects a clean install and then only if it was compiled for CLI only i.e. no GUI and no config file -- 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.
