Hi all,
Further pre-release of SoundTracker 1.0.2 is ready. At this point I
announce feature-freeze; this means that mature 1.0.2 release will have
no new features compared with pre2, only possible bugfixes and
translation updates. So this pre-release has all facilities of ST-1.0.2
and I invite everyone to test it.
ST-1.0.2-pre2 can be downloaded here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/soundtracker/files/latest/download
Any feedback is welcome in SoundTracker mailing list:
soundtracker-discuss(a)lists.sourceforge.net
What is new in soundtracker-1.0.2-pre2 (26-Feb-2021):
* Clavier look is improved (selectable font, better keys' shape)
* Some keybindings are added to the Sample editor
* When moving an envelope point, pressing CTRL restricts movement to
either vertical or horizontal direction
* Polyphonic try mode is improved: user can switch on/off same note
retrigging on different channels
* Rendering of the song / pattern / track /block into a sample is
implemented
* Volume / FX interpolation is improved: added the facility to
interpolate matching effects only
* Whole sample (data + parameters) copying / pasting is implemented
* Volumes of all samples can be adjusted (multiplied) by a given value
at once
* Added an option to paste a block without cursor movement
* PulseAudio output driver
* Compatibility with FastTracker II is improved
* Some fixes and small improvements
I am deep down a rabbit hole trying to help someone with something that I
think should be simple.
I may be about to solve it in a convoluted way.
I need to be able to use jack-volume:
https://github.com/voidseg/jack-volume
to mute or unmute or raise or lower the volume on command (eventually from
a script, probably python.)
Has anyone ever used jack-volume before? Can anyone explain how it should
work? Test to see if they can get it to work?
Iiuc, it uses OSC to communicate from the (python) client to the
jack-volume (server).
I have never really used OSC either. Does the protocol contain acks that I
can look for with wireshark?
What else should I ask?
all the best,
drew

Enjoy the *Paradise Island Cam* playing
*Bahamian Or Nuttin* - https://www.paradiseislandcam.com/
Hey hey,
this is my latest song:
https://youtu.be/ypm4h8gD0s4
and for OGG download:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4o9red2nzjl3rex/arctic_80.ogg
The song was written as part of a challenge or competition by the DJs for
Climate Action (https://djs4ca.com) to use their sample pack, which was
created from sample of the Green Peace sound library. The sample pack contains
pure field recordings and loops and oneshots made from these. The competition
is still running till the end of February.
Talking to a friend just before beginning the song, we talked about the genre
of slaphouse, so I tried to encorporate something from slaphouse into this
track.
On the Linux side I used a lot of LinuxSampler, some Csound to create my riser
- based on samples - and Yoshimi the the rhythmic main pad. Though the rhythm
was created in my DAW, by automating the volume with an LFO.
Enjoy, feedback would be welcome!
Best wishes,
Jeanette

This is just a shout out to acknowledge the fact that there are a lot people out
there who, in spite of worries about home, family and jobs, in these especially
difficult times, *still* manage to significantly advance the software we all
rely on.
As one of the 'Idle Poor' (retired), I don't lose sight of the fact that this is
a considerable effort on their part, for which there are few thanks.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hi everyone
I’m experimenting with netjack (mainly version 1), and I’m quite impressed by
its ability to get different machines march together without (at least
apparently) hassle.
However I cannot find a way to transmit tempo changes from master machine to
slaves.
I’ll try to explain myself better: the “master machine” is a PC with a
soundcard, running JACK on a Linux Fedora OS, and is connected with the
“slaves” with a gigabit ethernet link. The “slaves” are currently two, but I
would like to expand this to a wider configuration, maybe with devices such as
Raspberry sharing the load of multiple synths, effects and so on.
The problem is that I can see the start/stop of the Jack transport synced
between the hosts, but not the tempo. This limits the use of applications
which do make use of tempo changes on slave hosts, forcing me to copy the
tempo map to them and run it in a DAW. As a side effect I can see the BBT
drifting between hosts (apparently its value is computed using the local tempo
mark).
Is there a way to solve this problem? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance
cheers

Hey hey,
the symphony of love illusive was written using the free Sonatina Symphonic
Orchestra (SSO) SFZ library in LinuxSampler. Only when the first two movements
were completed did I discover the Virtual Playing Orchestra and so I will have
to write something else symphonic some time soon. :)
(There are currently only Youtube links, no direct downloads, they will follow
within the next few days.)
Here are the four movements:
1. Allegro (Fantasia - possibly)
https://youtu.be/BC2RuiFDlOw
2. Molto Vivace (Scherzo - nearly and my pride and joy :) )
https://youtu.be/7vNi--527Sk
3. Larghetto (Lament - maybe)
https://youtu.be/-FiuTQRRVF4
4. Andante Moderato (Rondo - could be)
https://youtu.be/sdYGqnYhyxA
Feedback, as ever is appreciated. I know that I was only consistent in one
particular: I always broke the form. :)
Some more details: the whole symphony was recorded with the Sonatina Symphonic
Orchestra. The strings and brass were layered with some - self designed -
sounds from my Roland module, to flesh the sound out and have more of a
dynamic range available. The symphony was written in Midish, recorded straight
to Nama and only little processing was added, mostly to the sounds from the
hardware to match them with the software samples.
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hi!
So, i recently started streaming a lecture. The institution uses Discord
as a platform.
Using a strange mix of PulseAudio and JACK, i managed to get a configuration
running where I could stream my voice and the media from my slides (slides
were presented using chromium).
The problem is that discord seems to have some form of compression/auto-gain
that can't be turned off ... so to hear the sound from the videos (the quieter
parts especially) I had to crank them way up. But then, my voice was suddenly
way to low in volume.
So, my idea would be to have a mixer in JACK that allows me to mix my voice and
the streaming audio before it goes into discord (via the PulseAudio JACK Source),
and in addition allows me to put a compressor on the mix so that the streaming
audio and my voice will be at a good level.
Does anybody have a hint what could be a good tool here ?
Best,
Niklas
Hi List,
I recorded a workflow demonstration for Patroneo, the "Easy Pattern Sequencer"
The video is edited, but still a bit longer. But it should give a good impression how the software can be used.

I bought this keyboard controller based on the advert stating it was class
compliant, plug and play, Linux compatible.
However, I found that it starts up with a firmware update message, and apart
from Note On, Note Off, Channel Pressure, none of the controls work, not even
the ones designated for manually setting the others.
On conacting nektar for support, it took over 2 days for them to tell me that I
had to install the firmware.
WTF!
I've never heard of any hardware being effectively dead until you install
firmware. What's more, so much for supporting Linux, the software to install
the firmware is Windows or MacOs - nothing else.
I tried using Wine to get this done, but the software reports that it can't find
the keyboard. This is on Devuan Boewulf, which carries Wine V4.0.
I also tried grabbing a more recent version of Wine from wineHQ, but devuan
refused reporting an uninstallable dependency.
I'm very reluctant to try to install a VM, I'm running out of storage space,
and this is a working machine - I can't risk messing it about too much.
If it weren't for the pandemic lockdown situation I might have been able to go
to a Windows using friend for help, but this is out of the question for the
forseeable future.
Any suggestions?
