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 Patroneo version 2.1.0 . https://laborejo.org/downloads/patroneo-2.1.0.tar.gz All software is released under GPLv3. Patroneo (Esperanto: /Pattern/) is an easy to use, pattern based midi sequencer, a program that sends digital "notes" to software instruments such as synthesizers and samplers. Changelog Highlights: * Full Undo/Redo * Add track groups, which double as midi bus. This enhances overview for more complex projects. * Add option to follow the playhead in pattern view (or not), required by the much longer patterns. Also better scrolling and playhead is always visible now. * Add option to change the midi channel for a track in the tracks context menu. * Add View-Menu with options to maximize the two editor areas. * Add advanced feature for a global rhythm offset, meant for Jack-Transport. Allows the whole piece to begin later on the jack-timeline. 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/ For more information, a multi-language user manual, build instructions and git access please visit https://www.laborejo.org/patroneo/ Greetings, Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org/

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.20 - QStuff* Winter'21 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again! The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments, synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are here and again released as the second batch to the so called 'QStuff*' (boreal) Winter'21 release season. All delivered in the two usual forms: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non/New Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Changes for this release are just a few: - When under under the NSM auspices, fix SIGTERM handler on exit and just hide the main-window on close (applies to the JACK stand-alone only). - Fixed sample loop when the DCA EG is off or disabled (applies to samplv1 [2] only). The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later.

KX Studio Carla - which version or how to install

by adam

I'm looking for clear install instructions for Carla, with its Win VST bridge. Tracktion Waveform comes with few instrumental sounds (only "Collective", I believe) so I hope to use KXStudio's Carla to enable the use of Win VST instruments. Waveform 11.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 64bit, my CPU is Intel i5. Here a demo of Carla running a Win VST or plugin, is quite persuasive, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiaWozQ69eE On installing Carla on Ubuntu, one query and recommendation is here, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1035116/cannot-install-carla-on-ubuntu-18-04 KXStudio says first enable its repositories. So I've done that, https://kx.studio/Repositories Carla pre-compiled binaries and zipped source code to compile, are here, https://kx.studio/Applications:Carla Carla github install.md is here, perhaps this can make and install everything, https://github.com/falkTX/Carla/blob/master/INSTALL.md But here is what I don't understand, the 4 Carla variants listed; carla, carla-bridge-win, carla-git, carla-vst-wine https://kx.studio/Repositories:Applications Presently it looks like 'sudo apt install carla-git' is the 1st to try.

pros and cons for audio backends of 2nd sound card

by Athanasios Silis

Hi all, I am asking here because over the years I have not found convincing/detailed information in google about: Which audio adapter do you use to use a 2ndary sound card in jack? 1.jacl_load audioadapter 2. alsa_[in | out] ? 3. zita_[a2j | j2a] ? why do you use the one you use? What are its advantages ? Have you identified or do you know of any disadvantages for each of the above ? Do you have preferred options to minimize xruns ? Thank you in advance for your help Athanasios

Jack 1 vs. 2

by Brent Busby

This subject seems to come up occasionally... What is the current best practice with regard to Jack classic versus Jack 2? It's usually said that Jack 2 is optimized for SMP, but it's hard to find a machine these days that isn't SMP. Maybe the two projects are merging because of this? Because, Jack 1 hasn't gone away. In fact, the only version of jack-audio-connection-kit currently in Gentoo (no overlay) has a version string of 0.125.0-r1, and I presume that's Jack 1. I've got a local overlay with 1.9.12 that I've been using, so I can fight this of course...but should I? Is everyone being advised to move to Jack 1 now? For what it's worth in deciding, I prefer not to use dbus for control (or for anything at all, when I can avoid it), and I'm using QJackCtl as a frontend.

Low recording volume in Pulseaudio

by Antony Gelberg

Hi all, For the purposes of this discussion, I am playing guitar through an Axe-Fx II into a Behringer UMC1820 USB rack soundcard. OS is Xubuntu Focal 20.04. This works fine for general jamming, I can play a backing track from the computer and use the hardware monitoring to mix in the Axe-Fx as necessary. But when I want to record, the levels are low. I record using my Android phone, and activate Audacity to record the guitar tracks from the Axe-Fx. But the levels are so low, the waveform is tiny. I can apply a plugin to increase the volume, but you can imagine the quality. I see the same thing in the Pulseaudio Volume Control Input Devices tab, so it's not an Audacity issue. With jackd active, the input levels are fine, I can see them in Ardour. But I don't want to have to activate jack for more simple stuff like this, it's a pain. For what it's worth, the output level of the Axe-Fx is around 75%, and the input gain knobs on the soundcard at about 25%. Any higher and the clip lights come on when I play hard. Any clues on how to debug / fix this? I'm suspecting a driver issue, because there simply aren't that many moving parts. -- https:/linkedin.com/in/antgel https://resume.antgel.org/ https://about.me/antonygelberg https://antgel.org/

Yoshimi, SubSynth, PadSynth, MIDI Learn

by tom haddington

Hello, Listers-- I've successfully mapped two of my MIDI knobs to the filter's cutoff frequency controllers in both SubSynth and PadSynth. The problem is that in neither of these engines does the sound change continuously. The controller on the GUI moves when I twist the mapped MIDI knob, but I need to strike the key, again, to hear how the sound has changed. Apparently, filter sweeps are not allowed in either of these engines? This is not a problem in AddSynth. Some further details: OS: Ubuntu Studio 18.04, LTS Yoshimi: 1.7.4 Controller: Akai MPK88 Have I missed something? I will continue to search the manuals, lists, and other docs. Thank you! Tom

Weird behaviour with Calf Fluidsynth

by Bill Purvis

Hi, Does anyone use Calf FluidSynth? I have used it for ages now with my home-grown midi sequencer, but have noticed odd behaviour just lately. This is to do with sending Program Change events. My sequence (and the MIDI protocol) expect channels to be numbered 0 - 15, though most programs and physical devices tend to refer to these as 1 - 16. That's not a problem for me. What is a problem is Fluidsynth now seems to be treating 0 - 15 as 2 - 17? I'm trying to sort out a midi file for a friend - generated by a Windows Package - and the file has 4 tracks (not counting track 0) for Violinx3, Viola and Cello. The midifile treats these as channels 0 - 3, at least initially. However, Fluidsynth, which always starts up with Piano for all channels (except 10) sets channels 2,3,4 and 5 to these devices. I've got a program to monitor the midi events sent over Jack and this convinces me that the Program Change events are specifying the right channels, so I can only assume that Fluidsynth is mapping 0 - 3 onto 2 - 5, which sounds like a bug. As it happens it turns out that when the midifile want to witch to pizzicato, it switches to channels 4-7 (5-8 in user terms) but hasn't specified a program for those channels! I found the Calf website not very helpful about fluidsynth, and I don't really want to get signed up to another email list to discuss bugs in fluidsynth. Just wondered if anyone on this list had come across this. Bill -- +----------------------------------------+ | Bill Purvis | | email: bill(a)billp.org | +----------------------------------------+
