[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.16 - QStuff* Summer'20 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings One third and last time around... Qtractor 0.9.16 (summer'20) is out! Change-log: - Experimental / High resolution plugin automation (14-bit) options is now also removed from View > Options... > Plugins dialog. - Audio Clip / Export... now takes into account custom fixed gain property (shamefully missing for the whole last decade to date). - Finally indulged on dummy LV2 plug-in CVPort support, just to avoid certain immediate and sudden crashes when inserting those kind of 'non-functional' plugins accidentally. - Bring the Track Export dialog down to Clip Merge/Export as well, for optional file type and format selection. - When enabled, do auto-save upon adding or inserting a new plugin. - Make sure LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 native support is selected first by default on top to libsuil. - Both out-of-process plugin inventory scan and LV2 Dynamic manifest options have been removed from View > Options... > Plugins dialog. - Fixed deprecated stuff on an early preparation for Qt6. 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.

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.16 - QStuff* Summer'20 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, one more time! The 'Vee One Suite' of so called '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 released as the second bunch of the 'QStuff*' for the (Northern) Summer'20 season and then bumped to **version 0.9.16**. All (still) delivered in dual form: - the pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (New Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - the LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Nothing much this time around, just some janitorial nitpicking: - Fixed deprecated stuff on an early preparation for Qt6. 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. And here they are one more time and again: **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.16 (summer'20) is out! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

SoundTracker 1.0.1 released

by Yury Alyaev

Hi all! I have decided to release finally SoundTracker v1.0.1. Lacking feedback after the 1.0.1-pre1 release I had to spent enough time to test it thoroughly. During this testing, I have found and fixed numerous bugs. Now ST seems to be matured enough to be released. You can download it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/soundtracker/files/ 1.0.1 release contains no new features compared to 1.0.1-pre1, it is the bugfixing release only. So its list of features is the same as for 1.0.1-pre1: Regards, Yury. What is new in soundtracker-1.0.1 (29-Jul-2020): * Improved mouse usage in the instrument editor (yaliaev) * Indication of pressed keys in the instrument editor (yaliaev) * Better look of the scopes (yaliaev) * Record indicator in the sampling monitor (yaliaev) * More configurable colors (yaliaev) * Logarithmic scale of the amplification slider; numeric entry in addition to the slider; ability to determine the optimal amplification (yaliaev) * Extended editor on the module info page with functions of exchanging and copying samples and instruments, mixing samples and tuning a sample using another one as a reference (yaliaev) * Different selection modes in tracker, selection can be extended with SHIFT (yaliaev) * A new method of waveforms' drawing in the sample displays in addition to the existing one (yaliaev) * Automatic file extension adding (optional) (yaliaev) * More convenient keybindings; new keybindings are added (see README) (yaliaev) * Some more keys are made configurable including that for song / pattern playback (yaliaev) * New playing modes are added: Playing selected block and Playng from cursor, playback looping control (yaliaev) * Facility for loading somewhat broken modules (yaliaev) * Stepping volume / FX parameter with mouse wheel (yaliaev) * Improved export to audio file (yaliaev) * Volume column can be displayed like in FT2, with letters, mnemonics and optional decimal volume representation (yaliaev) * Jack input driver (yaliaev) * Improved live recording using PC keyboard: better key pressing / releasing times are recorded using FXes (yaliaev) * Some other small improvements (GUI, usability) (yaliaev) * Some bugfixes including the CPU overhead with graphics (yaliaev)

split sound card into multiple cards

by Matt Zagrabelny

Hello, I've read that ALSA can split a sound card with multiple physical channels into separate "sound cards" within the system. Is that possible? I've searched the internet for examples but could not find definitive help. I have a: $ grep -i delta /proc/asound/cards 1 [M1010 ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Delta 1010 M Audio Delta 1010 at 0xc8a0, irq 16 which has 8 physical input ports and 8 physical output ports. Also, is it possible to switch input ports to be output ports with ALSA commands? Thanks for any help or insight. -m

Ambisonics microphone for Linux

by Michael Jarosch

Hi! I'm looking for a ambisonics recording option for a theater project. I would rent a microphone but it's my first ambisonics-project and I would feel save if I can repeat a recording any time I want. These points are on my list: * First order ambisonics (guess, I can't afford anything else) * not tooooo expensive (well, as cheap as it can be for an acceptable quality) * works with linux (I'm not learning another OS for that!) Guess I haven't so much variety to choose from… The microphones I know are: * Sennheiser Ambeo VR Mic * Zoom H3-VR * Sound-Core Tetramic The price for the Zoom is really pretty as there is also a mobile (!) recorder coming with it, but I haven't heard any statement from anyone if it's usable with linux. Same is true for the Sennheiser. And it's expensive. But maybe they're selling lots of units as the manufacturer is well known for its decent quality and I can get a good price on the second hand market. So, there's the Tetramic left. I know, there are Linux tools for it, which are just working. But I don't know, where to buy it in germany… Maybe Fons' TetraProc can also be used with other microphones? If yes: Any suggestions for another mic? Greets! Mitsch

Scarlett 3rd gen glitches (again) + Raspi 4

by Iain Mott

Hi list, I have a Focusrite Scarlett 3rd Gen interface that is producing audio glitches with a Raspberry Pi 4 running a realtime kernel (or not). I had similar problems on a laptop and on a desktop. On the laptop however it now runs perfectly with the very latest Linux Mint and the standard kernel. On my desktop I get acceptable results with AV Linux although haven't tried it with the latest Mint. There are no error messages reported or overruns, just glitches which are independent of buffer sizes and sample rates. The kernel installation procedure that I used for the Pi 4 is here: https://lemariva.com/blog/2019/09/raspberry-pi-4b-preempt-rt-kernel-419y-pe… and the actual kernel that I built is: 4.19.71-rt24-v7l+ Can suggest some things to try? Thanks a lot. Iain
