Subject: [LAA] FSTHost 1.5
Date: Apr 9, 8:33 am 2013

Hi,

I want to announce FSTHost 1.5.0 version. FSTHost is fst sucessor - app for M$ Win VST plugins.

- Support Wine-LPA
- Support for window resize
- Handling case when Jack changed our client_name
- Support for "self MIDI Program Change message handling" (-P option)
- Do not process MIDI data if ports are disconnected
- Editor window is centered
- Buffering SysEx input messages and process them in non-RT thread
- MIDI channel filter redirect messages to first channel
- MIDI Filters - really simple window for build own filter chain
- JackTransport improvements (tested with T-C-M VST and Hydrogen as master)
- Support for 64 bit VST plugs

NOTE:
Starting from now make will build two separate app:
- fsthost32 - for 32bit plugins
- fsthost64 - for 64bit plugins (OFC only on amd64 OS)
"make install" should create also symlink fsthost -> fsthost32

Many thanks Jordan/Ninez for support/bug reports/ideas/etc.
Also thanks Wine-Devel guys for help with 64bit version,
and all people who report bugs.

Best Regards
Pawel / Xj

Subject: [LAA] Python Non-Session-Manager Client Module (version 0.1)
Date: Apr 4, 8:57 am 2013

Dear Developers,

I've written a convenience interface to implement Non Session Management as fast and easy as possible in Python 3 applications. It is no magic programming at all, but it makes things just that tiny bit easier that is required to actually implement something, and not only plan it.

The real work is to follow the rules of a managed system (see http://non.tuxfamily.org/nsm/API.html ). So implementing the technical side should be a no-brainer to let you focus on the actual task.

pynsmclient is open source under the GPL3 or later and can be found on my github page so you can start using it right away.

https://github.com/nilsgey/pynsmclient

I also have written a short article in my blog about that topic http://nilsgey.de/?id=24

Greetings,
Nils

Subject: [LAA] [ALPHA] ladspa.m.*
Date: Apr 3, 10:02 am 2013


Hi,

after a somewhat productive weekend I'm happy to announce some alpha
quality software (i.e. bug ridden, not feature complete) for your
consideration and feedback :)

But: release early, release often XD

I went a little overboard with modularization and separation of
concerns, so in the end it became four packages (with possibly one more
in the future - a LV2 plugin to load the synths/instruments).
Documentation is also very much lacking, but each package contains at
lease a single example file to illustrate the usage.



* ladspa.m - https://github.com/fps/ladspa.m

ladspa.m is a header only c++ library to build and run general synthesis
graphs made up out of LADSPA plugins. The interface is kept deliberately
kept simple and unsafe, as it is expected that one uses higher level
tools to build these synthesis graphs (e.g. using a library on top op
ladspa.m.swig or ladspa.m.proto).




* ladspa.m.swig - https://github.com/fps/ladspa.m.swig

ladspa.m.swig are SWIG generated python bindings for ladspa.m. This
allows building and running general synthesis graphs made up of LADSPA
plugins from within python. This requires ladspa.m. NOTE: I just saw
that the swig interface definition lacks the ability to connect outside
buffers onto plugin ports. This will be fixed in the next few days..




* ladspa.m.proto - https://github.com/fps/ladspa.m.proto

ladspa.m.proto contains google protobuf definitions for general
synthesis graphs made up of LADSPA plugins. It also contains a
definition for an instrument file format. This library does not depend
on either of the two above. It becomes useful with the last package
(ladspa.m.jack) and possibly in the future with an LV2 plugin to load
and run these (to be announced when done). The python bindings generated
for ladspa.m.proto can be used to generate synth and instrument files
that can be loaded by ladspa.m.jack. The instrument file definition
allows for polyphony while at the same time putting no constraints on
the inner structure of the instrument (each voice is made up out of
plugins, they can be identical or not between all voices)..

An example is included which defines a simple sawtooth instrument with
exponential envelopes and with 5 identical voices except for a different
delay setting on each voice.

https://github.com/fps/ladspa.m.proto/blob/master/example_instrument.py

Pipe its output into a file called e.g. instrument.pb. This you can then
load into ladspa.m.jack.instrument.

Here's a little example of the generated instrument file loaded into
ladspa.m.jack.instrument and playing a little 120bpm loop (from ardour3)
with it:

https://soundcloud.com/fps-2/t-m

This also highlights the need for a higher level interface on top of it
to ease the process..




* ladspa.m.jack - https://github.com/fps/ladspa.m.jack

ladspa.m.jack is a library which allows loading ladspa.m.proto synth and
instrument definition files into jack hosts that are provided as example
clients.

ladspa.m.jack.synth allows loading a synth definition file and run it in
the jack graph.

ladspa.m.jack.instrument allows loading an instrument definition file
and provides a midi in port which allows playing the synth.




But like I said this is all ALPHA software and I just announce it
because someone else might have fun with it. Please report all issues
that you find either per email to me, on LAD or LAU or on the issue
trackers of the github projects..

Have fun,
Flo

Subject: [LAA] Rivendell v2.5.0
Date: Apr 2, 12:14 am 2013

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.5.0. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License.

>From the NEWS file:
*** snip snip ***
If upgrading from a v1.x version of Rivendell, be sure to read the
'UPGRADING' file before proceeding for important information.

Changes:
LiveWire Virtual GPIO Driver. Added a fully native virtual GPIO
LiveWire driver for situations where the proprietary software
LiveWire/ALSA driver is not available (e.g. when using an ASI6x85
adapter). See 'SWITCHERS.txt' for details.

Console Channel Control. Added the capability to automate
console channel ON/OFF control bidirectionally from RDAirPlay.
(Configured in RDAdmin->ManageHosts->RDAirPlay).

Multiple bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details.

Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 220, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.

As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow
any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.

Change-log:

- Dropped old audio ramping spin-locks as its glitching reduction
weren't that effective anymore.
- Audio bus and track gain may now be set for amplification again, from
+0dB up to +6dB, while using the Mixer strip sliders/faders (an old
function found missing ever since pre-TYOQA).
- Basic LV2 X11 UI support has been added through libSUIL but only
really effective if plugins doesn't support the LV2 External UI
extension in addition which takes precedence on any case.
- Improved precision tolerance on the Tempo Map / Markers dialog.
- Reinstated and fixed (old) warning and impending re-conversion on
loading session files which the original sample-rate differs from
current audio device engine (aka. JACK).
- LV2 Plugin State/Preset name discrimination fix (after a ticket by
Jiri Prochaszka aka. Anchakor, thanks:)
- Linked/ref-counted audio clips must not overlap and now must have a
buffer-size worth of a gap between each other.
- Something fishy has been detected in the SSE (not so) optimized code
from SoundTouch's-inspired WSOLA time-stretching.
- Splitting clips apart is now easier than ever: a brand new entry
enters the main menu scene: Edit/Split (Ctrl+Y) splits up clips
according to current range/rectangular selection.
- Audio clip offsets are now properly corrected when time-stretching is
applied via Shift/Ctrl+dragging any of the clip edges.
- One semi-colon typo was hiding proper descrimination of peak files
used to draw distinct waveforms of time-stretched audio clips.
- Track automation curves are now also affected by Edit/Insert/Range
commands.
- Finally, some visual feedback is shown while audio track export is
running, in he form of a main status progress bar.
- New user option: save backup versions of existing session files.
- Default session directory now set to regular file's path on load.
- A convenient minimum slack duration has been fixed for MIDI SysEx
messages.
- LV2 Time/position information is now asynchronously fed back into
their parameter (control input) ports when designated.
- LV2 State is now properly restored for plugins inserted on buses,
probably solving the Calf Fluidsynth SoundFont information missing on
buses ticket, reported by Albert Graef, thanks.
- Fixed an immediate null pointer crash on creating a parentless new
group while on the files organizer widget.
- Preparations for future Qt5 migration.

Subject: [LAA] Laborejo Release 0.6 - Beta phase has started
Date: Mar 16, 10:31 am 2013

Laborejo, Esperanto for "Workshop", is used to craft music through notation. It is a Lilypond GUI front-end, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection to inspire and help you compose.

Laborejo 0.6 is released.

It now has an internal soundfont (and sfz) engine, comes with a lightweight General Midi sample set and supports jack midi outputs.
New Midi-In implementation.
Parameters and values for both engines are separated. You can use the same file for big orchestrated playback with gigabytes over gigabytes of sampled instruments and external synthesizers and maintain a parallel General Midi version which can be played back even if the samples are not there or running (laptop, work in a train, "just compose for 10 minutes", send it to friends for a preview etc.)

This marks the end of the Alpha phase and beginning of the Beta phase. That means the current features are enough to make and handle a reasonable range of music and notation and also that the save format is now stable. If you manage to save a file you will be able to load it in later versions.

Versions from now up to 1.0 will be only bug fixes and improvements:
Stability, Performance, Documentation, Convenience as well as Look&Feel.
(There are a few new features I would like to see in 1.0, but these are convenience features that do not disturb the save format or internal data format. Read-Only)
Documentation and Translation can now be based on a somewhat stable program. Yes, there will be documentation.
Cross Platform versions, stand-alone/portable packages and collaboration with distribution package maintainers is now on the Roadmap.

Subject: [LAA] Ardour 3.0 is released
Date: Mar 11, 9:39 am 2013

--bcaec554dbbe4a04c204d79cd2b8
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

The Ardour team is happy to announce the release of Ardour 3.0 for Linux
systems (OS X releases will follow in a few weeks)

This is the first release of Ardour that features support for MIDI
recording, playback and editing. It also features a huge number of
changes to audio workflow, which for many users may be more
significant than the MIDI support. For an overview of the changes,
please read the What's New page at http://ardour.org/whatsnew.html

Please Plan On Updating
-------------------------------

You should visit expect subsequent releases of 3.0 to follow at a
rapid rate. We plan to release a new version every 2-4 weeks. Since
3.0 has many areas that need to be improved in addition to actual
bugs, please plan on upgrading and keeping track of the program as it
develops. There is every chance that the problem you encounter today
will be solved in a short time.

No Need To Remove Other Versions
---------------------------------------------
This release can be installed on your system at the same time as any
previous or future version of Ardour. They will not interfere with
each other in anyway, except for possibly sharing your Ardour
preferences.

Working with 2.X Sessions
--------------------------------
Although Ardour 3.0 will open most sessions created with Ardour 2.X,
we recommend NOT working on such sessions with Ardour 3.0. Ardour 2.X
will continue to be available and may even see occasional maintainance
updates from time to time. If you have old sessions, continue to work
on them with Ardour 2.

If you insist on opening existing Ardour 2.X sessions with 3.0, be aware
that...

- a backup copy of the 2.X version of the session file will be created
- panning information will be lost
- crossfades may not precisely match their 2.X counterparts
- once you save a session in Ardour 3.0, Ardour 2.X will not be able
to open the main session file again. It will, however, be able to
use the backup that 3.0 created

Download
------------
As usual, you can get Ardour 3.0 from our Download page at

Subject: [LAA] Vee One Suite 0.3.2 - One third bug-fix release
Date: Mar 3, 5:23 pm 2013

hi again,

as they use to say--'round here at least--there's no second without a
third. So there it goes, yet another batch for the Vee One Suite of
old-school software instruments being thrown out to the wild. Usual
suspects include synthv1 [1], a polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 [2], a
polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 [3], a drum-kit sampler.

same as before, they come in a duality of forms:

- a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session and both JACK MIDI
and ALSA MIDI input support;
- a LV2 instrument plugin.

now, the (boring) bill of changes follows:

- pitch-bend, modwheel and LFO pitch range internal fixes.
- LV2 state save flags now forced to be portable POD.
- sustain/damper pedal switch (MIDI CC#64) support added. (synthv1, samplv1)
- color palette hack on Qt5 dark themes. (TESTING)

all free, open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms
of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

enjoy && have fun!

Subject: [LAA] Laborejo 0.5: Container, Collection, Parts
Date: Feb 27, 9:23 am 2013

Laborejo, Esperanto for "Workshop", is used to craft music through notation.
It is a Lilypond GUI frontend, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection to inspire and help you compose.
It works by reducing music-redundancy and by seperating layout and data.

Before you read the details make sure to connect to Laborejos Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus!
https://www.facebook.com/Laborejo
https://twitter.com/#!/Laborejo
https://plus.google.com/b/116744898976321238325/

Screenshot: http://www.laborejo.org/latestscreenshot.png
and: http://laborejo.org/Screenshots

This marks the release of version 0.5
Download: https://github.com/nilsgey/Laborejo/tarball/0.5
Dependencies: http://www.laborejo.org/Download

Linux Instructions: Unpack, cd into the created directoy, start the GUI Editor with:
./laborejo-qt
and the Collection Editor with:
./laborejo-collection-editor

Then use the number- and cursor keys for immediate success!
Check Help->Manual for navigational and note/rest entry keys. Everything else is in the menus.

Important New Features:
* Laborejo Collections: A new file format (.lbj), editable by the new GUI tool "Laborejo Collection Editor" or with a text-editor, because it is very easy.
* Combine several score files (.lbjs) into a bigger one during export: Multi-movement symphonies, songbooks, collections of your band songs in one pdf etc.
* Doesn't touch your actual music data but reformats for the new format and can add extra information like piece-numbering, transposition of the whole music and more.
* Load a lbj file in the standard Score editor to open all used .lbjs files.
* Can also combine several .lbjs scores into one, seamlessly. If you like to write long, progressive rock pieces with no breaks (in the music or pdf) you can still edit and keep them in separate pieces. Just keep the names of the tracks the same in each lbjs file.
* Can use different templates (Lilypond, Ardour3 etc. layout and style files) and override the original score file template.
* Part Extraction / Voice Extraction (aka. Custom Export):
* Create multiple PDFs or MIDI files from one .lbjs. Does not touch your music, all automated. Simply choose a parameter as extract basis (Track, Group, Instrument, a special Extract parameter for complete individual control [recommended]) and hit "Export".
* Can be combined with Collections! Combine your songs into a song collection and then export parts, one songbook/PDF for the guitarist, one songbook for the bassist. The singer and the drummer can't read notes, though.
* Collapse/Shrink Tracks to save space.
* Reverse Selections by 1.simply reverse order 2.reverse only pitch 3. reverse only rhythm
* Non-Transparent Containers. Can contain any objects, represented by a colored "block" in the GUI. Editable in its own windows. Screenshot: http://www.laborejo.org/dl3&display
* Edit any container (including transparent containers, whole tracks and substitutions) in its own tab.
* Mini Lilypond Parser so you can insert notes by a script, using Lilypond syntax (just the music, no ornaments, no scheme functions)
* And of course the usual GUI improvements, bug fixes and stability improvements.

Greetings,
Nils Gey

Please note that due to L2Ork's migration to 64-bit platform we may not
provide 32-bit builds as often until we set up Launchpad or some other
auto-building system. Until then, current release is available only as
64-bit. The source is buildable into deb as well as binary script-based
installer using a single command provided all dependencies are satisfied.

Jalv 1.4.0 is out. Jalv is a simple but fully featured LV2 host for
Jack. It runs LV2 plugins and exposes their ports as Jack ports,
essentially making any LV2 plugin function as a Jack application.

More about Jalv: http://drobilla.net/software/jalv

This version contains many significant improvements, upgrading is highly
recommended.

Changes:

* Send time information to plugin when Jack tempo changes
* Group controls under headings if port group information is available
* Add spinbuttons for precisely setting control values
* Use a more efficient dense layout for controls
* Make URI map thread-safe, fixing occasional crashes for
plugins with UIs
* Add menu bar and pass parent widget in Qt version for
true UI embedding
* Support state:loadDefaultState
* Update to waf 1.7.8 and autowaf r90

Enjoy,

Suil 0.6.12 is out. Suil is a lightweight C library for loading and
wrapping LV2 plugin UIs. Suil transparently presents UIs written in
