Hello LibraZiK-ies.

When I wrote last month's monthly report post, I had planned to finalize the entry as well as updates of several software and plug-ins designed for guitarists. It's done now and we'll see it in more details in this post.

Contrary to previous times when they were lower in the post, here are some tracks made with LibraZiK that I heard about this month. By putting them here, you will be able to read this monthly post while listening to these musics: le cri des anges by sub26nico BESAME MAMA by Agua afro cuban jazz odin by r1 made with odin2 (see below), r1 who did...

28 months after the first release (2018-09-15) the Laborejo Software Suite releases version 2.0.0 of Patroneo.

Patroneo (which is Esperanto for "Pattern") is an easy to use, pattern based midi sequencer, a program that sends digital "notes" to software instruments such as synthesizers and samplers.
You have tracks with one pattern each. Turn on steps in the pattern to play musical notes. Switch the patterns on and off in a sequence to create a song structure. Connect external synthesizers and samplers to create sounds.
Please see the attached screenshot.

The new features integrate seamlessly into the existing workflow.
Old save files can still be loaded.

1) Tracks can now have different pattern lengths, allowing much more complex music. For this a widget was added next to the track name.
2) Each individual Pattern can now have any number of pitches (was fixed to 8 pitches before)
3) The Loop range can now contain multiple measures. Added GUI control next to loop button. Reminder: Loop-range is for trial&error, not for production.
4) A swing slider for rhythm-groups of 2 and 4 is now available for that 90s Dance Feeling (or Swing!)

It is released under GPLv3.

No news on the blog since the January 30th post. A little more than three months then. Hope you weren't too scared!

The main reason is that I was in the LibraZiK-3 oven to fix (or try to fix) some annoying bugs (and most of them have been!) as well as to update the documentation.

In short, that's it, LibraZiK-3 is available for all users, French-speaking or not, and for amd64 (64-bit architecture) and i386 (32-bit PC architecture).

Hello LibraZiK-ies.

Since last month's monthly report post, things have been happening, of which the news on the website represent the majority of the work that has been done for LibraZiK during this month. That said, other things have also happened, and we'll see this together in this post.

The French translation of Guitarix, a guitar amp and effects simulation, had been abandoned several years ago. The visible consequence was that its graphical interface was half translated. Barely a third in fact. So I undertook a lot of work to redo this translation. To do so, I collaborated with Hermann, the main developer of Guitarix, who was... Lire LibraZiK news - December 2020

A Winter'20 Release.

Tidy up readme

Mamba is a Virtual MIDI Keyboard, a 16 Channel Live MIDI Looper and a MIDI File player for ALSA / Jack Audio Connection Kit

Release v2.0
Add recent file manager to have fast access to last used Sound-fonts and MIDI files
Allow to append/remove MIDI files to/from the master loop while playing (Recent file menu)
Implement 'View' menu to allow show/hide the MDID CC controllers and/or the Channel/Program/Instrument view.
Allow to select the key-size for the MIDI keyboard (Big/Normal/Small) to better match the screen settings.

• The A500 audio mode (press F12 or edit protracker.ini) now sounds much closer to a typical real A500, after hand-tweaking the filter cutoff and looking at many plotted frequency analyses (of sine sweeps). It would previously cut off too much treble, because the RC filter implementation is too imprecise at lower audio rates.

Bugfixes

• PICARD-2070 - Lookup on cluster only moves every other file
• PICARD-2071 - Track listings sometimes in reverse order

Features

• Set MDI key popup for instruments
• Export instrument kit to SFZ
• 16 stereo channels for standalone
• Autoconnect ports to system playback for standalone

Upgrading to this version is compatible with the previous version.

This is a small update to OpenMPT 1.29, focussing on correcting a number of playback bugs in imported formats:

• When entering a restart position that points to a non-playable order item, immediately show the corrected value when the input field loses focus.
• When inverting icons in high contrast / dark themes, only invert their brightness but keep the hue.
• Since OpenMPT 1.29.01.00, Note Off / Cut / Fade shortcuts were missing in new installations, when resetting keys to defaults or when importing very old OpenMPT keyboard configurations.
• Fix possible crash when resetting keyboard mapping while a separator item was focussed.
• MIDI Export: In "Melodic (any)" mode, exported MIDI channels were inconsistent between notes / tracker events and Zxx macros past channel 10.
• DMF: Support early format beta versions (in particular versions 1-4).
• MED: Support MIDI program change and custom MIDI commands.
• MED: Also use octave wrapping in 8-channel mode for MMD0/MMD1 modules. If 8-channel mode is activated, BPM mode is now ignored.
• MED: Emulate tempo commands F01 and F02 quirk. Tempo commands below 32 BPM are no longer interpreted as tempo slides.
• MED: Do not reject files with no instruments.
• MID: Relative RPN changes (in particular coarse tune) were

Hello LibraZiK-ies.

That's it, here the air stings severely in the mornings and we've gone negative during the night now. From memory, this is what we call winter. Winter also is lovely. Let's bet we'll get some nice frosts to calm down the itchy caterpillars because the itchy and scratchy spring ends are starting to bother me! In the meantime, feel free to play icy like Siberia things or warmy like the Sahara things, and if you want to be free, you might as well use free tools too!

And as if by magic, LibraZiK-3 is there for that and here are last month's news.

One month after the last monthly blog post, what has happened in LibraZiK-3 since then? There was the announcement about the new little software which displays tips at LibraZiK-3 start, then the announcement about the availability of a LibraZiK-3 live ISO which allows us to make a USB key on which we can boot to test LibraZiK-3 without installing...

A live-image is available now. It allows, at first, to test LibraZiK-3 on a USB key without installing it on a hard disk.

You can then use it to install LibraZiK-3 on a hard disk if you decide to do so.

This live version includes a pre-selection of several software, a set of pre-settings, and is designed to allow users to test LibraZiK-3 without installing it on a machine but by booting the system from a USB key. Two versions for 64bit hardware architecture are available. As for LibraZiK-2, there is a version in French and, as a novelty, there is... Lire LibraZiK-3 live

This is a small hotfix for yabridge-host.exe processes not closing properly when the VST host crashes or gets terminated prematurely. Please see the release notes for yabridge 2.0.0 for the rest of the changelog.

Fixed

• Fixed a regression where yabridge-host.exe would not exit on its own after the host crashes or gets terminated without being able to properly close all plugins.

Compatibility

The archive ending in -ubuntu-18.04.tar.gz is a compatibility release meant for older distros and is thus slightly larger in size. If you're using Ubuntu 18.04, Linux Mint 19, or any other distro that's older than Ubuntu 20.04, then you should use this archive instead of the regular release. Yabridgectl will run on any distro.

I'm very excited to finally be able to release this update. Most changes are under the hood, but with this update all outstanding compatibility issues and limitations that were a result of yabridge's implementation have been resolved. Most noticeably you now no longer have to set any options when using REAPER or Renoise. The communication rewrite in this update allows yabridge 2.0.0 to be the first VST bridge with a truly transparent one-to-one event handling model, which should allow for the best possible plugin and host compatibility. I spent the last few weeks testing a suite of plugins on a variety of different hosts to make sure that none of these changes caused any regressions, but please let me know if you do find any issues.

Added

• The way communication works in yabridge has been completely redesigned to be fully concurrent and to use additional threads as necessary. This was needed to allow yabridge to handle nested and mutually recursive function calls as well as several other edge cases a synchronous non-concurrent implementation would fail. What this boils down to is that yabridge became even faster, more responsive, and can now handle many scenarios that would previously require workarounds. The

• Fixed yet another issue where junk could be drawn after the loop end point in the sample data's waveform in the sample editor (if zoomed out)
• Fixed an issue with loading XMs with more than 128 instruments (OpenMPT etc). This only worked if the extra instruments were empty. Now it will properly load the extra instruments and discard them after the loading was complete (since we only support up to 128 instruments)
• Small code cleanup

MelMatchEQ is a profiling EQ in LV2 plugin format, using a 26-step Mel Frequency Band.

It can analyse the spectral profile of two sound sources and calculate the required EQ settings, which, when applied to the second sound source, makes its profile in the Mel spectrum match that of the first.

• Fixed two possible pattern length bugs while switching to a new, shorter pattern while the song is playing
• Mixer code cleanup (generates smaller code now)

A Fall'20 Release.

• The 4-tap cubic spline resampling interpolation has now been replaced with 8-tap windowed-sinc (polyphase) for better audio quality
• The mixer is now using 64-bit float precision instead of 32-bit float precision. We only mix up to 32 channels anyway, which is not very CPU intensive
• Volume/panning envelope interpolation is now using floating point precision instead of 8.8 fixed-point precision
• Fixed a bug where the scopes would not shut down if you triggered an instrument that is not allocated (empty)
• Small code cleanup

For more than a year, we have only brought you little bugfix updates to make OpenMPT 1.28 more stable and improve some details, while working on OpenMPT 1.29 at the same time. It took us way longer than expected, but now we are finally proud to release this new milestone, and it brings a great number of new features, improvements and bugfixes.

Here is a short summary of the most notable new features:

Breaking Changes:

• Support for Windows XP and Windows Vista has been dropped. Pre-SSE2 x86 CPUs are no longer supported. This includes Intel Pentium 3 and older, AMD Athlon XP and older and various other third-party CPUs.
• A portable installation of OpenMPT is now identified by the presence of a file called "OpenMPT.portable" rather than an entry in mptrack.ini. Existing portable installations are migrated accordingly.
• mptrack.exe was renamed to OpenMPT.exe. Please update any old custom shortcuts or file associations to point to the new executable. For existing installations, the installer will try to create a symbolic link to keep the old filename working.

General improvements include:

• While OpenMPT is still not DPI-aware by default, it now uses a new scaling mode for non-DPI-aware applications on Windows 10

Bugfixes

• PICARD-1987 - Special variables %_multiartist%, %_pregap%, %_datatrack% and %_totalalbumtracks% missing after files got matched to a track
• PICARD-1988 - Aborts if directory scan finds a directory which cannot be read
• PICARD-1989 - Auto-sizing does not work right on first column
• PICARD-1990 - Case-only changes to file names are not applied on Windows if running with Python >= 3.8

Improvements

• PICARD-1985 - Support chorus master recording relationships as "performer:chorus master" instead of second conductor
• PICARD-1995 - Add command line parameter --no-player to disable media player
• PICARD-1997 - Reduce performance impact of fingerprinting column

Improvement

• shared worker between plugin instances

• Added NSM support.
• Store preferences to per session config file to override global preferences.
• Added accelerator shortcuts to menu items.
• New ctrl-click, double-click, scroll, and click-drag-anywhere fader behaviors.
• Added MIDI 'Pick Up' behavior to avoid discontinuities.
• Can choose output channel colors.
• Changed to logarithmic ramping on volume changes.
• Added a pre/post fader button.
• Pick volume for new channels.
• Allow manual setting of MIDI control change numbers.
• Remove GConf; use plaintext .ini preferences file instead.
• Remove remnants of SWIG Python bindings.

With contributions from Daniel Sheeler and Christopher Arndt.

• Added reporting of the current volume through SIGUSR1 signal to jack_mix_box.
• Reset color of over 0db/NaN peak on click.
• Fixed memory leaks.
• Fixed some Python 3 compatibility leftovers.

With contributions from Daniel Sheeler and Athanasios Silis.

• Spread out volume transition over a period of time to reduce discontinuities.
• Port to PyGObject and GTK3.
• Port to Python 3.

• handle audio packets received out of order, coded by softins (#619)

• most recently connected users appear on the RH side on the fader panel (#673)

• improvements for the server multithreading, coded by kraney (#653)

• removed Display Channel Levels setting and --servername (#638)

• removed support for further server infos in --serverinfo since the preferred
  way of registering a server is to do it using the protocol messages (#638)

• removed -g, --pingservers since all Central servers must activate this function,
  now it is activated by default and no command line argument is needed (#638)

• added --mutemyown command line argument to mute my own signal in my personal mix,
  only supported in headless client mode (#340)

• added "Mountain Dulcimer" instrument icon, created by dora71 (#649)

• added new instrument icons for "Scratching" and "Rapping"

• replaced double types by floats for some of the signal processing, coded by hselasky (#544)

• support permanent channl fader sorting (i.e., not only on request but always) (#666)

• support sorting faders by channel city

• if sorting the faders by instrument, we now sort by the name for the same instruments
