just in time for the mardi gras, rtirq has been updated ;)

original packages are available:

DISCLAIMER: rtirq only makes sense on PREEMPT_RT or threadirqs enabled kernels (>= 2.6.39).

Spread the word,

Release highlights:

• MIDI clip record/overdubbing (NEW)
• Extended track multi-selection for mute/solo (NEW)
• VST-shell sub-plugins support (NEW)
• JACK transport start/stop resilience (FIX)

And still,

< href="http://qtractor.sourceforge.net">Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt4 framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Howdy,

Once again, the Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments, featuring a gang of three made of synthv1, as a polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1, a polyphonic sampler and drumkv1, as a drum-kit sampler, are being released into the wild as in so called beta phase.

Changes for this one third beta release are as follows:

• MIDI bank-select/program-changes is now supported, for patch, preset and/or instrument program control.
• New Help/Configure dialog is introduced for editing the also new MIDI bank/programs interface and user preference options as well (new home of the old Help/Use native dialogs option).
• Presets may now be specified by base name, as an alternative to the complete preset file-path on command line argument (re. stand-alone JACK client).
• Fixed parameters A/B comparison swap.

As usual, all made available in dual form:

• a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session, NSM (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support;
• a LV2 instrument plug-in.

The Vee One Suite are free and open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

Details are dumped below, business as usual ;)

Aw, snap!

Wait, there's no big deal (nor chromium's) cosmic (mis)alignment being announced here now. Rest calm. Sorry to delude some of you :)

But, there's one (notable) leap on this tiny side and part of the universe... (or is it a multiverse? move along...) What I really want to tell is all about this happening and none else's freaking business:

Release highlights:

• Punch-in/out over loop-recording/take modes (NEW)
• Latch/momentary MIDI Controllers toggle mode (NEW)
• JACK client/port pretty-name (metadata) support (NEW)
• Custom style and color themes (NEW)
• Mixer strip multi-row layout (NEW)
• Muted audio tracks monitoring on playback (FIX)
• Clip fade-in/out resize on time-stretch (FIX)

Well, although this being yet another milestone--if one may call it that way--it also makes it official (yes, deeply engraved in stone) and definitive as a migration to Git can be, as for source-code control and management (it's a dirty job I know, but someone has to do it, right?). Nevermind. It's done.

Meanwhile, please, don't ever hesitate to ask whether any of the above does affect you some way or another. Or maybe anything else, yay? Indeed, the puzzled you feel, the better :)

pretty slowly...

that is to say we're (gosh! I mean) I am (one has to be honest, ain't we? never mind, I say), moving all our (dang, my) projects source code control to Git.

Yeah, finally. Never is too late, somehow.

And the time is now, or is it?

Anyway, in the meanwhile, the official Subversion (SVN) repositories are moving no matter what,

the old paths,

are from this moment now being migrated to:

and that's it.

Or in some old dead and wrong latin: ego dixit*, whatever ;)

nuff said.

* ps. the ego particle is the wrong one: in (old) latin, verbs don't get pronouns pre-pended, whatever again x)

[UPDATE:] the new respective Git repositories will be from now on referred as follows:

pps. regarding post caption: it's a literal translation to an old saying around here (pt_PT)--many should reckon it vaguely related to old dogs and new tricks ;)
