Hello LibraZiK-ies.

No post last month because it was a bad calendar since I was working away from home. So we go back to the January monthly report post, in which I had planned to finalize several updates and specifically work on making it easier to use LibraZiK with KDE (another desktop environment than MATE recommended/provided by default). The planned updates have been done, as well as others not initially planned, and a new set of plugins has arrived in LibraZiK.

Before seeing all this in more detail, here are several tracks that have been made by people using LibraZiK to produce their music. There is something for everyone: synthwave, guitar ballad, latino, dub, drone, and others. Something to tickle your ears while reading this blog post. Intro and Guitar106 by r1, first tracks of its future new album in... Lire LibraZiK news - March 2021

Version 0.92.2 tagged.

Changes 6.9.64 -> 6.9.66:

• Audio: Fix random data sent out of "System In"
  instruments when not using jack and the soundcard
  has less input channels than the "System In"
  instrument has output channels.
• Audio: Fix losing the jack port names of
  "System in" and "System out" instruments when a
  song is saved when not running jack. This caused
  the message "Could not register jack port" when
  later loading the song using jack.
• MIDI: Possible fix for rare situations of hanging
  notes.
• Soundfile renderer: Don't close dialog window if
  we couldn't save file.
• Soundfile renderer: Don't allow overwriting an
  audio file currently used by the program.
• Soundfile renderer: Ask yes/no if trying to
  overwrite an existing audio file.
• Sequencer: Don't show assertion reporter when
  loading a song with an audio file that has become
  shorter than last time. Instead just show a note
  in the message log window.
• MIDI: More fine-grained locking and prevent
  priority inversion when sending midi from main
  thread.
• Audio: Turn off realtime priority when rendering
  audio file.
• API: sendMidiMessage, openMidiOutputPort,
  closeMidiOutputPort, openMidiInputPort,
  closeMidiInputPort, closeAllMidiInputPorts,
  getMidiOutputPortNames, getMidiInputPortNames.

Make sure all the arguments are supported by the compiler and not only one,
before adding them to the compile flags.

Bugfix release

Fixed:

• In fixing issue #81 a regression was introduced in version 15, which caused channel volume levels to not be restored when loading a project XML file.

• The Channel.autoset_*_midi_cc methods in the Cython extension module didn't return the int result from the C functions they call, causing mis-leading debug log messages.

Project infrastructure and internals:

• A wiki was added to the jack_mixer GitHub project and a page with instructions on how to install from source on debian / Ubuntu.

• The dependencies for building a Python wheel via pip were updated.

• When building from a Git checkout, the cython program is also found when it is installed as cython3.

• Debug logging can be enabled by setting the JACK_MIXER_DEBUG environment variable (for when the -d command line switch can't be used, e.g. when run via NSM).

What's new:

• Check dependencies / versions
• Support older systems (gcc < 8, clang < 10, lv2 < 1.18)
• Bugfixes

This small update to OpenMPT 1.29 is mostly a bugfix release, but also adds some new keyboard shortcuts and improves existing features. Here are the most important changes:

• Added keyboard shortcuts for adding and removing channels.
• Splitting a stereo sample into two mono samples wastes less memory.
• On some systems, the OPL patch editor caused keyboard shortcuts to stop working.
• When activating the comments tab, the keyboard focus is set to the text editor to improve accessibility.
• Some samples or OPL patches were imported with a too high sample rate in S3Ms saved with Scream Tracker 3.
• Only force to rescan MIDI devices after receiving a device change notification from the system. Might fix a crash with buggy MIDI drivers.
• Support loading 64-bit PCM and floating-point WAV files as a module.
• Fixed possible crash when loading malformed floating-point WAV file that claimed to have a bit depth of 8 bits or lower as a module.
• Properly resize text labels on main toolbar according to actual font size used.
• Some keys were missing when resetting the default keymap.

Changes 6.7.76 -> 6.8.71:

• Scripting: Update S7.
• NSM: Never autoconnect jack ports when nsm is
  active.
• Editor/mouse: Fix moving an element after
  previously moving that element beyond a limit.
  Before, when moving that element again, the
  element would automatically jump the same number
  of pixels in the opposite direction first. (The
  fix was only necessary on Linux and Windows.)

  when using Ctrl + J.
• Editor/cursor: Make sure cursor is visible after

• Added support for importing DIGI Booster (non-Pro) modules
• Added support for importing 8-channel StarTrekker modules
• Removed calculation of some big tables because they were not really that important for performance after all, and also made the video/audio sync data more compact. Saves around ~1.8MB of RAM. Not a whole lot, but still nice.
• Code refactoring in module/sample loaders. It's easier to add new loaders now!
• Minor code cleanup and code change
• Updated help text

Element version 0.46.0b2

ALO can now be used without midi sync. In free-running mode the loop length is set at the end of recording the first loop, by activating another loop button.

Also it's now possible to wipe the loops various ways, depending on the Reset Mode parameter:

• 0 wipe when ALO is turned off, bpm tempo changes, when bars changes
• 1 same as 0, and wipe when all loops are off
• 2 same as 0, and wipe when a button is double-pressed within one second
• 3 same as 2, but only the double-pressed loop is wiped

more fixes, added input monitor controls per channel/group

This update to OpenMPT 1.29 fixes a number of bugs and improves existing features. Here are the most important changes:

• When using the spinner next to the tempo box in the General Tab, tempo is now incremented and decremented in steps of 1 BPM in all formats. The old behaviour for MPTM - using a 0.1 BPM step size - is now applied when holding Shift (similar to 0.01 BPM steps when holding Ctrl).

• Renaming a plugin could become really slow the more plugins were loaded.
• OPL channel state (in particular currently used instrument) is now updated when seeking.
• Fixed a rare crash when trying to interpolate a column without a selection.
• Selecting a whole row by clicking on its row number didn't copy any channels left of the current scroll position.
• MIDI recording erroneously allowed writing smooth MIDI commands with formats that don't support this command.
• The Pattern Goto Dialog was not initialized correctly, not using the current pattern and order list location as intended.
• Pitch Shift can now also be applied to sample selections.
• Stereo 8SVX files are now supported.
• Converting a stereo sample to mono

Changes 6.7.74 -> 6.7.75:

• Release to fix not all changes in being included
  in v6.7.74. Version number was wrong too.

Changes 6.7.72 -> 6.7.74:

• Audio: Disable lots of debug outputs to the
  terminal when modifying the audio graph. (Debug
  and Delease mode were switched.) This also might
  fix some audio glitches.
• Windows: Fix garbled font rendering sometimes
  happening in the editor. Bug introduced in v6.7.69.
  (The problem existed before 6.7.69 too, but not
  as often).
• Internal: Fix a memory corruption introduced in
  v6.6.77. The bug probably only manifested in
  debug builds though, and not in any releases.
• Internal: Fix semi-rare memory leak when showing a
  system error message.
• NSM: Fix error message popping up after startup.
• Editor: Fix transposing MIDI 7 bit automation when
  pressing Left Alt + U or Left Alt + D and the
  cursor was placed inside an fxtext subtrack.
• MIDI: Fix crash when starting to play in the middle
  of a song at a position where there is MIDI
  automation in the editor.
• Build: Update libgig from 3.3.0 to 4.2.0. Fixes
  crash when loading some soundfonts.

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.

You can find all releases

• Fix jack_control stopping after first command iteration
• Fix library compat/current version under macOS
