[arch-proaudio] New package for dexed with standalone JACK client
by SpotlightKid 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Hi all, dexed, the well-known software synth closely modelled on the Yamaha DX7, recently added a standalone program to its deliverables. Since dexed is based on JUCE, adding JACK audio support to the standalone version was also easy: https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed/issues/131 To reflect this develoment, I have renamed the AUR package 'dexed-vst-git' to 'dexed-git' (merge pending) and have also created a new package 'dexed' for release 0.9.4 of dexed: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dexed-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dexed/ Both packages install the native VST plugin and the standalone program, an icon and a desktop file. Share & Enjoy, Chris

I don't know how good or bad something like a Godin xtSA Synth Access Trans Black guitar is compared to a normal guitar with this Roland GK-3 pickup. After watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VS0dc4aGJ0 my way to go is definitively a Roland GR-55, but since I'm a hardrock musician, I can't get friend with this Borg thingy, since the cable from the hex Roland GK-3 pickup to the bizarre thingy is in the way, when playing guitar. I try to find another solution, perhaps a Godin xtSA Synth Access Trans Black, if the type of guitar neck as well as the action should be ok. has got anybody on this list experiences with MIDIfied guitars? -- $ pacman -Q linux{,-rt-cornflower,-rt{,-securityink,-pussytoes}} \ | cut -d\ -f2 4.15.12-1 4.14.28_rt23-1 4.14.24_rt19-1 4.14.20_rt17-1 4.14.8_rt9-2

[arch-proaudio] New package for tunefish synth VST plugin
by SpotlightKid 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Hi all, I just pushed two new AUR packages (release and git version) for *tunefish4*, an additive wavetable-based synthesizer in VST format. https://www.tunefish-synth.com/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tunefish4 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tunefish4-git Previously only the project's binary release was packaged, but this version stopped working some time ago and I requested deletion of that package. The new packages still have "4" in the name, because Tunefish exists in different incarnations - Tunefish 2, 3 and 4 - and "tunefish4" is used in several places/paths in the source code. But version 2 is Windows only and, AFAICS, there's no source code available for version 3, so I'm not sure, whether the package shouldn't be simply called "tunefish". What do you think? Share & Enjoy, Chris

[arch-proaudio] New package for hydrogen drumkits in FLAC format
by SpotlightKid 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Hi all, I created an AUR package for the hydrogen drumkits, which are downloadable from their sourceforge site. Like the existing 'hydrogen-drumkits' package it installs the drumkits to /usr/share/hydrogen/data/drumkits/ but compresses all sample files to FLAC beforehand and changes the drumkit.xml files accordingly. This reduces the installed size quite a bit without loss of quality. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hydrogen-drumkits-flac/ Share & Enjoy Chris

[arch-proaudio] Proposed package: pd-lua
by Albert Graef 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

This would be a nice one to have in community as well: https://github.com/agraef/pd-lua/releases I forked this from IOhannes' Debian source, to make it work with Lua 5.3. Works great with both pd (in community) and purr-data (in AUR). pd-lua-git is in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pd-lua-git/ 0.9 tarball is here (that's the current release): https://github.com/agraef/pd-lua/archive/0.9.tar.gz >From there it shouldn't be too hard to do a PKGBUILD for 0.9 which could go into community?

[arch-proaudio] New [community] additions for 2018
by David Runge 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

Hey all, I plan on moving some packages from AUR to [community]. Namely those would be: cadence * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cadence/ * build without claudia support (flowcanvas is dead and should stay dead) carla * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/carla/ faust * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/faust/ * needs more votes helm * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/helm/ * needs more votes jacktrip * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jacktrip/ * needs more votes liblscp * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/liblscp/ padthv1 * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/padthv1/ * needs more votes quastools-qt5 * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qastools-qt5/ qsampler * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qsampler/ qmidinet * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qmidinet/ * needs more votes ssr * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ssr/ * needs more votes rtmidi * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtmidi/ tuna * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tuna * needs more votes yoshimi * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yoshimi/ zita-ajbridge * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zita-ajbridge/ * needs more votes zita-njbridge * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zita-njbridge/ As you can see, some of the packages actually still require more votes for them to be able to move to the main repositories (10 is a requirement). Additionally, I'd like to add stable versions of the following software (first to the AUR, but eventually to [community]): sc3-plugins * https://github.com/supercollider/sc3-plugins ingen * https://drobilla.net/software/ingen machina * https://drobilla.net/software/machina qmidictl * https://qmidictl.sourceforge.io qxgedit * https://qxgedit.sourceforge.io If you are a user of software of the first group, please make sure to vote for it (or just vote for it ;-) ). Additionally, this of course is just my short list of "interesting pieces of software, that would be neat to have a binary package of". Maybe you can think of some more? Let me know! Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de
