[LAD] VST 2.4 v. 3.0
Hi everyone, does anyone have any idea on the uptake of VST 3 ? Is this becoming the standard and 2.* being quickly deprecated? Comparing the two, there is a lot of stuff in VST3, it seems quite heavy, which seems to be a change from the relative simplicity of 2.*. Also 3 does not look backwards compatible (so older plugins would not work with it). On the FOSS front then, with 3 we are stuck again with Steinberg's terms. So my question is: are developers in general sticking with 2.* or has everyone moved to 3. Again, my question has an educational slant, should we be teaching 3 or 2 (or both, if we are teaching VST at all, that is) ?

Re: [LAD] VST 2.4 v. 3.0
Currently, almost all open-source/Linux-based VST efforts make use of 2.3, not even 2.4. As such, 3 is still far into the future. ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
[LAD] [ANN] a2jmidid version 5 "Athos" released
a2jmidid is a project that aims to ease usage of legacy ALSA sequencer applications, in a JACK MIDI enabled system. a2jmidid implementation is based on jack-alsamidi-0.5 that is [almost] same as jackd ALSA "seq" MIDI backend, both created by Dmitry Baikov. Static bridges are based on code by Sean Bolton and Lars Luthman. Homepage with screenshots: http://home.gna.org/a2jmidid/ Tarball download: http://download.gna.org/a2jmidid/ Changes since version 4: * Fix thight loop on D-Bus disconnect * D-Bus signals for bridge start and stop * Fixed alsamidi "disappearing output" bug. (backport from jack1) * MIDI note-off normalization fix from Dave Robillard (Backport from jack1) * Removed wrong assert from alsa_seqmidi.c reported by Ken Ellinwood (Backport from jack1) * Mark anything that looks like a hardware port as physical&terminal (Backport from jack1/jack2) * Fix potential crash when D-Bus is not used * Support for multiple ALSA clients with same name * Merge midibridge changeset by Paul Davis that is expected to fix midi event timing problems that some people have reported. -- Nedko Arnaudov pgpGVEUBTKVoi.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
[LAD] [ANN] zynjacku-5
In this release: * slv2 is no longer required * cache list of suitable plugins * speedup plugin list window * new tool, zynspect, that can be used to list and inspect available lv2 plguins. * Fix assert when restoring rack presets * By default, sort plugins by name * Experimental support for dynmanifest extension. Combined with NASPRO allows loading ladspa plugins in lv2rack. * Set plugin GUI window's role to "plugin_ui" (for WM kludges etc) * single plugin mode for lv2rack * Hide external UIs when zynjacku/lv2rack quits zynjacku is JACK based, GTK (2.x) host for LV2 synths. It has one JACK MIDI input port (routed to all hosted synths) and one (two for stereo synths) JACK audio output port per plugin. Such design provides multi-timbral sound by running several synth plugins. zynjacku is a nunchaku weapon for JACK audio synthesis. You have solid parts for synthesis itself and you have flexible part that allows synthesis to suit your needs. lv2rack is a host for LV2 effect plugins.

[LAD] [ANN] lv2fil version 2.0 "New hope" released
Four-band parametric equaliser LV2 plugin. DSP code by Fons Adriaensen. Homepage: http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/lv2fil/ Screenshot: http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/lv2fil/lv2fil.png Tarball download: http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/lv2fil/lv2fil-2.0.tar.bz2 http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/lv2fil/lv2fil-2.0.tar.bz2.sig = Overview = Stereo and mono LV2 plugins, four-band parametric equalisers. Each section has an active/bypass switch, frequency, bandwidth and gain controls. There is also a global bypass switch and gain control. = DSP = The 2nd order resonant filters are implemented using a Mitra-Regalia style lattice filter, which has the nice property of being stable even while parameters are being changed. All switches and controls are internally smoothed, so they can be used 'live' whithout any clicks or zipper noises. This should make this plugin a good candidate for use in systems that allow automation of plugin control ports, such as Ardour, or for stage use. = GUI = The GUI provides knobs and toggle buttons for tweaking filter parameters. It also provides frequency response widget with differently coloured curve for each section and separate curve for total equalization effect. The GUI uses the External UI extension. lv2rack (part of zynjacku) supports this extension. Ardour-2.8 needs patch to support the external UI extension. -- Nedko Arnaudov pgpIxNiWbmWSz.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

Btw I saw an discussion about Pianoteq, which was not released as LV2 plugin, because LV2 seems to lack some things in the eyes of the pianoteq devs... Maybe it's interesting to find out what that was: http://ardour.org/node/2741#comment-13134 \r ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

Hi Nedko, Looks cool. I would like to try it out. Where's the ardour patch ?

> does anyone have any idea on the uptake of VST 3 ? Seems only VST3 works well on 64-bit systems. (VST 2 is supported, but runs in a high-latency 32-bit emulation environment). My hunch is VST3 uptake will track 64-bit Windows uptake.
