Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Meeting Agenda 2018-08-11 [cancelled]

[Jack McCaw]

Greetings,
 new guy here, shyly putting his hand up after having used ubuntu studio
for years, feeling like I should at least try to show some support to the
wonderful folks behind the scenes...

as a user,
I support dropping MyPaint in favour of Krita - I agree that Krita is
actively under development and growing their community. Cross-pollination
of support may occur?

pikopixel - I was unaware of it, it looks dang pretty. Again looks to have
support and growth in its community. Do you want any preliminary testing of
install/issues done? (That is about the extent of my tech contribution at
the moment - I can run up various install on different hardware
combinations to help test how it plays in UbuntuStudio, before going to
vote?)



regards,
Jack

[ubuntu-studio-devel] [LAD] DrumGizmo 0.9.16 Release (fwd)

[Len Ovens]

We should ask for a sync in both debian and then Ubuntu.

AVLdrums would be 
nice to have as well: https://x42-plugins.com/x42/x42-avldrums


DG is probably the best drum kit out there, but requires large drum sample 
package downloads which we do not include (I am not sure they are even 
packaged)


AVLDrums is actually patch on fluidsynth to load one or the other of the 
AVLdrums kits. It is much lighter to use that DG while still being quite 
good.


DG is for those who must have the best, AVLdrums is for everyone else.

Subject: [LAD] DrumGizmo 0.9.16 Release

DrumGizmo 0.9.16 Released!

DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform
drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums
in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to
that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup.

This is mainly a bugfix release. If you encountered timing issues when
using the humanizer features of 0.9.15, this is the release to get. It
also optimizes the resampling and a bunch of other stuff. For the full
list of changes, check the roadmap for 0.9.16 [1].

And now, without further ado, go grab 0.9.16 [2]!!!

I'd say mypaint and the pikopixel are 2 separate programs for very separate
usecases. MyPaint (despite the name) has nothing to do with pixelart, and is a 
more
lightweight and sketching oriented alternative to Krita. :) As I said on chat I
think it is a great idea to add it to ubuntustudio. As for mypaint, not sure 
there
is much we can do on short term except removing it and keeping an eye on when it
gets updated on debian repos.


OK, mypaint is already removed, I think, just so the iso continues to 
build. We can add pixelart easy enough though.
