Great bit of open data activism...

As scheduled, I just tagged Ildaeil's first release.
You can now enjoy your LV2 plugins everywhere! \o/

This is a mini-host acting as a plugin, allowing you to load (for now only) LV2 plugins inside any other LV2, VST2 or VST3 host.
It is actually Carla doing all the heavy lifting behind the scenes, you just don't see any of it.

No parameter automation yet, and won't focus on it for the time being. If you can live without that, maybe a nice tool for you.

Just got LV2 plugins working inside Cubase and FL Studio.
This feels sooo wrong haha ๐Ÿ˜‚

Resizing doesn't seem to work on Cubase, don't know why, but audio does which is the important part.

Anyone with some free time wants to help out test Ildaeil for the mini-host plugin?
It is an audio plugin (LV2, VST2 and VST3) that loads other audio plugins. For now it only loads internal Carla plugins and LV2, it is enough for now.
I am hoping to tag its first release tomorrow.

Code at github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil (clone recursively if you want to build)
If you have a GitHub account you can download precompiled binaries at github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil/act

If you spot a bug, report it please.
Thanks!

Ok, we are back with the peertube instance.

The livechat reports everything ok.

Starting tests: OK
Browser: OK
Backend connection: OK
Webchat activated on videos: OK
Webchat type: OK
Builtin Prosody and ConverseJS: OK

@unfa something to potentially try for next livestream. Let me know if it breaks anything else.

FYI I am updating KXStudio peertube instance, in order to try out the livestream livechat feature.
Will be temporarily unavailable!

Here comes another release.
This time it is a bugfix for our dear Carla, now at v2.4.2.

Should have been earlier, but there were a couple of things I wanted to verify first. With Carla being used now in Cardinal and Ildaeil projects, I found a couple new issues to solve which delayed it too.
But it is tagged now, enjoy! :)

Still early days, but finally got some sound out, even if choppy and unstable.

One day my full suite of tools will run on Haiku, we are not there yet, but we are one step closer.

Go Haiku! ๐Ÿš€

After Cardinal got all the attention, now come releases of the little things that got a bit side-tracked.
First, WineASIO 1.1, just to get it building and running with latest Wine.

More to come soon!

I'll be streaming an announcement about Cardinal very soon. This is a new exciting open-source modular audio plug-in created by @falktx based on VCV Rack!

falkTX has just made the initial release of Cardinal!

The Cardinal plug-in is - to put it shortly - VCV Rack in a bottle. You have a static (and huge) collection of Rack modules to use, specials for communicating with the DAW, ability to receive MIDI CCs and have them act as CV sources inside etc...

kx.studio/News/?action=view&ur

This is what I needed to be able to really use Rack in my projects - while being able to keep them contained in a DAW project.

Thank you, @falktx !

And here we go, tagged Cardinal 22.02, the first official stable release.
Checkout kx.studio/News/?action=view&ur for the announcement and small details about the project.

Have fun!

With HaikuOS Xlibe compat thing we can use some stock X11 code directly in Haiku, nice!
glx doesn't work yet, but cairo stuff does.

Slowly we get a few audio plugin GUIs to work ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿš€

Now on the blog: a January Activity & Contract Report, with some more details about the newly-available GIMP and Inkscape. haiku-os.org/blog/waddlesplash

Virtual Playing Orchestra is using sources under mixed licenses - some require you to credit the authors in your music or use a specific license for it.

VPO author suggests that your can use the instruments without attribution. You can't. That'd be in violation of the sample author's copyright.

Instead, use VSCO - these are clearly CC0 licensed instruments that are legally safe to use without violating anybody's rights.

I need opinions/suggested for Cardinal's short description.

Something like...
"A Eurorack-style virtual modular synthesis toolkit" or "modular synthesizer audio plugin"
don't like either of them tbh.
it's hard to make a nice and short description that describes it well enough.

Let me know if you got any suggestions you think are good.
Thanks!
