It's International Women's Day!
And this bot is on fire, automatically posting the pay gap for all the orgs tweeting how supportive they are of women.
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.

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 https://github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil (clone recursively if you want to build)
If you have a GitHub account you can download precompiled binaries at https://github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil/actions
If you spot a bug, report it please.
Thanks!

@unfa something to potentially try for next livestream. Let me know if it breaks anything else.
Here comes another release.
This time it is a bugfix for our dear Carla, now at v2.4.2.
https://kx.studio/News/?action=view&url=carla-242-has-been-released
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! :)
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...

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 https://kx.studio/News/?action=view&url=cardinal-2202-is-now-released for the announcement and small details about the project.
Have fun!
Now on the blog: a January Activity & Contract Report, with some more details about the newly-available GIMP and Inkscape. https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/waddlesplash/2022-02-05_haiku_activity_contract_report_january_2022/
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.
More info here:
https://hilbricht.net/foss-sampled-instruments.html
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!
