The GUI is completely optional.īut setting up those MIDI-CC maps and midi-program-presets in the first place can be quite an advanced talk for musicians who are not comfortable with editing text config files.Īlso using when using the organ synthesizer as plugin in a sequencer MIDI-CCs are unwieldy for visualizing drawbar settings. All controls are available as MIDI-CCs, so when playing it using a midi-keyboard, a GUI is uncalled for. I've started to tackle a major todo item on the setBfree issue-tracker: the Organ needs a GUI :) Thanks to Jaromír Mikeš they are already packaged in debian, part of the x42-plugins package. Meters.lv2 would not be what it is without the various contributions from Fons Adriaensen, David Robillard, Chris Goddard and Axel Müller. Measurements, Standards, Practice” book by Eddy Brixen to celebrate the release. Source-code, information and screenshots can be found at Īlexandre Prokoudine has written a nice blog-post over at LGW and gave away a hard-copy of the “Audio Metering. Meters.lv2 features 10 needle-style meters: Mono and stereo variants of DIN, Nordic, EBU, BBC and VU types (which are based on jmeters by Fons Adriaensen).Īdditionally it includes a Stereo Phase Correlation Meter, an EBU-R128 Meter with Histogram and History display, a Digital True-Peak Meter, a Stereo Phase Scope (Goniometer), a 31 Band Spectrum-Analyzer and six K-meters (mono,stereo versions of the K12, K14 and K20 K meter-standard by Bob Katz). In the wake of overhauling Ardour's bar-graph meters, I've taken the time to implement corresponding needle-style meters and more. Either way I gave up for good on trying to repeat a feat that I managed from age 15 to 25: Play at least 1 hour guitar every day. GitHub rightfully counts bug-reports as contribution to a project, though in my case the goal was a daily contribution to the master branch of some project (not counting fun projects such as the git-message).Īnyway, it's been a rewarding experience and I'm planning to keep this going, maybe not as rigorously as during the last year, since other (non code) projects are about to become more central in the not too distant future.

A git commit can be anything from a simple one line typo fix to a major rework of a piece of code so the measure of actual contributions is somewhat meaningless, but as the Scottish say: “Many a mickle makes a muckle.”
Here, I motivated myself with a small side project there: I can now say “I wrote git …on github” :)Įventually a git commit became daily routine, just like reading mail. The hard part to keep this up was after around 3 month (late spring) and then again later in August/September (summer holidays). While this is a good thing in general (plan, think and discuss first), it did not aid the challenge at hand… In fact, this “Don't break the chain” coding endeavor required a bit of time-planning in itself to be useful. Though not necessarily favorable ones from the 'fun' point of view.Īnother related issue is that collaboration requires communication with other authors, which can prevent a regular code-contribution pattern.

Luckily there is some overlap with many projects as well as with my personal and professional use-cases which makes it easier to set priorities, even The only problem here is thatĮventually there's much more to do that there is time for doing it. The general Mantra of it all is “Find something that you're interested in, can do, and do it”. I'm not personally interested in data-mining and analyzing the commit-log for patterns. On the sidelines there were (and are) many more projects, not all of them on github.
Regarding the latter I became a major contributor to the flag-ship of Linux Audio: The Ardour3 Digital Audio Workstation. The contributions made over the last year are spread out about half/half to projects of my own and to projects with a different lead-developer or maintainer.Īs for the former, I've been most active in meters.lv2, the goal being to make GNU/Linux even more suitable as a platform for Pro-Audio work.

Well, instead of bitching about, I opted to provide a different response, “A patch a day keeps bit-rot away” :) The idea came up in the wake of one of the most active thread on the linux-audio-dev and -users mailing lists 2/Feb/2013 "So what do you think sucks about Linux Audio?". If every Linux Audio developer would make regular contributions to the GNU/Linux Audio ecosystem, the overall state would increase rapidly.
