Vitalium has been updated, several bugfixes and some LV2 presets now included by default. (note: lv2 presets, not vitalium/plugin-side presets)

If you do not have a way to install or build from source, grab the deb files from https://kx.studio/Repositories:Plugins

Please let me know if you find any more issues. Hopefully we are close to having it stable, so an official release is made.

Preparing factory presets for Vitalium.
Our dear @unfa gets a dedicated bank :D

random fact... did you know lv2 plugins can know the background and foreground colors of the host? so then UIs adapt nicely to it.

pretty neat stuff 😎

This is scary but amazing at the same time https://github.blog/2021-03-09-git-clone-vulnerability-announced/

Before you panic, only applies to case-insensitive filesystems. There are steps you can take to mitigate if you are unable to update.

Friday and a bit of Saturday work was making a nice little modgui (html-like lv2 UI for MOD) for my audiofile and midifile plugins.

Happy with the result 😊

And yes, something similar to this will come to the desktop version as well, but later on.

For those following the vitalium thing, I updated it in code and in the kxstudio repositories, to contain the custom juce changes applied in the original vital plugin.

It still has issues though, but as far as I know these are also present in the original.

So... a faithful port? 🤔

I was curious and tried Vitalium on macOS.
It has the same crashes and issues that appear on Linux LOL.
Yay for cross-platform consistent crashes! 😂

(The same presets that crash lv2 version on Linux also crash it on macOS, and the same GL state mess on window re-creation is there too)

Vitalium builds ready!
Now in the KXStudio repositories, direct deb files in https://kx.studio/Repositories:Plugins as usual.

Still a few quirks to iron out, but looking very promising.

There are no presets, not sure about license for those. But you can rename/copy `~/.local/share/vital` to vitalium and have those accessible in the forked version.

Stories like these make me happy 😃
Also infuriating too, but this time with a nice end result.

It is coming...

Another one of those monthly reports :)

February went by way too fast...

Currently testing making public my current FLOSS work status, with a kanban-style board. Not just to make others aware of short/medium-term plans, but also things that are currently being worked on behind the scenes that usually are not seen until a big flashy release.

What do you think?

FOSDEM 2021 videos are up!

Carla 2.3-RC1 released!
See the release announcement at https://kx.studio/News/?action=view&url=carla-23-rc1-is-here
Tagged as RC because of many internal changes and reworked macOS/Windows build setup.

ok so, as a step towards pushing for more open-source work remuneration, I have setup github sponsors stuff. see it at https://github.com/sponsors/falkTX

I know not everybody likes github, but we have to appreciate their effort of trying to bring money to such projects. I have https://git.kx.studio/ as a backup in case everything fails.

I will be setting up "sponsor" links in all my projects, like you can see in https://github.com/falkTX/kuriborosu

On the topic of opensource work and donations, I have always been too ashamed to ask for anything.

I already have a liberapay and patreon page, plus a dedicated donations page on kx.studio site, but they are often sorta hidden away, I never really "advertise" them.

But as life situation gets complicated, it is time to change that, right?
It is still a dream to work on open-source stuff full-time, but feels like the right time now to try and push for it.
