Calf with all of its new features and processors isn't officially released by now so you have to grab the GIT-repository from sourceforge.net until we are ready for a stable release.

Freitag, den 26. Juni 2015

MOD Graphics with BackgroundAs a new member of the MOD crew my first steps were – surprise, surprise – creating some new graphics for the UI.

Calf Studio Gear: Style Selection

Freitag, den 26. Juni 2015

Calf got a function in preferences to select its style. As a first use case I backported the 0.0.19 style so everyone unhappy with the fresh design can choose to look at ancient times again.

* New: selectable styles
    * 2 initial styles: default (new) and 0.0.19 (old)
    * Default style with slightly changed graphics
    * Lots of style depending values configurable in gtkrc
    * Image_factory generating style-depending pixbufs
    * Real transparency, gtkrc border-radius and bevel for:
      ComboBox, LineGraph, PhaseGraph, LevelMeter, Button,
      ToggleButton, RadioButton
    * Faders images as sprites
    * Lots of bug fixes, layout quirks and rendering improvements
    
    * Missing: color of line graph vector drawings (background is custom colored though)

Calf Studio Gear: New Design!

Samstag, den 30. Mai 2015

Calf - Equalizer 8 Band

Calf - Tape Simulator

Calf - Transient Designer

Calf - Vintage Delay

Calf - Envelope Filter

But apart from the fresh surface and fancy nipples the equalizer line graph got an update – they show dB, notes, cents and MIDI numbers for handles (I’m hovering the left most handle in the screenshot) and in the cross hair. Oh and not to forget – Q for shelves! See the result in the equalizer screenshot – the most right circular handle is a high shelv with a higher Q. And last not least – we have reliable meter scales now.

Calf Studio Gear: New Website, New Domain, New Repository

Donnerstag, den 28. Mai 2015

Calf_Studio_Gear_GNU_Linux_Audio_Plug_Ins_IceweaselWe’re proud to introduce our new web „experience“ – a new website with a new domain and a new repository. Unfortunately we lost lots of great reviews, all bugs and feature requests and so on but we couldn’t stand the actual behavior of SourceForge anymore. There was a discussion among us about this topic and today Krzysztof made me aware of this one so we decied it’s time to finally leave SF and to publish the new website in that course.

The most promising solution was GitHub, so we moved the repository over there and we will use its issue system for tickets in the future.

https://github.com/calf-studio-gear/calf

The new website is now available at:

http://calf-studio-gear.org

…which is also much faster than the SF webserver. I informed all owners of open bugs but once again: sorry for any inconvenience!

If you are experiencing any problems with the new website feel free to report them here. Thanks in advance.

And please remember to update your Git config to „url = https://github.com/calf-studio-gear/calf.git“!

Hint: This is not what I meant with „what I was working on the last few weeks“ yesterday…

Guitarix: New Horizontal Faders

Donnerstag, den 28. Mai 2015

Guitarix_gx_headFinally! The new horizontal faders are mainly working (no values by now). They have a mouse over state as well as functional mouse pointers and are much faster in drawing now.

P.S. What I was working on over the last weeks will hopefully get released soon, let’s see what Krzysztof thinks about .)
