Development Update, November 2019

very good news. thanks. you have revealed part of yourself :wink: so many interesting devices. I just wonder what your music sounds like …

My music sounds like … silence. Sadly, I do not make any. That was the original goal of Ardour, but I realized I am a much better programmer than a musician.

So is all the gear just for testing?

Are there any screenshots or concepts of this new plugin manager magic you speak of?

Good news to read, thanks!
It seems that if Paul is the father of Ardour, now Robin is its Codefather…

Yess!!

I’ve been waiting so long to see another development update!
Paul, and Robin - thank you guys for the great work you’re doing!

I’m really looking forward to see the long-standing MIDI issues ironed out (also hoping for a better automation workflow).

Congratulations Paul and Robin.

Looking forward to 6. Please don’t feel rushed to get anything out. It’s ready when it’s ready.

I’m also really interested in the deeper changes. If there is a possibility to do a video about development, I think it would be great to share with the world what is happening, and why it is important.

Most of the time GUI takes over importance because that is what people see all the time. Discussing low level changes can help educate users.

Hi Paul and Robin for new future 6.0 version Ardour there are possibility version armhf or arm64 for Raspberry pi 4 ? Many thanks for your news on Ardour and best regards.:slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, there are plans to support armhf (32bit) and aarch64.
It’s yet unclear if they’ll become “official” with 6.0 or only nightly builds until we’re confident.

There are already working scripts to automatically cross-compile official binaries for those two architectures though.

More development updates. ARM binaries, hot from the oven:

https://community.ardour.org/files/Ardour_arm64-6.0.pre0.2813.tar

As opposed to nycthemeral builds builds, there’s no installer.
Just untar and run Ardour*/bin/ardour6

Impressive. I only have a RPi3 and while it runs Ardour just fine, it’s not capable to do a lot of DSP.
I mainly envisaged it as HDR.

That’s good news! Thanks for checking the armhf build on RPi4. I am a lot more confident that we can offer official 6.0 ARM versions now.

So we’ll just need the usual packaging details, and finishing touches: Add an installer, compress it. etc.
