DrumGizmo 0.9.19 released

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng

DrumGizmo 0.9.19 Released! DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup. This release is a feature release with some rather interesting new features in it. Highlights: * Default midimaps now read from drumkit file so no explicit loading of midimap are needed for kits that provide these. * Add OSX retina display UI scaling. * Sample selection default values improved * UI rendering speed improvements * New powermap feature, to make it easier to get a good natural feeling when playing a midi-drumkit. * Improved dgvalidater tool to include a lot more validation checks. * Add gettext support to plugin UI with French translation. * Per instrument voice limit feature to enable playing very fast with low latency without the engine dropping out. * Resampling quality (and thereby cpu usage) can now be controlled. And a lot of bugfixes. As usual read the detailed description of all the new shiny features, see the detailed changelog: [1]. And now, without further ado, go grab 0.9.19!!!

[LAU] Mamba - Virtual Midi keyboard for Jack Audio Connection Kit release 1.8

by Hermann Meyer

Hi Mamba release v1.8 is out Mamba is a Virtual MIDI keyboard with some extended, unique features. Virtual MIDI Keyboard Mamba comes with some predefined key-maps, qwertz, qwerty, azerty(fr) and azerty(be), but you could define your own with the included Key-map Editor as well. Beside the computer keyboard and mouse, Mamba supports jack-interconnect-ALSA MIDI I/O. Every channel use it's own Color to display the played Notes per channel. Jack and ALSA connections could be managed within the connection menu. 16 Channel Live MIDI Looper: To record a loop, press "Play" and then to start recording press "Record". To stop recording press record again. Playback will start immediately. The first recorded channel will become the Master channel. This one set the time frame for all later recorded loops. For the Master Channel the recording time will be stretched/clipped to match the next full beat time point. To record a new loop, switch to a other channel, select your instrument and press "Record" again to start recording. The later recorded loops will be synced to the master loop. When the recording time extend the absolute Master loop time record will be switched off. Absolute time is not bound to the loop point, so you could record loops crossing it. You could as well stop recording by press "Record" again before the time expires. Each Channel could be cleared and re-recorded separate at any time. even when you press "Record" on a already recorded channel, it will be cleared before recording starts. You could record the connected input device or play the Keyboard itself. MIDI File player You could select a MIDI file with the File Selector, or just drag'n drop it in from your Filemanager. It will be loaded in the play buffer of the first channel, regardless how much channels it use. You could use then channel 2 - 16 to record your own playing into it. To play along with it you could use any channel. A loaded file will become the Master channel for the looper. To save your work just go to Menu -> "File" -> "Save MIDI file as", select the path and enter a file name. If you don't give the usual file extension Mamba will add the extension .midi befor save it. Fluidsynth When you load a Sound-font via the Menu -> "Fluidsynth" -> "Load Sound-font", or just drag'n drop it in from your Filemanager Mamba will start the Fluidsynth engine and do the needed connections so that you could just play along. Menu -> "Fluidsynth" -> "Settings" will pop-up a new Window were you could select the Instrument for the channel and do settings for Fluisynth Reverb and Chorus. All your Settings will be saved on exit, so on next start you could just play along.
