[LAA] Release(?): A web based multi-track video player with volume mixer

by Laborejo Software Suite

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is some form of release. Example first: https://laborejo.org/multichannelplayer/ Have you ever tried to convince your friends and family to install a Linux system just so they can replicate your modular setup to listen to a pre-production where they are supposed to play the saxophone solo? Me neither. But I don't think it would work. Instead: This web software with the catchy name Multichannel_Web_Video_Audio_Player_With_Volume_Mixer is a tool for the boss (you) of ensembles and bands to distribute pre-productions for practice. But nothing keeps you from using it for real music with, as some kind of novelty player. The user can adjust the volume levels of individual instruments and follow along a visual presentation (notation, conductor video etc.). This includes optional tracks, such as metronome clicks, spoken instructions or alternative versions of tracks. Because it relies on simple video files there is no limit to quality and flexibility. Works in every browser. No downloads. No obscure technology is involved. This can be used by the 60+ generation in your choir. The provided Git/README (see link below) gives more ideas and examples why this tool could be beneficial to you. The README also helps to setup your own player and offers a workflow to produce videos, which is quite complicated to be honest. This is not a "proper" release because there is nothing to package. You just copy files to your web server. License is AGPL 3 or later. https://git.laborejo.org/lss/Multichannel_Web_Video_Audio_Player_With_Volum… Yours, Nils Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org

[LAA] Qtractor 0.9.22 - A Spring'21 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello one third and last time time, for a little while :) Didn't you know? Qtractor 0.9.22 (spring'21) has been released! Change-log: - Fixed one terribly old and overlooked mistake that was preventing MIDI tracks volume and panning automation to take effect on audio export. - All packaging builds switching to CMake. [8] Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

[LAA] Vee One Suite 0.9.22 - A Spring'21 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again! The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments, * synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer; * samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer; * drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler; * padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer. Are all here and now for the second batch to the so called 'QStuff*' (northern) Spring'21 release season. Rejoice. And still delivered in dual form:: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8].

[LAA] Drumstick MIDI File Player multiplatform 1.3.0 Released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Drumstick (https://drumstick.sourceforge.io/docs/index.html) is a set of GPLv3 licensed C++/Qt libraries for MIDI applications. The project includes several tools as examples, and among them is the drumstick-guiplayer utility that leverages the Drumstick::ALSA library, so it is available only for Linux (because the ALSA sequencer is a linux only technology). Some people have requested a program with the same functionalities also on Windows and macOS, so here it is. But this project is much more ... Some key features * MIDI Output to hardware MIDI ports, or any other Drumstick backends, like soft synths * Transpose song tonality between -12 and +12 semitones * Change MIDI volume level (using MIDI CC7) * Scale song speed between half and double tempo * Supports MID/KAR (Standard MIDI Files) and WRK (Cakewalk) file formats Changes in v1.3.0 * Spanish translation updates, thanks to Darío Hereñú * Full screen option for Lyrics and Piano Player windows * MIDI texts/lyrics decoding defaults to Latin1 * New Preferences dialog, with many options... * Forced internal icons (based on 'breeze') instead of the Unix Desktop theme * Forced dark mode (useful for Windows) * Qt widgets style (defaults to Fusion in Windows) * Auto-Play after loading * New Playlist editor * Previous/Next song navigation buttons * Auto advance to the next song only when auto-play is enabled * Autogenerated initial playlist * Better support for WRK files with lyrics and other metadata * MIDI and Karaoke examples * Support for KeySignature meta-event * Desktop and AppStream metadata updated * Updated CMake buildsystem * minimum required cmake version 3.14 * macOS target Sierra (10.12) * uninstall target Build requirements * C++11 compiler * Qt5 * Drumstick libraries v2.2 * Uchardet v0.0.7 * CMake 3.14 Copyright (C) 2021 Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas License: GPL v3 or later Project and Source Repositories https://sourceforge.net/p/dmidiplayer https://github.com/pedrolcl/dmidiplayer Downloads https://sourceforge.net/projects/dmidiplayer/files/v1.3.0/ https://github.com/pedrolcl/dmidiplayer/releases/latest

[LAA] Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard 0.8.3 Released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another instrument or MIDI file player. Changes in v0.8.3 * Czech translation updated, thanks to Pavel Fric * French and German translations updated, thanks to Frank Kober * Documentation fixes (GH ticket #2, Thanks to Darío Hereñú) * Preferences dialog reorganization, options are now split into three tabs * New option: Qt Widgets style * New option: Forced dark mode * Windows: Fusion style assigned by default (option can be changed in the command line or the preferences dialog) * Added SCM Revision to the about box, when building from SVN or Git repositories * Revised GNUInstallDirs usage. * New option: BUILD_DOCS, enabled by default in Unix. You can use it to avoid building the man page. * Requires: drumstick-2.2.0 Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: * CMake 3.14 * Qt 5.7 * Drumstick 2.2 Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for questions and comments.

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Drumstick is a set of MIDI libraries using C++/Qt5 idioms and style. Includes a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface: ALSA sequencer provides software support for MIDI technology on Linux. A complementary library provides classes for processing SMF (Standard MIDI files: .MID/.KAR), and Cakewalk (.WRK) file formats. A multiplatform realtime MIDI I/O library and a GUI Widgets libraries are also provided for Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX. Changes in v2.2.0: * French and German translations updated (Thanks to Frank Kober) * Removed warnings when buiding with Qt >= 5.15 * New CMake build option: BUILD_UTILS (ON by default) * Documentation for BUILD_UTILS and BUILD_TESTING options * Added SCM Revision to the about boxes of the GUI utils * Changes in Drumstick::File * MIDI texts/lyrics en/decoding defaults to Latin1 * new QWrk class signals with a QByteArray parameter instead of QString * (the old signals are also emitted when a QTextCodec is assigned) * Changes in Drumstick::RT * FluidSynth backend: initialization moved to a background thread * Audio driver names are dynamically retrieved for using in configuration dialogs * Changes in Drumstick::Widgets * added WASAPI options to Fluidsynth settings dialog in Windows * removed background settings from pianokeybd, to allow better dark theme transitions Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: CMake 3.14 and Qt 5.7 Copyright (C) 2009-2021, Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas License: GPL v3 or later Project web site https://sourceforge.net/p/drumstick Online documentation https://drumstick.sourceforge.io/docs/ Downloads https://sourceforge.net/projects/drumstick/files/2.2.0/
