Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.5.1 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/RMI (Standard MIDI Files) and WRK (Cakewalk) file formats Changes in v1.5.1: * Fixed GH ticket #6: The dependency target "update_helpfiles" of target "dmidiplayer" does not exist. The pandoc utility is optional again. * Fixed error checking of DwmGetWindowAttribute() call. This caused a problem in Windows 7 running the "Windows Classic" theme. * Support for RIFF MIDI files, provided by Drumstick 2.4.0 * Czech manual updated, thanks to Pavel Fric Build requirements: * C++11 compiler * Qt5 * Drumstick libraries v2.3 * Uchardet v0.0.7 * CMake 3.14 * Pandoc (when BUILD_DOCS=on) 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/v1.5.1/

B.Angr 1.6.0

by Sven Jaehnichen

Hi, a new release of B.Angr is out now. B.Angr is a multi-dimensional dynamically distorted staggered multi-bandpass LV2 plugin. B.Angr basically consists of four parameter instances of Airwindows XRegion. XRegion itself is a distorted multi-bandpass filter plugin. B.Angr fades automatically or manually between the four parameter instances. The result is a dynamic and heavily distorted sound. See the preview video. What's new: * Faster * Optimized DSP code * Compiler optimizations (`-O3 -ffast-math`) * Support lv2:Parameters, lv2:State * Cursor XY can now externally be controlled * Binary compatibility improved * Static libs * Strip symbols by default * Binary packages provided Github: https://github.com/sjaehn/BAngr/ Releases: https://github.com/sjaehn/BAngr/releases/tag/1.6.0 Preview video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kWy_1UYazo <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kWy_1UYazo> Regards, Sven
