The ALSA MIDI Filter (AMF) runs as an ALSA MIDI client, connects to a
configurable set of MIDI clients for input, processes its input (MIDI event
data) based on its configuration and the type and content of the MIDI
input, and sends the result to one or more connected MIDI output clients.
https://github.com/jjttcc/midifilterhttps://sourceforge.net/projects/midifilter/
I developed this application after looking into current MIDI filtering
packages for Linux (such as mididings and midish) and not being satisfied
with what I can do with them. AMF is implemented in perl, using the
MIDI::ALSA module, and is intended to be an open-ended project that will
grow and evolve as needed. Anyone interested is welcome to add their own
features and modifications - submit patches for consideration, fork it, or
etc. The license is GPL v2. If you're not a developer/hacker, you're
welcome to submit suggestions for additional functionality and
improvements. And, of course, bug reports are welcome.
Current MIDI-event filtering features:
- program-change - From note event where patch number is determined by
the pitch value.
- bank-select - switch to the next/previous bank.
- transpositions - Transpose pitches within a certain configured range up
or down by a specified number of half steps.
- Run external commands.
- Real-time START, STOP, and CONTINUE messages.
- MIDI machine control messages.
- Trigger a mode (which I call "program-change sample mode") that cycles
through the entire range of patches, with a pause in between each patch
change. In other words, it sends patch 0, pauses for a configured number
of seconds, sends patch 1, etc., until it has reached patch 127. This
allows the user to try out - "sample" - each patch of the current bank
without having to explicitly invoke a program change.

* Fixed memory corruption in blocklist when name of block was longer than 20 (!)
* Use standard paths for LADSPA plugins if LADSPA_PATH is not set
* Give message if a plugin generates abnormal signals, plus zero the signal.
* menues: Be more intelligent about which program to open
keybindings.conf/menues.conf/externals_list.txt with.
* pd: Upgrade libpds to latest version (Use system clipboard to store
cut/copy/paste data (to cut/copy/paste between different pd
instances))
* Fix MMD loader
* Note play indicator visual improvement (blinking circle)
* Enable volume up/volume down/mute/play keyboard buttons
* Button for setting random effect values.

**Munk!, a jazz/ska/funk band from Groningen, The Netherlands, has
released an album made with free software, The Magnetophon Sessions.
During the hot part of summer 2013, Munk! stayed at the cultural
freezone Landbouwbelang in Maastricht (The Netherlands) for a week and
recorded seven new tracks in the unique and inspiring studio
Magnetophon. During the recordings we played with the whole band at
once, to get the most musical results. All tracks are
one-take-recordings, no edits where made when mixing the album.
The Magnetophon Sessions is produced with opensource and free software
on GNU/Linux.
Most notably: Ardour2 for recording and mixing, LADSPA plugins for
mixing, Gimp for graphics, Lives for video art.
Recorded & mixed by Bart Brouns at Studio Magnetophon Maastricht

Our advise on price for the digital download would be in the range of 5
-- 10 euro, but there's no minimum or maximum, so feel free, thanks for
your support!

The development team of Musix GNU+Linux is proud to present version 3.0 Release Candidate 1 after
11 months of work since the last version 3.0 Beta, and after 4 years since the last stable
version 2.0. RC1 was released to get reports from users but it’s almost a final release. We
updated more than 300 programs from Debian Wheezy, re-installed kde-full, Rakarrack, Jamin,
Blender and various other programs for artistic creation. MusixControl works only in terminal,
but that will be resolved soon. Icewm desktop, KDE and Lxde are tailored to activities (office,
audio, MIDI, graphics, etc.) The Kernel 3.4.14-gnu-RT23 is 100% free as well as all software in
Musix and operates in real time for audio and music apps.
Special mention to the developers Ariel Errera , Carlos Sanchiavedraz , Gilberto Borges , Daniel
Vidal , Javier Llorente , Pablo Sastre , Pablo Lozano , Jose Vazquez Viader , Suso Comesaña ,
Mariano Ibaldi , Claudio Caldas , Martin Carr and Jacobo Najera (sorry if forget someone) to have
accompanied the project during this 2013 even with wide swings and the low availability of free
time.
Musix GNU+Linux 3.0 is based on Debian GNU/Linux 7.2 “Wheezy”

Hi folks,
I have been developing a suite of audio plugins using LV2 and LADSPA
open formats.
I am happy to announce that they are in working order and released on
Github at the address:
http://github.com/zamaudio
The suite so far consists of:
ZamAutoSat - Automatic saturation plugin
ZamComp - Mono Compressor plugin*
ZamCompX2 - Stereo Compressor plugin*
ZamCompExp - Stereo Compressor/Expander plugin
ZamEQ2 - 2x parametric EQ (with high/lowshelf and HP/LP) plugin
ZamValve - Valve distortion (WDF physical model* or tanh*) plugin
NB * In the same git repo under a different branch
The purpose of these plugins is to provide high quality DSP without
using an excessive amount of CPU, in an attempt to complement some of
the amazing work done on other free audio software projects by other
people. There is an exception: ZamValve has two different models one of
which uses very large proportion of CPU but has been commented that it
does sound much more realistic than the tanh model. The CPU hungry
version is in a separate git branch and is not selected by default but
can be compiled by switching to the zamvalve branch.
There currently is no documentation on how to use these plugins, but
anyone who is familiar with outboard gear should be able to work it out.
Plus the default settings and almost every slider is calibrated to
standard ranges.
Thanks to naptastic on #lad for the auto saturation algorithm.
Also, thanks to others in #lad for very useful input since I started
writing these plugins.
The rest of the algorithms were from DSP papers I have been reading from
my library subscription and I have mish-mashed a number of different
ones together to make these plugins function as expected.
Please send me feedback on my blog if you want to discuss these plugins:
http://www.zamaudio.com/?p=870
I would like to know how to improve them and appreciate all comments.
Thanks,
Damien Zammit
