Hi,
I'm happy to announce release 0.5.1 of QMidiArp.
It brings some new features for Arp patterns suggested by gionnico
on
the tracker. New 't' and 'g' tokens provide semitone shifts, and
repeating '0' within chords play out several notes even when only one
note is pressed on the keyboard.
It also brings some sort of automation for the parameter storage
(see feature list
below) that might be interesting when working with live sequencing.
I've updated the demo_seqlfo.qmax that you'll find in
/usr/share/qmidiarp/examples
and you can download a
yoshimi xmz file made for that demo, from
the sourceforge qmidiarp 0.5.1 folder.
Check
it out, it's a nice sequence I think.
Enjoy playing with QMidiArp
Frank
-------------------
Everything as usual is on
http://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net
and the direct download link is
http://sf.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.5.1/qmidiarp-0.5.1.tar.bz2…
Main changes are listed here:
qmidiarp-0.5.1 (2012-11-17)
New Features
o Global Storages have new features accessible through right-click
on each storage location. You can choose if at pattern end another
storage location is automatically selected and create dynamic pattern
sequences.
o Global Storage now has a position pacman indicator for each module
o Clicking on the top button in the global store window now raises the
selected module window
o When Jack is not available at program start, show a message window
o Introduce semitone shifts in Arp patterns (request 3574549 by gionnico)
o Allow repetition of the 0 note within chords to stack notes when only
a single note is played on the keyboard (request 3574549 by gionnico)
o The module input-output panels on the left can now be hidden, this
leaves some more space when running several modules side-by-side
Fixed Bugs
o When starting from scratch, qmidiarp sometimes didn't start with
internal clock
o When editing an arp pattern while running, qmidiarp crashed when the
pattern length reached zero
o Deleting the last module sometimes crashed qmidiarp
o Trigger mode sometimes caused hanging when a new note was received
o Global Storage locations did not get updated when module names changed
General Changes
o There have been many changes toward realtime compatibility under the
hood. In particular, there are no more memory allocations/frees in
the realtime component.
o LFO Waveforms with high resolutions and lengths appear with finer
streaks
o The Mute state of each module is no longer changed when a parameter
restore is done
o Overall CPU usage should be slightly reduced
Suil 0.6.6 is out. Suil is a lightweight C library for loading and
wrapping LV2 plugin UIs. Suil transparently presents UIs written in
any toolkit as the desired widget type of host programs, so hosts do
not have to depend on foreign toolkits.
This release fixes embedding Gtk in Qt, adds support for native
Windows UIs in Gtk, and fixes a few bugs. Updating is recommended,
particularly for Qt hosts.
Suil home: http://drobilla.net/software/suil/
Download: http://download.drobilla.net/suil-0.6.6.tar.bz2
Changes:
* Fix embedding Gtk in Qt as a child widget (support reparenting)
* Support for wrapping native Windows UIs in Gtk2
* Gracefully handle UIs with no port_event method
* Replace host provided features that match Suil implemented features,
rather than passing UIs duplicate features
* Disable timestamps in HTML documentation for reproducible build
Enjoy,

I'm pleased to announce the release of a programmable metronome.
The click sound itself is built from up to 8 octaves of sound with some
natural resonance. The fundamental frequency is user choosable. You
are able to audition tempo and click sound through ALSA. Importantly,
the output can also be a 16 or 24 bit wave file for import into a DAW.
You can append to your click track file, changing tempo or meter as you
go. And best of all, you can read in a tempo map from a text file.
Grekim
The download is found in the "accessories" part of the page:

P.S. Someday, I'll find interesting names to these gadgets.

A wild crosspost appears!
Laborejo, Esperanto for "Workshop", is used to craft music through notation.
It is a Lilypond GUI frontend, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection to inspire and help you compose.
It works by reducing music-redundancy and by seperating layout and data.
Before you read the details make sure to connect to Laborejos Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus!

This is the release of version 0.4
Download: https://github.com/nilsgey/Laborejo/tarball/0.4
Dependencies: http://www.laborejo.org/documentation
Linux Instructions: Unpack, cd into the created directoy, execute:
./laborejo-qt
Then use the number- and cursor keys for immediate success!
Check Help->Manual for navigational and note/rest entry keys. Everything else is in the menus.
New since version 0.3 (highlights):
* Lyrics are visible under the tracks directly and aligned to their notes
* Nicer cursor :)
* New dynamics like fp and sfz.
* New commandset for note speed entry with the numblock.
* Colored always-visible Marker in the GUI to indicate track groups. Also displays small instrument name for better orientation
* Lilypond binary and pdf viewer are now a config variable
* More Subsitutions (assign a pre-defined group to host notes. Group gets transposed and scaled accordingly). Final Fantasy arpeggio, common melody figures etc.
* Many bugfixes and small improvements that make the program work like you expected it to do anyway
Most important known problems:
* This is Alpha Grade Software. Don't use for long-term work. However, the produced midis and PDFs will last forever.
* There is no built-in jack midi output yet. You have to export midi files.
* Documentation is nearly non-existent.
* Deleting selected objects may result in strange gui behaviour. Nothing a save/reload can't fix for now.
Have fun, it would be nice to hear from you!

Hi LADs,
I'm pleased to declare http://ltcsmpte.sourceforge.net/ as deprecated
and release libltc-1.0.2 into the wild.
Linear (or Longitudinal) Timecode (LTC) is an encoding of SMPTE timecode
data as a Manchester-Biphase encoded audio signal. The audio signal is
commonly recorded on a VTR track or other storage media.
libltc is a LGPL library which provides functionality to encode and
decode LTC to/from timecode.
source: https://github.com/x42/libltc
documentation: http://x42.github.com/libltc/
In addition to a major API overhaul, libltc adds support for
vari-speed en/decoding and reverse LTC. Furthermore the LTC decoder's
accuracy and efficiency has been improved. The various tools that came
with ltcsmpte have been migrated to https://github.com/x42/ltc-tools .
A fully functional LTC slave and latency free encoder can be found in
Ardour3 since svn rev. 13390.
Many thanks to Chris Goddard who spent countless hours staring at
scopes, listening to LTC and doing real-world tests to assure sample
accuracy and quality in general.
Thanks to Jaromír Mikeš and Alessio Treglia libltc has already found
its way into debian.
happy A/V syncing,
robin
PS. The timecode conversion functions of ltcsmpte are in progress to
find their way into a standalone library which is still in the works.

GeoSonix is a graphical music sequencer and music composition
environment I've been developing for over a year after forking it from
IanniX. I contributed to development of the previous version of
IanniX, but my goals differed from those of the IanniX team.
What distinguishes GeoSonix from IanniX is that it has much better
support for MIDI as well as built in support for the control and
generation of rhythmic music harmony, and "tonal music", the ability
to incorporate bitmap images into music generation, and many other
unprecedented capabilities for music composition. I will be
continuing to extend GeoSonix in these directions.
For examples of what GeoSonix can do, see my Vimeo site:
vimeo.com/user4679000/videos (and these are a tiny taste of its
capabilities).
Previously GeoSonix has been only available for Mac (and earlier, for
Windows) but I'm pleased to announce a first version for Linux.
You can download a binary version here (64 bit):
bitbucket.org/chrisgr99/geosonix/downloads.
Source code is also available from bitbucket.org/chrisgr99/geosonix
It's based on the Qt.
Warning: I developed and tested the Linux version on the one Linux
computer I have available here but I don't have another to confirm
portability. Please let me know ASAP if you find any problems, by
email to chrisgr99 at gmail dot com.
I welcome comments and suggestions.
