Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard 0.8.9 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 v0.8.9: * Import DLS instruments for the Sonivox EAS synth backend. * New Italian translation. Thanks to Giovanni Mariani. * Fixed ticket #82: splash screen removed. * Closed ticket #65: Windows dark mode implemented in Qt 6.5. * Requires: drumstick v2.8. Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: * CMake 3.14 * Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 note: Qt6 support is still experimental * Drumstick 2.8 Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for questions and comments. Thanks. Copyright (C) 2008-2023, Pedro López-Cabanillas and others. License: GPL v3 More info: https://vmpk.sourceforge.io Downloads: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vmpk/files/vmpk/0.8.9/

Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.7.2 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 v1.7.2: * Fixed SF ticket #17: splash screen removed. * Fixed GH ticket #9: retain Locked Patches when replaying Midi File. * Fixed GH ticket #8: crash when loading a song from File->Open Recent Files. * Fixed GH ticket #7: detect default language setting. * Upgraded: uchardet v0.0.8. * Upgraded: drumstick-2.8. Build requirements: * C++11 compiler * Qt5 >= 5.15 or Qt6 >= 6.2 * Drumstick libraries v2.8 * Uchardet v0.0.8 * CMake 3.14 * Pandoc (when BUILD_DOCS=on) Copyright (C) 2021-2023 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/v1.7.2/ https://flathub.org/apps/details/net.sourceforge.dmidiplayer

Qtractor 0.9.34 - A Spring'23 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

One third time, Qtractor 0.9.34 (spring'23) is released! Change-log: - Fixed the snap-to-beat of new notes entry on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) due on time signature changes. - Start JACK transport rolling only when metronome Count-in ends. - Fixed an allegedly old and incorrect 0dBfs notch position on MIDI track/buses audio meter sidekicks. - Send/return and Aux-send inserts now show the proper name and the target output bus name on the properties editor title respectively. - Fixed a zero-day blunder that was keeping the real-time process cycle from having the uniform block-size of 64 frames per period; (thus, probably ineffective since v0.9.30). - Multiple MIDI clip tools may now be applied simultaneously, in a single shot, in the following priority order: quantize, transpose, normalize, resize, rescale and timeshift. - Plugin inventory scan now slightly optimized to an allegedly lesser aggressive cache-invalidation algorithm. - Do not send/Preview notes on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) when playback is currently rolling. - Send all pending MIDI Note-Off events when playback stops/shuts-off (and/or the Panic! button is hit). - Fixed the internal MIDI file player queue to the highest resolution possible (PPQN aka ticks-per-beat). - Prepping into the next development cycle (with Qt >= 6.5). 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.
