Radium is a free (as in speech) music editor with a novel interface.
It's inspired by trackers, but has fewer limitations and uses graphics
to show musical data.
The development of Radium started in 1999 on the Amiga platform. Since
then it has been ported to Linux.
Features:
Sound effects automation
Tempo automation
Velocity automation
Polyphonic tracks
Unlimited number of tracks.
Unlimited number of lines.
Unlimited note, tempo, and effect precision.
Undo/Redo
Zoom in/out.
Import standard midi files and MMD2/MMD3 modules
Note sequence effects such as transpose, quantitize, glizzando, invert
and reverse.
Support for Jack MIDI and ALSA MIDI. (Both at the same time.)
Configurable key bindings, menues, fonts, and colors.
Extension language support. Write programs that generates music or
modifies your songs

Dear all,
There it is, Yoshimi 1.0.0, in memory of ALan "Cal" Calvert who passed
away exactly one year ago. Cal, we're pretty sure it's only angel horns
you hear and no devil trombones!
https://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi/files/1.0/yoshimi-1.0.0.tar.bz2
Changelog:
* Modified INSTALL file and added instructions on how to build Yoshimi
outside the source tree. Thanks to Jimmy for the instructions.
* Previously when microtonal loaded .xsz files, it did not convert the
tunings back into their x.y format, which was displayed to the user,
this patch corrects this mistake. Thanks to Mark McCurry for the patch.
* Renamed Yoshimi icon.
* Applied patch from SourceForge ticket #3487751 (Simplify desktop file
and install it and the icon file). Thanks to Tim harder for this patch.
* Yoshimi likes GCC >= 4.7 again.
Thanks everyone for the contributions and patches.
Best,
Jeremy
Hello everybody! Finally it has happened, nearly two years from the
last stable release we are ready to present to you the final MusE 2.0
version. A lot has happened and changed, still the migration from 1.1
to 2.0 should be quite easy and definitely worth it.
The big changes since 1.1 are as follows:
* Moved to qt4, this affects the visuals and potentially improved portability
* Graphical automation in the arranger
* A new score editor
* MusE now defaults to using midi through Jack, -A enables native alsa support
* New style MDI gui with a bunch of configuration options to satisfy all tastes
* Redone midi editing tool dialogs with lots of new functionality
* Lots and lots and lots of internal small and big changes to improve
stability, speed and functionality
* PSIIF support (support for: probably something important I forgot)
A much condensed list of changes since the last beta are as follows:
- Sync fix: MusE now records tempo changes from externally clocked midi.
- Finally! Audio controller playback has smooooth frame resolution
even with large audio buffers.
- Feature: Midi control of audio paramters.
- Lots of automation improvements
- Switched to use JACK midi
- Added: -A switch: "Force inclusion of ALSA midi even if using Jack".
- Lots of leaks removed
- Added colorhints to iR and oR routing buttons
- Templates: File dialog: Lots of changes
- Lots of widget focus fixes
- Allow loading of DSSI synths in LADSPA browser.
- Midi editors: Added "Delta Mode" button to Note Info toolbar.

MusE 2.0rc2
Hello everybody and a happy new year!
The final release is now in sight, here is one (hopefully) final
release candidate, rc2. Quite a bit of polish has been done in the gui
and some under the hood fixes for various audio and midi data
handling.
Crunched list of improvements:
- New super-glue feature
- Global Cut: Fixed crashes with markers. Re-did marker section in
structure.cpp:adjustGlobalLists().
- Fixed drag and drop cloning parts - bad reference count in
PartCanvas::moveItem()
- File Open dialog: Start with song data and configuration.
- New 'Duplicate tracks' Edit action, and dialog. Post-cleanups. TODO:
Copy plugins, fix copying parts
- Audio strip prefader now controls audio.
- Fixed: Annoying ladspa browser issues. Leak: Dialog was not
destroyed. Sorting. Save complete state
- Fixed long-time graphics corruption issue: Large areas of desktop
erased to background.
- New: Midi routing matrix! No more clumsy routing menu items.
Currently for Midi Track iR and Audio Input iR solo routes
- Improved: Midi ports list now fills automatically at start
- List only writeable ports in track list output port column and midi
track info combo box.
- Jack midi devices now save an additional required rwFlags xml tag.
- Midi ports dialog: Auto dis/connect the stated default channels when
selecting a device.
- Complete Spanish translation from Cristian Ramos
- Improved: Project save dialog: Now has quick save as Template.
Separate project/result paths shown. Editable project folder.
- Added: Project directory in global settings dialog.
- Changed: In File Dialog, 'User' initial prepend path changed to
muse ./config path. So user files + templates are shown.
- Fixed: Template directory changed from /home/templates to muse
config directory. Support for old files included.
- Fixed: DSSI synth audio inputs. This means dssi vocoders, samplers
etc. should work now
- Re-write: Fixed audio mixing, meter processing. Audio, and meters,
for all mono <-> stereo route combinations work sensibly now.
- Window titles of ladspa and dssi plugins now have track name prefix
to help identify them.
- Added "Unused Devices" menu to the arranger's port popupmenu for
rapid device selection

MusE 2.0alpha
Hello everybody, we have a present for you, a new release of MusE.
The alpha indicates this is an early version so it's mainly
- a teaser to spread the word.
- an early adopters build.
- to welcome developers who want to port MusE to other platforms.
MusE has now been completely ported to the Qt4 architecture and we
(mainly Tim and Orcan)
are busy to make it even better than before, lots of gui stuff being reworked.
MusE now also sports a new version of the DeicsOnze, DX11 emulating
softsynth, up from version 0.2 to 1.0.
The homepage has received a new look that we hope will give a better
indication of what MusE is and does.
Do visit http://muse-sequencer.org.

Hi,
Petri-Foo is a sampler for linux using JACK. It was originally a fork of
the Specimen sampler project. A new version is now available to download
from sourceforge.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/petri-foo/files/petri-foo-0.1.4.tar.bz2
This release brings further cosmetic changes improving the overall look
of Petri-Foo. The fan sliders have gone, so it must be time to
mention the precision modifying shift and ctrl keypresses for the
sliders.
If you missed the 0.1.3 release, here's a quick rundown of the changes:
* migrated from autotools to cmake
* updated and slimmed-down PHAT replacement called Phin.
* mousewheel waveform zooming
* velocity range setting for patch
* auto-preview (with optional resampling) in sample selector dialog
* recoded deprecated gdk calls to use cairo.
* lots and lots of bug fixes i've long since forgotten about
Some say it's the successor to Specimen and that the two shouldn't
co-exist. All I know is it's called Petri-Foo.
http://petri-foo.sourceforge.net
Cheers,
James.
This is the Release of Lisalo 1.0
Grab it here, no installing required:
git clone git://github.com/nilsgey/Lisalo.git
Lisalo - Linux Sampler Loader
Linux Sampler Loader is a command line program that loads entire
directories of sample files or takes instructions from a meta .lsl file
with relative paths to samples.
This program exists because you can't share linuxsampler lscp files
or even move files around on your own disk. Lscp files only work with
absolute paths and are too low level anyway.
Now you can quickly and easily load sampled instruments without
even starting a GUI. The lsl files are very simple, see example.lsl,
and can be shipped around with your sfz sample package like the
Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra (lsl file already included in this release)
Version 1.0 Licensed under GPLv3 by Nils Gey, June 2012
Only dependencies are Python and Linuxsampler.

Well, it is time for another release, this one mostly being a bugfix release.
The primary changes are:
- Non-session manager support
- Midi aftertouch support
- Documentation additions
- Somewhat more sane Nio defaults
- Fewer xruns with patch loading
- Misc bug fixes (solving a few possible segfault issues)

Hopefully this will fix some issues people have reported.

Here it goes.
Mostly a LV2 1.0.0 compliance release with some fixes from the stash
and fewer candies from the jar. On the darker/brighter side (your
choice) there's news on the LV2 atom(ic) fall-out now being officially
over. A new dawn has commenced, quite as every day follows every night
may I add.
Dang!
I'd better stop right here and save you all from that boring
trivialities. Let's go with the plain, interesting facts:
Qtractor 0.5.5 (foxtrot uniform) swings out!
Release highlights:
* LV2 Atom/MIDI support (NEW)
* LV2 Worker/Schedule support (NEW)
* LV2 Presets support (NEW)
* LV2 Time/position support (NEW)
* LV2 Programs/instrument support (NEW)
* MIDI plugin event timing on tempo changes (FIX)
* Loop-recording/takes audio sync (FIX)
* Quick start guide and user manual (NEW)
* Russian and Italian translations (NEW)

Change-log:
- Auto-monitored MIDI tracks were missing their pass-through to their
respective MIDI output bus plugin chains, now fixed and letting any
multi-timbral instrument plugin to get a peek from auto-monitoring.
- New user option/preference to whether to open a plugin's editor
(GUI) by default, when available (cf. View/Options.../Plugins/Editor).
- Clicking and/or dragging for rubber-band selection on main
track-view canvas doesn't change the edit-head and -tail positions
anymore.
- Backward and Forward transport commands now have an additional stop
at first clip start point.
- LV2 Atom/MIDI buffering support is finally entering the scene; LV2
Worker/Schedule support is also included in a bold attempt to convey
non-MIDI event transfers between plugin and its UI.
- MIDI Clip editor (aka. piano-roll) and MIDI Tools fix: avoid note-on
events of zero velocity, which conventionally equates to a dangling
note-off event and dropped into oblivion sooner or later. There's no
more need for Shift/Ctrl keyboard modifier to change in one single
step all the MIDI events that are currently selected (now consistent
with drag-move).
- LV2 Presets support now entering effective operational status; a new
local option has been added (cf. View/Options.../Plugins/Paths/LV2
Presets directory; default is ~/.lv2).
- Dropped XInitThreads() head call as it was never useful but on those
early days of JUCE VST plugins.
- Italian (it) translation added (by Massimo Callegari, thanks).
- Clip fade-in/out dragging now follows snap-to-beat setting.
- Late modern eye-candy indulgence: alternate shaded stripes, on every
other bar as in a "zebra" background option for the main tracks and
MIDI clip editor views (cf. View/Snap/Zebra).
- LV2 Time/position information is now being supported through special
designated plugin input ports (after suggestion by Filipe Coelho aka.
falktx). Additionally, the time/position information report has been
corrected and complemented for VST plugins.
- Audio vs. MIDI time drift correction has been slightly improved
against rogue tempo changes across looping cycles.
- Honor tempo/timing on MIDI instrument plugins. Happy regression fix
on getting MIDI note-offs at looping ends back in business; all the
necessary bumming for MIDI plugins to play nice in face of tempo
changes and whenever playback is started from anywhere but the
beginning of the time-line (ie. frame zero); thanks to rvega aka.
Rafael Vega, for the heads-up).
- Audio clip wave-forms were being displayed in inverted phase (ie.
upside-down) all this time ever since day one. What a shame!
- LV2 Programs interface is getting initial experimental status, to
let LV2 instrument plugins get on par with the DSSI and VST crowd for
MIDI bank/program instrument inventory and selection support (a
sidetrack complot with Filipe Coelho aka. falktx, thanks:).
- Dropped the old but entirely useless LV2 URI-unmap feature, now
being superseded by official LV2 URID (un)mapper.
- Russian (ru) translation added (by Alexandre Prokoudine, thanks).
- SLV2 deprecation process started, effective now at configure time.
- Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures (patch by
Alessio Treglia, closing bug #3514794).
- Another approach avoiding recursive observer widget updates. Also
applies to mixer, monitor and track state buttons.
- Update to latest LV2 state extension (by David Robillard, thanks).
- Loop-recording/take number displayed on clip title, respectively.
- Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
- A one buffer period slack on audio engine's loop turn-around logic
might just have fixed an illusive report on loop-recording/takes going
progressively out-of-sync, most notably when recording under large
audio buffer period sizes (>= 1024 frames/buffer).
- Editing MIDI while playback is rolling, doesn't mute the track any
more, adding a point to the live editing experience.
- Finer granularity for direct access parameter mouse wheel changes.
- Dropped a dumb optimization for short full-cached multiple
linked/ref-counted audio clips which were incidentally out-of-sync
after rewind/backward playback. Once again and uncertain to be the
last take on this, got fixed (probably related to some oddity reported
by Louigi Verona, thanks).
Enjoy!

Hello all,
I would like to introduce a new development tool, Static Function
Property Verification, or sfpv.
sfpv is a static analysis tool for C/C++ which is designed to find one
common class of real-time related bugs, calling unsafe functions from
a real-time context.
sfpv uses annotations to mark functions and the Clang/llvm API to find
relationships between functions (eg. the call graph).
It uses this information to perform basic deductions on known
information (ie explicitly marked functions) to find inconsistencies.
Ideally this tool could be run on a project with only the real-time
entry points marked (eg the jack process callback) and errors would be
emitted for any unsafe functions called.
For simple C codebases, this is mostly accomplished currently, though
not all common safe functions in libraries have been white-listed yet.
Basic C++ code also works, though template and class hierarchies are
not guaranteed to function as expected.
The source code and basic documentation can be found at
http://github.com/fundamental/sfpv
This effort is largely based off a unsuccessful Google Summer of Code
proposal, which can be found at
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/fundamen…
Anyone interested in discussing this tool should be able to reach me
in #lad as fundamental.
