KMid is a MIDI/Karaoke player for KDE4. It runs in Linux, using the ALSA
Sequencer.
KMid plays MIDI and karaoke files to hardware MIDI devices or software
synthesizers. It supports playlists, MIDI mappers, tempo (speed), volume and
pitch (transpose) controls and configurable character encoding, font and
color for lyrics. The graphic views include a rhythm view (visual metronome),
a channels window with solo/muting controls and instrument selectors, and a
piano player window (Pianola).
Changes for this release:
* New Mac OSX and Windows backends
* Fixes in ALSA sequencer backend:
· don't set an explicit output pool size, using the default size instead.
· unconditionally reload MIDI devices before checking the available outputs.
Drumstick shared libraries v0.3.1 are recommended.

Hi again,
Since 6pm UTC today linuxaudio.org is hosted on a new server (actually a
VM).
Due to slowly failing hardware on the old machine were urged to perform
the migration ahead of schedule and were unable to send out a
notification about it beforehand.
The hosting is (still) provided by by the Virginia Tech, Department of
Music and Digital Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio. Many thanks to
Ico Bukvic. Daniel James takes care of DNS. and a big thanks to
Marc-Olivier Barre who manages the email services.
All systems go.

Dear mailing list users,
The list migration to the brand new virtual is complete and all the
problems seems to be fixed. As Robin told me when we were in the middle of
this panicky evening: "when we find what the problem is, we will all laugh
about it". Well, let me share the laughing with you:
It was just a typo !
Funny how trouble in the computer world eventually always turn out to be
an invisible typo in a configuration file :)
Enjoy your new server and post away !
Cheers,

Greetings,
Even though the Iceland volcanic ash plumes are still messing up the air,
I decided to do some spring cleaning after all and started with what's
laying around here, collecting dust. Bad timing or not, it's now or never.
Über-procrastinator dixit.
Remember that piece of junk that I rig on every desktop which still has
some PCI card slots anyway? If you don't, I'll tell you once more: the
Yamaha DB50XG piggyback. I know it's not easy find those nowadays, but
there's always that auction sites for you to try. Moreover the hosting
sound-cards which exposes a Creatine Labs Waveblaster daughter-board
expansion port, are no easier too. Ah, the good old nineties...
Never mind, so here it goes again:
QXGEdit 0.1.0 has fallen from the attic!
This stands as the second public release and who knows what next spring
cleaning will bring ;)

Change-log:
- Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has been
slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to wrong main widget
hidden state.
- General source tree layout and build configuration change.
- Make build compilation work for gcc >= 4.4.0, by adding some missing
standard C99 includes.
- LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap just makes it
a shortcut to File/Save.
- Uservoice (QS300) AmpEG Attack, Decay Level 1 and 2 parameters now have
a bit cleaner, clearer out-of-the-box default values.
- Uservoice (QS300) preset combo-box drop-down list now gets its current
item selection set alright.
- Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to disk
when Options dialog changes are accepted and applied.
- Variation part parameter is now a drop-down combo-box.
- New reset button for reverb, chorus and variation parameters.
- Randomization of all current vparameter values is now available,
allowing for great experimentation and exploration of brand new sound
settings (just try View/Randomize).
- All graphics lines are now slightly gray colored, instead of plain black
or white, or whatever the current theme text color.
- Added user confirmation for QS300 user voice preset replacement; preset
files are not deleted from file-system anymore.

KMetronome is a MIDI metronome with KDE4 user interface, based on the
ALSA sequencer.
Changes in 0.9.3
* Build system adapted to the changes in Drumstick-0.3
* Bundled Drumstick-0.3.1 library sources

Drumstick is a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface using
Qt4 objects, idioms and style. ALSA sequencer provides software support for
MIDI technology on Linux. Complementary classes for SMF and WRK file
processing are also included. It is used in KMetronome, KMidimon
and KMid2, and was formerly known as "aseqmm".
Since the release 0.3.0 there are two libs: drumstick-alsa and drumstick-file.
Changes:
* Allow to build drumstick-file library under Windows.
* New method MidiClient::parseAddress() replacing the ALSA function
snd_seq_parse_address() in MidiPort::subscribeTo() and similar methods.
* Fixed MidiClient::getAvailableInputs() and getAvailableOutputs() forcing
to always retrieve the updated clients list from ALSA.

Hi everyone,
got nothing to do during the Easter holidays ? I don't think so...
The second edition of ____The LAC Times____ is online:
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010/LAC_Times_2010_04_02.pdf
Subjects in this edition:
* A first glimpse of the LAC 2010 programme
* The 150-Years-of-Music-Technology Composition Competition
* A short history of recording sound [part 2]
No longer do you need to worry what to do at Easter. Now you'll worry what to do first:
study the programme to decide which day(s) you're gonna visit the Linux Audio Conference,
work on your composition or read Than's second history lesson.
Enjoy !
Marc
I'll put a printer-friendly version under the News tab of the LAC site soon.
Dear fellow FOSS/Pd/Linux audio enthusiasts,
It is my pleasure to announce the upcoming April 17th (Saturday) spring L2Ork / DISIS event that will feature the debut of the Boys & Girls Club of Roanoke, VA satellite laptop orchestra, as well as several guest artists, including:
Ron Coulter (SIUC, percussion, composition, computer music)
Mark Engebretson (UNCG, composition, computer music, saxophone), and
Matthew Burtner (UVA, composition, computer music, saxophone)
The evening event will be split into:
. 7pm children's showcase designed primarily with children and parents in mind, and
. 8pm benefit concert of experimental music. Funds raised at this event will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Roanoke, VA, a non-profit organization that offers critical afterschool programs for children. Apart from L2Ork numbers, the 8pm program will also offer compositions involving innovative creative technologies, including musical robots.
The admission to both events is free.
