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. This library is used in KMetronome, KMidimon
and KMid2, and was formerly known as "aseqmm".
Changes:
* New visibility attribute for all public classes allowing client programs to
be compiled with hidden visibility if desired.
* Better error reporting for all the utilities.
* Subdirectory "tests" renamed as "utils".
* Utility "smfplayer" renamed as "guiplayer" and enhanced with a new interface
design and support for Cakewalk WRK files.

gst123-0.1.2 has been released.
Overview of changes in gst123-0.1.2:
------------------------------------
* Added -a option to select audio driver (oss, alsa) and device (/dev/dsp1, hw:1)
* Fix crash triggered when closing the video window (thanks Siddhesh Poyarekar)
* Improved configure check (works now if ncurses headers are not in /usr/include)
What is gst123?
---------------
The program gst123 is designed to be a more flexible command line player in the
spirit of ogg123 and mpg123, based on gstreamer. It plays all file formats
gstreamer understands, so if you have a music collection which contains
different file formats, like flac, ogg and mp3, you can use gst123 to play all
your music files.
Since gst123-0.1.0 support for watching videos has been added; however gst123
should run fine in situations where no X11 display is available; videos can be
played without X11 display, too (-x, --novideo); in this case, only the audio
stream will be played.
It is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2

spectmorph-0.0.3 has been released. The main improvement is that the piano
samples sound a lot better now, because the attack is modelled better by
the SpectMorph model.
Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.0.3:
----------------------------------------
* added encoder algorithm to find attack envelope, this makes piano sound much
more realistic
* introduced smwavset tool, which allows managing instruments consisting of
many samples
- encoding/decoding a set of samples
- delta operation for comparing errors of sets of samples
* smextract can now provide an overview of how many bytes in an .sm file can be
attributed to which fields
* documentation updates
* refactoring, cleanups
What is SpectMorph?
-------------------
SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of
musical instruments. This should allow constructing hybrid sounds, for instance
a sound between a trumpet and a flute. Also interpolating between two samples
of the same instrument (different attack velocity of a piano) could be
interesting.
SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3
SpectMorph currently is in the early stages of development, which means that it
is not yet ready to be used by end users.

There are sound examples on the website which demonstrate the sound quality of
the current SpectMorph models using piano samples.

Hi
We are pleased to announce the release of rakarrack 0.5.8 Equinox, a summer gift. This is a major feature release, but we have also fixed many old bugs.
We know that today is a Solstice, but we think that Equinox is a better definition for this version because we have worked diligently since release of 0.4.2, and 0.5.8 for us is like the start of a new cycle in the development of Rakarrack. Releasing on a Solstice is simply because this is a good reason to celebrate if you're a musician with preference for free open source software.

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.
Changelog

Hello Fellow Linux Audio Users,

unprecedented collection of Open-Source excellence and Commercial Linux
Audio Software Demos. For the full story including the list of included
applications please have a look at the Release Announcement pdf:
http://www.bandshed.net/pdf/AV4Released.pdf

Quoting from http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/2.0.1
Without further ado, we hereby give you the 2.0.1 release of ffado.
The changelog to the previous 2.0.0 is rather simple:
Make it work on the new firewire-stack.
Of course some more fixes went into the package. But its mostly intended for
distributors so they can finally deprecate/disable the old firewire stack in
kernels.
For more changelog and instructions please look back at the 2.0.0 release
announcement at http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/2.0.0
Get the package: http://www.ffado.org/files/libffado-2.0.1.tar.gz

Arnold, on behalf of the ffado-developers
