gst123-0.0.2 has been released.
Overview of Changes in gst123-0.0.2:
------------------------------------
* passing a directory as argument will play all files in that directory
* cursor keys can be used to seek in the file that is being played
* time display includes hours now
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.
It is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2

Hi,
I am proud to introduce Foo YC-20, the Yamaha YC-20 software synthesizer
The YC-20 is a divide-down combo organ designed in the late 60's. This
emulation faithfully copies the features, sounds and flaws of the
original organ.
Features:
* 61 keys
* Two main voice sections
* Switchable bass section
* No polyphony restrictions
* A realism control to add flaws found in the real organ
Flaws:
* Unbelievable amount of CPU load
* No touch vibrato
The emulation is written in Faust and uses Jack for audio and MIDI. All
controls of the synthesizer can be controlled with MIDI.
http://code.google.com/p/foo-yc20/http://foo-yc20.googlecode.com/files/foo-yc20-1.0.0.tar.bz2
Note! The synthesizer contains and undocumented "easter egg". If the
program is given an argument, that argument will be used as the
configuration file name. The file will be created if it doesn't exist.
When quitting, the file is overwritten with the current setup.

Hello,
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, funk to funky. Yawn. Cut the non-sense,
there's no burial service nor Bowie's song here. Just blowing some aging
stuff, maybe giving the patine that it deserves ;) Almost one long year
has gone by and sadly enough, there's no big new and flashy features to
show off. But, nevertheless,
Qsynth 0.3.5 is out from the closet!
Hope you enjoy the (not so big) news :) Have fun.
Description:
Qsynth is a FluidSynth GUI front-end application written in C++ around
the Qt4 toolkit using Qt Designer. FluidSynth is an excellent command
line software synthsizer based on the Soundfont specification.

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.
- Most modal message dialog boxes (eg. critical errors) are now replaced
by system tray icon bubble messages where available.
- Reverb and Chorus parameter ranges have been revised to match and
comply with fluidsynth back-end (libfluidsynth).
- Fluidsynth channel info and unset program interfaces are now in use
where available (libfluidsynth >= 1.1.1, EXPERIMENTAL).
- Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to disk
when Options dialog changes are accepted and applied.
- Output peak level meters get their long deserved gradient look.
- Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb),
back-traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build targets
(--enable-debug).
- Added Czech (cs) translation, contributed by Pavel Fric.
- The channel preset selector (Channels/Edit...) has been seriously
crippled for ages, only showing the presets of the last loaded
soundfont, now fixed.
- Minimum number of MIDI channels allowed on engine setup has been
dropped from the old value 16 to as low as 1 (one), not that it makes a
difference, as (lib)fluidsynth internals just rounds it to the nearest
multiple of 16 anyway.
- Cleanup to knobs source, simplified from redundant stuff.

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.
