[LAA] Cal Big Styles 1.0.0: Initial release

by Dominique Michel

Hi, I was frustrated by the font sizes in Calf when used with a high resolution screen. So, I made new styles with bigger font sizes and I put them on github. https://github.com/domichel/calf_big_styles https://github.com/domichel/calf_big_styles/archive/refs/tags/1.0.0.tar.gz The only differences from the original styles are the font sizes. To run 'make' will show you how to install them. If Calf was installed into /usr, it should be as easy than su -c "PREFIX=/usr make install" The next time you run Calf, these styles will appear into the preferences widget. Enjoy, Dominique Calf Studio Gear: https://calf-studio-gear.org/

[LAA] 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
