[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

[LAA] Drumstick Libraries 2.8.0 Released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Drumstick is a set of MIDI libraries using C++/Qt idioms and style. Includes a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface: ALSA sequencer provides software support for MIDI technology on Linux. A complementary library provides classes for processing SMF (Standard MIDI files: .MID/.KAR), RIFF MIDI (.RMI), and Cakewalk (.WRK) file formats. A multiplatform realtime MIDI I/O library and a GUI Widgets libraries are also provided for Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX. Changes in v2.8.0: * ALSA library: o added assignment operators for sysex and text events * File library: o Fix for ticket #48: SMF Parser does not report enough errors o Improved RMID file support: + Extract DLS embedded data + Decode DLS instrument names + New mime type * RT library: o Sonivox backend: enabled DLS file loading * Widgets library: o Fixed compiler definitions o virtual piano: clip note children (labels) o Sonivox configuration dialog updated o Implemented change soundfont function for the Sonivox backend. * Utils: o dumprmi: fixed QScopedPointer template for arrays * Misc: o Fix for ticket #49: Link failure when Qt6 is compiled with visibility=protected o Updated doxygen settings for Doxygen 1.9.5 o Unit tests: conditionally run ALSA test and run the Widgets test using the QPA platform "offscreen" Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: * C++11 compiler * CMake 3.14 * Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 (with Qt6Core5Compat library dependency for Drumstick::File) Feature dependencies (for some platforms): * ALSA (Linux only) * PulseAudio (Unix) * D-Bus (Unix) * Sonivox (Unix) * FluidSynth (All platforms) Copyright (C) 2009-2023, Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas License: GPL v3 or later Project web site: https://sourceforge.net/p/drumstick Online documentation: https://drumstick.sourceforge.io/docs/ Downloads: https://sourceforge.net/projects/drumstick/files/2.8.0/

[LAA] Qtractor 0.9.34 - A Spring'23 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

One third time, Qtractor 0.9.34 (spring'23) is released! Change-log: - Fixed the snap-to-beat of new notes entry on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) due on time signature changes. - Start JACK transport rolling only when metronome Count-in ends. - Fixed an allegedly old and incorrect 0dBfs notch position on MIDI track/buses audio meter sidekicks. - Send/return and Aux-send inserts now show the proper name and the target output bus name on the properties editor title respectively. - Fixed a zero-day blunder that was keeping the real-time process cycle from having the uniform block-size of 64 frames per period; (thus, probably ineffective since v0.9.30). - Multiple MIDI clip tools may now be applied simultaneously, in a single shot, in the following priority order: quantize, transpose, normalize, resize, rescale and timeshift. - Plugin inventory scan now slightly optimized to an allegedly lesser aggressive cache-invalidation algorithm. - Do not send/Preview notes on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) when playback is currently rolling. - Send all pending MIDI Note-Off events when playback stops/shuts-off (and/or the Panic! button is hit). - Fixed the internal MIDI file player queue to the highest resolution possible (PPQN aka ticks-per-beat). - Prepping into the next development cycle (with Qt >= 6.5). Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

[LAA] Vee One Suite 0.9.31 - A Spring'23 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi there, a second time, The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments, * synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer; * samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer; * drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler; * padthv1 [4] a polyphonic additive synthesizer. Are here released for the (northern) [i]Spring'23[/i] season... All being delivered in dual form, still: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. A (not so) common change-log follows: - Added Loop End Release mode switch: whether to play over the sample loop-end point when entering note-off EG release stage. (applies to samplv1 [2] only) - Make sure the XCB interface is in use when instantiating the LV2 plugin on non-Qt hosts, allowing LV2 X11 UI embedding to work and show up properly. - Prepping into the next development cycle (with Qt >= 6.5).

QXGEdit is a live XG instrument editor, specialized on editing MIDI System Exclusive files (.syx) for the Yamaha DB50XG [14] and thus probably a baseline for many other XG devices. Change-log: - Micro-adjustments to the View > Options... dialog layout. - Prepping into the next development cycle (with Qt >= 6.5).

QmidiCtl [5] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [15] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI [15] for Windows. QmidiCtl [5] was long ago designed for the Maemo [17] enabled handheld devices, namely the late Nokia N900 [18] and promoted to the Maemo Package [18] repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [5] may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android application as well.

QmidiNet is a MIDI network gateway application that sends and receives MIDI data (ALSA-MIDI [9] and JACK-MIDI [8]) over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [15] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI [16] for Windows. Change-log: - Fixed lost or out of order messages on JACK-MIDI client. - Prepping into the next development cycle (with Qt >= 6.5).
