On behalf of the FluidSynth team I'm very happy to announce the release
of version 1.0.9 - "A Sound Future".
The nickname for this release was chosen based on the recent development
interest in the project and the addition of new team members. This last
development cycle is the result of contributions from many individuals.
The future of FluidSynth is looking bright and we are working to create
a more regular release schedule and plan for innovation and improvement.

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI event 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.

Hi,
Plugins for linux / jack are available free to download at
http://www.linuxdsp.co.uk
These are standalone jack client applications but they can be used with
for example Ardour via jack insert points. x86-64 versions are now
included along with the 32bit versions.

Dear all,
Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music composition
system. Users declaratively state a music theory and the computer
generates music which complies with this theory. A theory is
formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of
rules (constraints) applied to a music representation in which some
aspects are expressed by variables (unknowns). Music constraint
programming is style-independent and is well-suited for highly
complex theories (e.g. a fully-fledged theory of harmony). Results
can be output into various formats including MIDI, Lilypond, and Csound.
This release fixes a serious bug: before, Strasheela only worked when
IOzSeF (an Oz extension for constraint solvers) was installed. It
simplifies the installation on Windows by providing an installation
batch file. It also adds a collection of ready-made constructors for
musical segments such as contrapuntual lines, homophonic chord
progressions, or specific motifs, and adds a number of harmony-
related constraints. Further additions and bug fixes have been made
as well.
For more information on Strasheela, please visit
http://strasheela.sourceforge.net/

Dear all -
SuperCollider workshops will be taught at the Harvestworks centre in
New York this April (sessions from Sat 4th through Wed 8th). This is a
rare opportunity to learn from some of the developers of this
incredible environment and programming language for music and audio.
It won't all be linux-based but my segments will be conducted in
linux, and linux users will be welcome along for support. Full
details:
