KMidimon is an application to monitor MIDI events coming from a MIDI external
port or application via the ALSA sequencer. It is especially useful if you
want to debug MIDI software or your MIDI setup.
http://kmetronome.sourceforge.net/kmidimon/
Features for release 0.3:
* New Connections menu, with three items: connect-all,
disconnect-all and a dialog allowing the user to configure
ALSA sequencer connections from inside the program.
* New column showing the source ALSA client and port for
each event.
* New configurable option to show the ALSA client name
or number, applied to the new source column and elsewhere.
Other major features are
* Easy to use KDE graphic user interface
* Based on ALSA sequencer.
* Customizable event filters and sequencer parameters
* Supports all MIDI messages and some ALSA messages
* Saves to a text file the recorded event list
* GPL licensed

Jack has finally reached version 0.100.0. In brief, more functions
for getting latency statistics, better thread handling, and a more
verbose way of connecting to the jackd server.
This new function is jack_client_open(). From the documentation:
Open an external client session with a JACK server. This interface
is more complex but more powerful than jack_client_new(). With it,
clients may choose which of several servers to connect, and control
whether and how to start the server automatically, if it was not
already running. There is also an option for JACK to generate a
unique client name, when necessary.
Jack-0.100.0 is available from http://jackit.sf.net, although a new
website is in the works.
***CHANGES***
Rewritten coreaudio driver
Switched to ALSA-1.0 API
Added functions jack_client_create_thread(),
jack_get_max_delayed_usecs(), jack_reset_max_delayed_usecs(),
jack_internal_client_handle(), jack_internal_client_load(),
jack_get_internal_client_name(), jack_internal_client_unload(),
jack_get_xrun_delayed_usecs(), jack_client_open(), and
jack_get_client_name(). See documentation for details.
Removed functions jack_set_server_dir(), jack_create_thread()
Added header file <jack/statistics.h>
ALSA, OSS, and CoreAudio drivers now have -I/-O options for setting
systemic latency.
Added client request type RecomputeTotalLatencies
Compiles and runs on MacOSX 10.4
Change the way threads get RT scheduling. it is now requested by the
thread rather than assigned by the thread's parent. in cases where
capabilities are used, the child is also given capabilities so that
it can release + re-acquire RT scheduling as needed.
Prevent watchdog from killing anything is JACK is freewheeling.
And of course tons of bug fixes.
Sincerely,
Taybin Rutkin
Hello all,

INTRODUCTION

E-radium is Radium and a special version of E-UAE.
Radium is a midi music editor for the amiga and E-Uae is an amiga
emulator.
CHANGES
-------
0.61c -> 0.6d:
-Increased amount of Z3-memory from 32 to 64. Also increased the amount of
chip-mem from 2 to 8 to let there be more time to quit/save after getting
a warning about too little memory. For now, this seems to work...
-Lowered the keyboard repeat rate a bit.
-Fixed make install
-Use standard mouse pointer.
-Upgraded Radium from 0.61c to 0.61d:
-Added scroll-mouse support. Scrolling up is exactly the same as pressing
arrow up, and scrolling down is exactly the same as pressing arrow down.

Bugfix release. Added patch for 64bit architecture support, thanks to
Andreas Steinmetz, and a bugfix to the shaped dither that increases its
signal to noise ratio. All projects that use this code should update.
The intention is that applications that require this function should
include hte code, rather than adding it as a depenency.
About libgdither:
Libgdither is a library for applying dithering to PCM audio sources.
Dithering is a process to remove the intermodulation distortion from
signals that are to be been reduced in bitdepth.
This code is (c) Steve Harris 2001-2005 and released under the GNU Public
Licence. Details may be found in the file COPYING.
It can do conversions between any combination of:
in out (optionally interleaved)
-------------------------------------------------------------
normalised mono float 8bit unsigned ints
normalised mono double 16bit signed ints
32bit signed ints
normalised float
normalised double
At any bitdepth supported by the input and output formats

E-radium is Radium and a special version of E-UAE.
Radium is a midi music editor for the amiga and E-Uae is an amiga
emulator.
CHANGES
-------
0.61b -> 0.61c:
-Use the X mouse pointer instead of the amiga mouse pointer. Much
more responsive and smoother.
-Added support for the 1280x960 screen mode. (oops)
-Removed one buzy-loop which I had overlooked when merging two sources,
and increased the idle rate to 20. UAE shouldn't use 50% cpu when idle
anymore.
-Removed use of /dev/rtc. It was not ment to be used.
-Automatically set the window-position at 0,0. No need to see
both the unix window borders and amiga screen borders at once.
Configuring a fullscreen is now a lot less work.
-Lower the use of gfx-mem from 32megs to 16megs to boost the cpu-performance.
(I think)
-Higher the amount of z3 memory from 16megs to 32 megs. 16 megabyte
was far to little as radium often ran out of memory.
-Added "make install"
-Upgraded radium from 0.61b to 0.61c. From Radiums changelog:
-Don't scrollplay when scrolling more than one line up or down.
-Added shortcuts for inserting exactly one line (Left Alt + down)
and deleting exactly one line (Left Alt + up).
-Switched keybindings for continue block (Right Shift + Space) and
continue song (Right Shift + Right Alt + Space).
-Put back the old running-scripts and such that I forgot to include
in the previous release. Shouldn't be that hard to run radium now.
-And other smaller fixes.
Hi,
after having bought a Midisport 8x8 I had reverse engineered
the sysex commands to configure the offline patches. I also
wrote a small shell script to configure it.
These days I have written a small Qt-program to do so. You can
download it from here:
http://sysexxer.sourceforge.net/files/MidischbochtPanel.tar.gz
It's the first program I ever wrote, so don't expect too much.
Please do not send feature requests, there are so many things
I'd like to add but I still have to learn a lot about
programming.
If I continue working on it, then one of the next versions
will be a complete rewrite because the code is so dirty and
inelegant ;-) . But my goal was to write code that is useful
for me.
Hope you like it,
ce
