Hi,
I'm pleased to announce KMidiTracker 0.5.10, the new revision of my KDE
Midi Tracker, or Step Sequencer, as you wish to call it.
New features include SysEx capture of messages, columns are muteable,
and finally MIDI clock messages are undestood (as master and slave), so
it can finally interact with other sequencers as Rosegarden4.
You can get it from
http://www.monasteriomono.org/programs/kmiditracker/
Small introducion to KMidiTracker (from the website).
-------
Introduction
KMidiTracker is a MIDI Step Sequencer.
A Step Sequencer is a sequencer in witch the MIDI notes are delivered
at regular time intervals, usually a 1/4th of a quarter note. As such it
is not as versatile as a regular sequencer as [Rosegarden], but allows
very easy creation of loops and sequences. The use of the [MIDI Clock]
allows several sequencers communicate clock events, so it is possible to
join several sequencers, with diverse focus, to make one single
synchronized composition.
KMidiTracker is similar to trackers like [FastTracker],
[ScreamTracker] or [Buzz], but only the Tracker; no actual sound is
emmited. Only MIDI signals.
The Tracker divides songs in tracks, each one have several patterns
that are arranged as sequences. Time advance in steps that depend on
tempo, and in each time step a new MIDI note may sound, or a controller
event may be sent. You can have several columns of notes and/or
controllers for each pattern, and pattern length is configurable.
KMidiTracker Features
* MIDI oriented Step Sequencer
* ALSA MIDI input/output
* Keyboard input
* Graphical Controller edition
* Controllers include MIDI Controllers, SysEx Controllers and PitchBend
* MIDI Master Clock (master and slave)
* Linux RTC timer or MMC if avaliable for perfect timing
* Tracks and columns in patterns muteable

Hi all,
the conference programme of the International Linux Audio Conference 2005
(LAC2005) in Karlsruhe, Germany, on April 21st-24th, 2005, is now online
at http://lac.zkm.de. Small changes are still possible, though.
Also, registration (free) for the conference is now possible, too, at
http://lac.zkm.de/registration.shtml
Quote from that page:
"Admission to this year's conference requires a registration. This helps us
to estimate how many visitors we may expect, what individuals the audience
is made of, and allows to produce name tags for all attendees so that it
becomes easier to identify each other.
The registration is free - and so is the conference (except for the concerts).
The data you enter here is purely for our own informational purposes, and
will never be given away or sold to anyone. If you register, no confirmation
of any kind will be sent to you. You can even completely omit the E-Mail
address, but providing it makes it easier for us to tell if there's a real
human behind a registered identity or rather a robot/spambot."
So, there you have it. Go ahead, read, register and come :-)
Thanks for reading,
The LAC05 organization team:

xjadeo is a rather featureless video player (it understands just one
single video encoding) that displays the video frame corresponding to
jack's timebase.
Its purpose is to make possible visual feedback when working on the
soundtrack of a video clip. For this you need audio software that
makes use of jack's transport capabilities.
The idea is simple: your audio software drives jack, and jack drives
xjadeo. Audio and video are synced.
You can find xjadeo 0.1.0 source tarball at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xjadeo/
Read the README file for details on building and usage.
Hi,
sc88sysex is a command-line program to send and receive system exclusive data
to/from a Roland SC-88 device using ALSA raw MIDI ports. This program is a
Bash script front-end to the ALSA amidi(1) utility.
Roland uses two types of System Exclusive messages: RQ1 (data request 1) and
DT1 (data set 1). This program can build both types calculating check-sums,
and has some mnemonic symbols for addresses, sizes and commands. It can be
used or extended for other Roland and GS devices with few changes.
http://perso.wanadoo.es/plcl/misc/sc88sysex-0.1.tar.gz
Examples:
$ sc88sysex -a BULKDUMP -z ALL
Sends a bulk dump request using the default MIDI port to the
SC-88, and stores the received data in a file named
"sc88_bulkdump_all.syx"
$ sc88sysex -c GSRESET
Sends a GS reset command to the SC-88
$ sc88sysex -s dump.syx
Sends a data file "dump.syx" to the SC-88.
$ sc88sysex -a '40 00 00' -z '00 00 04' -r deftune.syx
Gets the master tune parameter from the SC-88 saving it on a
file named "deftune.syx"

Pedro
