Hi all, The first batch of the 'QStuff*' is now being released for the New Year: QjackCtl [1], Qsynth [2], Qsampler [3], QXGEdit [4], QmidiCtl [5] and QmidiNet [6], are all out for the (northern) Winter'22 season. ** QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface [1] ** QjackCtl 0.9.6 (winter'22) released! QjackCtl is an aged yet modern, not so 'simple' anymore, Qt [7] application to control the JACK [8] sound server, for the Linux Audio [12] infrastructure. Change-log: - Dropped autotools (autoconf, automake, etc.) build system. - Limit or mitigate fast auto-scrolling when moving Graph client nodes off the viewport. - Whenever possible, adopt the previous named default preset, when starting the JACK-server on premises. - Conditional fix to MacOSX and FreeBSD builds.

rtcqs, continuation of the realtimeconfigquickscan project

by Jeremy Jongepier

Dear all, I'd like to announce rtcqs, the continuation of the realtimeconfigquickscan project. It's a port to Python with some added extra's, like a Spectre/Meltdown mitigations check and a Qt GUI. It has the approval of the original author of realtimeconfigquickscan to whom I owe a debt of gratitude, not only for the original code but also for his helpfulness with the continuation, or maybe even evolution of the project. So check it out, indulge me with bugs, issues, improvements or any other useful feedback on the Codeberg repo which you can find at at https://codeberg.org/rtcqs/rtcqs Happy system tuning and happy holidays! Jeremy

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard 0.8.6 Released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events 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. Changes in v0.8.6: * Fixed advanced setting on connections dialog. * Enabled empty input connection after fix on drumstick-ALSA: requires external connections utility. * Better inverted piano colors after fix on drumstick-widgets: changed the white keys background picture depending on the key background color. * Removed dependency on Qt6::Core5Compat when building with Qt6 * Requires: drumstick-2.5 Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: * CMake 3.14 * Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 note: Qt6 support is still experimental * Drumstick 2.5 Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for questions and comments. Thanks. Copyright (C) 2008-2021, Pedro López-Cabanillas and others License: GPL v3 More info http://vmpk.sourceforge.net Downloads http://sourceforge.net/projects/vmpk/files/0.8.6/

Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.5.3 Released

by pedro.lopez.cabanillas＠gmail.com

[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 v1.5.3: * After drumstick ticket #37: WRK format markers are supported * Replaced deprecated signals from drumstick-file when building with Qt6 * Requires: drumstick-2.5 Build requirements: * C++11 compiler * Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 Note: Qt6 is still experimental * Drumstick libraries v2.5 * Uchardet v0.0.7 * CMake 3.14 * Pandoc (when BUILD_DOCS=on) Copyright (C) 2021 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/v1.5.3/

Cowbells: a Clojure library for musical experiments and live coding

by Balázs Ruzsa

Hi. During the past year or so I've been working on a Clojure library which lets me live code FluidSynth from within a Clojure REPL. I personally use Emacs with CIDER, but it should work from a plain REPL or any other editor that supports interactive development. The project got to a point where I think it is ready to be shown to the world. Feature highlights: - drives an in-process FluidSynth instance through the C API bound into the JVM via JNR-FFI - notes can be represented by keywords (:c-3), MIDI note values or scale degrees - supports any kind of scale (just give it the list of intervals) - musical phrases can be encoded with either Clojure data structures or an equivalent text-based syntax - musical phrases can be bound to variables for reuse in other phrases - supports scoped change of scale, mode, root note, octave, semitone offset, MIDI channel, velocity, note step and duration - supports live looping (in the sense of Extempore or Sonic Pi) - the sequencer is pretty generic, it could be used to control anything, not just musical devices (e.g. it would be possible to play music and control an OpenGL visualizer via OSC simultaneously from the same patterns) - there is a tutorial which can be followed in a Clojure-capable editor, with runnable examples Note that some Clojure programming knowledge is necessary to make use of this tool. The library and the tutorial can be found at https://github.com/omkamra/cowbells Merry Christmas, Balázs Ruzsa (cellux)

GSequencer v3.14.0 released featuring AgsHybridSynth

by Joël Krähemann

Hi all, Advanced Gtk+ Sequencer v3.14.0 was just released. The main goal of this minor release is to implement AgsHybridSynth. Although, not all effects have yet been implemented of the new synth. Main functionality works so far. AgsHybridSynth uses an effect processor "ags-fx-synth" to realize synthesis, on the opposite to the legacy synths available in GSequencer which are using audio signal templates. AgsHybridSynth has fully automatable effect control input ports. The synth itself supports like prior synth implementations phase reset, but it was improved and phase is reset relative to the frequency played. Further, phase reset is tied to an LFO. http://nongnu.org/gsequencer cheers, Joël
