Drumstick Libraries 2.5.0 and wrk2mid 1.1.0 released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Drumstick Libraries 2.5.0 ==================== Drumstick is a set of MIDI libraries using C++/Qt5 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 v2.5.0: * New build options: BUILD_ALSA, BUILD_FILE, BUILD_RT, BUILD_WIDGETS to control building only some of the libraries. * RT, VPiano: Fixed ALSA and CoreMIDI backends, enabling empty connections (for using external connection tools). * Deprecation of the Drumstick::File functions affected by the QTextCodec class removal on Qt6. * Raised macOS deployment target to 10.13 (High Sierra). * Widgets: changed the white keys background picture depending on the key background color. * VPiano: new option to display inverted key colors. * File: WRK format markers processing. Closes ticket #37.

License: GPLv3 or later Changes for v1.1.0 * New build option: BUILD_DOCS. * New Build option: USE_QT to choose between Qt5 and Qt6. Closes ticket #3. * Convert WRK track Port parameter. Closes ticket #2. * Convert WRK markers into SMF text markers. Closes ticket #1. * Displayed compiled and runtime library version information.

XUIDesigner v0.3 released

by Hermann Meyer

Goal Provide a easy to use GUI generator tool to create X11 UI's for LV2 plugins. Currently only libxputty is supported, but the generated GUI C file could be used probably with other widget tool-kits as well, just a wrapper file is needed to translate the generated file to the needs of a toolkit. Currently state XUiDesigner parse the ttl file from a selected plugin and generate the needed controller widgets. Supported been the usual lv2:port parameter and as well the new atom based LV2_PATCH__writable and LV2_PATCH__readable so as LV2_ATOM__Path. XUiDesigner use the environment variable LV2_PATH to scan for plugins when no path is given with the -p command-line parameter. So you could easily create a GUI for a existing plugin. A integrated Color chooser allow to create a Color theme for your GUI. The created GUI could be saved as UI-Bundle, which then could be build (just make) and installed (just make install) to replace or provide a new GUI for the plugin. You could as well create a LV2 plugin from scratch and save it as Full Plugin-Bundle to a selected location. The project settings window allow to setup the specs (like Author name, URI, Audio/Midi ports, etc.) for your plugin XUIDesigner save the bundle in a git repository format, contain a working LV2 plugin with all needed resources (ttl files, converted C files from used images, etc.) and build files to build, install and run the new generated plugin. All you need to do to finish your plug is to implement your DSP part. Control widgets could be created and moved/resized freely around in the top Window. A grid could be displayed and widgets could snap to grid (left, right, Center) to order them easily. Control widgets could be grouped in a frame or a tab box and then the complete group could be moved to the final position in the Window. Any control widget could be replaced with a other control widget, so for example a Toggle Button could be replaced with a ComboBox, or a Knob could be replaced with a slider, or . . You could set the range for a controller, and it's default value, You could create enums for a ComboBox, . . Most Control widgets could be replaced with images you could select from a included file browser. XUIDesigner have a test-mode as well, which will build and run the created GUI, and give some useful information out in the terminal. Currently supported widget types * Knob -> support horizontal framed png/svg * HSlider * VSlider * Button -> support png/svg/horizontal framed png/svg * Toggle Button -> support horizontal framed png/svg * ComboBox * Value Display * Label * VMeter * HMeter * Frame * TabBox * WaveView * File Chooser Button Build * git submodule init * git submodule update * make * sudo make install # will install into /usr/bin https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/releases/tag/v0.3 regards hermann

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard (VMPK) 0.8.5 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 v0.8.5: * New build option USE_QT with valid values 5 or 6, to choose which Qt major version to prefer. By default (if not set) it uses whatever is found. * Fixed ticket #74: crash under Linux using the MIDI Connections dialog. if there are no suitable MIDI inputs/outputs available. * Fixed error checking of DwmGetWindowAttribute() call. This caused a problem in Windows 7 running the "Windows Classic" theme. * Swedish translation updated. Thanks to Magnus Johansson. * Czech translation updated. Thanks to Pavel Fric. * Requires: drumstick-2.4 Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: * CMake 3.14 * Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 note: Qt6 support is still experimental * Drumstick 2.4 Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for questions and comments.

Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.5.2 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 v1.5.2: * New build option USE_QT to choose among Qt major versions (5 or 6). By default (if not set) it uses whatever is found. * Fix for crash in Linux when using the MIDI connections dialog, and there are not suitable MIDI ports available. * Czech translation updated. Thanks to Pavel Fric. Build requirements: * C++11 compiler * Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 Note: Qt6 is still experimental * Drumstick libraries v2.4 * 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/v1.5.2/

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello everybody, Qtractor 0.9.24 (autumn'21) is released! Change-log:: - A new option has been added to reset/resend all MIDI track/channel and buses controllers on playback start (cf. View/Options.../MIDI/Playback/Reset all controllers on playback start). - Whenever possible, avoid suggesting Save As... to an extracted archive/zip directory. - Fixed an old nasty mistake when renaming session names and then saving into an archive/zip bundle file (.qtz). - Fixed Mixer multi-row automatic layout consistency, when adding new or removing existing tracks or buses. 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.
