# Drumstick Libraries v2.9.1
Drumstick is a set of MIDI libraries using C++/Qt 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 v2.9.1:
* RT library:
* initialization of PipeWire in the FluidSynth backend.
* fix for #25: FluidSynth backend, ability to configure chorus and
reverb parameters.
* fix for #24: FluidSynth backend, ability to set several soundfonts.
* Fix for #19: preliminary support for Sysexes under windows.
Thanks to Luca Santini.
* Widgets library:
* fix for #25: FluidSynth settings dialog, configuration of chorus
and reverb.
* fix for #24: FluidSynth settings dialog, select several soundfonts.
* Misc:
* fix for #21: github workflows.

# Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.7.4
Drumstick 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 v1.7.4:
* better sequence info dialog
* Fix for GH ticket #25: VanBasco web site is gone!
* Fix for GH ticket #20: High density of MIDI events slows down playback
tempo
* Fix for GH ticket #22: Hanging note if dmidiplayer is closed using the
close window button during playback
* GH actions - workflows
* Building with Qt6 by default. For Qt5 compatibility, a new option
USE_QT5 must be set.
* Upgraded CMake requirement to 3.16

Dear all,
QMidiArp 0.7.1 has just been released.
This is an important maintenance release fixing an ugly bug where the
sequencer module crashed right away when added. The bug had been around
for quite some time, because it did not expose on all c++ system
implementations.
Best
Frank
Description
QMidiArp is an advanced MIDI arpeggiator, programmable step sequencer
and LFO for Linux. It can hold any number of arpeggiator, sequencer, or
LFO modules running in parallel. It does not produce sound by itself and
needs to be connected to software or hardware synthesizer.
Arpeggiator modules produce sequences depending on the notes sent to
their input port, which is typically connected to a keyboard or another
sequencer.
Step sequencer modules allow you to create simple linear, monophonic and
globally transposable sequences similar to the first analog sequencers.
MIDI LFO modules independently produce MIDI controller data of
adjustable waveform, time resolution, amplitude and duration.
A Global Storage Tool can store different setups and switch between them
at a given time. It allows you to dynamically combine patterns and LFO
wave forms.
The modules are also available as LV2 MIDI plugins.

Ratatouille is a Neural Model loader and mixer for Linux/Windows.
This release does several small fixes.
Ratatouille allow to load up to two neural model files and mix there
output. Those models could be [*.nam files](https://tonehunt.org/all) or
[*.json or .aidax files](https://cloud.aida-x.cc/all). So you could
blend from clean to crunch for example, or, go wild and mix different
amp models, or mix a amp with a pedal simulation.
Ratatouille using parallel processing to process the second neural model
and the second IR-File to reduce the dsp load.
The "Delay" control could add a small delay to the second model to
overcome phasing issues, or to add some color/reverb to the sound.
To round up the sound it allow to load up to two Impulse Response files
and mix there output as well. You could try the wildest combinations,
or, be conservative and load just your single preferred IR-File.
Each neural model may have a different expected Sample Rate, Ratatouille
will resample the buffer to match that.
Impulse Response Files will be resampled on the fly to match the session
Sample Rate.

Ratatouille is a Neural Model loader and mixer for Linux/Windows.
This release implement easier File switching. It's now possible to
switch the selected files via mouse wheel, via mouse button click and
via keyboard up/down keys. Right mouse button click will pop up the
file-list and allow to select a file directly.
Also, it implement lighter CPU usage for convolution (IR-File), on non
power-of-two buffer sizes, by using the multi threaded FFTConvolver engine.
Beside that the GUI was a bit overworked.
