Drumstick libs 1.1.3 and VMPK 0.7.2 Released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Drumstick Libraries 1.1.3 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), Cakewalk (.WRK), and Overture (.OVE) file formats. A multiplatform realtime MIDI I/O library is also provided for Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX. Changes for v1.1.3 * Fixed ticket #14: migration to CMake's GNUInstallDirs, deprecated LIB_SUFFIX, use CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR instead if required * Fixed ticket #16: drumstick-file neverending loop with bad MIDI files * Fixed ticket #17: macos CoreMIDI.framework bad name case * drumstick-rt: fluidsynth module renamed and optionally available again Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: CMake 3.1 and Qt 5.7 Copyright (C) 2009-2019, Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas. License: GPL v2 or later Project web site http://sourceforge.net/projects/drumstick Online documentation http://drumstick.sourceforge.net/docs/ Downloads http://sourceforge.net/projects/drumstick/files/1.1.3/ Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard (VMPK) 0.7.2 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 for v0.7.2 * Fixed ticket #52: macOS mojave dark mode enabled * Fixed ticket #53: complain at startup if a default drumstick-rt backend is missing * Fixed ticket #55: problem with the trackpad in mac laptops * Fixed ticket #57: removed all Google+ links * Fixed ticket #58: broken link to the instruments definition files * Qt 5.12.4 libraries included on binary packages Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: CMake 3.0, Qt 5.x and Drumstick 1.1 or later.

Yoshimi V 1.6.0 released

by Will Godfrey

V1.6.0 Yoshimi is now 10 years old and (while fully respecting its origins) is forging it's own path into the future. Do come along for the ride. Our headline feature is extensions to AddSynth voices and modulators. There is a new AddSynth noise type. There are extra mute options. There is a global bank search entry in the main window's instrument menu, and a button in the instrument bank window. Also in the main window there is a button to temporarily disable an individual system effect. In the part editor window there is now a 'Humanise Velocity' slider. We've made an improvement to the way recent histories are managed. All the above features are, of course, also available to the command line interface. 'Reports' and 'Midi Learn' openers have been swapped. There is a new group of easy to use NRPNs. There have been improvements to Copy/Paste. There is tighter control of startup. Incidentally, whenever we add new features, the default is always to keep the existing behaviour. The Advanced User Manual has been considerably Expanded. Under the hood Ring buffers have now been changed to a bespoke type. Almost all file system operations have been moved to a single source file. As well as running headless, Yoshimi can now be built headless. The command line has additional protection against overlength lines, and corrupted data. More details in /doc/Yoshimi_1.6.0_features.txt Yoshimi source code is available from either: https://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi Or: https://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi Full build instructions are in 'INSTALL'. Our list archive is at: https://www.freelists.org/archive/yoshimi To post, email to: yoshimi(a)freelists.org -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Qtractor 0.9.9 - Summer'19 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello all, For the third time and hopefully the last in the current northern estival season comes the final 'batch-of-one': Qtractor 0.9.9 (summer'19) is out! These are the changes for this Summer'19 release: - Fixed editing and display of 'Pgm Change' events on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll). - Introducing tempo/beat-detection support on the Clip / Tempo Adjust... dialog (provided libaubio >= 0.4.1 is available); and now also featured with some rough visual clues ;). - Updated for the newer Qt5 development tools (>= 5.13). - Imply asking for a brand new filename (ie. Save As...) whenever the session file original sample-rate differs from the current audio device engine (ie. JACK). - Configure updated to check for qtchooser availability. - Fix MIDI through for LV2 plug-ins that have no MIDI output event/atom ports. 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.

spectmorph-0.5.0

by Stefan Westerfeld

spectmorph-0.5.0 has been released. Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.5.0: ---------------------------------------- * Support user defined instruments - graphical instrument editor - new WavSource operator * Make standard instrument set smaller (less download/disk usage) * Graphical ADSR editor * Added "SpectMorph User Manual" (online: html/pdf) * Use different colors for active/used/unused operators * LV2 now requires instance access feature * Add file dialog wrapper shell scripts to work with some ardour bundles * Integrate XML (pugixml) and ZIP (minizip) 3rd party code * Minor fixes and cleanups What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be combined using morphing. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3 Integrating SpectMorph into your Work ------------------------------------- SpectMorph is currently available for Linux and Windows users. Here is a quick overview of how you can make music using SpectMorph. - VST Plugin, especially for proprietary solutions that don't support LV2. (Available on Linux and 64-bit Windows) - LV2 Plugin, for any sequencer that supports it. - JACK Client. Note that at this point, we may still change the way sound synthesis works, so newer versions of SpectMorph may sound (slightly) different than the current version. Links: ------ Website: http://www.spectmorph.org Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing between instruments. -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan
