Hi all, The 0.7.0 release of QMidiArp now ships with new LV2 plugin UIs based on the robtk toolkit by Robin Gareus for the first time. The UIs will get installed in parallel to the original X11 UIs that were still based on Qt. The new robtk plugin UIs are independent of Qt and do not link to system-provided libraries whose API changes frequently. For building them you need some new fellows though: glu, gl, cairo, pango and pangocairo headers are now required. The cmake or configure script will tell you. Note that with the new UIs, arpgeggiator patterns cannot be edited. But, the provided presets can of course be selected in the LV2 host. If needed you can add new patterns for the LV2 Arp module manually by editing the <lv2dir>/qmidiarp_arp.lv2/qmidiarp_arp.ttl file, presets are at the end of the file. All other modules and functions should work as before. Enjoy Download https://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.7.0/qmidiarp-0.7… Github https://github.com/emuse/qmidiarp Website https://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net/

QMidiArp 0.6.7 release

by Frank Kober

Hi all, Shortly after 0.6.6 this release corrects some issues found in the meantime mainly thanks to lv2lint and the old jack_interposer.so in the last 0.6.6 version. It also introduces a cmake build environment with the hope of making packaging easier. Enjoy Frank qmidiarp-0.6.7 (2023-04-11) New Features o Package: a cmake build environment is now available with the goal of less pain with libtool. Fixed Bugs: o fixed two small non-realtime function calls that had sneaked in last year. o fixed several lv2lint FAILS: lv2:resize extension was removed, lv2ui:qt5ui is no longer exposed, globally visible library symbols were hidden. lv2lint still reports being unable to instantiate the uis, but all tested hosts were able to do it.

Qmidiarp 0.6.6 released

by Frank Kober

Hi all, A highly overdue release of various improvements and bugfixes cumulated over the last five (!) years is finally out. The main changes are in the Global store that got some handy attributes added to the storage locations, i.e. you can now set a number of repetitions counter. You can also click on a spot within the location buttons to interrupt the automatic progression across locations temporarily. This may improve its usability a bit. Regarding LV2, there is now a X11 UI descriptor provided (thanks to Rui rncbc for a model how to do this in synthv1), but note that the qmidiarp plugins *UIs* are still not self-contained and link to the Qt5 libraries that were used for building, as long as nobody (including me) feels ready to rewrite a library-independent LV2UI for them. They were checked working nicely with qtractor, ardour 6, reaper, carla, jalv and bespoke synth locally, but be warned. The plugin dsps are, however, independent of Qt. Thanks go to Matthew McGuire for adding a phase setting to the calculated LFO waveforms and to all of you reporting bugs and suggesting features. qmidiarp-0.6.6 (2023-04-08) New Features o LFO: New control for phase of calculated waveforms (Matthew McGuire) o Global Store: Each storage location now has a "number of repetitions" property accessible through the context menu. o Global Store: Each storage location now has a "Go here and stay" storage sub-button to force remaining at that location. o ALSA MIDI: Sending MIDI Clock to a specified ALSA port is now available as a new preferences option Improvements o LFO and SEQ: More size and resolution values including odd values Although there is compatibility check in place for saved sessions, this may lead to wrong values for saved LV2 states if someone uses this at all. Long sequences only make sense for lower resolution. Drawing would not be possible with high resolutions and lengths. o SEQ: Improved display of loop marker o SEQ: Increased lower octave transpose range o Global Store: Preferences option to choose whether to store mute states o LV2: a X11 plugin UI interface is now available Fixed Bugs: o Regression: Arp strayed in notes with zero velocity o LV2: restored compatibility with suil > 0.10.2 o Crash when session managers tried to save/restore empty session o Regression with application of compact widget style o Regression when reading files with time module index -1 o Output port count could not be changed on commandline Changes: o Jack-Session support has been removed due to "official deprecation" Download https://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.6.6/qmidiarp-0.6… Github https://github.com/emuse/qmidiarp Website https://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net/
