About Pd-L2Ork
Pd-L2Ork is a fork of the ubiquitous Pure-Data focusing on improved user
interface, expanded collection of externals, and an advanced SVG-enabled
graphical front-end. Originally it was introduced as the core
infrastructure for the Linux Laptop Orchestra (L2Ork
http://l2ork.icat.vt.edu), and has since expanded to include K-12
learning module with a unique learning environment offering adaptable
granularity that has been utilized in over dozen maker workshops and
initiatives, including the Raspberry Pi Orchestra program for middle
school children introduced in the summer 2014. Today, pd-l2ork is being
developed by a growing number of international collaborators and
contributors.

ISMIR 2015 Reminder for Late-breaking Demo Contributions
We would like to remind you of the possibility to submit extended
abstracts to the ISMIR 2015 late-breaking demo session. This session is
dedicated to the presentation of preliminary results, ideas, applications
or system prototypes that are not yet fully formed nor systematically
evaluated, but of interest to the MIR community.
Authors are encouraged to submit extended one-page (preferred) or
two-page (maximum) abstracts to the late-breaking demo session here:
https://www.softconf.com/f/ismir2015-lbd/
Submit your late-breaking demo contribution in PDF format according to
one of the following templates:
http://ismir2015.uma.es/submissionstemplates/ISMIR2015-LBD_tex_template.ziphttp://ismir2015.uma.es/submissionstemplates/ISMIR2015-LBD_word_template.zip
Submissions do not need to be anonymized. Please note that all
late-breaking demo presentations will be posters and they may include or
not a demo component. Submissions must clearly state if there is to be a
demonstration component, and briefly address any special technical
requirements.
To guarantee the proper allocation of the late-breaking demos in the
conference venue, the submission system will be closed by October 26,
2015 . We will screen submissions for formatting compliance after they
are received, acceptance/rejection notifications will be sent to authors
as soon as the submissions are screened. Please try to upload finished
abstracts instead of placeholder documents. This will largely facilitate
our job to decide which contributions to accept.
Note that at least one author of an accepted late-breaking demo abstract
must be registered for the conference and present the work there.
All questions should be directly addressed to the ISMIR 2015
late-breaking demo chairs at mailto:ismir2015-latebreak@ismir.net.

After a nail-biting wait on the edge of your seats, the Eye-Candy Release
is upon us!
As promised, the donate/wait goal is now fulfilled and the GUIs for the
Infamous Plugins are all released. A lot has changed (even the install
process), so check them out. Find them at our new site:
http://ssj71.github.io/infamousPlugins
As usual please report any bugs you find!
As a side note, the donate-wait thing worked pretty well for me, despite
resulting in a "deadlock". Since the project was done, and not enough
people were interested financially I was able to move on to working on
other projects for 11 months (osc2midi and rkr lv2 are the results). I may
or may not try it again, but really, if you have several projects that you
can rotate around, "just wait" isn't so bad. The whole goal is to bring
income to our much-needed developers, I realize that, but this does
generate a bit of buzz and a month of time was bought back, which was more
than I'd ever received before. Huge thanks to the donors!
And to all:
enjoy!

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.
The precompiled packages include the GeneralUser GS SoundFont by S.Christian
Collins (http://www.schristiancollins.com/generaluser.php) ready to use
with the FluidSynth output driver (also included in these packages, providing
beautiful sounds out of the box).
Changes for v0.6.1:
* Fixes for ALSA (Linux) and Windows input drivers,
(provided by Drumstick 1.0.1 libraries)
* Packaged using the Qt Frameworks 5.5.0
* Fixed ticket #27: save keyboard maps with default xml extension
* Fixed ticket #29: display input event noteon with velocity=0 as noteoff
* Color palette management fixes
* Updated Russian and Serbian translations
Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: CMake 3.0, Qt 5.1 and
Drumstick 1.0 or later.
Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for questions
and comments. Thanks.

Drumstick is a set of MIDI libraries using C++/Qt5 idioms and style. Includes

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 with ALSA, OSS, Windows, Mac OSX, Network
and FluidSynth direct output backends.
Changes for v1.0.1
* RT library: Fix for ticket #4: ALSA Midi Input not working
* RT library: Fixed windows midi input
