Ladies and Gentlemen,
hereby the Laborejo Software Suite releases updates for its programs in
the hope to be useful in your musical toolbox.
You can now download Laborejo 2.1.0, Tembro 0.5.1 and Fluajho 1.7.3
The programs require a new version of our library, libcalfbox-lss-1.1.0 which is now also released.
Laborejo (Esperanto: Workshop) is a MIDI sequencer based on classical
music notation. Its main purpose is to compose and produce "traditional" music,
such as instrumental pieces, soundtracks and other music normally played
back by samplers. Working in Laborejo is very fast and efficient by using
a combination of midi input and typing.
Tembro (which is Esperanto for musical "Timbre") is a virtual software
instrument based on samples. All instruments are permanently built-in.
All projects and all users have the same setup, ideal for communication
and collaboration.
Fluajho (with jh as in pleasure) means fluid in Esperanto. It is a simple
sf2 soundfont host/player for Linux. Behind the scenes the Fluidsynth
library is at work, hence the name.
Changelog Highlights:
[All] Turn off auto connecting the audio ports. Replace with default-off menu setting to do so.
