With season's greetings and the unexpected honor to be the first this year: QMidiArp is finally reborn ! Although yet in another alpha state this arpeggiator, sequencer and MIDI LFO has grown quite a bit in functionality and, hopefully, usability. Special thanks for his explanations and initial support go to Guido Scholz. ENJOY and best wishes for 2011 Frank QMidiArp is available for download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.3.9/qmidiarp-0.3.… and it now has an own sourceforge project page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp and git repo git://qmidiarp.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/qmidiarp/qmidiarp (developers welcome) Tutorial videos are available on youtube, just search for qmidiarp.
